Hotel berhampiran Bolikewkew Rice Terraces, La Union

The place is instagrammable and most of the staff are friendly and accommodating. My otherwise shy parents loved their swim-up room because it afforded them a semblance of privacy while enjoying the pool. The rooms are spacious, the beds comfortable. I personally love the balcony overlooking the pool complex. And bathrobes are always appreciated. The beach has fine, whitish sand. The buffet breakfast is adequate, standard, (although I heard a couple complaining at the salad bar due to the lack of salad dressing). The fried bananas were the star of the breakfast buffet, and we kept re-filling our plates with it to make up for the very ”malitid” beef tapa. The river pool was quite enjoyable and we found ourselves just floating with the current. For some reason, the water in the river pool and slide pools/pool bar were quite hot (not ”warm”). Im unsure if that's intended or the sun was just too hot that day. There were incidents though that we found stressful/annoying/disappointing. As we were on our way to Aureo, I received an email and text message from them saying they are letting go of our reservation (4 rooms, since we are a party of 10), because they did not receive any confirmation from me. I backtracked on the reservation email they sent days ago and did not find anything requiring me to confirm. All I remembered was that they were giving us the option to either pay up-front or settle the fees upon check in. It was later sorted out and we were told they will hold the rooms for us. Nevertheless, that email/text message considerably caused us stress, as we were already on the road, with kids and senior citizens in tow. Perhaps the management could adopt a better way of informing clients that a confirmation is needed, or that payment should be made upfront (which we would have gladly done), instead of automatically sending a message, without prior notice, that they are cancelling our rooms. Since it was our parents' anniversary and it was a rare occasion for our family to be complete, we arranged for a private dinner by the beach. We agreed to the P5k dinner set up by the beach, in addition to the P750/person boodle fight food. We were, however, disappointed to find out that the 5k set-up consisted of a simple plastic table and chairs, with lights strung above (see pic). We checked Aureo's pics from IG and saw that previous set-ups have arch backdrops with flower garlands, etc. I suppose we expected something similar for 5k. It did not help that just a few feet away, the restaurant has beach tables and chairs with better lights/lanterns, where we could have eaten without the additional 5k charge. As a compromise, the staff reduced the beach set-up fee to P3k. We reluctantly accepted this so as not to ruin what could hopefully be a special dinner for our parents. The staff also informed us they will only charge us for 8 persons although the set up was for 10pax. While we appreciate this, it must be pointed out that the 9th and 10th pers

A newly opened Hotel in San Fernando, La Union provides comfort with an affordable rate. Located along McArthur Highway and very adjacent to Robinsons Mall. Only has rooms good for a maximum of two guests, no family room is available. The beds are very comfortable and the interiors are very classic. No locks on the CR. Needs assistance when using the elevator.

First visit at the sports bar for a lovely sunset experience after being warned about higher prices to be expected from a local and from our four meals two were excellent and two were poor. The poor ones were the the Beef Salpicao and the Beef Rendang where the meat was not tender but tough and gristly and lacked authentic flavour. In contrast the shredded beef obviously was much better in the Thai Basil Beef (Pad Gra Prow) and the Pork Adobo Overload was great AND the meat was so tender and tasty. Perhaps could have had less belly fat for me but that’s the best part according to my wife. Drinks good. Attracted by the live band music next door , we had traditional desserts at PM Final Option which set up for a nice walk back to base along the beautiful beach under a full moon. ps Awesome - you should review having staff smoking in the bar when it’s primarily used by guests having dinner.

We will book again the same hotel once we go back in LaUnion San Fernando. Thank to the friendly staffs and Trip.com.

We like the place bec location is convenient, foods is okay, staffs are nice and helpful, the resort is clean and nice view..

Address - Urbiztondo, San Juan, La Union Ambiance/Facilities - 8/10 Highlights - Free bfast Avg. Price per Person - 1700 good for 2 Rating - 7/10 room is comfortable but needs a lot of improvement. Faucet in the comport room is emprovised and the tiles is a little bit dirty. When you take a shower, the water will leak to the door and the floor outside the comport room will get wet. Free breakfast is a little bit good, you can not choose for what dish you want, they just serve what is available. The only thing I want with this hotel is the location, because it is near to the tourist spot. Near to kabsat and also to jetsam and flotsam.

The access road is narrow one way so maybe go around the back of palengke. Check-in was friendly and fast. The atmosphere is romantic and quaint. A cute resort style. With 3 very mall swimming pools. The beach is quiet, clean, nice and private but with a steep slope down and warning signs mark the entry way that it could be dangerous to swim. And I can see why. Not really for kids unless you born at the beach and know it's quirks. Breakfast was 4-5 pre set choices but very OK for me. For me just some fruit pcs and bread, honey with butter will do the trick. With a juice and coffee. We went to Kahuna beach for some sea swimming and surfing lessons. Which is like 10 minutes by car or 50P per person in tric which strikes me as steep. The beach is much more shallow for safer swimming. But also quite busy acting as the public beach. But if you like peace and quiet and enjoy the beach itself this place is really an option. Rooms were older quaint style but roomy. Shower was nice but please change the shower head in room 8. It is spraying everywhere. The bed mattress was good but I didn't like the bedding being only a cheap blanket. No sheets. Staff was excellent and friendly. Oh and the restaurant is also recommended. We ate 2 out of 3 nights just at the resort and very good for Filipino choices.

The location is good. The place, amenities are cool. We got some issues with their reception, they only cater until 10pm, there is no people avail to accommodate you if you manage to come midnight. The water doesnt smell good.
