Lunch upon arrival at @ariaraisland #h2hariara

Travel bubble flight is the best option. @airswift.airlinesph has a 42 seater and a 72 seater. All staff is tested daily. Tip: You don’t pay for the dead leg so it’s more cost effective. You can charter the whole flight – one leg going then the leg coming back. Even if it’s not full, you can now bring more luggage. You can also try @airtaxi.ph #h2htraveltips #h2hariara

Everyone is very careful with their own safety protocols. Plastic between the driver & passengers in the van. Disinfectant booth in the airport. PPE suits for staff #itsmorefuninthephilippines #h2htraveltips #h2hcovid #h2hariara

The usual way to @ariaraisland – From Manila you take a short commercial flight to Busuanga (Coron) regional airport for a private transfer to Ariara by sea. Helicopter transfer from Busuanga to Ariara is also possible. Or you can charter an amphibious aircraft from Manila Bay to Ariara direct. – But because we used @airswift.airlinesph we landed in Lio airport, El Nido. You need to take a 30-45 min car ride to the pier and another 1 and 1/2 hr boat ride ( could be longer if the waves are strong) Their main boat can take 7 or so passengers so the rest of the group took a bangka which took an hour longer #h2hariara

Our cottage for the week. Beach cottage 4 beside beach cottage 3. There are 4 beach cottages in @ariaraisland This is nice for couples and if you have kids it would be nice to get the whole cluster – 1 and 2 or 3 and 4 ( in photo) Ariara is by Architect Jorge Yulo @yulojorge #h2hariara#h2hinteriors
 There are 2 jungle villas in @ariaraisland and this ( Jungle 2 ) is the biggest on the island. It’s 2 floors with 2 bedrooms on the top floor. It can be 2 couples or be for a family. The other jungle villa is identical with the second bedroom being a small ( single bed) bedroom. The resort is 10 years old but it’s well maintained #h2hariara The Pier suite which is on top of the clubhouse has a lounge and one of the best views on the island @ariaraisland #h2hariara

The cottage near the spa is a family cottage which has 3 beds inside!! I love the log bridge that goes to it!!
