Baler is the capital town of the province of Aurora (which used to be part of Quezon until it was separated in 1978).
It is the birthplace of Manuel Quezon, the 2nd president of the Philippines and the 1st President of the Philippine Commonwealth. Founded in 1609 by Franciscan missionaries Baler is also the last bastion of the Spaniards in the country.
Sharing here our 3D/2N stay in the beautiful town of Aurora Baler.
DAY 1
We left Manila at 5am made a breakfast stop at NLEX and reached Baler at about 11am.
The ride was uneventful and surprisingly easy.
As it was still early and check-in is not until 2pm, we decided have lunch at the "poblacion" and drop by Museo de Baler and Baler Church before heading to the resort.
Lunch was at Ai-Ai's Cafe and Resto.
This restaurant is conveniently located across Museo de Baler and the adjacent Quezon Park.
COSTA PACIFICA ~ Our home in Baler.
Hands down one of the best places to stay when in Baler is Costa Pacifica. This resort is owned by the family of the previous Senator Edgardo Angara. Located next to Sabang Beach, this resort is perfect for beach bums and surfing enthusiasts.
We got an Ocean View Room facing Sabang Beach. Sunrise and sunset view are to die for. The waves were pretty scarry though, which is expected of this quaint surfer town.
The room is clean with all the basics needed to enjoy a relaxing vacation. I love that is well lit and that it is literally steps away from the beach.
They gave me a mini-birthday cake which was a beautiful surprise.
My Birthday Dinner was at the Costa Pacifica Beach House. Prices is a bit steep, but overall, I think the price is worth it. There are other restaurants along the "Baywalk" so your options are open.
Yup, I think we over ordered...
We took a short stroll by the Baywalk to watch the subset and decided to call it early.
