Suggest a white beach resort with pool in Luzon

**greatauror28** · December 4th, 2013 07:54 AM

See, my wife and son are coming home to the PH for a near 1 month visit so we'd like to enjoy it as much as we can.

Now we are looking into booking an overnight resort with pool and beach around Luzon preferably within 5 hrs travel from Manila. Pagudpod and other northern places are out of scope.

Since it will be my whole, big family with their extended families we are all 18 adults plus 4 kids.
We don't need such a posh, 5-star (or 4-star) exclusive resorts because that also commands alot of moolah, and I don't have enough to start with.

Budget for the accomodation is up to P15,000 inclusive of entrance fee and overnight rooms. The cheaper the better.
We also plan on bringing in food, or if you could recommend a resort that does allow cooking of own's food.
Minor things like wifi access, cabled TVs, etc are not a necessity. We only need a comfy place to sleep during the night.

Let me know of your thoughts guy

What is a white beach resort?

White sand beach like boracay?
Hmmmn since pagudpud is out of the equation.

You are left with batangas, morong in bataan, subic, zambales.

May white sand beaches ba dun sa mga province na yun?

PJ, Bolinao will be your another option. Travel time will be around 6 hours with stop overs. You can do it in 5 hours non-stop. As for the places to stay there, Puerto Del Sol is the high end. But there are other resorts there that are cheaper than Puerto Del Sol. Just choose the resorts near Patar Beach.

And oh, Patar Beach has no entrance fee but you can rent a cottage there.

The only white beach i've encountered in Luzon was Potipot Island in Zambales and Cagbalete Island in Quezon (and it was very spartan when i went there many years ago). Kung family thing, might be better to look for a beach house in Bataan, or try La Union and Pangasinan.

Edit: Was also gonna suggest Puerto del Sol in Pangasinan (or the nearby resorts).

Bolinao is the best white beach I have seen in my many trips around Luzon that is around 5-6 hours away from Manila. We did stay at Puerto del Sol which has a nice pool and accommodations, however the beach is not as good and it is a short drive away from Patar beach where the white sands are. The nearest resort I know at Patar is Treasures of Bolinao. It has a pool but not as nice as Puerto del Sol. If you have a car, I think that won't be an issue.

Tip: If you want good cheap food, look for the carinderia on the right side of the church at Bolinao town proper.

How about the Hundred Islands?

You can visit a different beach (not powdery white though) everyday you are there.

pundaquit in san antonio zambales?
downside is it is a surfing beach, so kung non-swimmer ka dun ka lang sa tabi. kung may mga bata na makulit better keep a watchful eye. or just keep them in the pool. another downside is it is 2.5 km from the town proper, so kung meron ka gustong bilhin sa 7-11 sa gabi e malayo, and the road is not lighted. one more, the road is in disrepair but passable.
upside, it is only 3 hours from manila. it is a known tourist place. there are lots of resorts there for all types of budgets (like punta de uian, but that is very expensive and for me not worth the stiff prices they charge).

this is the newest. they allow cooking in the family room, but limited to max 10 pax per room. sila lang yata doon ang may pool and family room.

OT:

When I was snorkelling among these islands years ago, I found something rather odd at a depth of around 6 meters. An unopened bottle of Yakult, the cool waters kept it from spoiling.

Ok ka ba tiyan?
