Pamarta Bali Beach Resort in Bataan #DokTourTravels

Bataan is part of the Central Luzon region and is occupying mostly of the Bataan Peninsula in the Luzon region. Bataan played an important role in the history of the Philippines. I wouldn't discuss it here 'cos it might take lots of blog posts, instead let your history teachers enlighten you on that one. Ha! The province has an amazing history and culture and is rapidly becoming a tourist haven for vacationers and that made us wonder what is in store for us in Bataan.

We went to Pamarta Bali Beach Resort in Morong Bataan. The beach resort has an infinity pool and hotel for overnight staycations. The resort is an 8 out of 10 for me. I can say it's pwede na and the price is just right. Enjoy the photo diary! :)

Welcome to Pamarta Bali Beach Resort

The beach resort is really Bali-inspired

The beach resort also has a restaurant wherein you can buy your food in case you don't want to cook your own. The menu is really overwhelming like "name your food, we'll cook it". And in all fairness, the food really tastes excellent as if we were eating in a gourmet resto in Manila. We also brought crabs care of Jema! Yay!

Crabs! Putok Batok!

What I like about these crabs is that they really taste legit crabs. LoL! The aligue is my favorite and I can stand eating a bottle of it the whole day. Ha! Thanks Ate Jema!

Ultimate Sisig!

The foods we ordered were orgasmic! Sorry for the term! It was heavenly made for humans! Masarap! I would also like to commend the oatmeal cookies of ate Juvie! The oatmeal cookies were made at home and really tastes exceptional! Good for health-conscious people.

Oatmeal cookies by ate Juvie!

If you want to order oatmeal cookies from her, you may contact her thru her instagram account -- @mariecue. She's also baking calamansi muffins and more. "Name it, she'll bake it". Take that! Mention my name to her and ask for discounts! LoL! 

We then went island hopping. The sea is stormy that time and I'm afraid the boat will just give us up. Luckily, Noah tamed the seas and arrived at the island safe and sound.

We only stayed there for 10-15 minutes because the water is going down and the boat might get stuck. We then went to the Pawikan Beach Resort where you can find the Pawikan Hatchery and Conservation Center.

Welcome to Pawikan Beach Resort!

Hatchery! Lots of eggs inside

Big Pawikan!!

Philippines is home to lots of marine species and to these Pawikan. I read news before that Pawikans are now highly theatened due to poaching and other illegal activities. And so the local government of Bataan initiated the drive to conserve these little creatures and culture them. Kudos!

We then went snorkeling though the sea is a little wavy that afternoon. The spot where we snorkeled has few corals but I was happy because I was able to dive and took an underwater selfie with the corals. Beat that! LoL!
Pilita Corals! LoL!

The 4-hour drive from Manila to Bataan and back is worth it. We really had fun and the idea of being able to travel with your treasured friends is really awesome. We will surely return to this promising piece of heaven in Earth.
PIOLO -- Pucha! I only live once! :)

  3. This was on my short list of beaches to visit last summer. One main consideration is its proximity to Manila. Thanks for the review. Maybe we'll visit next year. :)
