When you search the word Medellin on Google, nothing about our own Medellin comes out on the first page. Rather, we see a page full of Colombian and Spanish information. The name Medellin\u00a0<\/em>stems out from our Spanish roots, which has a similar name to a village in Spain.<\/p>\n

Are you thinking of ruins, Spanish-built churches, and Spain-like villages? Of course, Medellin has all of those, too. But apart from it being historical, Medellin is known for its waters. It is located between Bogo and Daanbantayan so you know what\u00a0that means!<\/p>\n

Woody’s Beach Resort<\/h3>\n
The beach is one of the ultimate reasons why people\u00a0want to go to Medellin. The sand is white, pure and very fine, and it makes every goer a happy, sunkissed beach bum. Also, the beaches are not too crowded unlike some popular beach destinations in Cebu.<\/p>\n

There are plenty of beach resorts in Medellin, but this one is an easy pick. Woody’s Beach Resort is a resort that is walking distance from the amusing beach. Woody’s is not a big, fancy resort, but rather a humble one, but with all\u00a0the necessities you might need.<\/p>\n
Rooms<\/strong><\/p>\n

The rooms are fully furnished with aircon, beds, and other furniture. Not the best out there, but definitely liveable– clean, spacious and near the beach. The rates are pretty reasonable, too. There really is no reason not to pay a visit to Woody’s.<\/p>\n

Plus, the resort has a big swimming pool! Adding a man-made pool near the beach is always appreciated because it allows people to enjoy the water even if it is low tide.<\/p>\n
