Lodging

Maxine by The Sea During The Day

If you are the type of person who wants to stay at the mainland, Maxine by the Sea Lodge & Restaurant is a place you may want to consider to stay. Our group for one stayed at Maxine by the Sea. Upon reaching Maxine by the Sea Lodge & Restaurant, we immediately saw souvenir shops at its entrance to the right and the place where the boats parked to the left. There might be a chance that you will be greeted by boatmen willing to render the services of their boat if you plan to venture to the islands. That actually happened to our group. But before renting the boat, we wanted to get a room first to have a place to rest and store our things.

Front Desk

Inquiring the front desk of their rates, some of us checked out the rooms we were supposed to be staying at. Some of us on the other hand, stayed near the front desk checking out the other things Maxine had to offer. From the front desk, there was a waiting area, a restaurant area spanning two floors, and even an al fresco like area where you can eat out rather than the usual restaurant area. Each room in Maxine by the Sea is air conditioned and has two beds that could cater two people per bed and a bathroom in each room. And with a group consisting of five people, we were able to stay in one room and just rented an extra bed for the fifth person.

Maxine by the Sea At Night

Though if you are the adventurous type or want to experience staying at the islands, there are islands where one can stay either through camping or staying at some houses built specifically as a place to stay at the island. If you want to rent a house in an island, there is one available, the Big Brother house. Originally used for Pinoy Big Brother as a house for the housemates, this house can be rented for ten thousand Philippine pesos (PHP 10,000.) We were able to see the house when we docked in Governors Island where the house is located. Yet, we were unable to look inside the house since there were people renting it that time. On the other hand, if you are the camper type, wanting to sleep in tents in order to admire the night sky without the lights from establishments in the mainland, one can camp out on Quezon Island for a smaller price than on lodging at resorts.
