Hubby and I are booked for Puerto Del Sol from Feb 2-5. Ano kayang magandang activity? We wanted to go somewhere quiet and relaxing but I want to take the opportunity to do other things as well.

Kaya ba mag day trip to 100 islands?

Accessible ba to Lighthouse, and Caves ang Puerto del Sol?

Am also thinking of stopping in Manaog on our way back to Manila.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. TIA

late reply but i hope my post will still be helpful to the readers

Puerto del Sol is specifically located in Patar, Bolinao.  The long stretch of beach in Patar has various accommodations such as Punta Riviera, Puerto Del Sol, Bing's Beach Resort, Solomon's Beach (or something like that), Treasures of Bolinao, etc.  Along the way, you will pass by the 3 caves (Enchanted, Wonderful and Cindy's) and the viewing for Rock Formations.  Treasures of Bolinao is one of the farthest along Patar.  After Treasures of Bolinao is the Lighthouse and Patar Beach.

Bolinao is an hour and 45 minutes drive from Alaminos.  Coming from Manila, we first passed by Alaminos before Bolinao.  If you're having a vacation for 3d2n, you can pass by Hundred Islands first before chilling at Bolinao.

When we had our vacation at Bolinao, it was only a weekend/overnight stay.  So we only get to visit the St. James Church, Enchanted cave, lighthouse, Patar beach, rock formations and the Bolinao Falls.  The Bolinao falls is located about an hour drive from Patar.  I think its in Anda town.  St. James Church is in the city proper.  It is about 30-45mins ride from city to Patar.

hope this helps.  correct me if some info are wrong

^sis ang alam ko yung puerto del sol, punta riviera, villa carolina's ay sa ilog malino, bolinao. from alaminos, mauuna ang mga yan before yung mga nasa brgy. patar that includes Treasures of Bolinao. Sa Ilog Malino yung madalas low tide, while sa patar naman yung malakas ang alon lagi. mas maganda yung sand and beach sa patar

Thanks sa mga reply sis. We are in Bolinao right now going off to Alaminos for Hundred Island tour. We decided to stay the first 2 days sa resort lang. I must say that I really like the Jacuzzi at Perto del Sol. The water jet are really strong and it's big. Sulit hahaha and maganda pa rin ang landscaping within the resort.

The food is a bit expensive and average but big portions so okay na rin. As part of their conservation meaaures, you need to request towel and linen change but that's fine naman. No hassle

^^yup sis, korek.  along the way kasi ang mga yan going to Treasures of Bolinao, kumbaga madadaanan sila.  namali lang siguro ko ng name ng lugar, hehe

ay nabura yata post ko, pero I replied to your message na sis

[black_morena22]

^ nabasa ko na sis. salamat sa pag reply.. :-)

[tinapay]

^sis, sa treasures of Bolinao kami nag stay.  you may check my blog about it.  mga nasa 2,300 nagastos namin per person, 7 kami. kasya kaming 7 sa isang kwarto.  yung isa dun infant at yung isa naman dalaginding.  pero yung room kasi namin malaki, kasya pa 2 extra mattress good for 2 pax each.  e yung kama queen size ata un so kaysa 8 pax.  yung solomon kasi sa pagkakatanda ko walang aircon at common yung CR.  yung bing's resort mura din daw dun kaso mixed ang reviews na mga nabasa ko dun.  check mo na lang din blog ko.

[black_morena22]

thanks sis sa pagsagot. 650 yung bayad sa additional na tao di ba? so yung extra mattress libre na lang?

[tinapay]

yup, 650 nga ata.  alam ko [textspeak!] nang binayad sa extra mattress.

[maricar14]

Try mo sis Puerto Del Sol. They have what is called Bahay Kubo. I think 8 people would fit. Rooms are upstairs while dining table and chairs are downstairs.

me alam po ba kayong van for rent para sa tours from manila to pangasinan at pabalik? ano ba mas maganda mag bus nalang kami or rent kami ng van? sa holyweek kasi namin plan pumunta..

[matetreyes]

kung madami kayo at kaya naman mapuno ang van, magrent na lang kayo. at lest hawak nyo oras nyo. pag holy week kasi, GRABE ang buses papuntang pangasinan. as in. wala ako masabi. for almost 4 years lagi akong nababadtrip pag bumabyahe ng pangasinan ng holy week..

unang instance: was at victory liner at around 6pm, ang nakuha naming ticket ay 10pm na. kumusta naman

second: was at victory liner ng 7am. wala ng ticket. chance passenger kami. may nag-open na ordinary bus to alaminos, pinatos na namin. bigla nung nakasakay na kaim sinabi hanggang tarlac na lang daw pala sila. kumusta ulet??? so walang choice but bumaba sa siesta. after 3 hours na kami ulet nakasakay at standing pa. take note, u months preggy ako nun. at walang nagpa-upo sa akin. nakatayo ako sa gitna ng bus.

third: we tried five star in pasay. 6am nandun na kami. ang pila hanggang edsa na. walang ticket selling dun eh unlike sa victory. so kapag may dumating na bus, sakay, mababawasan ang pila. e every after 1 hour yata may dumadating. yung cheesecake na dala namin, literal na naging soup sa super tagal. nakasakay kami 2am

so this year, sabi ko kay hubby miyerkules pa lang bumili na ng ticket! hehe

[yikee]

hi sis i hope natuloy pa rin kayo sa bolinao?

hi sis.. yes natuloy kami summer last year and nag enjoy kami.. nag puerto del sol kami and ikot ikot sa lighthouse don  hopefully this year makabalik kami ng pangasinan

[matetreyes]

[hershey]

[be08]

mga sis, sino na po nakapag stay sa Villa Carolina Resort in Bolinao?maganda ba ang beach nila?

[bigdadis_girl]

success ang 2d/1n Bolinao trip namin.  napaka peaceful ng Bolinao, we stayed at treasures, ok naman ang  treasures, super bait staff and nice place though there are lot of things pa rin that needs improvement.  I also find their cottages expensive, oh well kulang kulang kasi sa amenities. for the price of 4-5k a night, no hot and cold shower, no toiletries (2sachets of shampoo na palmolive and 1 palmolive soap lang nasa restroom namin) no hair dryers, coffee/tea making facilities, no wifi inside the room, wifi at the main building has very weak signal, no tv.  their panoramic bridge was ruined by the recent typhoon, can't blame them, pero ok lang nakapaglakad at picture pa rin naman kame sa bridge kahit putol na yung half..  bumawi na lang kame sa beach, ang sarap mag prenup doon tahimik saka maganda talaga sa patar area.  I recommend booking sa mga inns sa Patar beach mismo, a lot cheaper than these resorts, mas enjoy naman sa beach pwede ka pa mag luto and ihaw ihaw.  we also met aling nida and dun kame lage kumakain sa la parola de bolinao, al fresco type restaurant sha na ang may ari yung anak ni aling nida, masarap saka mura.
