just returned from puerto galera yesterday, my fiance and i stayed in a secluded simple resort at dalaruan, puerto galera 15mins walked from Coco Beach. The resort is a beachfront but not ideal for swimming but better stay in bamboo rather in white beach (the beach is no good and it's too crowded). The room in Bamboo cost P1,000 only good for 2 and family room P2,000 good for 5. the only thing i didnt like in the resort they dont have a restaurant but the good thing is you can go to coco beach and pay P200 for the pool pass, the P200 is already consumable of food and drinks and you can stay on the resort to swim and use the pools. the room is not air conditioned but it's really airy and the room is really relaxing. kuya ben and his wife is very accomodating, you can even ask them to cook for your meals (of course you have to pay them). on our 1st day we went for snorkeling in long beach and pay him 800 (we were only two, for 5 persons it's only 1000) in long beach we rented a boat for 150 for snorkeling and 50 for the shoes cause you cant walked there with you barefoot. i think it's practical to stay in bamboo and then just go to coco beach for your lunch or dinner and swim. trust me the other beach are really no good, cocobeach they have good one and aninuan but the rooms are quite expensive. so there! but if you want to go to white beach and see the crowd, you can go to muelle and from there hire a tricycle for 150 that will bring you to white beach.( they dont even have white beach was disappointed, the beach have a no good aquamarine sand). always bring money when you leave the resort.

how to get there?
go to muelle puerto galera and kuya ben will fetch you there(P300) for the roundtrip transfer. Good for 2-4 i think.
