Then its a quick snorkel of the lovely reef before breakfast of homemade breads, muesli and fresh fruits, on the balcony over-looking the sea. Afterwards its a trip to a secret island cove or cave for more snorkeling and exploring, or a guided rain forest hike, followed by MIRA's famous lunch in the open dining space, surrounded by a jungle garden. Party style candlelight dinners are in front of the evening beach fire inches from the water, playing guitar, singing, patting the dogs and keeping an eye out of turtles laying eggs or baby turtles hatching on the beach. Participation is encouraged in the MIRA kitchen with vegetarian food preparation, bread making and many other exotic mixtures. All this is part of your Adventure Health Spa Package, and with MIRA's very affordable treatments, therapies and tropical delights one never wants to leave.
Regular guests are common, and tears often roll when saying good-bye.
Malapacao Island is a gem and the resort is outstanding. It is not the place for the kind of people that want a swimming pool and room service but it is exactly what we were looking for. The cabins are open, airy, cheerful and immaculately clean. The cabins and all facets of the resort have many wonderful personal touches of the owner, she has taken great care in all details. Service is excellent.
