Day 2
5:31 PM
We spent our first morning in Iloilo by traveling to Santo Tomas de Villanueva Church in Miag-ao, Iloilo. This is most commonly called as the Miag-ao Church which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. So this is a MUST-SEE. Read more about it here. Afterwards, we traveled to the island of Guimaras.We arrived at Jordan (read as Hordan) wharf and rode a jeep to get to Crossing Alubihod. Fare is P25.00 and the travel is approximately one hour including stopovers and several minutes of waiting. You will see a signboard saying “Welcome to Sitio Alubihod” which is a
cross a gasoline station. Go down here and ride a tricycle (fare is P20.00) to get to Raymen Beach Resort. If you want to lessen the travel time, we suggest you ride the tricycle. This, however, requires you to pay P200.00 but the driver will bring you directly to the resort.Once in Raymen Beach Resort, pay P10.00 for the entrance fee. Room rates are as follows: P600.00 – fan room with CR, P1,100.00 or P1,300.00 (beach front) – airconditioned rooms with CR.
The resort has several amenities such as a canteen, a souvenir shop (but with few items only), some sari-sari stores, a conference room, and billiard tables. Room service, however, has an extra charge. The resort also offers an island tour to cater small as well as big groups and snorkeling and diving equipments for use in the tour. You can also visit Rico beach since it lies next to Raymen. | ~ Realization ~ Tap water is not potable and has a certain taste. Even while brushing your teeth you can taste it. So it is better if you buy bottled or mineral water for drinking. |
~ Suggestion ~ You could also visit other neighboring resorts to compare different amenities and rates. |  |
