Badian Island Resort and Spa | A Paradise Resort

Badian Island Resort and Spa | A Paradise Resort


             My father was invited by his co-employee to have some summer escapade in an island that only known by few people. And since I’m such an explorer by heart, I did convince my father to go but of course together with the whole family, so I’m in. Before weekend comes I felt so tired because of some office tasks that I needed to fixed though still, I can’t get off my head the island that me and my family will be spending  the weekends. Then Saturday came and my father informed us that the place well be going was Badian Island, located on the southwest coast of Cebu. Since Badian was more than a couple of hour ride we did wake up earlier, like 4:00AM to catch the 5:00AM bus and get on the place  early so that we can get to explore the island longer.


             The moment we arrived on the island, I didn’t waste any time and get my exploration begin. I happened to get the information that its name was Badian Island Resort and Spa, the resort was built to provide employment to local residents around Badian Island and to help boost tourism in the Philippines.

The luxurious hotel resort situated on a private beach in Badian. Breakfast is included in the room rates and served daily. Children 3 years old and below were free of charge sharing existing bedding. Check-in time is 2:00PM and checkout time is 12:00 noon.

             It was a jaw-dropping experience witnessing such a great game and crazy audience in which you’ll be mistaken that they’re watching a fight of our #Pinoy Pride Boxer, we may not have won as the champion but I believe that #eSports in #Philippines is one step closer on becoming a mainstream. Congratulations to #MVP.Phoenix of Korea, though I’m still proud with our second(#MSI-EvotGT) and third(#Arcanys) place finish, sorry for being bias ^_~. Thank you to Chairman #Brian Lim, for making this event possible and for the tremendous success of #eSports Festival 2014. I have learned that it was our third year and it was awesomely great realizing how far it has come...!!!
