  • Surprisingly affordable and Instagram-worthy AirBnB accommodation in Siargao!

    August 10, 2019 / 1 Comment

    If it’s a pretty fine resort or hotel accommodation, it’s expensive. Or at least it’s what I have always thought? Before, I used to check into more than decent air-conditioned room accommodations because I would want to get a satisfying rest enough to get me ready for the adventures on the next day. But then I realized, I shouldn’t be spending that much for a place where I’d only stay for few hours of slumber. My perspectives have shifted after a year or two of traveling. I have gradually turned into a traveler-on-a-budget who usually checks in to room sharing, dormitory type of accommodation because these are way cheaper; hence,…

  • The Villa: Your Next AirBnB Target in Don Salvador Benedicto

    November 3, 2018 / 0 Comments

    Don Salvador Benedicto is a landlocked town on the East side of Negros Occidental. It is a home to arrays of pine trees, cool climate, sweet and fresh fruits, cafes, waterfalls and other natural wonders that will surely make your stay in the town worthwhile. Few months ago, I visited Don Salvador Benedicto and I was truly in awe and in love with the place’s vibe not to mention the very cheap yet grand AirBnB by Vacation Villas in KM 55 that I discovered. Just a week ago, I was back to the place and I must say, I  missed its vibe and the coffee!  The cold breeze just  and…

  • Don Salvador Benedicto, Negros Occidental’s Vacation Villa KM 55: Your Home Away from Home

    July 5, 2018 / 1 Comment

    Fill your lungs with nothing but fresh air, feel the cold breeze on your face, feel the dampness of the Earth on your soles as you step with your bare feet on the ground, look at the canopy of clouds in the blue skies well contrasted with the greens of the pine treetops, hear these rustle harmoniously with the chirping of birds in daytime and the crickets at night. Salvio Vacation Villa will let your senses come alive and bring you to the grandeur of nature found in life’s simplest form. It offers a seemingly luxurious way to experience these yet surprisingly affordable. Vacation Villas is located at Kilometer 55,…
