[Balesin Island#1] Come Away With Me to a Balesin Escape

By

Everything was deliciously fried– fried fish galore, the rice was mostly hard as if it was yesterday’s leftover rice (yeah, it should have been made sinangag), the fried squid was as hard as stone, the soup was always oily, vegetables were tired, and the proudly made Balesin brownies have burned bottoms. … Just a word of caution on estimated hours of travel in any of the published marketing websites of these kinds of resorts: Always add + 1 hour to their estimated times because the quoted estimates are always based on ideal conditions driving at night when there is no traffic or when the waves are calm. … Since I like long driving, we decided to drive all the way to the Atimonan port (180kms away from Manila) so we were able to save on our 3 days/ 2 nights package which cost for us P7,000/head.
