The best place to visit for escaping the stress cause by the Covid-19 pandemic.
Floating
cottages are not a new idea in terms in making a beach resort stand out among
others. But you can’t find anywhere else in the Philippines a huge concentration
of it, in a single area.
With
covid-19 pandemic still recking havoc the country, people are now eagerly to
travel, so that they can at least escape the stress brought by this current
situation. On the other hand, the
Philippine government were still cautious to allow any large gathering in one
place, which by the way, a trip to a beach will one of those.
A small town in the Province of Agusan del Norte, the Municipality of Carmen, where a number of resort owners shows some ingenuity to at least attract a number of visitors, both from nearby town and city.
Instead of a traditional cottage in
the shore, they take it to the next level, by making floating cottages.
These floating cottages are being anchored in the deep part of the sea, but if no one is using it, you can find it in the shallow part.
But there’s always an
allowed number of people to be on it.
The rate of these floating cottages depends on the owner of it, it ranges from 500-1000/ hour with limited of number of people to used it.
Of course, if the number of
people to used it exceeds, then an additional (per person basis) payment is
implemented. Night rates are much higher than Day rates, by the way.
Life
jackets will be provided as a safety measures and a life guard that where
constantly on a look out if something worse to happen.
How to reach these floating cottages?
Almost all
the costal barangay of Municipality of Carmen, probably already have floating
cottages available. You can just inquire any carmenanons you can encounter in
the road, and ask them about those things.
Be sure
that, you must observe the health protocols being implemented by the resort and
to also the local government.
Some of the resort will cook a food for you, but with a cost, of course. And the Carmen Public Market is a great place to look for fresh meat, fish and vegetables and fruits.
My advice is that, bring your own food, in that case you are certain
what you’re eating.
Since, rainy
season is already here, there’s always a chance of rain which could turn the sea
murky. The ideal time to visit these floating cottages is when the sun is up,
where crystal clear water and fresh breeze will be appreciated.
So, you
might think now that this is a promotion, Yes, this is promotion, I lived on
this town. But everything found on this post are true. So, what are you waiting
now? book your reservation immediately.
