Jomabo is a small island off the coast of Escalante which is about an hour’s drive from Bacolod. There were six of us who ventured to this tiny piece of paradise – a haven of deep blue waters and white sand. We got there via a motorboat and stayed overnight in one the ‘satellite’ huts which extend to the sea and surrounded by the waters when the tide is high.
