Went here with my best friend for 3 days for a much needed vacation. The resort does have a restaurant and I enjoyed the choices. The beach have surf instructors that will guide you and help you out. They give good instructions as I managed to balance myself on the surfboard on the third attempt.

Room is quite nice but I expected more especially the bathroom. It is not dirty or anything is just that I expected more. The ambiance is also relaxing. They have a gift shop but the choices werent as good.

The staff were also quite helpful as they have no hesitation when we requested for a bigger room. The original we had only had one big bed, seeing as we were both guys, we ought to have a room with separated beds.

It was good experience. I still miss waking up in the morning and smelling the beach while enjoying my pancakes.

We liked this quaint resort in general. Good location. Good food. Best Acai bowl we’ve had in the Philippines .. but make sure you stay in the main hotel. We stayed in Condo #2 - bad experience. No elevator, 3 flights of steps. Ants greeted us. There was a leak in the bathroom too that the staff came quickly to fix. So that’s ok. What is awful is the Noise coming the street! Cars, music from the nearby bars. Would go back but Only if we had the ocean view. Otherwise there are other resorts in the area to choose from!

Went here for a family beach weekend, and we planned to stay at this resort since we've read some nice reviews. Plus points about this resort is the proximity to everything everyone goes for when in San Juan-- the beach, the bars and the restaurants along the highway. We also got a room with an awesome view of the beach which was a few steps away. But the positives end there.
For a 4-star resort (as seen in Google map) it is lacking in a number of things. I find it too pricey, especially when breakfast is not included in the daily rate. Housekeeping is almost non-existent here, which is made more difficult because there is no intercon to contact the front desk. They just give you a card with mobile numbers to call when you need something, and you're lucky if someone actually picks up the call; otherwise you have to go down to front desk yourself for whatever request you have. Front desk closes shop at 8pm. Food served in their resto is the usual (as in so-so), if not a little overpriced. One isn't allowed to bring in food (chips and snacks are okay, though) and alcohol from outside. Wifi is very spotty at times.
While the resort is average with its service, it's really scenic, hence a lot of people milling around with their phone cams and all. Great for pictorials (anything for the 'gram, as they say), but one can move on to another place on the next visit to San Juan.

The resort is situated in one of the liveliest parts of San Juan and it is just a walking distance away from some of the most popular restaurants and bars in that area.

Stayed here for a night in a "deluxe room". It was clean and pretty basic. There was no bottled water, which they could've at least provided. The remote control of the TV was hard to use. I mean, the remote controls didn't seem to work at times. Good thing there was a wi-fi, which was pretty fast. It was also quiet and comfortable so I had a good night's sleep. There was no free breakfast.

There is also an on-site restaurant. Their food was pretty good for me but the portions weren't that plentiful and it was quite expensive. The waiting staff in the restaurant was accommodating.

The other staff members of the resort were also helpful and polite. They also have a surf school, but I can't comment on that because I've never tried it.

Overrated and overpriced!!

You are going to pay for almost 100dollars per night without simple room amenities such as coffee sticks,kettle,sugars & bottled water. This place used to be a GEM in san juan launion but now everything had declined📉. If you are selling your rooms on a higher price at least provide your clients with a high quality and pro active customer service but instead you hired ill-mannered female receptionists who act dumb all the time.

If you are a customer looking for a place in san juan launion, skip this resort and their restaurants ( food portions are smaller than kiddie meals) Get your money’s worth somewhere else! DEFINITELY WILL NOT COMEBACK!

Room tip: Avoid the robotic recetionists, they look tired and stressed out all the time!!!

For a surf resort, this place is great compared to most, in the area. I stayed here 2x. The first was March and i got the room right above the resto facing the beach. The toilet had issues with the flush but that was overshadowed by the view! The food was excellent. The organic options from seabuds was fantastic! And where else can you find a celebrity owner wjo actually says good morning to you and ask how your stay is? The second visit was this May. We got a smaller room without the view which was fine. But the issues was the airconditioning. It never cooled. I literally woke up around 3am having difficulty breathing because the air in the room felt so congested. However, the overnight sleep in both visits are not the only basis. Value for money, location, staff, food, and overall experience weighs more. That is why i give thia a 4 of 5
