Ah! Hotel Accommodation is quite pricey here.
My friend found a hotel with dormitory which is good if you are traveling alone.

You may want advance reservation.
We were here after New Year and it was jam packed with people.
Our friend manage to book us a room for P3500 which is AC good for two.

There are a lot of activities that you can do here aside from beach combing,
sunset watching and doing nothing.
