If this was the kind of vacation you had last summer, take a twist this coming summer time and visit Canibad Beach Resort.

Perfect place if you want to have a Batanes view like scenery. I did't expect that the view of Sabang would captivate me because all I know before I went there was just to jump. I guess less expectations gives you more.
