Pissword,

I'm sure you will enjoy Small Lalaguna's Club Mabuhay more than White beach. They have 2 swimming pools, big bar and resto and lots of foreign guests. White beach kasi masyado madami tao unless iyon ang pinunta mo...to check out chix. Hehehe
Mas maganda talaga sand sa Big Lalaguna pero ok din naman sa Small. You can swim there and you can go snorkeling. Sa white beach eh swimming, sand frolicking and local chick hunting. Kasi sa Big and Small eh pang foreigners. Hehehe
Ive been and stayed at White beach, Muelle, Bukete, Sabang, Big and Small Lalaguna...but for me...the Lalaguna coves are the best. No doubt about it. Take my word for it.

The beach front width of Small Lalaguna is quite long and stretches from the stairway rock formation to as far as sabang. The depth of the beach front is quite narrow around +/- 20 meters only depends on the tide. Snorkeling spots are best in Big Lalaguna--10 min walk from Small Lalaguna's Club Mabuhay. You can also go snorkeling in Small Lalaguna but the corals there are dead na.

That's okay to do(no reservation) during off-peak season. I've been there for three times without any reservations. The first two was pretty easy as it was off-peak. The third was a little hard as that was in early May, so before I went there last week, I asked around, and found out that there's a lot of bakasyonistas(see the picture I posted) at about this time of the year(I guess galera, white beach in particular, is starting to be a very popular summer destination). Two of my co-workers stayed in a residential area, no air-con, no t.v. for failing to make a reservation (I didn't want to experience that). If your planning to go there within the month, you better try to text/call the no. I posted, they don't charge you anything( I think the resort gives them some commission). Another option, leave Manila at about 2 am, you'll arrive there around 6am and there will be more rooms available. BTW, if you're okay with the residential area then of course you can do it the traditional way, no reservations necessary. Hope you enjoy your vacation.

guys, accdg. to the girl who put a tatoo on us, she said, accommodations are cheaper on weekdays (M-thurs) ... so why not spend it there instead of weekends? just a suggestion ... LOL

**pissword** · April 9th, 2005 11:37 PM

sir Blackprince kasi may mga trabaho ang mga tao ng weekdays.. kaya nga maraming tao pag weekend eh

Sa big and small lalaguna what is the beach coral rocks or sand or combination? kasi kung coral sugat ang paa mo at you need to invest in coral boots to swim there.
