Stokedtraveler has featured Camayan Beach Resort a
number of times now. Lately however, he hasn’t booked a stay in that resort.
For one, the booking rates have gone absurdly high. An overnight stay for 2
during their peak months goes as high as Php 7,700.00. Extra person charge of
Php 1,000.00/head to a max of 3 adults per room. Just imagine how much that
would add up for an extended family beach outing. Recent talks with some locals
also revealed that an armed eviction of the previous employees also happened
when the new owner/management decided to forcibly take over. Looks like new
management have their own idea of what Camayan Beach Resort will be in the
future. Whatever it will be, with the absurd rates they currently have, Camayan
Beach Resort will not be in the stokedtraveler’s beach destinations for now.
This is where All Hands Beach Resort comes in. The first time we
stayed here was on a Labor Day weekend. The place was jam-packed and there was
even an ongoing company outing that booked the venue. The venue wasn’t very
pleasing and the beach itself looked like it could use some rest of its own.
This year, we went on a Holy Tuesday (Holy Week), the place
looked so much nicer and the beach so much cleaner. In fact, it reminded of
Camayan Beach Resort minus the budget busting rates.
