Bellarocca Island Resort and Spa
I have to admit, the first time I saw that picture, I was smitten with her beauty. How could something that can only be seen in Grecian vistas could exist right here in the Philippines. It was surreal. Only after reading a review in one of the premiere local magazines did I fully realize that this was something real, that it really exists.
Bellarocca Island Resort and Spa is situated off the south west coast of the Marinduque province. Characterized by seaside cliffs, valleys, hills and sparsely dotted plains across this heart-shaped region, therein lies even more impressively hot springs, waterfalls and underwater flora and fauna. In addition to these, there are caves that await exploration by adventurous travelers.
Get a load of this. Your very own private villa! What a perfect honeymoon getaway. 
With your own pocket garden, infinity pool, jacuzzi, and this amazing bathroom.
Their Hotel Deluxe Rooms aren’t so bad. Not at all. They actually look so luxurious. The bathroom with glass panels right beside the bed reminds me of The Spa and Lodge in Tagaytay Highlands, albeit the latter being more rustic.
All rooms and villas have their own plasma TV with DVD player and home theater stereo, satellite TV, iPod dock with Hi-Fi sound system, and complimetary Internet access with cable in rooms/villas or via Wi-Fi in common areas.
Marinduque is but a short flight from Manila via Zest Air.
Of course, if I could have it my way, the resort can arrange for a direct private flight via helicopter. Siguro kapag mas mayaman na ako. 
I tried booking online via Zest Air, which is the online airline that has commercial flights to Marinduque, and the round-trip fare for two people came to just around Php2700. And then from the airport, the guests are picked up by private vans for a 40-minute land travel to a little town called Lipata, Buenavista, where a port to the island is located. From there, it’s just another 5-minute ride via speedboat or yacht. And then prepare yourself for
breathtaking vista
panoramic view of the surrounding islands
dramatic sea cliffs
turquoise waters of the Sibuyan Sea.
Since they are still in their soft opening, they are currently offering a 40% discount on their published rates. Their Hotel Deluxe Rooms, the cheapest one they have, is now only at USD252 per night from its regular rate of USD420 per night. Mahal pa rin! 
This does not include any meal, even breakfast. Meals are reported to be quite costly too, at around Php2,000 per head. Pang mayaman! :o:
Don’t fret! There’s hope for us yet. They have this Bellissima Package that’s only Php15,500 per person on twin sharing basis that includes a three-day two-night stay with full-board meals. Pwede na, hindi ba? So if my wife and I will consider staying there, that’s about Php31,000 for food and accommodation plus around Php3000 for air fare. Ang tanong, meron ba kaming ganung pera pang bakasyon?

I’ve been drooling over Bellaroca this past few months. I so want to go there. Makakarating din ako dyan.
*these past few months pala.
wow, this local vacation spot is truly world class! pang rich & famous! pareho tayo ng tanong on your last phrase on this post, lol
hello, i’m new here in your site. i think we share common blog buddies : dyosa & princess dyanie. nice to see a blog written in husband’s point of view. i can relate.
wow! super nice but super pricey. sana malapit nakong yumaman. hahaha!
the elephant island is now bellaroca. i only saw it from afar when we were there last summer. definitely a great add to the beautiful resorts in the country. i like tropical resorts over the grecian style but it’s still beautiful.
dude, i promise i’ll send you some pics pagbalik namin sa manila next month.
ganda!
if the food was that expensive, i’ll bring my own rice cooker, lots of instant noodles, and beef jerky…lol. the place really looks lovely. i wish i was there.
wow! parang greece ha…but i’d still like greece better! he! he!
i prefer the wood-type hotels, yung parang native. i love the inside of this hotel, pero yung labas, wala masayado charm for me. mas gsuto ko yung may pagka nature ang dating…wood, trees, water. but if someone would pay for me to go there, why not diba?
Russ: Oo nga. Can’t blame her though.
Dyosa: Buti ka pa. Kami kaya?
Docgelo: Welcome sir. Pang rich nga daw po. But then I hope they offer packages so more people can experience Bellarocca.
Yummybite: Sana kami rin yumaman na. Para kasing ang tagal
Dong Ho: Me too. But a resort like this is a great change, for variety ika nga.
Eks: Dude tagal mo nawala ah! Masyado kang nagpapayaman ah! Was Jessica with you in Bellarocca?
Kayni: Good thinking! With prices like that published, we’d have nothing left for food!
KG: Naku you should have been our cottage in Woodlands in Tagaytay Highlands. We felt like we were in Switzerland. Pines trees all over.
rico, please drop the sir, and the po. i’m only 33
