This was my 3rd and 4th trip to Apo Island, and it didn't let me or my fellow divers down. The diving as it has been before was just fantastic. The coral was even better than I remember, the huge school of Jacks following us on one of the dive was only bettered by the sea snakes that were hunting and were not worried about the 6 divers in the water. When you go there take some local money because when the local ladies come out to sell you shirts and wrap arounds you will kick yourself if you miss out. Just a great place to dive, and proves that when a marine reserve is in place it works.

I've been going around Philippines for 6 weeks so far and this is my favourite beach I've come across. It is so quiet and not many tourists to enjoy your time on the sand and in the beautiful water. The water is blue and clean. There is not much trash. You will need a pump boat for 20 pesos per head across the river to the beach or to your resort if staying there. We didn't know when we turned up late..but in the end it's the most peaceful place I've stayed at and nicest beach. It's a secret place that will only get more popular so come before it does!
4. Mambukal Mountain Resort

Visited February 2009. Roughly 30-45 minutes south of Bacolod City. It’s a good idea to rent out transportation for the day, leave early in the morning for Mambukal, and then come back in the afternoon/evening. We rented out a jeepney for roughly 2,000 pesos and brought some food to cook. There’s quite a bit to do here at Mambukal, all on cash basis, with relatively low fees. Per the website: Hotel Rooms, Water Falls, Swimming Pools, Function Hall, Therapeutic Warm Dipping Pool, Picnic Huts, Overnight Cottages, Food Court, Bat Watching, Boating, Wall Climbing, Slide for Life, Canopy Walk, and Camping Ground. First we rented one of the picnic huts and started cooking. After we ate, we checked out the water fall, swimming pool, therapeutic warm dipping pool, boating lagoon and bat watching ….Picnic Huts – Nice views with a stand to grill and a sink wash your hands. The water comes directly from the falls.Water Fall – I’d say about it’s about a 30 minute hike to the first waterfall, over uneven ground and a single pipe railing to hold on to. Certainly a workout, I wouldn’t recommend this to the less-adventurous. There are a total of 6 or 7 waterfalls you can hike to, each one a less safe hike than the one before. You should at least hike to the first waterfall, it will be worth the trip. Bat Watching – You can see the bats hanging down from the tall trees in the distance from just about anywhere on the resort. They have specific ‘bat watching’ signs though, on the route to the first waterfall. Boating – You can rent a kayak for 30 minutes to an hour, good for 5 or 6 people per kayak. Life vests and two paddles are provided. Nice lagoon, lots of fun and good exercise. Swimming Pool – Cool water, large pool area. Like any other swimming pool except that this water is from the falls!Therapeutic Warm Dipping Pool – Like a hot shower on a cold day, but in ‘pool’ form. If you’re not used to the hot water just give your body time to adjust and sink lower and lower …. The resort was lots of fun, don’t forget the suntan lotion. Easily took up a whole day. A must visit if you are in Negros!

Everytime I want to feel a touch of mountains, greens and get closer to nature then one of my options is Mambukal Resort. They also have hot springs, regular swimming pool, cottages for picnics, kayaking, scenics views and the well known 7 falls. I love going here from time to time.

A must to wake up early to enjoy the sandbar in the early morning and the rising of the sun. Then the dollhin watching will be after taking a picture of the 6km sandbar. You can also enjoy lunch while docking in the waters once the water rises. It is one of the best places to go to.
