^sis, nagpunta kame sa Punta Bulata nung Aug.20-21. nagustuhan namin yung place, malayo lang talaga ang byahe. may 2 options ka (1) non-ac bus byaheng bacolod-hinobaan/punta bulata 4-5hrs travel time OR (2) aircon bus byaheng bacolod-kabankalan 2.5hrs travel time, sakay uli ng non-ac bus byaheng kabankalan to hinobaan/punta bulata 1hr travel time.

kasi kame option 1 inabot kame ng 5hrs pero nakaupo kame the whole time. pauwi puno na yung hinobaan-bacolod non-ac bus, kaya bumaba kame sa kabankalan at sumakay ng ac bus to bacolod. hindi mahirap ang transpo kasi laging may bus, madami lang talaga ang sumasakay. sakto pa na peak time nung sumakay kame kaya tayuan na kahit 2-3 bayan palang ang nadaanan ng bus from hinobaan to punta bulata. along the way to kabankalan nadadagdagan pa ang pasahero.

naku humaba na ang kwento ko, basta kahit malayo ang byahe worth it yun kasi maganda ang tanawin at mababait ang mga ilonggo talaga! gusto din namin bumalik dun pag nagka-promo uli. september pala may travel fair, andun ang staff ng Punta Bulata. :)

it's nice to see lots of good reviews of Bacolod. The city i love and live in.  Let me know if any of you girls need any help or info. I'd be more than happy to help you girls out.

@sis ayionick... di ba you're the friend of Chris? you went back talaga ha. :)

^yes, i'm chris' friend. oo, bumalik kame at nanghatak pa ng iba! food trip lang kasi ang nagawa namin nung masskara festival 2010, kung saan-saan kasi kame dinala ni chris. this time food trip at nature trip naman. kaso di pa din kame natuloy sa mambukal, tinamad yung mga kasama namin kaya babalik uli kame sana next year. :)

next time north naman ang pupuntahan namin, carbin reef! or babalik kame sa south, di kame natuloy sa danjugan kasi maalon daw. baka may alam kang murang lodging at tour sa danjugan? mejo mahal kasi sa punta bulata, pero talagang maganda dun. if money permits, we'll go back there again.

@sis ayionick ... buti naman at tinour kayo ni Chris ng husto. hehe. dapat pag nag carbin reef kayo summer. kase pag rainy season nawawala na yung sandbar. nothing special naman dun. but parang sarap [textspeak!] ng feeling that you're in the middle of the ocean.

yeah sarap mag vacation sa punta bulata. when we went there, we got the corner room on the 2nd floor. There's a resort right beside Punta Bulata called El Tzino na super mura ang accommodations compared to Punta Bulata. Just look them up in facebook.

^ah oo nga, nakita namin yung El Tzino nung naglakad-lakad kame. sige icheck ko yan. nakita ko nga sa multiply mo na ilang beses na kayo nag-Punta Bulata. we got the room beside the corner room on the 2nd floor, ok din naman kaso mas maganda nga talaga yung corner. do you also know or heard of El from Kabankalan? kumanta sya the night when we were there, pag madami daw guests sa resort pinapag-perform sya dun. he sounds like jason mraz, isa sa magandang experience namin sa punta bulata hehe.

^I haven't heard of El from Kabankalan. but there are lots of independent artists here in Negros who sound really good. :)

Yeah check El Tzino. :) I used to go Punta Bulata everytime may Summer Party dun. It's a weekend of non-stop party kase. hehe. But the last time i was in Punta Bulata was back in 2010 pa.

And can you believe that i havent gone to The Ruins yet? Lol.

^i actually believe that. kasi si chris hindi alam kung paano papunta sa Punta Bulata. mas alam ko pa kung paano pasikot-sikot jan using public transpo kesa sa kanya. :)

based sa kwento nyo, mukang maganda nga sa Punta Bulata. Parang gusto kong i try kaya lang baka kapusin kami sa time. Nov. 22 ang dating namin sa Iloilo, plano namin mag overnight sa Guimaras then punta na ng Bacolod ng Nov. 23 ng hapon, kung pupunta kami kinabukasan sa Punta BUlata then overnight tapos flight namin is Nov 25 ng 10am, parang ngarag naman sa byahe di ba? mukhang di namin hehe

^napatingin ako sa map nung nabasa ko ito hehe! yung iloilo/guimaras nasa bandang north ng negros island, so malapit nga sa bacolod. kaso lang yung punta bulata nasa south, mas malapit sa dumaguete. kung gusto nyo magbeach pwede nyo i-try ang carbin reef kaso wala masyadong magagawa dun at di pwede overnight. nasa sagay ito, north part din.

@tammy1979 ... actually di nyo na talaga kakayanin but if pipilitin nyo mukhang ngarag talaga kayo sa biyahe.  if you wanna experience the beaches in Negros, you can go to Lakawon (1.5hours away) from Bacolod lang.  Pwede din mag overnight dun   .  You may want to go to Lakawon for a day trip lang and enjoy the food of Bacolod the rest of your trip. :)

^Sis, we would usually rent a van from the North Terminal.  But i think if you'll commute, bus lang going to Cadiz then tricycle na papasok sa Cadiz Viejo and to the mini port of pump boats going to Lakawon Island.

sis ayionick..hmmmm...napaisip tuloy ako sa sinabi mo na malapit sa Dumaguete ang Punta Bulata hehe..kasi next year, we're planning to go to Siquijor, baka pwedeng maisingit yang Punta Bulata since Dumaguete naman ang entry point ng Siquijor di ba?? wala akong kaharap na map, pero mapapa-North to South na naman ba tong naiisip ko? hehe...

^actually from Punta Bulata it will take around a couple of hours to get to Negros Oriental.  Sis Ayionick said na malapit sya kase dun sa Kabankalan parang there's a crossroad.  One road leads to Negros Oriental via Mabinay, the other road leads to Ilog, Sipalay, Hinobaan, and Cauayan. :)

tama si hoopchick, from dumaguete you'll take ac bus to kabankalan then ride another bus to hinobaan. that'll take around 1hr from kabankalan to punta bulata kasi non-ac bus, mas mabilis yung ac bus nila pero bihira daw yun.

pero kung puro byahe lang ang gagawin nyo baka di kayo mag-enjoy. overnight is also tiring. better if you can spend at least 2 nights sa punta bulata para may time to rest and enjoy the place. tapos sa bacolod airport na kayo pauwi, food trip sa last day nyo. :)
