Hotels near Bacsil Ridge Monument, San Fernando

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.

I was transferred to the other branch which is in San fernando, The place is really nice 2 mins walk to go to the beach and 5-10 mins ride to san juan. The land lady is very accomodating will surely comeback.

Our stay at The Escape San Juan was nothing short of exceptional. The combination of luxurious accommodations, outstanding service, and prime location made it a memorable experience that I won't soon forget. Whether you're traveling for business or leisure, I highly recommend The Escape San Juan for an unforgettable stay.

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.

Overall, it was a pleasure to stay in Viilas Buenavista. The place is generally clean and peaceful. You'll indeed have a good night's rest after a whole day of travel and a night out. The staff is friendly and courteous. Just a few things though: 1. We are grateful that they offer complimentary breakfast (which was delicious, btw), however, most of the food choices were not available. Since it's complimentary, and food items are not gourmet food, most items you can store in your fridge for a longer time, like hotdogs, tocino, and longanisa. Then maybe at least more than 2 options be available. 2. No option to have food delivered to the room. 3. Though there is a landline phone in the room, there is no dial tone so that is useless. We used our mobile phones instead since they have the reception's number posted at the back of the door. 4. The room was clean, with cold AC, a working fridge, and a TV. Large enough that it can accommodate a family of 5, or at least 8. Just that the smell was a bit odd. But it's no biggie. What's important is that they have a great room where we can doze off. 5. You may really need to have your own transport, as it's hard to commute from one point and back to the hotel. No happening during the night (no live band, etc) so you really need to go out if you're that type. So if you are looking for a quiet, private, and clean place to stay while enjoying La Union, I certainly recommend for you to add Villas Buenavista to your choices.

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

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

Went here with the family for a weekend getaway. The villa we got is good except for the water pressure in one of the showers...we only got trickles and there was no hot water either. Activities for the family is quite limited as they only have pools. Would be good if management could come up with facilities for other outdoor activities cuz it gets boring as the day progresses...i.e. boat tours, snorkeling, banana boat rides perhaps? Btw, if you’re into long walks by the beach...wanting the feel of the sand on your feet, then this isn’t the place for you as there’s no beach. On a positive note, the breakfast was enjoyable.

We enjoyed our stay here (from April 16-18) with my siblings (except for some comments). The resort was clean, the room was very spacious for 2pax (we occupied 2 rooms) it can fit a group of 6 pax per room if maximized. The toilet was spacious too. Room AC was working well. We stayed in room 119, my comments for the room specifically are as follows: the shower heater was not working when we stayed, the toilet faucet was leaking, room had an off smell (fishy with downy). I also suggest that the hotel management remind their guests (in general) to keep their noises/voices low or avoid unnecessary noises after 10pm in consideration of other hotel guests (as courtesy---not all the guests are at the resort to party, some just wants to enjoy a peaceful and quiet place to rest and unwind). The free breakfast was decent. The staff were very friendly and helpful. I ywould still recommend staying here, not as crowded as the resorts in San Fernando or San Juan.
