Features of Dimakya.
The 19-hectare (46.93-acre) Dimakya is truly blessed with nature's bounty. It prides of seven hundred meters of white talcum-soft sandy beaches which gently slope into the shimmering clear blue waters between Luzon Sea to the north and Sulu Sea from the south.

The island itself offers exotic wildlife such as the endangered species of the endemic Calamian deer, Palawan peacock, scaly anteater, monitor lizards and various rare birds including eagles which thrive on the dense forest.

The seas around Dimakya present an abundance of giant clams, sea sponges, huge coral beds, multitude of fish, and other marine creatures. The sea bed provides vast sea grass ground which makes it an ideal feeding area for the dugong or sea cow. In addition to this, the nearby Dimalanta Shipwreck, the wreck of World War II Japanese Kyokuzan Maru, also offers a very interesting site for divers on top of the other dive sites, each one offering an entirely different experience.

Club Paradise offers comfortable accommodations to its guests. All units have a spacious bed, a closet, a personal refrigerator, toilet and bathroom, a verandah and coffeemaker. Guests can choose between a standard "fan" and air conditioned cottage or room. Most of the cottages are provided with hammocks so that guests can laze and relax whenever they want to.

There are sixty (60) guest accommodation units which are divided into three phases according to their location.

Phase I, otherwise known as Sunset Beach, is where seventeen (17) beachfront "fan" cottages and three deluxe air-conditioned cottages are located. They are suited for single and double occupancy.

Phase II or the Sunrise Beach is where twelve (12) duplex-type and eight condominium type air-conditioned family cottages can be found. These family cottages can accommodate up to five persons comfortably.

The architecture of Phase I and II is a modern version of the Filipino hut or "bahay kubo". The simplicity of its interior is warm and breezy and is complemented with wooden floors and screened windows.

Phase III or the Island View Area, is where twenty (20) units of air-conditioned apartment-type rooms are situated. The apartment building is built on a hillside fronting the Island's natural lagoon.

Lying west of the Philippine mainland is the province of Palawan, an archipelago of 1,780 islands bordered by the South China Sea on the west and the Sulu Sea on the east. Club Noah - Isabelle quietly rests in its northeastern
region, on the main cove of Apulit Island in Taytay Bay.

Isabelle's cabanas are built above water and have verandahs that face out to sea. The cabanas are air-conditioned and are also equipped with ceiling fans for those who prefer the summer breeze.

Club Noah has a vision of nature and man living together in harmony. Isabelle , the first Club Noah -owned resort is designed to be a model-case for eco-tourism. With administrative authority over one mile radius of the island, Club Noah has slowly brought the reefs of Isabelle back to life. The presence of the grey reef egrets, the Palawan hornbill and the kingfisher attest to the abundance of fish in the water.

On land are playful otters and civets, and a rainbow of wild orchids color the black marble cliffs.

Just as Noah's ark became the last refuge for all living things in biblical times, it is Club Noah's vision that future generations will still bear witness to the marvels of nature and commune as one with them wherever there is a Club Noah resort.

ACCOMODATIONS:
30 cabanas ( maximum capacity: 3 ) line Isabelle's cove. More cabanas -- duplex-type split-levels -- extend towards the west beach (maximum capacity per rooms: 5 ) Each cabana is furnished with two "semi-double" beds. (They are actually custom-made and measure 122 cm. x 203cm.) Two more beds ( 102 cm. x 198 cm.) occupy the first landing of the duplex cabanas. These single beds are also available as extra beds.
