Gemma is a Grade four teacher from Quezon City and Santos is from Banaue Rice Terraces, where he works crafting wood. They were fascinated with the beauty of isla, and here is what they said about their stay with us:
We have been to many places in the Philippines. We were, in fact, on the way to Romblon when we learned at the pier that the ship / ferry trip had been cancelled (due to typhoon).
It was serendipity that brought us to Isla Verde Tropical friendly Resort. And we thank the universe for that!
Since the Philippines has so many great spots for nature lovers to go to, we do not tend to go back to a place we've already visited. But we feel that Isla Verde is a place we can go back to time and again.
It's not just the homey, artful and lovely resort, friendly and helpful staff who made us feel at home (to the point of inviting us to a birthday party in the community!), or even the wonderful underwater world that was revealed to us just a few meters away from shore... The whole island is full of possibilities!
Thank you to Dieter and Hikaru (who first welcomed us), Marvin and Heartwell (who helped tour us around), Cora and Jaja( who take care of, and beautify the resort), and of course, Tita Jo.
Your shared stories are part of the reason will come back.
