With the Philippines being an archipelago nation, it is gifted with beautiful beaches from all edges of its islands. Some are for relaxing, some are for picturesque nature trips, and others are for the thrill of surfing
Such is the case the town of Guiuan located in Calocoan Island in East Samar. The island is blessed to be in the direct path of the Pacific Ocean, creating waves for surfers of various skill levels all year round, and The Surf Camp has been the premiere destination for those who want surfing, and a little bit more.
Here are some photos of the surf camp resort.
Tropical Haven
Upon arriving, the place just feels special from the rest of the places in the area. It is quite luxurious even if it does need a bit of upkeep in some isolated areas. The structures are inspired by Thai, Filipino and Balinese accents. The lobby doubles as the restaurant, with dark wood and intricate weaving surrounding you. Traditional to Filipino hospitality, welcome drinks and tokens are given upon your arrival, regardless if you find yourself here in the peak or lean season.
The hotel accommodation are all villas, again inspired by the Southeast Asian in design. It very spacious inside. If with a little bit of snuggling, six people can fit and live comfortably in the rooms.
Food
The Surf Camp will offer some conventional surf and turf, but look more into the surfs. Being in a fishing village, The Surf Camp offers some of the freshest seafood anywhere. Everything is freshly caught, even tuna and marlin. Just simple olive oil, salt and pepper is enough to enhance the fish. Freshness like this is best experienced with the barest of flavoring.
