The DOT-accredited Club
Paradise Resort, on the idyllic Dimakya Island, is a beautiful
19-hectare rock island paradise on the northwest coast of Busuanga Island in
Palawan.
The exclusive, Class “AAA” Club Paradise Resort, opened in 1986, was
expanded in 1990 and now has 26 non-airconditioned cottages with bath (9
de luxe, 17 standard), 14 airconditioned family cottages and 20 airconditioned
apartment-type rooms.
It has a shimmering 700-m. long, powdery white sand beach, a magnificent and
colorful coral reef (including large colorful giant clams) and crystal-clear,
turquoise water. It also has a saltwater swimming pool and a spacious
clubhouse with a 120-pax, al fresco restaurant (Kanog), 2 bars (Dugong and
Jungle Bar), lounge with indoor sport area (pingpong, billiards, darts and
board games), video/videoke room, cable TV room, boutique shop, beauty parlor,
24-hour clinic and mini-library.

There is also a jacuzzi,
children's playground, tennis court and a well-equipped dive
center.
The resort also offers dive and dive courses,
waterskis, sit-in kayaks, wakeboards, ringo tubes, windsurfing, Hobie Cat
sailing, banana boats and snorkeling as well as island hopping, bottom and
troll fishing trips, Coron town and island trips and Calauit Island Wildlife
Sanctuary “Safari” tours. It can accommodate about 150 guests at one
time.
The resort’s rustic non-airconditioned, beachfront cottages, made of rattan,
bamboo and nipa, had double beds (plus an extra one for me), a marble bath
and a veranda with a bamboo sala set and an enticing hammock
for relaxing.
