It is best known for its wide expanse of white sand embraced by a boundless blanket of water.

Our stay at Caylabne Bay Resort is a great experience for us because not only did we have the time to relax and enjoy, we also had the opportunity to meet people from the resort industry. By sharing their experiences, thoughts and opinions to us, we learned things that we cannot just learn inside the classroom. We were treated well by the staffs and they were all very accommodating. Unfortunately, the itinerary was not strictly followed. It all started when we arrived at the resort later than we expected. There has been a miscommunication between the marketing manager of the resort and our facilitator. The snacks that we were expecting to have weren’t provided. And some of our classmates have not experienced the sunset cruise. But even though the itinerary was not exactly followed, the important activities such as the seminar and open forum still pushed through and that’s the most important thing. The ambiance in Caylabne Bay Resort was really nice. The lush tress, green grass and the clear blue sea make the resort a great place to be close to nature and unwind. The design of the villas makes you feel like you’re in another country because of its Spanish Mediterranean theme. As a resort that was once owned by the Marcoses, it’s no wonder why the area was carefully planned and developed. The resort property is really big in terms of land are and there are still a lot of unused properties in the area which the developers could develop. Having a good marketing strategy, it wouldn’t be a surprise if this resort becomes the number resort in Luzon. The staffs of the resort also believe in this too because according to Mr. Miguel Manuel, he sees Caylabne Bay Resort as a tourism establishment that will flourish in the future.
