SURF, SHOP, AND SIGHTSEE IN SENSATIONAL SUBIC!
 by: DirectWithHotels Ltd.

If you’re looking for an Asian tourist spot in which to shop, surf, swim, sight-see, and engage in a host of other activities, you need not look to expensive Tokyo, crowded Kuala Lumpur, or even bustling Manila. One particular city is gaining worldwide recognition for its variety of eco-tourist activities and duty-free shopping: Subic Bay!

Subic Bay is located in the southwestern portion of the Philippine island of Luzon. Surrounded by verdant mountain ranges and deep natural harbors, Subic Bay enjoys excellent cool weather and is generally safe from most forces of nature, including typhoons, earthquakes, and the occasional rare volcanic eruption, with world-famous Mount Pinatubo nearby.

Here are six good reasons to visit Subic Bay this vacation time:

Subic Bay Tourism. There are far too many things to see in Subic Bay! Some of the Subic Bay attractions include:

The Subic Watershed Forest Reserve. One of the National Integrated Protected Areas System (NIPAS)’ ten priority sites, the Subic Watershed Forest Reserve is noteworthy for its high biodiversity. The Subic Watershed Forest Reserve is home to more than 745 plant species, including very rare trees.

JEST (Jungle Environmental Survival Training) Camp and Butterfly Garden. Aeta Training Officers trained by members of the US Navy help you learn jungle survival techniques. Butterfly Kingdom allows you to see how these delicate winged creatures thrive.

El Kabayo. The El Kabayo Equestrian Center is a popular horse-riding destination for tourists and horse enthusiasts seeking to ride for hours.

Bicentennial Park. Excellent picnic grounds and a man-made lagoon make this Subic Bay tourist attraction a priority for families seeking a good bonding destination.

Hill 394. 394 meters above sea level, Hill 394 boasts of a stunning view of Subic Bay and Mount Natib.

Mangrove Graveyard. Mangrove Graveyard is a standing testament to the explosive, destructive nature of volcanic eruptions. When Mount Pinatubo exploded in 1991, the mangrove trees in this grove were choked to death by the volcanic ash’s high sulfur content. Eerie.

Pamulaklakin Forest Trails / Pastolan Aeta Village. An Ecology Tour allows travelers the privilege of hiking inside Subic’s forests with a native guide who presents them with examples of Aeta culture and educates them on various types of medicinal plants. Camping and picnicking are encouraged.

Subic Bay Zoos. There are some noteworthy zoos and animal sanctuaries in Subic. Among them are:

Zoobic. The newest and most innovative zoo in the Philippines, Zoobic is divided into four areas: – the Serpentarian, featuring reptiles; the Savannah, featuring ostriches, boars, and other birds; the Petting Zoo, a walk-through tropical jungle; and the Tiger Safari, where 20 people or so ride a safari jeepney and witness a tiger attack live chicken bait.

Bat Kingdom. Subic Bay tourism gets a good kick out of its bats. Subic’s Bat Kingdom features over 10,000 fruitbats, the biggest of its kind in the world, as well as bamboo bats and flying foxes.

Subic Bay Ocean Adventure. The first and most widely known marine sanctuary in the Philippines, the Subic Bay Ocean Adventure features dolphins, false killer whales, and sea lions in their natural habitats.

Subic Bay Shipwrecks. In a fitting testament to its history, Subic Bay shipwrecks dot its underwater world with spirits of days gone by. Scuba divers are invited to peruse historical relics dating back to Spanish times, including the Oryoko Maru, the Seian Maru, the USS New York, the USS Rochester, and the LCV Landing Craft.

Subic Bay Beaches. Subic Bay beaches are known throughout the Philippines for their raw, natural feel. With the wide expanse of clear blue sky overhead, the brilliant Philippine sun pouring in like butterscotch, and the pleasant feeling of sand beneath your feed and sea air in your lungs, Subic Bay beaches – All Hands, Nabasan, Kamayan, Hidden, Dungaree, Officers’ Beach, Grande Island, and Redondo – are all suitable choices for a Subic Bay beach getaway.

Subic Bay Shopping. Subic Bay shopping is legendary for its wide selection of imported and local goods. Subic Bay shopping is duty-free, so one can get items at bargain-basement prices, so be prepared to shop in Subic with plenty of dollars (or even pesos) because you can definitely buy in Subic a lot of great items. After you shop, enjoy the flavors of the world with the wide variety of restaurants in the area, offering sopping-weary travelers comfort food with Chinese, Japanese, Italian, Filipino, and American cuisine, among many others.

Subic Hotels. There is no shortage of Subic hotels, from international chains that offer five-star Subic accommodations to cozy little Subic bed-and-breakfasts that cater to backpackers. Many Subic hotels have official websites that provide detailed information about each hotel in Subic, including their rooms, amenities, and facilities. Some of them, like the Subic Park Hotel, even allow Guests to reserve directly with them, offering the best rates on the Internet and instant confirmation.

So what are you waiting for? An enjoyable and truly memorable Subic vacation may be only a few clicks of a mouse away! Take a chance, reserve a Subic hotel room, plan your Subic vacation, and go to Subic!

The region of Fethiye with its very famous coast line, the Turquoise Coast and Olu Deniz in particular has by now acquired almost legendary status as the best beach in Turkey. In fact several years back it was voted to be in the top five beaches in the world, been a bit dismissive when I heard this bit of trivia I decided to visit this top five beach in the world destination and put it to the test, my test of course. I have travelled extensively and I am not easily swayed by resorts and beaches unless they are truly heartstoppingly beautiful the kind that actually take your breath away beautiful and I was curious to see what this little Turkish upstart of a place considered to be a top five beach. I distinctly remember the taxi ride from Dalaman airport up to Fethiye City been a bit grey and boring evoking the same charm less city feel that certain parts of Greece have too and frankly I have never quite understood this paradox, glorious beach resorts yuk cities, but to move on as I digress here, on I went up to Fethiye City to complete my final part of the taxi journey. As you leave Fethiye behind you start to ascend towards Hisaronu, a fairly generic Brit resort situated on a plateaux behind Olu Deniz and slightly above sea level and therefore cooler, but as you move through Hisaronu your right side is completely blocked by elevated land and therefore you don’t get a glimpse of the valley below, thus adding to the allure of Olu Deniz; you see nothing until you hit that right turn at the small T section at the end of Hisaronu and its only then you get the instant assault of a beauty so astonishing that I can honestly say my heart missed a beat or even two. The almost theatrical grand opening of Olu Deniz as you descend down to the valley below with its unblemished slash of turquoise your eye cannot help devouring the horizon before it as you simply cannot see where the sea and the sky meet nor care to be frank.

I distinctly remembering the very loud ‘Wow’ that escaped me, I must admit I was instantly smitten! There are plenty of beaches on our little planet that have the ‘wow factor’, but Olu Deniz IS special; barring the obvious natural beauty of Olu Deniz the other things that make it practically perfect is the lack of gargantuan Hotels that unfortunately mar so many great holiday destinations, all the hotels in Olu Deniz centre are fairly smallish in comparison with other parts of Turkey and with its uniquely white architecture the joy in the knowledge that no real development in new hotels has been allowed in the last twelve years makes Olu Deniz truly unique. I have always felt that overdevelopment in certain resorts can have the opposite affect of what was intended, too much of one thing in the same area doesn’t make it special anymore, and it is a testament to the local tourism office of the region that Olu Deniz has been jealously guarded from the greed of developers that would spoil the fragility of this truly wonderful resort. Of course only time will tell if they will keep their word and continue to allow Hisaronu and Ovacik to be developed as satellite resorts to Olu Deniz whilst leaving it as unspoilt as a twenty first century resort can get. Let’s also remember, Olu Deniz was one the very fist resorts in the Med to adopt an Eco Tourism approach, part of the now very famous Blue Lagoon is completely blocked off from tourists and locals to allow the Caretta Caretta Turtles to nest their very precious eggs in the sand and to watch them hatch and repopulate the Mediterranean waters of both Turkey and Greece as they were almost extinct due to over fishing and getting trapped in the new fishing nets. Thankfully the fishing region is re-adopting the old fishing ways so the waters can be replenished.

My personal suggestion would be, depending in what season you want to go, plan it carefully. Olu Deniz itself does not have that many beds to accommodate the amount of people going there so if you are leaving it late to book you may have to settle for the satellite resorts of Olu Deniz, Hisaronu and Ovacik and failing that, Calis Beach a long held local little secret completely undiscovered and un-promoted by the big three operators, which is of course another blessing in disguise. Nearby attractions include the now deserted bougainvillea rich Greek ghost town which had to be deserted by the Greeks in 1917 when The Ottoman Empire fell and all the Asia Minor Greeks where expelled . It’s hard to explain what to feel when you are there; I think it’s a very personal experience and it should be experienced without the need to be told what to feel by any writer. Also butterfly valley has a wonderfully magical quality, I had never seen dragon flies so colourful or butterflies so exquisite and I am not the type to be swayed by such things, I love my PC all the comforts that modern city life affords me, but I can honestly say if I could choose a Dessert Island to escape to I would choose Olu Deniz, making sure of course it was all mine and I did not have to share it with anyone.

Toronto’s downtown hotels – offering you the best values in the continent

In Toronto’s downtown, the cheap hotels there bring you to within walking distance of absolutely mouthwatering gourmet options and must-see attractions such as the CN Tower.

Currently, Caponga Beach could be considered a sleepy local fishing port with a number of fish restaurants, bars, a hotel and a dozen fishing boats. However, the planned expansion around the local area is massive with a minimum of 5 new resort developments having already been approved.

The resort developments include Aguas Belas, adjacent to the Caponga Beach site and consist of an 18-hole golf resort, hotels, spas and over fourteen thousand properties while another offers a beach club with several hundred apartments. There is also additional locations in the area with full planning permission for 3,000 detached villas and to complete the picture there is a proposed new marina at the river mouth.

Caponga Beach is going to be one of Ceará’s fastest growing and successful vacation resorts with exciting and unrivalled opportunities.
