El Puerto Marina Beach Resort
and Spa in Lingayen, owned by Roland Versoza and Flordeliza Bernal-Versoza, offers rustic
airconditioned native-style bungalows, superior and de luxe rooms,
superior beach view rooms and 1-bedroom suites, all of them airconditioned with
cable TV and toilet and bath with hot and cold showers.
Its rustic pavilion offers a
menu of Asian, Continental and Filipino favorites (includes the healthy pinakbet,
honeyed crispy chicken, sizzling bangus belly and
cholesterol-rich binagoongan pork or lechon kawali).
It also has a bar with wi-fi and Dream satellite TV.

This quiet, family-oriented resort, opened in 2005, is also a haven for fast and slow-paced activity with its two swimming pools, (adult and kiddie with jacuzzi), an all-terrain vehicle (ATV) track as well as other indoor (billiards, pingpong, chess, darts, etc.) and outdoor (fishing, beach, volleyball, surfing, kayaking, skim boarding, etc.) facilities.
Tours to Hundred Islands (which we availed of), Bolinao and Manaoag Shrine can also be arranged here. After a full, active day, a steam bath and a soothing, full body massage is highly recommended at its spa. A nice touch is its mini-zoo and koi pond, also home to 2 big South American arapaimas.

The adjoining, gently-sloping
beach is something else, with its clean, fine and gray sand, cool breeze and
picnic huts.
