Barangay Day-asan, dubbed as the Little Venice of Surigao City, is fast becoming a tourist destination because of some developments and promotional attention given in this coastal rural community.
Earth School Earth School
Barangay Day-asan is about 30 minutes drive from the city proper with transport terminals located at Pier 2. Fare is P15.00.
The floating village is composed of timber houses built along the shallow waters with the entire neighborhood connected with thin bridges. The fisher folks make a living out of fishing and mariculture activities that includes raising first class fishes like the mouth-watering groupers and lobsters. Simply watching them swimming around is already an enjoyable experience. You can’t help drooling over while looking at their delectable healthiness.

Daydream Laguna Resort and Teppinyaki Restaurant defies the simple image of the place by adding beauty and color to the floating village. Its grandiose tropical architecture contrasts the simple abode and humble lifestyle of the villagers. It simply puts Barangay Day-asan on the map as the residence of this reputed classy resort in town. Now it sets the trend as more and more investors ventured in putting up resorts in the area.
Before the guests can actually reach the resort, they will be served with a prelude of exciting adventure as they are transported by boat traversing the still waters from the wharf to the resort.

I've been to Venice in 2002. It is built on water. Sadly, I have not been to Day-asan.

What a glorious looking resort!
I have actually heard of this resort before and long to see it in real life. The architecture looks stunning and what an experience it would be to travel in by boat. I find the Phillopino people so hospitable and friendly and am sure that this would be a perfect place for a holiday with a difference.

Yes the DAYDREAM LAGUNA RESORT is a very interesting place i have not actually been there yet but maybe soon. I've only seen pictures yet it is still an amazement especially because it was all build with no plans , just all made with Lydia's mind. AND THANK-YOU FOR LEAVING SUCH KIND COMMENTS.
Tia Bullivant, Daughter of Lydia.

I was amazed by its expensive simplicity and the mouth-watery dishes made you forget and even not realize that your still in Philippines.Indeed, a little-venice-of-surigao. A comfy place for honeymooners that sure stimulates they tremendous sexual urges and nearly can give birth to twins....

kung bibigyan lang ng suporta ng pamahalaan na makagamit tayo ng mga indigenous material,at bigyan lang ito ng tamang pagpapaliwanag,malamang na kilalanin tayo sa buong mundo,dahil marami tayong material na magagamit mismo sa sarili nating kalugaran..bilib ako!earth school!
mabuhay! hehehe parang si gma lang ah na nag-i-speech.
anyhows, kahit walang suporta ayos lang. basta sama sama tayong gumawa ng low-cost housing projects na gaya nito.
ganda ng resort na yan. tapos mura pa.
natutuwa din ako sa paaralan kasi medyo unique yung shape nya. siguradong enjoy ang mga estudyante dyan.
sana panatilihing malinis ang lugar nila. may ganyan din sa dagupan. the island is pugaro.
dong anong mura... ang mahal kaya. entrance pa lang 500 na. hehe. may complimentary drinks naman.
wow. if it is compared to venice, then it must be great.
ayos na naman ang malibot na si islander.
i'm more curious of seeing those schools.
good thing that you've added back the commenter identity options!
@lawstude.. buti nalang malibot. unang basa ko kasi malibog. haha. it is compared to venice kasi daw they are both built on water. hehe.
@estan.. lingaw sya tan-awon bai.
yup, i dont want to miss those comments to i bring them back. memories are precious as always. good memories that is.
i love the last shot!
so serene!
@levi.. thank you. your observation is indeed true.
I really miss Mindanao....
We went there in 1997
for the National Press conference coz I am a writer wannabe that time....
Anyways, It was a very beautiful place. Cagayan de Oro, Oroqueta, Tangub---the contest location. We dropped by Iligan on our way back to Manila.
The whole place was full of coconut
even in the Mountains. When we were in the ship back to Manila. I saw the bay and all you can see is coconut in all directions.I love it!!!!!
And you Islander always remind me of Mindanao...I miss it.
Nice resort. :p
@salingpusa.. no wonder you do good in your blog writings. technically and all that. so thats why.. youre part of the nspc before pala.
