In September 2009 I made my second trip to Naval Biliran. It was typhoon season so I didn’t see the blue skies of my first visit. Instead this time it was overcast and a rained at least part of everyday. (Note to self: next time stay home in the storm season) We had a pretty good time anyway we arrived in Naval in the lull between two typhoons. Most of the typhoons turn north to the east of Samar and usually just dump rain in the Eastern Visayas. This was one of those times fortunately for us.
On our first stay in Naval we stayed at Marvin’s seaside resort. Due to the sea being rough and the fact that Marvin’s hosed up our reservation we stayed at another resort this time. The Biliran Garden. This is located a little way up the mountain from Naval just off the road that crosses the island. It is indeed a garden. The grounds are well maintained and have a variety of plants and flowers. The room rates are quite reasonable. It has two swimming pools. (I didn’t want to swim in the storm so we didn’t try them) The resturant had a good variety on the menu. They were out of lettuce but the resturant staff got pretty good at crafting salads for me out of what was available. 
The resort area was quiet and restful. I took several walks around the area in between the rain. We enjoyed our time there very much. So I would definitely recommend either of these resorts if you plan a stay in Naval. They offer a good contrast depending on what type of atmosphere you prefer.
We also walked around the town a little more and took some pictures. We paid a visit to the Provincial Capitol which is along the highway. They were having their town fiesta while we were there. There was a parade which we didn’t get to see much of because we were trying to get up the hill to check in. Due to the stormy weather not too many other outside activities were occurring. I will be back to Naval again. It seems like a nice place to kick back and relax. 
Hi tom,
How much is the cottage rent at Marvin’s seaside resort?
Hi,
Sorry for the slow response. They don’t have separate cabins there. The room rates vary between P500 and P1500 on the ocean side of the resort. They also have some family rooms on the pool side which is directly across the street. The P1500 was a nice room with a ref and a very nice ocean view.
