Isla Reta: A seventh heaven beneath
A trip to the island of Samal is never complete without a stop to the fine white sand beach and a crystal clear blue water, the Isla Reta.It is located at the "back" of Samal Island.It was my first time to visit the place,yet, I already heard great things about the isla.Its one of the reasons why I cant help my self not to take a step to the white powdery sand of Isla Reta.Its less frequented visited by people because it is much further than the other island.We took a boat from Sta. Ana Wharf, behind of Magsaysay Park.There are only 2 regular trips to isla Reta, from 8am – 1pm that would costs P50 only. The ferry took us directly to the resort and paid for another P50.00 for the entrance fee. The ride was about 30-45 minutes to get to the island..but,trust me!it is well worth the trip.
My friends and I spent 3 days of nights in the isla. It was the best summertime that I spent on the beach and I bet …all of my pals would agree. Swimming, snorkeling, and boating.You named it they got it! but don’t forget to include life vests. Theres no need for us to rent for a cottage.We even dine below trees and brought our own camping tent with us. Trust me! its more enjoyable than spending your money for the cottages. To make things tad to be more interesting perhaps add ice –cold drinks and grilled chicken.
