BALER: Costa Pacifica Mornings in Full Color! @CostaPacificaPH

BALER Costa Pacifica Breakfast-54.jpg
Mornings in Costa Pacifica are the best. There's the awesome view of
the sunrise that unfolds in front of you, whether you're in your room or
in the pool. Then there's the delicious breakfast of binaliktad na dilis and Baler longganisa with garlic rice and egg, and suman with peanut butter and coco jam for dessert, to look forward to. :)


Check out this photo essay on Costa Pacifica mornings...

Make sure you book one of the beachfront rooms to get a front row seat to the Baler Sunrise.

The color scheme is very soothing and relaxing.

There are two pools to choose from: the L-shaped adult pool and the oval children's pool.

It's great that you're literally just a few steps away from the beach.

The
sound of the Baler waves crashing on the beach is very calming. It's
the perfect venue for your zen walk and morning prayers.
BALER MORNINGS-28.jpg
It's
also one of the best places for a morning run. The beach is very wide,
not too crowded, and running from one end and back is very challenging.

Of course, you can also watch the beauty of the Baler sunrise while you go for a morning surf.

The boys loved the swing...

...and the duyan (hammocks).

It was cool to get these refreshing morning towels. :)
BALER MORNINGS-5.jpg
Don't forget to buy from this pandesal vendor on the boardwalk.
BALER MORNINGS-3.jpg
Nothing like freshly baked pandesal from the province. Best paired with peanut butter and coco jam. :)
BEACH HOUSE BREAKFAST


BALER Costa Pacifica Breakfast-78.jpg
Beach House serves the best breakfast buffet in Baler. :)
BALER Costa Pacifica Breakfast-30.jpg
A good selection of cheeses, dried fruits, olives, and nuts.
BALER Costa Pacifica Breakfast-32.jpg
The wood fired oven breakfast pizzas are a treat. :)
BALER Costa Pacifica Breakfast-35.jpg
Breakfast pizza topped with marshmallow, egg, or bacon.

There's also a good selection of breads and local pandesal.

BALER Costa Pacifica Breakfast-31.jpg
Assorted jams...

...and Baler's famous Peanut Butter and Coco Jam.
BALER Costa Pacifica Breakfast-39.jpg

...and binaliktad na dilis.

The longganisa and dilis are best paired with the Casiguran Vinegar...

...and salted egg, tomato, and homemade atchara. :)
BALER Costa Pacifica Breakfast-52.jpg
They also have an arroz caldo (Filipino poridge) station.
BALER MORNINGS-64.jpg
The homemade yogurt is really good, too! :)
BALER Costa Pacifica Breakfast-53.jpg
Baler suman is one of the best I've ever tasted. Don't miss the chance to savor these. :)
BALER Costa Pacifica Breakfast-87.jpg
Be sure to get a pool side table to complete your awesome Baler morning experience.
BALER Costa Pacifica Breakfast-85.jpg
I miss Baler breakfast!
BALER Costa Pacifica Breakfast-58.jpg
You can order hot chocolate with a serving of chocnut on the side.
BALER Costa Pacifica Breakfast-59.jpg
Baler suman has a purplish color. It's already good on its own -- no need to dip in sugar -- and very addicting.
BALER Costa Pacifica Breakfast-88.jpg
I still prefer dipping it in peanut butter or coco jam. Yum! :)
BALER Costa Pacifica Breakfast-117.jpg
They serve a "sushi" version with banana as a welcome dish in your room.
SABANG BEACH & COSTA PACIFICA POOL




BALER MORNINGS-8.jpg
Baler is one of the best places to learn how to surf in the Philippines.
BALER Costa Pacifica Breakfast-93.jpg
It's always best to wake up early for your morning surf.
BALER MORNINGS-34.jpg
The local instructors' passion for surfing is contagious, and they are very accommodating to beginners.
BALER Costa Pacifica Breakfast-111.jpg
The
waves are very strong so it's not advisable for kids to swim. The boys
loved just playing around on the shore and teasing the waves.


BALER MORNINGS-183.jpg
The best part about Costa Pacifica is the swimming pool with an unobstructed view of the Baler bay.


BALER MORNINGS-188.jpg
The pool is kid friendly...


BALER MORNINGS-178.jpg
...with water toys, water polo balls...


BALER MORNINGS-167.jpg
...and inflatable floats.


BALER Costa Pacifica Breakfast-91.jpg
You can also have one of these ice smoothies...
BALER MORNINGS-184.jpg
...or get a refreshing drink of cold water with citrus hints.
BALER MORNINGS-179.jpg
You can spend your entire morning just enjoying the pool, the beach, and the resort facilities.
BEACH HOUSE LUNCH


BALER Costa Pacifica Breakfast-134.jpg
Lunch at the Beach House is just OK. Exploring the other neighboring resorts and restaurants might be a better option for you.
BALER Costa Pacifica Breakfast-118.jpg
BEACH HOUSE MENUGet a Drink | Share Me & Take a Bite | Sandwiches, Wood Fired Pizza | The Main Event: Baler Specialties, Filipino Favorites, International Flavors | Sweet Endings
Prices are relatively expensive.


BALER Costa Pacifica Breakfast-129.jpg
Macho Nachos (P295 +10% service charge). Everything you want on it! If not, just ask.
You can have nachos for pica-pica.


BALER Costa Pacifica Breakfast-123.jpg
Pancit Baler (P295 +10% service charge). Shrimp, Shredded Bok Choy & Mushrooms, Served in a Banana Leaf Pouch.
I recommend this local take on pancit.


BALER Costa Pacifica Breakfast-124.jpg
Costa Clubhouse (P320 +10% service charge). Crispy Bacon, Melted Cheddar, Spring Onion Omelette, Grilled Chicken, Cucumber, Tomatoes, Red Onions, Honey Ranch Dressing.
A light clubhouse sandwich.


BALER Costa Pacifica Breakfast-127.jpg
Liempo "BBQ on a Stick" (P295 +10% service charge). Atchara, Chili Salt, Casiguran Vinegar.
Just sosy BBQ on a stick.


BALER Costa Pacifica Breakfast-132.jpg
I would travel all the way to Baler just to experience awesome
mornings at Costa Pacifica. The resort gets fully booked fast so it's
best to reserve at least 6 months in advance for the peak seasons.


Hope you enjoyed this photo essay. :)
