What the reviews say

The villa suites look well built but arrive with empty soap dispensers, no bath towels, and a fridge door that will not close. Internet only works outside the room, and non-guests can turn up unannounced and take over the pool.

  • Towels were not provided in the rooms or villas, and soap dispensers were left empty despite being installed.
  • One woman staying in a villa noted the fridge door would not close, the stairs were awkward, and running the bathroom water produced an unpleasant off-gas smell.
  • A reviewer flagged that Wi-Fi is only available outside the rooms, the TV is not a smart TV, and the shower head was clogged with hard water residue she had to clear herself with a toothpick.
  • One guest reported that a group of 10 to 15 non-staying visitors arrived by motorcycle, used the pool buoys, set up outside food by the pool for a birthday, and were not turned away by staff.
  • One reviewer described the atmosphere as calm and best for chilling, with friendly staff, though noted the rooms are old and it is a distance from nightlife.
  • Multiple reviewers across room types reported missing towels, empty soap dispensers, and poorly maintained bathrooms with clogged fixtures or broken fittings.
  • The villa suites are two-storey with a kitchenette, upstairs bedroom, wardrobe, and plugs beside the bed, but furnishings were described as thin and worn.
  • Internet connection is only accessible outside the guest rooms, not inside them.
  • On at least one occasion, a large group of non-guests was allowed to use the pool area and facilities without prior reservation, staying for several hours.
  • Restaurants and a 7-Eleven are a short walk away, though one reviewer on the far side of the property described the immediate surroundings as having no nearby restaurants.

Where it is

San Juan - San Gabriel Rd, San Juan, 2514 La Union, Philippines

The hotel sits at what one reviewer described as the end of a road, with a seaside aspect on at least some sides of the property. Restaurants and a 7-Eleven are walkable, but the area is away from nightlife.
