--HOW TO GET TO SIPALAY--
Take the direct bus from Bacolod (about 5 hours) to Sipalay town. Or a minivan (p350). Minivan is a bit faster than the big bus, but since it might take a longer time to leave and you’re more cramped inside, I am not sure what the best option would be. I like the big bus better ;)
From Dumaguete: take a bus to Bayawan, Hinoba-an. It will cost you 6 to 7 hours. It will cost you just over 200 pesos with public transport (p120 + p75 + p35). If you hire a van it would be 5000 in total, which is not worth it if you are a solo traveler like me ;)
If you stay in Dauin, no need to go to the busstop in town. It’ll pass by the resort. Unless you want to be certain to be seated ;)
And it might seem complicated (as a foreigner) to go from bus to bus, but people are very helpful along the way and if you leave one bus, the next one will be already there! No worries. It’s just a day you lose on traveling. But it’s worth it ;)
--WHAT TO SEE IN SIPALAY--
I did two tours.
► One was to Danjugan island (next video).
► The other tour was a tour to the highlights of the main land.
p1000 for half a day or p1500 for a day trip. It’s a trycicle trip, so again, make friends and you’ll split the costs.
You need to pay entrance fees along the way (from 30 pesos to 80 pesos according to the place) and lunch is not included.
What I saw was 2 resorts (including perth resort, with the infinity pool) – the cave which is really cool! (100 pesos for the guide with light, I gave him 150 since it was quite a hike).
You can arrange this tour with Roland Dequina – rolandtours.wordpress.com or 09489358749
Tell him you found him through this video! Not because he’ll charge a fee for me ;) Just because it’s nice to know how people find out about you And I am curious for that as well!
I believe you can also get into a kano, more island hopping, archery…. There is a whole lot more to explore but I’ll leave that to you!
--WHERE TO SLEEP IN SIPALAY--
I would highly recommend Takatuka Lodge! Love the place! Inspired on Pippi Longstocking’s tale, with a lot of weird rooms all over the place. Different themes like the cave room, superstar, rockadilly, a castle… you name it ;) It’s seriously the best hotel I’ve been in in the Philippines (and I have been to a lot I love ;) – It’s so funky and unique, the owners and staff are friendly and helpful, the food is great, they attract friendly guests, the beach is just there. AMAZING! Seriously. Go here. GO! What are you waiting for? ;)

--WHERE TO EAT IN SIPALAY--
Because I stayed on Sugar Beach, there’s not much options to get out for dinner. You can’t just leave and get back after dark I stayed at Takatuka mainly for food, and it’s good! Not cheap but a whole lot of variety, and great healthy stuff.

NEGROS OCCIDENTAL: TRIP TO BACOLOD + SIPALAY 2017 | WHERE AVA TRAVELS
Ohh, the city of smiles! You got me head over heels in love with you! The floating tawhai was unforgettable. I felt that I can just lay down and sleep my worries away~ Perth Paradise, you. You are the BOMB! I never thought that there's a place we can stay that's worth of a king's ransom view for a very cheap price! Tinagong Island, you're a gem. Our tour guide, Kuya Manuel, told us that the owner of this resort bought this island for only 160,000php during the 80's! Crazy!! Now it's worth millions!! But hey, this gem for me is priceless.

LAKAWON TRAVEL GUIDE 2019 | Under 1K Budget |Watch in HD
I took the earliest flight to Bacolod from Clark International Airport at 6am.I arrived at the new Bacolod-Silay Airport around 7am then I walked outside the airport to hail a trike (60php whole trike good for 6 pax) goin to Silay plaza where we are going to ride a bus bound for Cadiz, then I told the conductor that im alighting at brgy.Burgos stop-over terminal. There, you would see yellow tricycles, find the one bound for Cadiz Viejo(150php special trip).
After around 15minutes, you will arrive at cadiz Viejo port.
You will see a small office where tourist are in queue for registration and payment of:
entrance fee 180
boat ride 150
terminal fee 120
you may or may not get a reloadable cash card for cashless transactions at the Island resort.But i think there is corkage fee if youre goin to bring your own food.
After securing your payments, you will be issued a boarding pass, then just wait for your name or group name to be flashed on the screen or be called by the staff when the boat have arrived.
It was rougly 15 to 20mins, of sailing to cross the sea goin to the island. during my trip, the waves are huge, theres a few which made me anxious wondering if our not so maintained boat will make it through the rough waves.Praise God we made it.
Upon reaching the port, you will have to walk to a wood bridge which will give you a good view of Lakawon itself. It was relaxing as the breeze welcomes you.
The prices of food are tolerable, it's not cheap but considering the serving size, its just right. I like it that they have many food options to choose from (well atleast during my stay). they have a different counter for fresh seafoods and a separate drinking bar which is cool!
TawHai (means relaxed in local dialect) is the name of their floating bar which is the biggest in Asia.
For 285 pesos, you may enjoy the spectacular view while drinking your fave beer in the middle of the ocean,given that you have signed a waiver.
I wasn't able to visit it personally due to my limited time since I have to travel back to Bacolod city to check in to my next Airbnb accommodation, also, the waves are a lil rough and its showering and its not that inviting to spend 285 php for that especially I dont drink(anymore).
The only set back for me was the price of accommodation, it was so expensive for the type of the rooms they offer. I have contacted them to inquire for a tent rental,but it was discontinued however they allow tourist to bring their own camping tents but you have to pay 300 pesos PER PERSON for the tent space. ( It was off season yet it was pricey
So I opted to book a beautiful accommodation in Bacolod city which only cost me 20 USD.
