Misleading and Shady

Reviewed By drezdenv

False advertising. We stayed last weekend and we are still talking about it now, talk about leaving a mark... not in a good way. We had a couple of issues with this resort and I'll enumerate: 1. We were told we are going to stay at the 5 stories Bolifugao Premier. When we arrived, we wore told that the room was taken down since it collapsed. Had they mentioned this before we never would have pushed thru with the reservation. Granted the initial booking was pre-pandemic, but we were told as late as 1 week ago that the room is still available. The staff told us that they are trying to "clean up" all the reservations, so perhaps that's the reason why they were not upfront about the room availability. 2. The air-conditioning is too weak to cover the large room (Stonesomething) they had to put it high powered electric fans and even that is not enough. Also, the TV is not working, the staff said they don't have a signal. 3. Mice, cockroaches, and mosquitoes. We left our food at the table and when we woke up there were mice droppings on it, the bed also had some mice droppings and we also found a roach egg under the pillow. One of our friends got bit by a roach also while sleeping and we had to hunt down the roach as big as my thumb. 4. The pools are a bit filthy. Grime and "lumot" can be found in the main pool, it's too slippery also and just plain walking can be a challenge when ur inside the pool. 5. The staff told us that the Cafe Bar was open 24hrs, but around 5am there's no one manning the bar and no personnel can be found. I personally had to go through the kitchen and refill our jug of water. *If I wanted to steal something, I could have since THERES NO ONE AROUND. 6. I don't see myself bringing small kids here since the rocks are very sharp and they are all over the place. The pathways are also very unstable and any small kids or ever senior citizens would have a hard time navigating around the resort. 7. They advertise different "bamboo" oriented vehicles to ride but all of those are either broken or full of rust already, nothing is functional (carriage, jeepney, tricycle). 8. They offered us one of the large rooms, and they gave us the "extended weekends rate" we did NOT stay during the extended weekends, we came from work on a Friday and went to work on Monday. This is a classic example of the "let's chalk this to experience" type of situation. We would have left and not stayed, but they told us that the deposit could not be refunded already, thus we were forced to stay 1 night.

Pannzian Beach

Pannzian Beach Resort is a family-owned and managed mountain and beach destination. To keep the authenticity of the experience, it was built on the values of having a balanced lifestyle, being socially responsible, and being environmentally sustainable. Located in the heart of Pasaleng Bay, it is near Pannzian Beach. The resort also offers a back-to-basics approach with facilities. The usual amenities such as a swimming pool, television set, or Wi-Fi access are not provided, but guests are encouraged to take a swim at the river, a nature walk to the spring, or enjoy a bonfire at night. This provides the perfect opportunity to actively engage with the surroundings. Aside from providing personal and friendly service, the resort offers guests a mix of healthy original creations, popular comfort food, and home-styled cooking. If you want an authentic travel experience, then Pannzian Beach Resort might just be the right place for you.

Service Makes this the Best Resort in Bolinao

Reviewed By itgbkj

I could not express enough of how pleased i am with the services that every Puerto del Sol individual do for the guests. They, especially the Front-Desk & Security, are well coordinated with each other and this makes me feel safe being inside the compound. I sensed that they aim for perfection by addressing the tiniest detail in and around the resort. I would like to think that they even have already perfected the processes on operating a resort eg. guaranteeing efficiency on queue management at breakfast, checking-in and checking-out, booking for reservations, accurate accounting and tracking of your bills. Hungry or thirsty, no problem! They provide easy access for you where you can place your orders and this is paired with efficient delivery despite of how large the resort is. During these times of Pandemic (Qtr1-2022), I also see that they have seriously taken into consideration the "social distancing" concerns our world has to face today. Food is also just delicious and priced at par with any restaurant in Bolinao, hence, PDS is already paradise - why go out to eat when you already have everything you need within! Daily breakfast (and we've stayed there for a total of 8 days on two different occasions) always have new offerings everyday, each one as good as the previous day. I give 5 stars for quality and taste in every plate of fruit, oriental to American and especially Filipino dishes. I will leave it up to the others to feedback on the amenities. The pictures speak for themselves. I'm good with the cleanliness, landscaping, quality of rooms and sheets, etc. My two-cents, Puerto del Sol is the best resort in Bolinao in-terms of amenities. And lastly, I celebrated my 50th birthday at PDS by choice. You see, I have had a good experience during my first stay there and decided this is where I'd like to celebrate my DAY. And by sheer chance, the Resort Manager learned about the birthday dinner event and he went out of his way to make it extra special : providing service by extending his team to set-up a long dinner table by the beach, offered us the catch of the day (fresh fish). Thank you, Sir Leo and Chef Jeff. I will surely be back - and if you're looking for a time-out of the hustle and bustle of the city - this is definitely worth the trip.

The hotel is set on a sprawling lawn with beautiful blooms and the sea is right there. The rooms are comfortable but dated. Service is excellent as the staff went out of their way to make our stay pleasant. We enjoyed a long walk in the morning we stayed there.

Escape to beautiful Marand resort located 3 minutes drive from Baung La Union. Marand Resort's wide range of resort facilities cater for everyone and offer guests of all ages the perfect destination to relax and unwind.

Very dirty rooms, rude staffs, manager is also very disrespectful treating their guest like idiots.

Reviewed By R2916QUtravism

The you moment get in there lobby you feel the lack of hospitality. The room is very dirty, they use mattress cases as blankets, the room is full of molds and smells like hell (they well only spray with some solback or something) , they did not clean the toilet room. When the issue was raise they can only say that their top management is thinking of a solution only for you to wait and wait for nothing. They destroyed the mood of the event. Bad function hall, terrible AV equipment's. They will say sorry but for the sake of saying sorry. If there is something that they are very attentive about, that would be money$$$$$$$$$$$$$$. Few guest are being prioritized to the prejudice of others despite being paid more than their regular rate. No toiletries provided........ TV is ruined.... No internet..... When you check in make sure to record the things in the or else You might be blamed for non existing items that were not there in the first place. Not Safe... Wires dangling... Toilet has a trace of someone's fecal matter...... Shower rooms have lots of dead slugs.... Room is like a storage.... Their staffs and managers are beyond RUDE!!! Were are MORE THAN NICE to them at least even after the HORRIBLE TREATMENT.

Air-conditioned rooms with water heater. Located infront of the finest white sand of the Blue Lagoon beach. Our restaurant offers good quality and affordable food. The restaurant also has a bar where you can order drinks made by our professionally trained bartenders.

Not a good place to stay

Reviewed By John Alson E

Blue Lagoon is good but for this hotel it's really very inconvenient in our part. - No WIFI - No power generator - The room is very small - CR has many ants and not so clean - The management doesn't even care about how their customers are doing - The outside vicinity is not so clean as well Really won't recommend this for a family trip or vacation.

Slow restaurant

Reviewed By lorraineashleyl

Bad reviews for the restaurant. We waited for 1 hour and 3 mins for our lunch to arrive. And most of their menu items are not even available. If you're travelling to a far place, I don't recommend visiting here for a short snack or lunchbreak. It's not evwn worth the wait.

La Union surf and swim

Reviewed By ViajeroMacca

Sebay, La Union is a hidden gem located right on the beach.  Great place for families and for anyone interested in learning how to surf. Excellent location for swimming and lazing around. Rolling waves onto shallow beach. Water temperature is warm. The resort has a beach bar and restaurant with reasonable prices. There are options on  the accommodations, i.e. older rooms near the beach whilst newer rooms at the back of the resort. Clean rooms and air conditioned. Staff are friendly and helpful. Parking available onsite. There are plenty of eateries and bars around the place.
