Sidetrip: Baybayon ni Agalon (Albuera, Leyte)

September 16, 2010 by Edcel Leave a Comment

2-days after we arrived in Palompon, my cousins planned to go to Albuera to discover the scenicbeauty of Baybayon ni Agalon Resort. Edcel and I went there with them for FREE! 😀

Albuera is a 3rd class municipality in the province of Leyte, Philippines. According to the 2000 census, it has a population of 34,335 people in 7,193 households.

The town boasts of a semi-concrete municipal building. Streets within the poblacion are reinforced with cement along the ditches giving the town a neat look and at the same time providing security against muddy streets during the rainy months.

Getting there.

Albuera is accessible only by land. If you are from Cebu, you can go to Ormoc City on a 2-hour boat ride via Supercat/Weesam. Or you can go via slow boat (Cebu Ferries) which takes 6 hours. And then from Ormoc City, you have to take another 15-minute ride via Bus/vHire to reach Albuera.

The Resort.
It was a long trip from Palompon to Albuera but once you get in to the resort, you’ll surely be amazed of its green-clean surroundings. Its awesome, so wonderful! The newest and the most scenic picnic resort along Ormoc — “Baybayon ni Agalon” literally translates to “The Shores of Agalon” is a relaxing resort of Albuera, Leyte.

The resort has a beautiful landscape, quiet, and green surroundings. There are two pools with water slides which is very appealing to the children who would really enjoy swimming in its cold waters. They also have a jacuzzi for adults. Nonetheless, I was bit disappointed of their beach. Sand is not white and there are lots of tiny rocks. What they lack on the look of the beach, they made up on the other aspects of the resort.
I was pretty much impressed with the way the resort has been set up or landscaped. Thumbs up for that! Their beautiful landscape is matched with big tree houses and they have cottages near the pond area with kois in it. The resort also has a mini zoo, with 2 monkeys, guinea foul, geese, lizard and two ostriches near the entrance. They also have a mini playground which kids can check out. Baybayon ni Agalon is definitely a resort that anybody can enjoy. From kids, to yuppies, to the oldies and the kids-at- heart! If you come to visit Albuera, you should visit Baybayon ni Agalon.

We enjoyed roaming around the resort, taking pictures with my nieces and sisters. Edcel and I also enjoyed seeing my sisters and nieces shouting every time they slide through the 2 slides setup in the pool. We all had fun at the resort. I loved it and wish I could go back there and stay overnight. This is such a great place for a quick getaway – rustic, peaceful and simply relaxing.

To sum up, this was my ever super uber unforgettable summer vacation with my family and Edcel.
