Santiago Bay Garden & Resort with Traveloka
In this modern time, there are a lot of options for us to choose when we want to check the whereabouts of a certain place, travel diaries and blogs are the best of resources for this information. Social media is also a good avenue to get information of a certain place. The rising popularity of travel apps is also a good means to check for reviews and feedback and it also allows us to choose the best option for our travel needs.
I came across with the commonly used apps but I find convenience with using Traveloka during two of my recent escapade, the recent one was at the Island of Camotes.

The most recommended means of transportation in going to the island of Camotes is through the sea since there is still no available airport in the island.

Booking Thru Traveloka
I have tried several travel apps but the Traveloka App is by far the most comprehensive and user-friendly application. Booking has never been this easy and fast. To check my booking process at Santiago Bay Garden & Resort using Traveloka, I created a separate article so you guys will know how effortless the process is.
Bon Voyage!
This is so nice. I’ve never been to Camotes, ever since, but it was great to read on this article because I gained a lot of information to go there especially to Santiago Bay Resort. The good thing about this modern time is we have various apps in Google App or in iStore where we can download apps that can help us to travel, or can be our mobile tour guide rather than hiring someone. Good read! Great Job Kuya! 🙂
I’ve never been to Camotes. Duol ra man unta haha. Thanks for this post. Will definitely visit this beautiful island one of these days. Always naay deal sa Traveloka ang Santiago hehe
This is something na wala pa nako na visit but really want to! I’ve also tried using Traveloka and I liked it, pero wala ko nadayon book kay I changed my mind about the hotel. Hehe. Ka nice sa infinity pool oi.
Sige, mag download pod ko ani na app and this is a nice travel guide as well. Will bookmark this for future travel reference.
Yay ma try nga soon!
Infairness, nice pod ang Traveloka daghang barato kapilian.
downloading the app. Hoping to find best accomodation deals. And by the way, I amneed in-love with the aqua sports ❤
I’ve heard of Traveloka before! I really don’t travel often so I didn’t wanna download something I wouldn’t use so often. Maybe I should give it a try!
Never been to Camotes and I would love to go there. When it comes to apps, i have used the competitor apps but I might give traveloka a spin the next time I decide to travel.
