We love getting day passes at different resorts in the Philippines! It's nice to be able to test them out without committing to a place for 1 or 2 weeks! This resort had an amazing view! 😍

[@ChrisLasVegas777]

Yes, better to test a place out than get stuck at a resort you don't like!

[@nart204]

we loves you Guys, live here in philippines Guys make philippines your 2nd home 👋👋👋👍

Wow i love that view that is one of a kind of paradise i have heard most restaurants in Philippines 🇵🇭 they don’t serve knife 🔪, because during the spanish era , they are afraid the Pilipino would use it against them, that is very romantic 💘 for both of you snacking sharing halohalo while watching the sunset 🌅 in sepalay island 🏝️ Philippines 🇵🇭 thanks for sharing

I think Negros Occidental is so underrated in Visayas part.. I think they are overshadowed by the popularity of Cebu and Bohol.. I'm not from Visayas part but I'm happy seeing this nice places in Visayas and foreigners enjoying this places

[@WorldFamilyExplorers]

We love going to the less traveled areas. A lot of Filipino locals to the Island come here for vacations or a weekend getaways so it feels more authentic here than more busy tourists places. We also went to Bohol and enjoyed it as well but there is something different and special about Sipalay.. ❤️ 😊

[@ampoyhiligaynon9517]

Wooooooooow thank you so much for coming and promoting our place called Sipalay City, Negros Occidental, Philippine 🇵🇭 I'm from Barangay 5, Sipalay City, Negros Occidental, Philippine and thank you so much once again for coming in our city. May the Government help make roads and about long un use lands one was on Maricalum will be see by the government and make it in use with roads and please help us Sipalaynons to make promoting electric post to be built located and part of Maricalum because I seen it myself and ask myself why n Earth did the government did not notice to build electric post and make electric post possible specially Sangat Barangay Maricalum, Sipalay City. Men if someone go to Tulfo and make a question that why electricity was not around for decades at part of Maricalum.

[@5100yes]

Not sure if i told you, but if you get a chance at 5AM early in the morning or so , ask the locals and just get some fresh baked pandesal (filipino sweet bread)! Have that with butter spread and Eden cheese on the side and your cup of coffee and you'll thank me ! Oh btw we like to dip our bread in our coffee . ..🤣

[@WorldFamilyExplorers]

[@hazegear3643]

it is the norm of most local resorts to charge for "cottages" for you to put your things. and yeah we have been calling those tables with a roof as cottages since. but i guess its because the earlier ones are actually bamboo huts and kinda look like cottages😅

[@WorldFamilyExplorers]

I guess we pictured a cottage to be a small little house like it is in the USA. If it had a bigger roof / umbrella to shad us from the sun, we would have been happy, but it didn't even have that. It was still worthwhile to enjoy the pool and the amazing view! ❤️ 😊

[@WorldFamilyExplorers]

The kids loved having their own I dividual rooms with their own TVs! Smile 😊

[@mozillaproxima4941]

I think I see where they're coming from with the word "cottage". At some resorts they have these little bamboo houses called "bahay kubo" basically a mini house hut with a table and seating in it and would roughly translate to "cottage" in English. In other resorts, it really is a cottage - i.e. a proper little bamboo house that's like a hotel room inside. When you finally revealed your little cottage for the day, I too was blown away 🤣 even for me ( a local ) it was beyond my imagination - like something out of The Far Side comic 🤣

[@WorldFamilyExplorers]

@mozillaproxima4941 We were thinking it was not a bad price for a cottage until we saw it was just a table with a small umbrella. We were required to get a "cottage" to be able to get food then you need to pay extra to get food delivered to the " cottage " from the restaurant which was at the bottom of the stairs. Also we were only allowed to stay until 5:00 pm unless we got a room for the night so we couldn't stay to watch the sunset which was our intention. We also almost got kicked out because the kids were jumping into the pool. There were lots of weird rules and fees, but the view was amazing! 😊

[@mozillaproxima4941]

@@WorldFamilyExplorers I'd be kinda ticked off too. It usually has to do with the owner of the place. Couldn't really blame the staff. Pity, as it is quite a nice little place off the beaten path. Oh well! Can't win 'em all! Look forward to your next video. Sipalay looks like a quaint little town!

[@ajpw2d489]

Always bargain in PH. The first price they will give you is the not the base price as they know you will bargain. They do that even to locals. It happen anywhere in the world.

[@WorldFamilyExplorers]

Since we were in a remote area with no car, we just went with the flow and didn't want to ruffle any feathers on prices. It was still a good deal, but we are getting spoiled with the much lower prices in the Philippines compared to the crazy high prices in the USA right now! ❤️ 😊 🇵🇭

[@sirryana.2163]

What happen, no karaoke singing today, lol 😄. ok keep it coming guys. yeah that resort is not a good place to recommend place to go to. some sketchy additional charges that does not make sense and bad fries for 200 pesos. the halo halo is way better for 99 pesos.🙃😑😑

[@WorldFamilyExplorers]

There is karaoke every night possible, but we don't always record it...😆 That resort is nice for the view and the pool, but that is all. Sad the day pass doesn't allow you to stay after 5:00pm which was sad because we planned on staying for the sunset but you need to get a room for the night if you want to stay later. Halo Halo is always refreshing, and watching the sunset at the Sipalay City beachfront was free and 😍 😋

You’ve been in Sipalay for what, a couple of weeks now? And no one has told you it’s si-PAH-LIE? Emphasis on the second syllable and not on the first like you guys have been doing. It’s not SEE- pa-lay but si-PAH-LIE. Not lay as in lay your head on my shoulder but LIE as in two truths and a lie.

[@WorldFamilyExplorers]

Thanks for the explanation! Our apologies, us silly Americans pronouncing it how it's spelled. Nobody told us until we had already recorded our videos. Sorry if we offended anyone..take care ❤️ 😊

That bathrooms just need a shower curtain. Tell the owner to put a curtain rod.

That is a good idea, it would be easy to do! 😊

[@dukelorbertson5521]

Only view is good. But that place is overrated. Price is over price

[@WorldFamilyExplorers]

We agree, the view was the only good part. The pool was nice but no loungers, just the " Cottage" which was really just a table..

[@DianaTuTu29]

I guess "cottage" means something different in the Philippines 😏

Yes...not a cottage we were thinking. Though it would be a small house...

[@DianaTuTu29]

​@@WorldFamilyExplorersthey do have "rooms" there though...right?

[@WorldFamilyExplorers]

@DianaTuTu29 yes they have rooms to spend the night there if you want. You need to pay for a room if you want to stay past 5:00 and enjoy the sunset which we were sad about because we were planning to stay fir the sunset from that nice elevated view!

[@OverDosed_OD]

Locals are very good in understanding and speaking English but you just have to talk in a slow to mid-paced. Negros Occidental - means west natives. Dialect - I-long-go Abyan - means friend Negros Oriental - east natives Dialect - Bi-sa-ya Higala - means friend

[@WorldFamilyExplorers]

Thank you so much for the info. We would love to practice some of the languages/ dialects so we are prepared for our next trip there! 😊 ❤️

[@fearlessmlbb2664]

The resort you went to sucks. Too many hidden and additional fees for EVERYTHING (and the things payed for such as the "cottage" is a scam) plus, the staff isn't even friendly. It's a NO GO zone

[@WorldFamilyExplorers]

We agree it wasn't great... We didn't like the food very much, the staff was not so friendly and the extra fees didn't make sense. It was an amazing view up there, which was the only saving grace...

View only good but payment is over price. Not to go back in that place

[@WorldFamilyExplorers]
