真棒酒店(Awesome Hotel)

Very friendly staffs. The day we stayed they had the band and free cocktails. The only downside was the room aircon, not so cold, same as a review I read somewhere. The buffet breakfast was super sulit! The hotel was fully booked and after prodding finally gave in to my request if we can bring the breakfast plate to my daughter in the room who could not go down because she was dizzy and had fever. Value for money. Will definitely go back

The amenities like the pool and the beachfront are the good thing about this hotel. Not too crowded when we had our stay. They have very accommodating and courteous staffs and the vicinity is kept clean and comfortable. They are enough spaces to spend good time with the family and friends. We had the premier room and it was very comfortable with a pool view. The one facing the shore would have had a fascinating view of the sunset and the shore. The price is higher than the ones around it but was reasonable if traveling is big groups.

Very friendly staff and their hotel is more affordable than the last one we tried. The location though is more than 5km away from restaurants. Their food was not that great and a bit pricey. But great pool! Clean place! They have 1 resto only, cafe and a bar. Beach was good enough but have to watch out for jelly fish lol.

awesome escape from the city!

This was not our first choice when we planned the trip because of the bigger waves at hindi swimmable yung beach as others say, but it’s way, way better than that in San Fernando! This is indeed a 4-star hotel! 👍 👍 👍 👍 The beach is cleaner and safe to walk kahit bigger waves. But of course, mag-ingat pa rin kasi malakas talaga yung current. We had a smooth checkin and everyone had a great time right away! 🙂 We love the spacious room, it’s cleanliness, good water pressure in the bathroom, plus those digital toilets hahaha! and even the food was great! 😀 Grateful the chef made a special meal for my son's favorites: nilaga and tinola. Sarap! The pool is not heated but there’s a small jacuzzi area for those tito/tita/lolo/lola haha! Bitin kami so we’ll definitely go back!

Hotel has a strict no outside food and drinks policy. We were stopped by the guard who insisted we stop by the reception. Reception would not let us through even though we said we were going to pack the items into our luggages. How else were we to pack the food we bought into our luggage if we did not bring it up to the room?! Reception then called their manager, Joseph who came out looking very condescending. He took 1 look at us and then gestured in our faces while saying in mandarin 'nothing!' That was extremely rude! We may look Chinese but we are from Singapore and speak English perfectly well. We didn't ask a question, he came out, took one look and profiled us and said probably the only mandarin words he knew. He then stood there just staring down at us condescendingly. Since the incident, the receptionist seemed to be very free, staring at us each time we went in and out of the property as if she had nothing better to do. Hotel also charges a ridiculous corkage fee if you want to bring in drinks and snacks. How can you charge corkage when there is no one serving me the food and drinks that i have purchased? Will never stay here again.

Was here 5-7 April 2023, following the Siargao trip, i wanted the kids to try out surfing and so we drove from Rizal to La Union. The hotel is newly renovated as some of the pictures in tripadvisor doesnt match the place now. Its much bigger, i think up to 5 floors at least. We booked room 231 family room which has 2 queen size beds and 2 more single beds in an adjacent smaller room. Check in was swift since we booked and paid online in advance. Since it looks to be newly renovated, everything in the room is new, from the heated toilet seats, the lighted wall to wall mirror the showers and the door locks. Top of the line. this would give a lot of older hotels a run for their money. I would not be amiss to recommend this hotel to anyone who wants an awesome place to stay in La Union. Staff are very polite and prim and proper and professional and very helpful. Breakfast buffet was very good, kudos to the chef. Beach was kid friendly because it slopes gently hindi yung biglang lalim na lagpas tao agad. This part of La Union, is very very good for beginner surfers because you can go 20 to 30 meters out and its not yet too deep so no worries of drowning even if you fall off the board. Look for Ryan surfing school, very accommodating and mabait and professional surfing instructor. Ask for sir Adrian, he taught 2 of my daughters and they were able to stand on the surfboards on the 2nd or 3rd try. Will i book again? Definitely, if i go back to La Union, budget permitting, this is definitely where i would stay again. Awesome Indeed!!!

I found it to be overpriced but not worth its quality. The rooms were quite mediocre. To make matters worse, the food at the hotel was a letdown as well. I also tried the nasi goreng, it tasted very bland and didn't have any hint of peanut flavor as expected. I was very disappointed with the tasteless food. However, the concierge staff were very helpful during my stay and the pool was okay.
