Opol beach late afternoon, showing people bathing. One holds a skim board. This beach in Opol is host to Roan Beach Resort, Ajis Beach Resort, Apple Tree Resort and others.

Webmaster's comment Like many places in the Philippines, Misamis Oriental is endowed with springs, brooks, rivers and beaches. Resort restaurants and a few hotels have sprouted near these sites.

Webmaster's comment When scouting for beaches, ask if the management owns a clean bathroom. Many bathrooms are small, dark, dirty, and may not have toilet paper. One of the beach resorts in Opol used to have a pleasant set of spacious, roofless bathrooms. But recently, two large water tanks have been installed above them.

Webmaster's comment Be wary of hotels that do not use tempered glass for their sliding doors, windows and tables. The Department of Tourism guideline for hotel accreditation does not mention tempered glass. In April 2012, a four-year-old child incurred tiny, bleeding cuts on his forehead when he accidentally bumped a sliding door near a swim pool. The glass was not tempered.
