Puerto del Sol | hidden gem of Bolinao, Pangasinan
00:59:00
Bolinao is the third class municipality in the province of Pangasinan, Philippines. Aside from our hundred islands tour in Alaminos we headed to Puerto del Sol, Bolinao. You can ride a van from Alaminos terminal bound to Bolinao and the fare is Php 50.00/person. Once you've arrived in Bolinao Terminal, hire a tricycle to get you to Puerto del Sol. The cost of our tricycle fare range to Php 200-250.00 and it is 30-35 mins away from the town proper.
The beautiful coconut trees of Puerto del Sol welcomes you when you arrived at the resort.We arrived in Puerto del Sol at 10:30am and we're too early for our check in time 12pm. The staff gave us a welcome drinks and lei. They are so very accommodating when it comes to their guest. And by the way, you have to deposit 2,000 for incidental charges but they'll return it on your checkout day. We left our things inside the front office lobby and roam around the facilities of the resort. The ambiance was so perfect and it makes me want to stay a little longer. I booked for Mansion Villa room for two persons and it cost Php 4,500.00 inclusive of breakfast, 1 hr kayaking or canoeing and other used of facilities.

Welcome to Puerto del Sol.
We check-in at 12nn and i'am so satisfied with our room, they have all the amenities we want.
Our room was simply but very elegant.
Inside our room. I love the style of the room because it is very cozy, you just feel like it's your home.
my favorite part of the resort is the infinity pool in sitio amore.
so lucky that we own the pool that day. Yes, very beautifuulllll!!
The beach area. It was super low-tide, you can walk along the shores.
The other pool that is near our room. It is 5-6 ft deep.
Time to swim with my turquoise floater that i bought in Trinoma.
Oh! You don't know how much i love my playground.
I always loved seeing beach cabanas with white fluffy pillows.
The view here is really amazing! Photo taken with my GoPro Hero 3.
Thanks to my boyfriend for taking this shot.
I badly want to stay here forever but the world is too big. I need to explore more of the unexplored.
That overlooking view of the beach while eating our delicious breakfast. Very amazing!
We choose to have Filipino breakfast tocino because we're going back to manila and it will took 7 hours travel from bolinao-manila so we need to full of tummy.
One of the best trip ever! even though we haven't visit the Bolinao Falls and other tourist spots here in Bolinao because of our budget. But there's always a next time. I really enjoyed every trip we had, i love how we are becoming adventurous every time we travel, we seek for new places, we explore and we love seeing god's beautiful creation. More adventures to come. Five years ago, i never picture my life the way it is now.
