CoCo Beach Resort in Puerto Galera, near Manila tourist spot

Puerto Galera would be the best choice if you don't have much time in Manila. Unlike going to Cebu or Boracay, trip to Puerto Galera is fairly simple. one bus ride from Manila to Batangas pier and another boat ride to Puerto Galera. No need to book your flight or accommodation. White Beach and Sabang Beach are the most popular destinations when it comes to Puerto Galera. These two places are always packed with people doing scuba diving and drinking. If you want to just relax and do nothing, Coco Beach would be your number one consideration. 

Coco Beach Resort is still a part of Puerto Galera but it is a private resort, exclusive for its own customers; no is no one bugging you for the night activities and hopping tours. 

If you are not familiar with bus rides in Manila, you can ask Coco Beach front desk to add shuttle bus service to your budget. The shuttle leaves at Diamond hotel at 6.30 in the morning everyday. Once you arrive at Batangas Pire, you will transfer to a bangca, outrigger canoe, also arranged by Resort. One way ride to CoCo Beach Resort, including shuttle and bangca, is 800 peso per person. 

Consider that the rainy season start from late May and lasts until mid October. Everyone wants to have this sky for the vacation but not everyone checks the weather report.  Finally, it's Coco Beach Resort.

The gigantic size of this private resort is impressive.

 The resort offers 101 activities to its customers; reading activity list took me some time. Some activities are free and others are not.

 The resort has several restaurants and each one has its own specialties. Main restaurant nearby swimming pool serves dinner buffet as well. Surprisingly meals in the restaurants are quite affordable. The price for each meal varies from about 200 to 300 peso.  

If you are into scuba diving, you can book your diving at the diving shop in the resort. Each dive is $35 including everything you need. I personally recommend this resort to anyone who is looking for overnight trip from Manila. Like I say it's always fun to know Philippines.
