Puerto Del Sol Beach Resort and Hotel

The Resort and Its Setting

Puerto Del Sol Beach Resort and Hotel is an independent beach property in Barangay Patar, Bolinao, right on the stretch of coast that Pangasinan is best known for. It operates as an independently run resort rather than a branded hotel chain, and its timeshare weeks are affiliated with the RCI exchange network, which means owners who aren't using their week locally have the option to trade it through RCI's system. With a 4.3 out of 5 rating across 863 Google reviews, it has built a solid reputation among guests over time.

Bolinao itself has a laid-back, small-town feel rather than a resort-strip atmosphere, which suits owners and renters looking for a coastal base away from the busier tourist circuits further south.

The Area and Things to Do

Patar Beach, where the resort is located, is one of the more recognisable stretches of sand in this part of Pangasinan, known for its calm, shallow waters and the limestone rock formations along the shoreline. Bolinao town itself is a short drive away and has a long history as a fishing and trading community, with a centuries-old Spanish-era church worth a look if you're in the area.

Travellers based here typically use Bolinao as a jumping-off point for day trips around the peninsula — the area is popular with both domestic weekenders from Manila and international visitors looking for a quieter alternative to Boracay or El Nido. Expect a relaxed pace: this is a region for beach walks, local seafood, and short boat trips rather than nightlife or large-scale entertainment.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own a week at Puerto Del Sol and want to sell or rent it out, BidMyTimeshare.com works as a direct owner-to-owner marketplace: you list your week, set your own asking price, and interested buyers or renters contact you through the platform. There's no commission taken on a sale — sellers simply pay a one-time listing fee to get their week in front of buyers.

Because this is an independent resort, resale isn't handled through a branded developer's transfer department. Instead, ownership transfers go through Puerto Del Sol's own owners' association or on-site management. Before agreeing on a price with a buyer, both sides should confirm directly with the resort what the current transfer fee is, whether there's a right of first refusal the association can exercise, and what the current annual maintenance fee is — none of these figures are published facts we can quote here, so get them in writing from the resort before closing a deal.

A resale buyer typically receives the deeded or contracted rights to the week itself, access to the resort under its existing rules, and — since the resort's weeks are RCI-affiliated — the ability to apply for RCI exchange membership in their own name. What a buyer does not automatically inherit is the seller's RCI account history, banked weeks, or any loyalty status; those stay with the original owner and don't transfer with the week.

Renters, for their part, are usually looking for a straightforward week on Patar Beach without buying in — a direct booking through an owner listing can work out simpler and more transparent than going through a rental agency, since the terms are agreed directly between owner and renter.

Practical Notes

Bolinao is reachable by road from Manila, making it a realistic weekend or short-break destination for owners based in the Philippines, and a longer journey that's worth combining with other stops in Pangasinan for international visitors. Given the coastal, tropical setting, expect warm, humid conditions year-round with a wetter season typically from June to October — plan travel dates and any rental bookings with that in mind.
