Been there, beautiful place, better than over-priced over-rated over-hyped Boracay, Mindanao has some fantastic beaches :xxgrinning--00xx3:

I've never been, but coincidently met some family members at our reunion weekend who have a beach resort there.
For sure we'll make a visit when we can.
Sounds just wonderful :xxgrinning--00xx3:

My Pinay has been here several times and she doesn't rate it too highly. Samal Island ranks higher in her eyes.

Samal island is beautiful, but I enjoyed Talikud. If you ever go to Samal make sure to visit the bats.

Is Kiamba nicer than Glan?

Haven't got a clue to be honest. I am not a person who can fly halfway around the world to spend time on a beach unless it's for snorkelling or diving or fishing. :smile: The best beaches I saw in the PI were on the Sulu archipelago because they were pristine due to the lack of any form of tourism :smile:

Just spoke to my kid's grandmother, she said Kiamba has a great beach resort, its a marine sanctuary called Tuka beach owned by Manny Pacquiao. There's no road going there, but you get a boat from Kiamba. She also said Glan is ok, lots of facilities. My kid's grandmother has owned a beach resort all her life, she knows the score :wink:

Sounds like a similar set up to Sugar Beach in Sipalay. Secluded beach that needs a boat to get to. Ever been there, Tawi? It's in Negros Occ. and there's scuba diving in the area too. Punto Gallo I think its called.

Been all over Negros from top to bottom, both sides,many times, but like I said, I ain't a beach person. If I want to dive there's a British friend who is a dive master living in the southernmost tip at Basac.
