We got to enjoy the beauty of this beach for free thanks to Alta Vista de Boracay.  They offer a free ride to Puka Beach to their guests.  It is a 7-minute drive from Alta Vista de Boracay to Puka Beach.  Alta Vista has a private beach front there, lined with cabanas, which are free to use by their guests.  They also have attendants there to guide and assist you.  Fresh towels are also provided.  Hmmm.. Thank you, Alta Vista! Puka Beach is a 20-minute ride from the White Beach.  They said it is named after the Puka shells, which you can find scattered along its white sands. When we were there (February 5, 2018), we were not able to swim because of the big waves.  There is also a warning sign icon that shows the danger of a strong current.  The waves here are also white and foamy. Sand is grainier in the shoreline because of small bits of shells mixed in with it, but a little farther it can be powdery. There are also vendors who are selling accessories and home decor

Montebello Villa Hotel is located amidst the active metropolis of Cebu, just behind Gaisano Country Mall , a 4-minute walk away.  The hotel maintains its low-rise buildings, surrounded by greenery. We just came from our  Bantayan Island escapade  when we checked in at this hotel.  It was an almost 6-hour trip from the island itself.  We rode a ferry from Santa Fe Port to Hagnaya Port , and from there, we were able to find a van bound to Cebu North Bus Terminal and finally rode a taxi to the hotel. We were greeted with their refreshing welcome drink, a delightful concoction of what seems to be ginger and lemon grass.  Staff greets us all the time.  They were accommodating and helpful. My husband booked the Superior Room , which is a blend of traditional Filipino and Hispanic style .  It has a private balcony and bathtub.  We paid an additional fee of P1,200 for extra head.  Personally, I really don't like our hotel room because it is kind of outdated , even the hallw
