    El Rio Y Mar - 10 Reasons Why I Prefer El Rio over Club Paradise

    Having Fun at El Rio Y Mar-9

    If El Nido has a Miniloc and Lagen Resort, Busuanga has the sister resorts of Club Paradise and El Rio Y Mar. El Rio is 30% cheaper than its sister company Club Paradise. In the same way that I like Miniloc Island in El Nido, I love El Rio Y Mar for its laid back friendly ambiance, safe beach, and near kayak-friendly lagoon area.

    El Rio Resort is located in an island where the Busuanga river meets the South China Sea -- hence its name in Spanish, El Rio Y Mar.

    The sister resorts are very complementary. Club Paradise's weaknesses are El Rio Y Mar's Strengths.

    10 Reasons Why I Prefer El Rio over Club Paradise

    El Rio Y Mar-7
    1. An inviting Infinity Pool which is the centerpiece of the entire resort.

    El Rio Y Mar-2
    2. Elegant Cedar Wood Log Cabins with Hot and Cold Fresh Water Showers :) Better rooms and 30% cheaper than Club Paradise!

    3. AwEsome Sunset where the lagoon acts as a mirror reflecting the stunning colors of the sunset.

    9. Less Tourists because most of them are in Club Paradise. Most Filipinos prefer this resort especially honeymooners because it is quiet and private. Anyway, there are complimentary boat rides to Club Paradise if you want to visit for a day tour. It only takes 30 minutes to go to Club Paradise.

    10. An extensive water sports facility --- from Kayaking to Banana Boat, etc.

    Don't expect Boracay-sand-like quality beach in this resort. At night, you will see Jelly fish landings on the beach.
