Travel-Guide-Masamerey-Beach-Sual-Pangasinan

Pangasinan is most famous for the Hundred Islands National Park, the golden beach of Bolinao and more recently, the Cabongaoan Death Pool. This province up north is a popular choice for those who want to indulge in a quick weekend getaway or a short vacation, because of its proximity to Manila- just about five to six hours by bus.

If you aim to unravel the secret destinations of Pangasinan, it’s time you visit the coastal town of Sual, a first-class harbor municipality next to Alaminos.

Masamirey Cove Resort: A Sweet Escape to the Coastal Life

Masamirey-Cove-Resort-Pangasinan-Review

Yearning to punctuate the summer with an idyllic retreat, I, together with my boyfriend, set out on a trip to a sleepy town up north during the Independence Day long weekend. It wasn’t an easy journey, considering that it was just a 5-6 hour commute from Manila, but the paradise that we found waiting for us at the farthest end of Pangasinan made it all worth it. 

A Hidden Gem In Tagaytay: El Cocinero In La Bella Residences


Just when I thought I’ve had enough of Tagaytay, I’ve stumbled upon this charming restaurant that effortlessly transported me to the best of Europe all at once—Greece, Spain, and Italy.

I’m talking about El Cocinero by Chef Arnaldo, a secluded Spanish restaurant veiled inside La Bella Residences, a real-estate development, which prides itself as a “health and wellness haven,” at Barangay Neogan in Tagaytay City.

I visited the restaurant last summer with my family and we were happily surprised to find this off-the-grid dining destination, away from the chaotic side of Tagaytay. We were so drawn not only with the Mediterranean vibes and feels of the place but also with the food, bursting with authentic Spanish flavors! It’s a fusion like no other—cozy atmosphere plus flavorful food equals a truly good time.
