Puerto Galera

Oct 30 to Nov 1, 2008

My first kalakat for the year with my family, Puerto Galera in this season?....hehehehe...since it was really hot in the metro, we decided to go to the beach...I was choosing between Puerto or just in nearby Batangas. But I told myself, what a heck...why not Puerto since I have not gone there yet...the Poor Man's Boracay and since it is more expensive if we go to Boracay, we settled for Puerto Galera!!! I did some research in the net to get some info about PG (Puerto Galera) and where to stay...my criteria was that it should have a swimming pool (because I am not so sure if my 2 kids will go near the shore...this will be their second time...the first was in our province and they did not have a good experience because of big waves...they are really afraid) and near the beach...If you're going to PG, there are so many beaches to choose from...they have white beach, sabang beach, coco beach, and so many others....just google it...After few days of searching in the net and reading reviews....I decided to have our reservation at the La Solana Suites and Resorts in White Beach, Puerto Galera...It was not really expensive and it is just about 3 to 5 mins walk to the beach and they do have traysiservice if you're lazy to walk...They do have kiddie pool as well as adult pool. The staffs of the resort were friendly and accommodating. If you don't like to eat in their resto, you can go to beach...there are so many restos and ihaw ihaw. There are also bars available in white beach...they have shows every friday and saturday nights. there is a branch of Tia Maria's there...but we're not able to eat in there as it was already full when we go there on our last night...

Btw, the boat ride was smooth for about 1 and 1/2 hours.

So far, so good...We did enjoy our first time in PG...Definitely, coming back....^_^
