I dream of...


A getaway... on a secluded and beautiful island. (I have to qualify, I mean secluded but not far away from the comforts of city life. Hahaha!)

Picture perfect!
I have never seen a picture of this place that was not picturesque. It seems that every angle is breathtaking, captivating and well, just beautiful.

Familiar?
My cousin told me that the whole island was modeled after Santorini, Greece. According to him the island is man made and I went, "WOW!" O.o. He also told me that they have excellent customer service and would do pretty much anything their guest asks them to. They also have tours, activities and a spa for guests.

Puerto Del Sol, Bolinao, Pangasinan - (picture heavy)

Those who follow me on Twitter would know that I have been away for 2 days and went to the beach. =) YAYYYY because it only started raining on our way home and not while we were still there.

Within the picturesque town of Bolinao is a highly exclusive and uniquely inspired seaside resort/hotel, which offers the ultimate in elegance, grace and detail - Puerto Del Sol. Majestic natural wonders, world-class accommodation and amenities, plus the warmth and friendliness of the service staff make Puerto del Sol the ideal destination for major relaxation.- description.

This is the first place we went to upon arriving! :P

The "patay gutom" (literally translates to dead hungry, it means extremely hungry however and given the fact that I am always hungry I am therefore a patay gutom).

Puerto Del Sol charges a corkage fee for food brought from outside. 
Their restaurant staff is very friendly and attentive. The food, especially the sea food is very fresh! Although I cannot comment on the taste because my taste buds are impaired at the moment due to a cold. 
 My only complaint was I got hungry way past midnight and their room service and restaurant closed at 10:00 PM. :(

 Dinner. :)

Will let the pictures below explain why I loved my stay here..

The pool. 

The villas on the side are also for rent. :)

We pretty much had the resort to ourselves because one of their staff told me that it was only 30% full.

One of the cottages called "KUBO".

 ermmm.. next picture please!

My sister, Enky chillaxing (chill+relaxing)


 Now let me show you the beach/sea shore pictures:

Everytime I want to take a picture my sisters pop out like a jack-in-a-box does. :p

So I took a walk alone.

It was so serene and peaceful. The waves were also very calm.
 




I read somewhere that this is where the white sand on the aquariums is from.
The sand here is fine and not rough. I actually plunged in but got itchy because I think I somehow met a jelly fish along the way. :p





I made it to the other resort's side so I went back home. 



I'm actually not a fan of the beach. I actually dread the though of being away from civilization but it's also nice to welcome change once in a while.

Crazy night swimming people. :/ 
And one would wonder why my sister has so many bathing suits with her. LOL!
Ermmm... >.<"
I promised Miss Tish that I would do an OOTD with this on so here is it. LOL! x)
I won this from her and Cocomo Beach Wear's giveaway. Thank you for this very sexy one piece!

I wanted to rest alone but they wouldn't let me. My mom or my sisters kept following me around.


More cam-whoring pictures. 

 Home bound! =)
with my sisters, Enky says we should call her Enky Love because she is lovable.
(She also turns into a liger when she's mad. :p)

We also drove by this light house.

 Mandatory cam whoring picture near the cliff!

The view is amazing! :) I think this is the China sea. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Overall, I would recommend Puerto Del Sol to anyone who wants to unwind and relax. The place is absolutely amazing! They also offer a variety of services and facilities. All of the staff members I met are friendly and helpful. 

The guard even caught me trying to sneak in to the beach at around midnight. :P He said I could walk but I shouldn't go to the water because there was no life guard on duty. (As if I will. It was pitch dark and FYI I never learned how to swim.) I was actually on a mission to look for a "shokoy" (merman) LOL! Kidding.. :P

Prices are rather steep but they offer discounts for off the peak season. Actually, I am not a fan of crowded places so I guess I will go back here seeing it's the only beach I have gone to and did not hate afterwards.
