2025 Dapitan Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in August)

Were you one of #legitdabarkads who grew up seeing the commercial of the resort in Eat Bulaga during 90s? Like me, did you ever dream of going to Dakak? I told myself I will have to visit it someday. And yes, I made that dream come true. Just like what the old ad said, Dakak Park and Beach Resort is indeed a paradise to enjoy.

• The pool water is very clean and does not give an oily feeling. • The kind and accommodating staff bring comfort to the place. • The food is great and affordable.

a historical town. Where Philippine national hero and martyr Dr. Jose Rizal was exiled. A clean, peaceful, and calm town. Locals are very friendly and peaceful. The town is charming. There is a bay, and a river. There are many historical markers in town. There's also a world class beach resort. Dakak. #historic

It was first week of this year, 2022 when me and my cousin decided to go on a road trip from Davao City to Pagadian City to Dipolog and our last stop was Dapitan City. Being there for two days was extra fun since we were able to visit different places and one of them is The Jose Rizal Shrine which is located at Dapitan City. The Jose Rizal Shrine was built to give honor to our National Hero, Jose P. Rizal. Getting inside the Shrine doesn't need an entrance fee however you need to pay environmental fee which is ₱15.00 per person and present your vaccination card (by that time) This place really brought me back to my gradeschool years where we study the life of Jose Rizal, and even in college when I took my Humanities Subject about the Life and Works of Rizal. The images that I saw in my gradeschool textbooks to my google-researched materials in college brings to life. I was able to see them physically for REAL!! The House of Rizal was there and all the things that Jose Rizal had was displayed there as memorabilia of his works. Everything there was nostalgic! That's why it is DAPITAN TO REMEMBER! #joseprizal #joserizal #dapitancity #joserizalMuseum

Seasonal Seafood Fiesta Buffet at Dakak Resort in Zamboanga del North is highly recommended. low cost and quality seafood dishes. #bucketlistreboot

A trip to history with Dr. Pio Valenzuela and Dr. Jose Rizal. Dr. Pio Valenzuela went to Dapitan City to convince Dr. Jose Rizal to support the revolution then being waged by the Katipunan, or the Kataas-taasan, Kagalang-galangang Katipunan ng mga anak ng Bayan (KKK), a revolutionary group formed for the Philippines to gain independence from Spain.

This was supposed to a class immersion but the whole stay was a staycation indeed! Thank you Dakak Resirt and Properties and Glorious Fantasyland! It was all worth it! #dakaksouthernparadise #gloriousfantasyland #industryimmersion
