Dakak Experience

Sa totoo lang, whenever I hear Dakak – I can’t help but remember Jaloshos as well.

But more than the scandal that happened in this resort few years back, being in Dakak is sure is a relaxing vacation – bakit ko ba dinidikit yun, nah. Walang maisip na intro wehe.

We left for the airport around 9:00am, sa wakas three days break from office work and all, to refresh and reflect. After boarding for Dipolog, I can’t remember much about the flight. Medyo nagising lang ako nung nagpa-games yung mga flight attendant ng Cebu Pacific where you can win ID laces. They also have on-board snacks (sandwiches, chips, cola and beer –for PHP100.00 hehe) and even souvenirs (shades, ID laces, plane model, etc). Nung tumahimik, nakatulog lang din ako ulit, around 45mins ang flight. After nung flight meron pa ulit mga 45mins na byahe, konting kwento kwento sa mga kasama – tulog na naman ako. Geez…

Pagkatapos ng byahe, narating din naming ang reception area! Wou! Sa Wakas, ganito ang view sa Reception hall nila, fired up kaagad ang mga SLR Cameras! With tripod and lenses and the works! Nahiya ang camera ng phone ko! Nah niweys ang ganda rin ng view.

Reception – Parang view sa Park

After some chit chat with at the reception and welcome drinks, Dinala na kami sa resort proper. At last lunch, nakakagutom din pala ang byahe. Aliw lang dahil ang buffet area ay nasa tapat mismo ng beach.

Lunch by the beach – Nakakagana

Hehe, luwagan muna ang diet restraints – vacation naman to eh :D

Matapos lang makahinga after the heavy lunch, picture na ulit sa bagong environment. Hindi nakakasawa ang greens ng lugar, kahit papunta sa kwarto, presko ang paligid.

Mabs and Benj – Dynamic Duo


Beach sa Tanghali – Mainit

Dakak Greens – Berdeng Hindi Nakakasawa

Pati ang kwarto – Native ang dating! Probinsyang-probinsya! Teka, probinsya nga ito dibs? Niweys.


Kwarto – Pagtalunan kung sino ang mahihiga saan.

As usual wala akong pictures habang naliligo – nothing to see there anyways. Comparing to Boracay, Dakak’s strong point is the fact na mas konti ang tao dito, yun lang wala ring night life sa Dakak – talagang pang relax sya, tahimik na ang paligid by 10:00 or 11:00pm, highlight na sa gabi ang kanilang cultural show -- spicing up the dinner besides the beach area.


Dinner by the Beach – Serene

Meron din silang bar, Sing-Along ang diskarte! woh!


Sing Along -- Mabenta

Ang dami ko na palang picture na nailagay ah…
Niweys, comes Day 2.

Sa umaga, as you can expect – Dakak have a peaceful Morning beach

Dakak Beach in the Morning – Peaceful

After the hefty breakfast we prepared for the “City Tour” visiting Dapitan there we get to see a replica of Rizal’s Clinic, Kitchen and Environment – hindi talaga sya City Tour kung tutuusin kasi wala naman kami sa city proper.

Further through the day, and I guess the highlight of it is the Sunset Cruise. Its an hour long Cruise via Bangka. On that same moment I get to realize the undeniable gap between an N73 3.2 MP Camera and a Nikon 10 MP SLR Camera. Makes you want one of those shutters. Haaay….

Sunset Catchers – Annoying


Nikon SLR Camera -- Wow...

On our last night we enjoyed the swimming and an ample amount of sleep. Geez! Ang sarap (especially the sleep part), when you get to have something you really get to treasure it. I myself enjoyed the whole vacation, revitalizing and gets you’re spirit really high so high you can get to see a good view of the new horizon one is traversing.

All is so peaceful and the night sleep is sound –kinabukasan pasok na ulit!
Yehe! Yung lang :D Which brings us to our next article...
