Continued from The Punta Bulata experience: Going there

After we settled reservation matters with the resort manager, we headed to our chosen accommodation, the Beach Casita (Php4,800/day or US $180/day for 6 persons) since it has a kitchenette for cooking (too bad there’s no ref) and is situated in an isolated part of the resort which was what we really wanted. An added bonus is that the house is just few meters away from the beach. It has two air-conditioned bedrooms (though not so spacious) with two single beds provided with beddings. Beside the dining area, there are two additional beds as well.

After lunch, we lost no time exploring the resort, walking barefoot on the white sand and taking a plunge in the clear blue waters. The rough and worrisome ride on our way to the resort was worth it after all.

The resort has many types of accommodation for couples, families and groups. There’s the cabana, family suite, hillside room, turtle van, aircon tent and other rooms scattered around the area. The hotel spa rooms are nature-inspired with spacious bathrooms.

The next day was spent with more time soaking ourselves in the sea while Mom had her body spa (she can’t stop telling us how thorough and relaxing it was). We didn’t want to come out from the waters and even kidded ourselves about staying for another day.

Even my cute little niece baby C had fun splashing in the sea water and crawling on the sand. It was actually her first taste of the sea and the sand. Aside from the happy memories of Punta Bulata, we also got ourselves some souvenirs - a cupful of white sand, few smooth rocks and stones, some pretty shells and itchy sunburns.
