Affordable Resorts in Cagbalete Island
Dona Choleng Camping Resort
This was the resort we stayed in when we traveled there back in 2016. At that time, it was the biggest resort in the island and has the most number of rooms. It’s a sister resort of the nearby Villa Noe, Villa Cleofa’s and Joven’s Blue Sea Resort, and it was named after the grand-aunt of the current owners. They have several accommodation options such as rooms, huts/cottages and you can also opt to pitch a tent.
