It used to be a private beach (island), but now it's open to the public.

yupOriginally Posted by oychie
It's a nice cozy, private beach. It's not like Boracay (with its "party" atmosphere).
we went to lakawon last week. ok naman *** place wag lang masyadong maselan. the accomodations are very spartan and generator-powered *** island kaya electric power is only from 5pm-8am.
the beach is so nice. ang sarap mag-relax at di masyadong matao kaya ok talaga if you want a quiet place to rest.
un nga lang...pricey ang food! bawiin n lang sa ganda ng beach! hehehe
^ I'm glad you liked it.I was able to go there when the island didn't even have a toilet (at least none that I remember seeing). But that's the appeal of Lakawon.

share ko lang yung mga nice things sa Bacolod:
MANOKAN at *** carinderia atmosphere ang sarap din!![]()
KUPPA. its a new coffee shop. very affordable, nice interiors, cozy place to hang out, and numerous choices![]()
CALEA pastry/coffee shop near L'Fisher Hotel (im not sure), open until 11pm and they also have a branch at Robinson's Iloilo. Grabe naman talaga ang sarap ng cakes nila! Sarap isabay sa tea! hay! Feels heaven talaga! When I saw all the cakes...i literally drooled over it! hehehe and when I heard the price...aba! parang gusto kong mag-jumping jack sa tuwa! hehehe![]()
Sa Cafe Bob's naman may sugar free cakes and pies kung diabetic ka![]()

Kain ka sa Aboy's. Malapit sa airport. Sarap pinoy food. Try mo yung Squid Ink. Bawal yata sa high blood. Hehe.
And if you're going to other locations, you may want to check http://hungrytravelers.blogspot.com for dining ideas.

hmmm, san pa ba sa MAMBUCAL - 1 to 1.5 hrs ang byahe papunta dun.
sa PALMAS DEL MAR - though i never liked the place, pwede na rin kung gusto mo watch ng sunset. hehe

on the contrary 22mai ok naman ang palmas del mar ngayon. nag renovate sila and it looks really pretty na.![]()
any suggestions for affordable and nice accomodation for 7 people?
The road to Lakawon from Bacolod proper is bumpy. The road is not paved. During low tides, you have to walk thru a long narrow rocky path to reach the bangkas or the shore if you're coming from Lakawon.
These aside, the place is worth it.
