Summer Escapade at Isla Reta in Talikud Island

-->

Mandatory Jump Shot at the Beach

In Talikud Island, there exists a special resort where paradise is an understatement. It's beautiful, the ambiance is so serene and the area is so peaceful you would want to stay all day and relax and think about nothing. This is Isla Reta resort, a paradise where you can be one with nature.

What I like about Isla Reta is that it's not crowded here. The beach front is so clean, all you can see is its natural white sand. It's perfect if you want to take a brisk walk at the sea side especially in the morning. You will be entertained with the peaceful wave of the sea and some little corals that randomly show up besides the shores.

The seashore of the resort

The water at Isla Reta resort is cool and clean. For those who want to go swimming, you will find its water refreshing because I can definitely say that it's zero garbage, no plastics, no bottles and what not. I think it also helps that the area is still less developed, no commercial buildings like hotels and restaurants. People can just rent a room or cottage where they can stay overnight or whole day.

I must say that morning is the best time to enjoy the resort. The view of the sunrise is so amazing you wish you could watch it all day long. Fishermen are also in the vicinity with their respective little boats hoping to catch some fish for breakfast.
