Welcomed by the green pastures and chirping birds, Lake Danao indeed offers the nature's finest that gives you the feeling of serenity and relaxation. The calm and mysterious waters of this guitar-shaped lake gives you both the feeling of tranquility and thrill. It's a joy that the Ormoc City's tourism department preserved the natural park in such way that nature can really reconnect with people in this modern world. Truly one of Ormoc's best prides.

I recommend coming here because it’s super relaxing and fun at the same time. The boaters were friendly and the boats itself gave a cool vibe to the trip. You have many options like snorkeling, walking the beach, swimming, and having a picnic too! There’s one island that has a snack stand with fish balls too.

Beautiful gem on the Southern tip of Leyte. Cool drinks, good food, friendly staff and honest owners. We found this place and couldn't be happier. The scrambled chicken was to die for!! Worth the drive and can't wait to go back!!

Highly recommend that you go early 5:00am, join a group to make the boat ride cheaper and secure one of the better situated 500p (group) or 240p (if going solo) cottages facing the Atol, which are raised off the ground and will protect from rain. I don't think the tents are worth it. They are hot, the ground is rough and uneven. Bring a pad and sleep in the cottage. I believe a 500p cottage can sleep 6-comfortably. Snorkeling! Rent yourself a traditional mask and snorkle for 150p. You should negotiate. The best area to s orkle is on the Rocky side where you'll see buoys tied between the shore and barrier reef. We saw giant clams, eels, puffer, angel, clown, parrot fish and even a sea snake! Swim in your flip-flops (slippers) or water shoes. Most sea urchins are tucked away in the coral. Rocks are super slippery when wet, take your time. At sunrise you can find loads of common periwinkles (edible sea snails). You can boil or stir fry these tasty critters! Pro tip: Bring a needle to eat the snails.

Great place for a stroll and even a picnic. What's new is they put up a light fountain show thing at night and more attractions here. This is truly a great leap forward. Good job Palo!

For foreigners visiting Tacloban this is the place that has everything you are probably missing if you have been away from home long. Has American style food, the best coffee in town, even a pancake place! movie theaters as well. The Philippines is a great place to visit, but sometimes amenities you may be used to at home are hard to find. This place is a welcome interlude and a safe place to shop
