Laura Seafront Resort (Cadiz City)

Just a few miles from the city proper of Cadiz, you will find Laura Seafront Resort – one of the resorts that people can go to when visiting Cadiz City, Negros Occidental.

The resort holds a view of the Visayan Sea, and apparently a faint view of Cebu Island in the distance. Specifically located in Daga, about 4 kilometers from the city proper, it doesn't boast of white sand shores or clear sapphire waters. It is simply an average shoreline of the usual-colored sand and the usual-colored waters.

it was high tide after lunch

However, it is one of the popular places to visit when in the area. You can relax in their restaurant that overlooks the sea – the sounds of the waves rushing in and the strong sea breeze blowing on your face – you can't beat that.

half of the restaurant area

The restaurant, however, is just a simple place made of concrete that's colorfully painted with simple chairs and tables. They have a "videoke machine" that is pay-per-song – a song is about 5 pesos, and you drop it in, and the song becomes available for you to sing along with.                  

                                                                                                                                                    It serves coffee, sodas, chips, and other simple foods that you may want to have.

                                                                                                                                                   They have aircon rooms at 500 pesos per night – a great deal actually, considering that it is already air conditioned. They have function halls too which can serve as venues for seminars or conferences.

the junior Olympic-sized pool

If you're just there to have a good time, they have two pools. A junior Olympic-sized pool and a kiddie's pool; they also have a tennis court if swimming isn't your thing. Fees for swimming are 40 pesos for adults and 25 pesos for children.                 

they had bird houses and doves
flying all over the place :)

Aside from these, they have huts where you can stay for the day that are adjacent to the restaurant, thus, the same view of the Visayan Sea and Cebu Island.

So, where's the ship? ;)

The place is interestingly designed and decorated too as it is filled with colorful flags, some stone structures, and some nautical objects that were painted colorfully. In fact, about 25% of the guest were foreigners (Caucasians mostly) when I went there.

Even he is happy... :)

Overall, it is a second class resort, as Cadiz City is not yet as developed and progressive as the other bigger cities.  The rates are a good deal, and the people (staff and personnel) are friendly and accommodating. Great deal, nice people, equates to a nice time.
