Potipot Island Candelaria , Zambales

After all the delay and problem happened we finally push through our trip to Zambales, honestly we don't know exactly where to go,we don't have any reservations or alike. But I tried to do some research regarding the best place and resorts in Zambales that's when i knew this blog site http://biyaherongbarat.com/category/biyaheng-zambales/ saying their good experience in Candelaria Zambales. When travelling ,its handy that you have a smart phone or tablets to use GPS for location, it keeps us from stopping and asking question from time to time.We do our stop over in Olonggapo to go to the market and buy things that we need.After a long drive we finally came in Candelaria, we went to the resort where the blogger biyaherongbarat stayed (because he said its cheap)in Puerto del Mar but we're so shocked with the price(of course we want to save money as much as we can) ,yeah we understand that they have entrance fee (P60 per head) and we also understand that they have parking fee (P200 overnight)but pinching a camping tent in the shore has a fee for P500 each??(we have two camping tent)that's ridiculous!overrated!Our first negotiation is to get one room for P1400(electric fan room)just to keep our things and were just going to sleep anywhere,maybe in an open cottage(which is very uncomfortable) but when we get to the part that the camping tent has fee,we walked out!.Thats when we discover Villa Valerio.
Our humble abode for P3500,no entrance fee,no parking fee and another good thing is,unlimited mangoes for FREE!who don't want that?HAHA
It has two bedrooms,one has aircondition and the other has eletricfan.
Clean bathroom,of course with clean water(not coming from the sea,hehe).
And a refrigerator to keep your foods fresh.(not including my friend)
Preparing our lunch,coz its almost noon when we arrived.
They has a griller but they dont have a gas stove but since we're ready we brought a denatured gas stove for cooking.If ever you doesn't have any utensils or cooking materials you can borrow from the owner but im not sure if it has a charge/fee.
Jamming and never ending picture taking while waiting for our food to be cooked,we're so ready we have beat box and a guitar.
Eating time!Sinigang na baboy and fried tilapia.
After we rest for many hours,we headed to the beach for our first dip!yiih!
Thats me and him, #SorrynotSorry
We enjoyed our first night.So the next day we get up early,cos we're so excited to go to Potipot Island,we rent a boat for P800 thats back and forth(14 persons).So this is our photos(bombarding mode),we did some activities during our stay in the island.We create two teams competing for best and most artistic sand castle,human pyramid and most tiring game we did is Agawan Base,crap!you need to drink all the water after the game(or its just me?haha Ill work on my cardio next time).
Personally,I enjoyed my stay in Zambales(to be honest this is the farthest place ive ever been into,shame on me!)and Im happy that for a long time my friends and I finally had a chance to travel coz its always stay as plan that never happen,so finally our best memories so far!,and sure we will be going back for more.So I hope all the infos that i share will help you if you have plans on going to Zambales.So Von Voyage!
