“Solina Beach & Nature Resort strikes me as a promising escape in Carles, particularly for those drawn to the Gigantes Islands. The prospect of returning from island hopping to comfortable villas, with Ilonggo cuisine waiting, appeals to the traveler in me. It seems like a well-considered base for exploring this less-traveled corner of Iloilo.”
