My lunch destination for the day - Kuting Reef Resort and Spa in the town of Macrohon, Southern Leyte. Not really in the town center yet. Still some 7 kilometers before it. And this was already a northward run from Padre Burgos that is the southern end of the peninsula. The ride from Padre Burgos town center took only about 5 minutes, so, I would imagine, that distance would probably have been just 5 kilometers, or even less!
Ironically cute, I just realized Kuting Reef Resort is nearer to the town center of Padre Burgos than that of its own Macrohon! And for those who got it all wrong like I did until this trip, Kuting Reef Resort is not in Maasin City. Still way far from it at about 22+ kms.
For those driving, this is "hard-to-miss" since there are ample road signs like this...
Those signs abound (yes, some are quotable quotes like that!) whether you're coming from the north (i.e., Maasin, Macrohon) or south, like where I came from, Padre Burgos.
Well, some of the signs are not as big but still ample like this...
Note: the intersection where you veer off to the resort is on a curving portion of the national highway, so ingat hehe! Same thing and especially if you're getting off a PUV.
This is that corner. We were turning left here as we came from Padre Burgos...
Don't worry if you are coming from that opposite direction. Those signs are replicated on this side of the road. You can even see their backs in this picture - on the big tree at left!
And then you traverse this path for about a hundred meters or so...
I said "kelangan pa ba ang mga istandarte na yan, here on their property?" which driver laughingly replied with "sabay istandarte naman sir, ano yan prosisyon ng Del Rosario"?
As we were laughing I said these things should have been planted out on the highway to attract would-be customers. And my driver said "kararaksot han lettering, amo ada waray nira igawas"! I think he meant the font was ugly - to which I very much agree! 😆
On reaching that ceremonial boom barrier, the guard asked "yes sir, unsay ato?...
It was the driver who answered as that guard was on his side. But I was murmuring something like this... "tangina unsa'y ato ka diha! Mupalit dextrose or dili kaha mulukat cedula?! Mag-unsa pa kaha mi sa usa ka resort?!". There's a better way of asking visitors.
Anyway, we arrived at Kuting Reef Resort and Spa! See First picture above!
