Majestic Puraran — Hotel in Catanduanes Island

It's summertime! This is the last resort that we've asked for an accommodation coz others are fully booked. Luckily, the Russian tourist cancelled her reservation and we're saved.||||It has bed, fan and bathroom that is clean though it has no door but a shower curtain instead. It has a hammock also added for a more "relaxing feels".||It has also a mosquito net, you can use it if you're solo but better bringing one if you have comrades. ||||The staff here are nice but the foods aren't, they are pricey so better bringing yours.||||Note:||||Make a reservation if you're going to check-in. (especially if peak season, lucky enough if there are cancelled reservations you can get a room)|| ||Ask the in-charge or any other personnel where you're staying in to make a reservation for you in UV express.||||Bring your own foods and water.||Don't forget also speakers...

The Majestic Puraran Beach is widely known for its surfing waves.

Food is good, period. There is a lot to see around without...
