As the capital of Negros Oriental, Dumaguete City is also the perfect jump-off point to surroundin­g islands, towns and cities.

With its inviting, mystical charm, this city has even enthralled some of the visitors so much that a number of them have actually opted to stay behind and settle down.

Recently, one property developer was also charmed by this province and like its previous visitors, decided to put up a cozy resting place for souls whowould likewise fall for the same spell.
