Sumilon Adventure Part 2: Embracing the Charm That is Sumilon!




Before you proceed reading this entry, grab your backpack and click on PART 1 of our Sumilon Adventure! But if you have read Part 1 of our Sumilon Adventure, then join Doyzkie the Explorer as we discover the wonders of what Sumilon Island has to offer!


Our 15 minute pumpboat ride just ended and as we disembark the boat, we were greeted by Sumilon Bluewater Island Resort Staff. It was still gloomy and no sign of Mr. Golden Sun but was still looking forward to all the activities we can do on the island. We then walked our way up to a the Island Pavilion, the resort restaurant, to grab some munchees before we start going around the island.


We munched on a Tuna sandwhich and fries for our mawnin snacks! Yum!


After eating our sumptuous tuna sandwhich, we checked out the room and the facilities of the Island Resort. Sumilon Bluewater Island resort has 14(fourteen) 48sqm rooms which can accomodate 3 guests per room.




Room features a private veranda with lounge chairs, Private toilet and hot and cold shower, mini bar, ceiling fan, WiFi Connection, telephone and airconditioning.

After checking out the comfy rooms, we headed back to The Island Pavilion for lunch. Island Pavilion serves a delectable fair of local and international cuisine. We were delighted with a lunch buffet!









After our hefty lunch, Atty. Ethelbert, McBilly and I went to Aquamania to get our snorkel gear and life vest. We then started snorkling and saw some corals and fishes but gave up after 20minutes because waves were big and strong.




We then went to the Lagoon teeming with high mangroves to kayak!


After we took pictures on the mangrove, we then shifted to swimming in the infinity pool and relaxed at the Jacuzzi!


Surrounding the infinity pool are stairs heading down to a "chill cliff" where you can just sit down and enjoy the beautiful sea view and fresh air.


Want a glass of margarita ora shot of tequlia? Order some refreshments and drinks at the bar beside the Island Pavillion.

Chill chairs under the green shades of island trees are perfect when your reading a book, playing favorite games on psp or nintendo ds or even checking your facebook account with the resort's Wifi connection.
We then went to sand bar, where we spent most of the afternoon enjoying the big waves and the strong winds!





Sumilon sand bar changes shapes and shifts locations around the island depending on the season.


Since the wind was strong and waves were getting bigger due to tropical depression, we headed back to the infinity pool and enjoyed the last few hours of our day tour swimming.

It was 5pm and its time to pack up. But before leaving the island, we had carbonara and tea for our afternoon snacks! Then as I packed my wet boxer (which Wil used because she did not bring swimming clothes) and my boardshorts in my yellow SM plastic Bag, I swore I'd be back!

As Doyzkie and Friends embarked the pumpboat bringing us back to Oslob, I took this pic of a Korean couple having fun and enjoying the beautiful scenery of Sumilon Island! Aneyong hasseyo!
Maybe next time when Doyzkie the explorer and friends visit Sumilon we would go diving? What do you think? hehe
