Lee Gralto's Hidden Paradise Resort: A paradise found



Lee Gralto's Hidden Paradise Resort: A paradise found



Sipaway Island is undeniably one of the best tourists destinations in my hometown, San Carlos City, Negros Occidental. It is just a 15-minute boat ride away from the city and the fare is very cheap costing only twenty pesos per person. People in our city goes to the Island for a quick vacation or simply for a quick dive to it's clear crystal waters which will definitely wash away all the tiredness and stress of hustling during the weekdays. I personally visit the Island almost every weekend for I am a huge fan of free diving. I always thought that I've already visited all the beautiful beaches and resorts in this Island but little did I know that there is this one resort that lies at the back part of the Island which is seldom visited due to it's far location and very limited access. You can only reach it by boat if it's high tide. If it's low tide you will have to ride a tricycle from the Island's port called "Dapdap" to Lee Gralta's Hidden Paradise Resort which may take up to 15-20 minutes.



Although it is farther compared to other resorts in the Island, all the hassle and expense will be worth it once you see the beauty of the place. It is indeed a hidden paradise. The owner of the resort, Madam Lee Gralto, is a huge fan of martial arts. As a matter of fact she is a black belter and has a huge passion in teaching children who lives in the Island martial arts for free. 



The place is huge and it is surrounded with colorful flowers. Imagine waking up to the same scenery every day. I am jealous of the people who lives here. They are so lucky to have this place to enjoy for the rest of their lives.


The rooms are very clean and comfortable. You can choose from single to family sized rooms, fan or airconditioned they definitely have it all! Their staffs are very accommodating and welcoming, you will surely feel at home. What I love the most about the place is you can bring your pets with you. I'm a dog person, I treat my dogs like family so whenever I go to a vacation I always make sure no one gets left behind and thankfully, the resort allows you to bring your pets no matter how small or big they are!


Oh how I wish I could stay here forever! This is a vacation place I surely recommend. If you are from San Carlos or anywhere in the Philippines, add this place to your bucket list and I assure you, you will never regret such an awesome experience!
