Wherever the Wheels Take Us..... 2017 (Part I: Abagatanen, Agno and Oldwoods By The Sea, Bani)

This year gave me the opportunity to explore new places and return to some of our favorite destinations. Despite hectic schedule, travelling will always be our favorite way to unwind, relax and discover new places and good food.

Such an awe to visit the following tourist spots: Abagatanen in Agno, Oldwoods by the Sea Resort in Bani, Baler and the most recent, Las Casas Filipinas De Acuzar in Bataan.

Abagatanen, Agno is a beach resort unknown to many. It is so virgin that only few people visit this place. The roads leading to this beach were already developed, but the resort and hotel industry is still thriving. The only decent resort that we can find is Juni's Beach Resort, and the rest are still catching up.

What I love about this beach is the absence of seaweeds, which are very common along the shores of Bolinao and Tondol Beach in Anda.

Its pristine waters are so inviting... You will definitely indulge to take a dip once you are there .

Agno is actually famous for its Umbrella Rock Formation,

however this paradise is another good reason why vacationists will choose this place to breathe fresh air. I always tell my friends: This is where the river meets the sea.

For 600 bucks, our kids had tons of fun! (P10.00 entrance, P20.00 parking fee and P500 for the cottage)

OLDWOODS BY THE SEA is a hotel/resort (with pool and restaurant) situated along the mountains of Bani in Pangasinan. It really lives up to its name: WOODS. Minutes before you reach the hotel, you will be passing along the lush woods, and might even wonder: tama ba dinadaanan ko?

Anyway, the hotel is intended for nature lovers. It resides amidst woods and overlooking another beach area, a cove actually which I forgot how it is called. But I tell you, it's another jaw dropping sight once you are up there.

View from the 13k worth of room...

Pool is really nice. It looks really clean!

What it feels like to be in the middle of the woods...

my brother-in-law and mu husband
feel na feel...

This is the veranda on their most expensive room. 13k plus. Well, the price says it all! I must say, sulit considering the view and the ambiance.

There's my nephew over there, who really enjoyed the hammock.

I think they have to reconsider the pricing of their meal... It's too pricey; probably because they are too far from the town. But still, the food is too overpriced to think that there's nothing special about its taste.. (nagreklamo pa hehehe)

If you want to enjoy this place, then you better start saving. The hotel rates do not include tax so it's gonna get higher, plus the meals really cost a lot.  We only did an ocular, so I couldn't say much about it. However, based on what I saw,  the place is okey for me, with very cordial and hospitable crew.
