Paras Beach Resort - Camiguin Island

	Paras Beach Resort is just a short ride from the capital town of Mambajao and a three minute boat ride away from the crystal clear blue waters and white sand beaches of the famous white island. Originally built as a private beach house of the Paras family, Paras Beach Resort has become a landmark of comfort and convenience in the island paradise of Camiguin. Since its opening in March of 1995, Paras Beach Resort has catered to both local and foreign tourists. Private companies and Government agencies also patronize the resort for their out of town seminars and conferences.
	Same as with every other resort where we stay, we go after the best rooms Paras Beach Resort offers. Paras Beach Resort has 1 deluxe cottage situated poolside with cable TV, telephone, refrigerator, 2 private bedrooms with 2 private toilets and baths, 4 additional bunk beds, fully air-conditioned (good for 2 couples) 1 standard cottage, slightly smaller than the deluxe cottage with no bunk beds, also situated poolside with the same amenities of cable TV, telephone, refrigerator, 2 private bedrooms with 2 private toilets and baths, fully air-conditioned (also good for 2 couples) 1 family suite room that is air-conditioned with hot & cold shower, cable TV, telephone, refrigerator and 2 queen sized beds (good for 1 couple) 2 standard suite rooms that are air conditioned with hot & cold shower, cable TV, telephone, refrigerator, 1 queen size bed and 1 single bed (each room good for 1 couple) 10 family rooms that are 2 level and are air-conditioned with hot & cold shower, cable TV, telephone, 2 queen size beds (one in the loft and one downstairs) and 1 sofa bed. (good for one couple each)
	Our priority in reserving the rooms is top to bottom on the list above. Most of the time we are able to get all cottages and suites but sometimes, advance bookings limit our ability to get the cottages and suites and we have to fall back on the family rooms. Regardless of the rooms we are able to get, they are all very nice and more than adequately outfitted.
	Paras Beach Resort is fully equipped for numerous social and recreational activities including billiards, darts and a fully stocked poolside bar. In addition to this, Paras Beach Resort has their own outrigger boats and dive center that service and outfits our island hopping and snorkeling adventures as well as jet ski and power boat rentals and para-sailing. Our tour activities do not include the jet ski, power boat or para-sailing options but you are free to utilize these resources as your budget, and nerve allows.
	The resort really has no beach front, instead having a seawall, although there is a small black sand section of beach (due to the volcanoes on the island) accessible in the cove where the boats are moored. There is good snorkeling right at the immediate shoreline, without traveling out to White Island or to the sunken cemetery.
	The restaurant at Paras Beach Resort has a very diverse menu of native and international dishes and deserts and is situated adjacent to the pool and beach with open walls that lend a nice view while dining.
	Aside from having absolutely prime location on this island, I especially like all of the "chill-out" spots Paras has created at their resort including the huge gazebo on stilts. All-in-all, this is another very nice Filipino resort and we hare happy to be able to use their resort on our tours.
