    Punta Riviera Resort: one place you shouldn’t miss in Bolinao

    It’s no news that Philippines has thousands of beautiful, tropical islands that local and tourists alike find really enchanted. Beyond all the beaches and resorts and natural beauty the country has to offer, another part of the culture we Filipinos are always proud of is our Pinoy food. And if there’s one local cuisine you should not miss, it is the cooking in Pangasinan. I recently had the chance to roam around one of Pangasinan’s towns, Bolinao, and from the moment that I stepped off my shuttle, I knew that I was going to love the place! Why? Because I knew we were staying in one of the famous villas in…

    The Hidden Jewel of the North: what to love about Boinao, Pangasinan

    Whenever I hear “Pangasinan” or any province somewhere North, I get super excited about the food. They just have this special skill in cooking that, in my personal opinion, really stands out. I am from the South, so I guarantee you no bias here. But I’m not here to compare two great, incomparable cuisine. In this article I’m going to share my super fun experience on both travel and food around Bolinao, Pangasinan.  Let me first thank Sundowners Vacation Villas, Bolinao Tourism, The PH Archipelago (and @traversephilippines), What To Eat PH, and of course Dodj Mallari for inviting me over for a 3-day trip around Bolinao! New here? Read this! Hey there! My name’s May and you…

    Sundowners Vacation Villas: one of the coolest Santorini-inspired vacation villas in PH!

    I’ve been seeing numbers of resorts and vacation houses inspired and actually feels like Santorini in Greece – white and clean, blue and relaxing, infinity pools overlooking the oceans, beautiful sunrises and sunsets. A perfect vacay for the family, friends or to be honest, an ideal get-away for solo travelers as well. One of these beautiful vacay houses is the Sundowners Vacation Villas in Bolinao. On this article, I’m sharing my first experience in Sundowners and why and how I fell in love with the place. It may look and sound luxurious and expensive, but really, all the spends are worth it. Thanks, Sundowners Vacation Villas, Bolinao Tourism, The PH…

    Fall deeper in love with pizzas and more at Ciao Pizzeria by the Sea in Sundowners Vacation Villas, Bolinao!

    The year’s finally ending and I know everybody’s already excited for the Christmas break. It’s just nice to chill and relax before the start of another year, right? And that super hayahay feeling of eating and drinking whatever you like while you’re in a heated jacuzzi, or beside a pretty pool, or by the sea. Okay, yeah, we need a break! Thankfully, just recently I have been invited to join a group of travel and lifestyle bloggers/vloggers to experience and enjoy Sundowners Bolinao. (Thanks again, Dodj!) We had a fun tour around the beautiful municipality of Bolinao and tried different yummy dishes from around the place and one of the…
