A Water Under The Cave of Enchated Cave in Bolinao, Pangasinan

This is the best tourist destination in Bolinao, Pangasinan located at the tip most of the province. A nice underwater adveture and the cave pool is refreshing but during peak  season the are is so much crowded of many people. They have a wide open parking space for the guest. I entered that compound and greeted by huge coral rock formation and almost fossilized remains of giant clams but sad to say the coral was already dead.  Also, they have a mini water falls at the side of the area. It's so gorgeous and you'll bet it's enchanted.

Entrance Fee - Php 90

Swimming (including entrance fee)  - Php 120

Parking Fee for Bus - Php 50 , Mini Bus - Php 40, Cars - Php30, Tricycle - Php 20 & Single Motorcycle - Php 10.

Arriving at Enchanted Cave of Bolinao in Pangasinan

About 2 kilometers away from Wonderful Cave, this famous cave pursue me to visit the place. Upon entering the area, there will be an entrance fee to be collected and I was greeted by the owner of the cave. There will be a few steps up to the entrance of the cave but first thing I do is to take photos at their ark sign of " Enchanted Cave". I'm very much excited to witness the coral rock formation and crystal clear blue water of the cave, it was so much inviting because inside the cave, it was so humid  The whole area of the cave was below seawater. Amazingly! Be careful of the sharp rocks and the water looks shallow but it's really very deep that you can also dive around 6-7 feet high as per caretaker. There has a rope along the edges of the cave so you can enjoy and swim even if your not the best swimmer. It's worth the entrance fee I paid and the effort of going down and going out of the Enchanted Cave of Bolinao. Only in Pangasinan!

The place is well-developed because of nice cottages, clean comfort rooms and there are lights on the cave. Definitely, you will miss half of your life if you came here and don't go for a swim.  Getting into the heart of the cave is much challenging but worth the effort as well. 

Trekking to Wonderful Cave of Bolinao in Pangasinan

From Puerto Del Sol Resort, I immediate proceed to other tourist attraction in the area. There are 3 caves in Bolinao namely Enchanted Cave, Wonderful Cave and Cindy Cave. But one of the accessible cave between this three are Enchanted Cave & Wonderful Cave which  is normally nearest cave along the national road of Patar. This privately-owned cave has an entrance fee of Php 50 pesos and experience the wonderful clear water. About 30 minutes walk from the national road, you will entering the rough road, tall coconut trees and rock formation along your way. Amazingly, the cave has its own electricity to provide lights in the cave. The cave has a low ceiling and above you will saw this coral rock formation. There are some children in the cave during my visit, the water was about waist high, so deep enough to swim but my guide tells me the history of the cave about 12th century old cave. Reminders: Pay your entrance fee before entering the cave, Drop your garbage in designating area/trash bin, Don't swim if you're drunk, No food, alcoholic drinks and smoking inside the cave - By the Management!

I really enjoyed my short stay here, it's really interesting cave with so much history, natural beauty of the area and I would highly recommend this to everyone.  

How to Get to Puerto Del Sol in Bolinao, Pangasinan

Going  to Puerto Del Sol from Manila:

On my opinion, it's nice to travel on weekdays because no much traffic towards the Alaminos, Anda and Bolinao. There are a lot of buses plying to Bolinao and Alaminos, but I choose Fivestar Bus in Pasay City located at the back of Winston Hotel along Tramo, Pasay City. Travel time is 7-8 hours and fare is Php. 469 pesos per person. The bus will take you to Bolinao with around 3 stop evers. Best time to travel is during night. Upon arriving at Bolinao Bus Terminal, proceed to tricyle terminal bound to Ilog Malino which cost you Php 10 pesos. This terminal is located infront of Saint James The Great Parish Church or Bolinao Church. Ask the driver to drop you off at the main gate of Puerto Del Sol Resort. Happy hassle free trip everyone.

Swimming Pool Area of Puerto Del Sol: One of the Best Resort in Bolinao

This is my first time here in Bolinao but one of my favorite resort is Puerto Del Sol located along Barangay Ilog Malino, Bolinao Pangasinan. They have kiddie pool, jacuzzi and main pool. The architecture design of the pool area is good, they are all black and white furniture. All of the materials used are native, classy, abaca and rattan or bamboo. I love this hanging rattan chair with the overlooking spot of the swimming pool. The garden is well-maintained and organized with table and chairs at the side of the pool. They have also floating bar and comfy bench. I also appreciate that there is a place that smoking is not allowed because I'm not a smoker.  For more infomation and reservation.

Thumbs Up to Puerto Del Sol in Bolinao, Pangasinan

The moment I arrived in the place I felt that it was worth it and I found the perfect view of the sea, so very relaxing. I love the Mediterranean inspired villas and their swimming pool area of the resort. The only people you'll see on the pool area are resorts. Unfortunately, I'm just a walk in guest that day. The place is very private but low wifi connection. Bad! One thing that I don't like in this resort is the grasses are everywhere that covers the beauty of white sand but the beach area is not to crowdy with people so you can say that the beach is all yours.   The sea front was cool since it was low tide that time I visited the place. There were other fun activities being offered by the resort but I don't have enough time to avail of them. They just need to improve their room facilities.This resort is accessible and its near town attractions like Enchated Cave, Cape Bolinao Light House, Bolinao Rock Formation, Wonderful Cave, Patar White Beach and other places around Barangay Patar. 

It is very peaceful and not too crowded but the resort is very strict on occupancy and no food from the outside is allowed. I ordered bicol express, 1 cup of rice and a glass of ice tea. The serving is good but maybe lessen their food price. So guys, I will definitely go back to this place next summer. A sure feast of senses which you would never want to stop taking photos of the beach front and pool area. Keep it up and Thanks Puerto Del Sol!
