Treasures of Bolinao is a beach resort located in Baranggay Patar, in the northwestern part of Pangasinan. It overlooks the China Sea and boasts of golden white sand and crystal clear water in its beach. It is three hours away from Dagupan City, Pangasinan.

We had an overnight stay here over the weekend, to relax and have fun. We left home after lunch and arrived at the place just in time to have a quick stroll at the beach and view the sunset. The kids took no time to change and plunge into the water. When it was getting dark, they continued swimming in the pool inside the resort.

The pool is small. There was a wall dividing the kiddie from the adult pool. It was not so clean either as I could feel the sand on the floor whenever I stand.

Dinner was served at eight in the evening. The food was good but a bit expensive. I had a spa later in the night together with my husband.

Early the next morning, we strolled again along the beach and took lots of pictures. We found out that visitors continued to arrive until one in the morning. The hotel rooms were already full so they slept inside tents. The hotel owner couldn't just send them away as the place is located in a secluded area, a bit far from civilization. Hence, an ideal place for relaxation.
