Aside from the famous White Beach, there still are lots of unspoiled beaches in Puerto Galera including this one we have recently visited together with AirTrav, the Fridays Puerto Galera.
Fridays Puerto Galera with AirTrav

This resort is an eco-friendly and luxury resort that offers large cabin villas perfect for couples and families, diving activities, sumptuous foods at the CRU Restaurant, relaxation and peace like no other than the other famous beaches in Puerto Galera cannot offer.
Last weekend, we went on a staycation escapade to Fridays Puerto Galera via a seaplane from AirTrav. It only took us about 35 – 40 mins from Manila to Puerto Galera (that’s 5x faster than traveling to Batangas Port from Manila and taking a boat from Batangas Port to Puerto Galera. It saved us so much time! Check out our flying experience via AirTrav from Manila to Fridays Puerto Galera.

Getting there and What to expect
Upon arriving at the island via the AirTrav seaplane, we immediately head on to the receptionist that was very accommodating. The General Manager also welcomed us and served us welcome drinks. However, our room was not yet ready so we explored a bit of the luxury resort.
Each staff who we got to come across with was welcoming and smiling towards every other guest — and that’s a great thing. You won’t feel like a stranger at all. They’ll greet you happily.
The CRU Restaurant, the only restaurant in the area, which was just behind the front desk also serves sumptuous meals at a reasonable price. Compliments to the chef for serving us great food while we were on Fridays Puerto Galera. The scenery at the restaurant will also be one of your favorites during your stay. peace, calm, quiet.

The beach is enticing. Who goes to an island getaway and not swim in the ocean? The ocean is one of the most beautiful creations on Earth and truly makes our hearts jump and get excited every time we see and swim into one. A few meters away from the shore, you’d find coral reefs even at 1-meter deep level. That’s how healthy the beach is. Absolute one of the best marine ecologies in the world.
The CRU Restaurant serves great food. With happy and welcoming people in the restaurant, you’d never go wrong with whatever you will order. During our stay, the restaurant never failed to delight us with sumptuous treats. There was even a complimentary cocktail in the evening of our first night. Lovely!
