An ultimate tropical escape!

#traveldiaries #100waysoftravel Crystal Cove Island Resort is a popular stop-off point for island-hoppers, offering a wide range of activities, such as trekking and cave exploration, sunbathing and snorkelling, pigeon feeding and sea kayaking. The well-preserved natural environment and resort also houses a museum and an aviary as alternatives to the beach. Though the resort's 2 coves are the main draw, the area does offer picturesque views – perfect for picnics and relaxing – as well as caves for the adventurous to explore. Getting to Crystal Cove Island: Getting to the island requires a boat ride from either Boracay or Caticlan. As the boats, or bangka , are much less frequent from Caticlan Port, most visitors from Caticlan make the journey to Boracay first, before heading to the island. Boats leave from Cagban and Tambisaan ports regularly, usually as part of island-hopping packages. Shop around for the best deal to suit your needs. Best time to visit: Travelers can visit the island and the resort all year round. It is open from 8 AM to 4 PM every day. The best time to go here is between March to early June when the weather is sunny, and there is only a small chance of rain. However, expect large crowds during these summer months since locals and visitors alike tend to drop by for the summer holidays as well. If you prefer a cooler atmosphere, visiting from November to February is also a great time to travel here.
