How to get to Dawal Beach Resort and to Potipot Island

I made these guides so that those people who are planning to go there won’t have a hard time thinking how they’ll be able to get there, like what happened to us.

IF YOU ARE TAKING A BUS:
- According to the cab driver on our way home, he told us that there’s a Genesis bus transit in Cubao going to Sta. Cruz, Zambales which is the next town after Candelaria. Though, this information is not proven yet.
- The proven bus that will take you to Candelaria, Zambales is Victory Liner Caloocan Station. Although some of its buses are wow in hotness, judging from what we rode round trip. This is the best station for you to ride if you’re somewhere from Q.C. coz they said that there Cubao station don’t have journeys to Sta. Cruz/Candelaria.

STEPS:
1. Ride a cab or a jeep going to Caloocan City
2. a. In the Rotonda turn left (if you’re riding a cab)
b. Alight (bumaba) from the jeep when you see the Rotonda and take the left pedestrian lane if there’s some.
3. A few blocks from the Rotonda is the Victory Liner Caloocan branch.
4. Find the buses that will go to Sta. Cruz, buy tickets and get on board.

Don’t believe that you have to go down on the Municipal Hall of Candelaria to take a tricycle. The resort is way far from the Municipal Hall. Just tell the driver or the conductor to stop the bus on exact street going to Dawal Beach Resort. Do not worry there will be signs. Your landmark should be a waiting shed and a sign of the Dawal Beach Resort that has 40% discount on it. Then you’ll just have to walk for 3-5 minutes and you’re there.

IF YOU ARE TAKING A CAR WITH YOU:
- I believe the best way to travel is through SCLEX the newly made expressway to Clark and Zambales.
- Go to NLEX and when you reach Pampanga there would be 2 routes for you to choose it’s to turn left or to turn right. I believe you should turn left. Just to make sure ask directions from the policemen on the intersection, on how to get to SCLEX.
- I believe you just have to drive a couple of miles which is not very far and choose the exit that you’ll be taking.
- The rest is up to you from this point on.
- The best advice that I can give to you if you’ll bring car is to bring a zambales map too. hehe

I hope this helps. :)
