Suggest a white beach resort with pool in Luzon

[greatauror28]

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).

22 pax and 15T budget.. white sand w/ pool.. mahirap yan sir..

meron sa laiya hindi nga lang white sand.. tsaka walang pool.. villa sulit resort.. google mo na lang.. 3K lang yung kubo nila w/ aircon na..

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.

How about the Hundred Islands?

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?

[rollyic]

punta na lang kayo sa morong bataan.
im sure marami kayong mapagpipilian na resort don.

Coral View Beach Resort, Morong Beach Resort, Hotel, Accommodations on Bataan Peninsula, Philippines

Di maganda beach sa morong. Puro bato.

O baka yung napuntahan ko lang.

[yebo]

morong and subic - dami sharks and jelly fish. see the going to subic thread, i also posted the warning there. kahit sa high end na anvaya cove may shark net na sila at may divers checking for jelly fish twice a day. e dun pa kaya sa cheap resorts, e di walang shark nets at jelly fish patrol.

[j_avonni]

You may check Caylabne Bay Resort in Ternate, Cavite. The sand is white (hindi lang orig) and there are two pools - one is kiddie.

Is it just me or what pero Bataan shoreline for me eh medyo delikado. Went to Montemar 4 years ago at may nakasabay kami na company na nag team building. Unfortunately, 1 of the employee got drowned pero na-rescue naman. Tsaka yun dagat nila parang nanghahatak. That was summer time ah.

Yes true. Even in Anawangin cove, dami rin nag-drown doon. Must be the strong undercurrent.

As for Morong, forget it. Black volcanic sand and practically dirty coastline. Di maganda doon.

Sa Munting Buhangin sa Nasugbu pwede magluto doon, Canyon Cove may malaking pool, di pwede luto, cream ang kulay ng buhangin, sa Pico De Loro, 2 bedroom condo unit ko for rent, pwede luto, kaso, hanggang 13 to 14 adults lang kasya, gray ang kulay ng buhangin, may 3 pools

puerto del sol beach resort, bolinao, pangasinan...

[rangeles]

Kabayan beach resort in Laiya, Batangas ang pasok sa requirements mo. 3 hours drive, Family cottages that allows cooking your own food, not so white beach and pool.

Thank you guys for the numerous replies

I've summarized them up and thoroughly checked their sites, and scoured for reviews online.
So far these are my verdict:

BOLINAO
puerto del sol - too expensive for my budget plus they are already booked for the dates i'm interested.
treasures of bolinao - nice but I don't think they allow cooking/bringing of food

LAIYA
villa sulit - no pool and cooking not allowed
kabayan resort - no pool

ZAMBALES
pundaquit luxury villa - small rooms, pricey when added up.
capones vista - ok sana for the price but not so much activities you can do

BATAAN
coral view - rocky beach is a big turn off for me
waterfront - inquired, most likely to get
sunset cove - no pool
camaya sands resort - still on the expansion phase,accepting day tour only

CAVITE
caylabne - doesn't allow food. not as nice as it used to be :sad:

NASUGBU
munting buhangin - no pool
canyon cove - been here 2x na already
pico de loro - nice but pricey

Resorts we've been to, and planned on skipping them to try others:
Canyon Cove 2x
Balai Isabel
Punto Miguel
some resort in Matabungkay

We're still on the search but keep posting your suggestions. I really appreciate it!

Same nung nakapunta ko ng Bagac long time ago, may "biglang" lalim yung dagat.
