Last Saturday (August 13), I was able to have a get-together with my girlfriends from high school together with their families (kids and some husbands). It was held at Dakong Bato Resort in Dalaguete, Cebu - the next town after Argao if you are traveling to Southern Cebu. We decided to have it there for a change of scenery as we are already getting tired of the usual venue, which is the beach in Lawis in Argao.
That was the first time I've been to that 2-year old resort and my first time to come back to that area. Many years ago, I sometimes pass by there to travel south and I remember having picked that spot as my favorite. It used to be just a cliff at the side of the highway with a dangerous long drop to the ocean below. It was considered dangerous because one wrong turn and you and your car could be tumbling down to the ocean below. But the scene from there was always quite lovely with the blue sea as the backdrop. I remember asking my father once to stop there in that spot for me and my brothers and cousins to take a photo. I have to look for that photo now.
Now, the place is hardly recognizable. It is no longer a dangerous long drop to the ocean. They have converted it into a nice small resort with two swimming pools (one for kids and one for adults), rooms for those who want to stay some nights, a restaurant and plenty of staircases on the sides of the cliffs for access to the whole property. If you want a dip in the blue sea, there is also a small area for you to do so.
Overall, our get-together was very enjoyable although only six of us girlfriends were able to come. It is always nice to catch up with old friends and much more in a very nice place.
**Dakong Bato means "big rock/stone" in English. The place is aptly named because of a huge rock nestled in front of the property.
