Our family spent the New Year at Punta Bulata in Cauayan, Negros Occidental. It’s one of the popular white sand beaches in Negros. Punta Bulata is about 4 hours from Bacolod City.

Punta Bulata has good facilities. The rooms are spacious and nice looking. The swimming pool is small but the kids will love it. The beach is good. There a lot of Instagram-worthy spots.

The food is good too. The price of their meal is reasonable. It ranges from
150-300 Php and good for 1-2 servings. The drinks were very pricey. A 1L bottle of water costs 80 pesos. Fruit shakes cost 120 Php. A small bag of chips was 60 Php.

However, there is no internet signal in the area for both Globe and Smart. Punta Bulata only provides 100MB of free internet data. That’s not enough. Whenever we are desperate, we had to walk along the coast for 30 minutes just to find a strong signal. But no internet, no problem.
