✨ My Favorite Moments
🛶 Paddling Into Hidden Wonderlands
Kayaking through secret caves and lagoons was absolutely surreal! Quiet waters, lush greenery, and limestone cliffs — pure magic!
🥂 Sunset from the Deck
Watching the sun melt into the horizon while sipping a cocktail on the deck — a golden moment I’ll never forget!
🐚 Exploring Surprising Cave (Sung Sot Cave)
Gigantic stalactites, shimmering chambers, and natural rock formations — felt like stepping inside a fairytale!
🥢 Feasting Like Royalty
Fresh seafood BBQ, spring rolls, tropical fruits — every meal was a mini celebration!
