We were lucky to be part of the exclusive guests of Punta Bulata White Beach Resort and Spa recently courtesy of Havaianas. It was my first time to visit the resort and I was quite impressed.
Located in the Municipality of Cauayan in Southern Negros Occidental, Punta Bulata should be on your list of resorts to visit if you are looking for an exclusive and private hideaway in Negros Island.
We were billeted at Room 2A at the Ayu Spa and I think we had one of the best rooms. We had a beautiful view of the garden, pool and the sea.and a very spacious bathroom too! Just outside our room was a small receiving area with a balcony which was also a good spot for relaxation.
The resort has a long stretch of white sand where you can take a leisurely walk in the morning and during late afternoon. The sunset overlooking Sulu Sea can be quite romantic too. Swimming is one of the activities you can do either at the beach or at the infinity pool. For the adventurous, you can visit Danjugan Island which is only 10 minutes away by boat from Punta Bulata.
Because of its location, you can have the privacy you long for at Punta Bulata. They have different room accommodations depending on your preference. They have the hotel spa rooms, cabana, family suites, aircon van – all scattered in different locations around the resort.
Going there, the first challenge you’ll have to hurdle is the travel time. Punta Bulata is 154 km from Bacolod City of roughly 3 hours of travel. If you are traveling with a group, you can hire a vehicle from Bacolod City. But if you are the backpacker type, you can take the Ceres bus. The resort is still 4 kilometers away from the highway so you have to take a tricycle from the crossing. Make sure you tell the driver you are going to Punta Bulata so he’ll know where to drop you off.
Punta Bulata is a exclusive resort so you can expect the rates to be a little higher that the usual resorts. I personally suggest the hotel spa rooms because of their spacious rooms and bathrooms. Because of its distance from Bacolod, a 3D 2N stay would be ideal so you can really explore the place and try their services such as the spa.
