Reminiscing my Puerto del Sol experience

Its mid-Summer season already and I have not yet gone to the beach. I guess summer's coming in late for me this year. Hmm, can't wait to go to the beach!

In the mean time, let me share my summerscapade at Puerto Del Sol from last year. Good thing I was able to find some pictures stored here in my PC.

Puerto Del Sol is located in Pangasinan I think it's about 5 hour drive from Manila. Road going to the resort as I recall is not as friendly as I expected it to be, there are lots of uncemented areas and small streets that you need to pass before you reach the place. The resort itself is Awesome! As most beaches in the area, it has fine white sand and clear blue water ( although water on the beach is knee high only during low tide so obviously it's not conducive for swimming). And what I love most about the place is that it's not as crowded as the beaches in Batangas or Boracay. You can feel the exclusivity of the place and you can really relax as much as you please. The resort also serves good food and offers some recreational facilities like billiards, tennis and badminton courts and some others. It also has a jacuzzi and a swimming pool.

My Hundred Island Adventure

Is there a better way to spend your weekend holiday than going out of town with friends? Not to mention to get free meals, board and lodging and special treatments courtesy our dear freind's boss who's been so generous showing us around!

For all the outdoor ethusiasts, you should't miss to explore Pangasinan's Hundred Islands. There are lot's of things to do than just island hop. Try their Milkfish dishes and it will get you crave for more! Have a videoke night and sing your heart out while watching the fireflies dance around in the islands. You can also visit old churches, grab some pasalubong in the public market or just have a road trip along the streets and see some old houses that dated way back the Spanish era. Of course, you shouldn't head home and let pass sunbathing in the island of your choice once you're here. Water sports wouldn't be that much of an attraction here but snorkling will be a good alternative!


The Cathedral cave- One of the few caves in the Island. Wonder why it was called such?


Clear blue water of the islands...

Beach Time!!! ( Verde Island )

Can you feel the heat??? I do, but who's complaining??? I don't!
I love summer. I love the beach and all the cool breeze on the shore at night...

Firt Stop, Verde Island...
After a long road from Manila to Batangas, an hour ferry ride, we are finally here.


Alas!




Verde's Infinity pool is big enough to accomodate to start a touchball game among freinds..




relaxing on the coral shore... Fresh air at last!A view from the restaurant...and to wrap up the day, a ride in a glass bottom boat....
Verde Island also offer other water sports such as jet-ski, speedboating, diving and much more. My rating for this trip, 4 stars!
