Dakak Park Beach Resort, hotel in Dapitan City
Dakak Park Beach Resort is a beachside property in Dipolog covering about 15 hectares of land with white sandy shores, gardens, and trees. The resort features multiple pools including one with a hot tub, several dining options serving local and international food, and rooms designed with bamboo construction and capiz shell decorations.
The resort was founded by Romeo Jalosjos, a businessman and former regional representative, and has long served as a getaway for families from across Mindanao. Dapitan City, where Dakak is located, holds historical importance as the place where Jose Rizal spent part of his exile as a national hero of the Philippines.
The name Dakak comes from the local language and refers to the coast or beach. Walking through the resort, you notice a mix of architectural styles, including a Chinese-style temple structure alongside buildings inspired by local Zamboanga traditions, showing how different cultures have shaped this place.
The nearest airport is in Dipolog City with daily flights from Manila or Cebu, making it easy to plan a visit. You can also arrive by boat from Cebu or Dumaguete, or drive from nearby cities like Cagayan de Oro, and the resort offers day-trip rates that are more affordable if you arrive later in the afternoon.
The resort is home to the country's longest dual zipline located in the Dakak Adventure Zone, offering a thrilling experience for visitors seeking adrenaline. Some of the architectural elements and facilities feel older or less polished compared to newer resorts, giving the place a more rustic and unpretentious character.
