San Pedro Beach Resort

Top choice in Western Visayas


A getaway from the 'big city' (Romblon Town), this resort refuge is set on Talipasak beach in Ginablan, about 10km south of town. From the spotless bamboo cottages you can peer through the jungle canopy to the beach below, where there is good snorkelling at high tide.

It has an affordable restaurant serving breakfast and lunch (order dinner in advance), as well as a library of discarded books to help you while away your days. From town, a tricycle to the resort costs around P150. It's tough to find on your own – you’ll need good directions.
