TIPS
#1: Book your stay ahead of time. Since the resort follows a 'first come, first serve' basis, there are no guarantees for walk-in guests. It is best to send your inquiries and bookings through email in advance. This way, the management may also have your boat transfers arranged.
#2: It is best to go from December to May. During these months, small gentle waves are formed which keeps the white color of the sand more evident. This is caused by the Amihan season or Northeast monsoon.
#3: Stay longer if you can. There are numerous activities you can do and trying them all is worth the stay. An overnight stay is not enough to experience all that they have to offer, you'd wish you could have stayed longer.
#4: Bring your own food or buy ingredients from Bagac Public Market. The management says that there is a restaurant and bar coming soon, but as of the moment, it is advisable to bring your own. You may rent portable grillers available at their shop or use their open-type kitchen and grill area. Otherwise, they have set meals and boodle fights available, but you have to inform them in advance for this.
