A great day trip is to go to Carmen where there is a day resort called Jurassic. You can order food and beverage there and have it served to your own nipa hut that hovers over the water. Step off into the warm waters and snorkle and swim. Small bancas will take you for a tour up or down the coast for P20 or less. Whole resort is somewhat built into an old lava flow where huts are scattered around that you rent for the day. The facility has showers and I think provisions to stay the night in one of their small cottages. Disabled persons should not attempt to go here due to the stairs one must navigate to get to the water. Whole resort has unique concrete formed animals and other art all around the resort. Great place to take small kids and family. Recommend small children have flotation device while swimming. Fair snorkling with many types of tropical fish that one can see and identify. Can be a bit rough to swim on windy days.

Inland Resort: Best resort in Butuan

Inland Resort: Best resort in Butuan, Butuan

 Exportman Says:  Our family always stays at the Inland Resort while in Butuan. By far the best place to stay in Butuan. I have pretty much stayed at all the other hotels in Butuan over the years and nothing can compare to the Inland Resort for Western style accomidations and food. Great...

Big Joes: Good Music and Dancing

Probably one of the best night spots in Butuan would be Big Joes. I have heard some great bands there and the service is good. Like any night spot, it is loud but, you can go outside to the other areas of the club and have conversations without screeming in someone's ear.

Dress Code: Must wear shoes and be moderately dressed. Casual atmosphere.
