After hearing this from a friend .. I checked out this island and was already caught by it’s beauty. We decided to stay at Armada Resort and booked our stay for 3 days 2 nights.The booking process was quite easy. They only require a thousand deposit to reserve. We went there by a car and it was quite easy but commuting there shouldn’t be a problem as well. Directions are indicated in their website.
We finally arrived in our destination and the port or place where they are going to pick us up to the island wasn’t that impressive but according to the owners they are working on improving or moving the pick up station to a different location.
On our way to the island and seeing it closer and closer, I cannot stop myself from getting more excited. We were greeted with a smile by the staff of Armada Resort and felt very welcomed already. Since meals are included in their prices we went straight to the dining area and enjoyed our meals. They prepare local dishes and mostly seafoods which I prefer a lot! But im sure you can make special requests and pay extra if you are a bit picky with food.
We rented a beach front air conditioned room for 3500/night. The accommodation was basic but everything you need is there so I’m Happy! Magalawa Island is indeed a paradise, an unspoiled paradise! It’s something you have to see for yourself.
Armada is also a place of total relaxation. Electricity is very limited, its only available at night time. But I also feel it’s a good thing because you get to bond with your friends and love ones more. I also enjoy our afternoon nap after a nice meal, all you have to do is to occupy one of their huts and nap. The swim and snorkeling in the island is also very good and a must try. They have a floating raft where you can eat lunch and will take you to a snorkeling spot. That to me was very special!
It’s also nice to walk around the island and meet some of the locals and enjoy the scenery as there is so much to see and to appreciate more the beauty of Magalawa Island. The people and staff of Armada Resort were very kind and humble to us. They treated us so well during our entire stay and we felt very special all the time.
If you are looking for a place of relaxation and a paradise island, this is the right place for you!
