Lakawon is also called Llacaon, is a banana-shaped island off the coast of Cadiz in the northern portion of Negros Occidental. It is a white sand beach island that offers a lot of activities. While the Tawhai floating bar is just 5 minutes away from the island via pump boat. If you really want to go here just a booked a flight from Manila - Bacolod and ride a bus from North Bus terminal to Cadiz. It took us 1.5 hours to go here.

offers you a spectacular views of islets that surrounded by a lagoon.
THE INFINITY POOL
Yes, it was very stunning but you need to take the stairs going up. I'm so in love with the view, after all the long hours of travel, a bumpy tricycle ride here we are. I am so happy that we've finally made it here. I can spent hours just looking at the view. It makes me wanna cry, can't imagine myself being here.
