    Thanks Mike. I bought a 1-way plane ticket to Makati; arriving in 2 weeks on Feb 21st. Plan was to hit Cebu then Boracay after, but I'll prob cut those and focus more on the provinces instead. Your videos have been instrumental in planning my trip.

    Carles in the northernmost part of Iloilo. Neighboring Estancia. Always remember Mike, Panay Island only has 4 provinces: Iloilo, Antique, Capiz, Aklan 😅😊 Carles is also Scallops capital of Iloilo

    This resort is nice. Super cozy cozy! It feels spacious and homey. This is the kind of resort that makes you feel relaxed and comfortable. It's not cold luxurious nor exclusive. Just a nice tree-shaded spot for you to while away the airy sunny summer Iloilo day while the rest of the world is occupied at work. Carles, Iloilo, here they come!

    I stayed at Solina in 2019 for 2 nights in a pod, it was much less than what you quoted, it’s a wonderful place especially for families. You’re going to find out that you wasted your money on those scallops because when you go island hopping your lunch includes all the scallops you can eat lol. It’s the best jumping point for Cabagao Gamay. You brought back a lot of memories.

    Living in Iloilo is advantageous because it is accessible to one of the most beautiful beaches, Boracay and Sicogon Island. On the east coast of Iloilo, where Solina Beach Resort is located in Carles, it takes approximately 3 hours to drive. Boracay is slightly 5 hours away.

      Well the derma shops are in ILOILO. I saw one at the Smallville area at Diversion Road, ILOILO CITY's new central business district. The name is SKINETICS, 5 storeys of a whole package of skin and body care pampering. At the ground floor is a Japanese restaurant. No need to go to Bangkok or Manila. Iloilo is a medical tourism destination. Aside from being the Philippines' UNESCO CREATIVE CITY OF GASTRONOMY.

The market area by the city park was under renovation when we were there in 2020 building our home .. we were chased out by Covid and the shutdown. We're planning on a return later this year and a possible stay at that resort for a day or two and were so glad to see such a great video about it. Thanks and come see Carles again ..
