Note that there are a lot of Pension House near the Sipalay Terminal ranging from PHP 300.00-PHP 500.00 per person.

Day Tour at Perth Paradise Resort

To tell you honestly, the infinity pool in the resort is a bit small. If you check on the photos circulating on social media, there’s only one side of the photo. Hence, a day tour in Perth Paradise Resort is enough to satisfy your travel needs. Also, there’s no phone reception in the area and the wifi is only exclusive for checked-in guests.

The day tour rate is PHP80.00 only but if you’ll swim in the infinity pool the rate per person is PHP100.00. There’s a restaurant upon entering the resort where you can eat your lunch or breakfast for a day tour. Other picturesque spots includes the floating cottage, the view on the roof top and the infinity pool with the islets for a view.

Overnight Accommodations

I’ve mentioned above that the size of the infinity pool in the resort is a bit small, but not to worry! There are other things you can do in the resort if you have a lot of time on your vacation like island hopping or land travel.
