Came to San Juan to surf and the San Juan Surf Resort seemed to be the best place to stay for the price. I called a day in advance to make a reservation for one of the fan rooms. When I arrived the reservation was not written down so I was forced to stay in a Standard room. The standard... More

An unplanned weekend getaway led us to San Juan, La union. After 6 -7 hours bus ride we finally reached San Juan and decided to stay in San Juan Surf Resort. We got the standard room which is good for two. It has simple amenities like A/C and cable tv, but no hot/cold shower. Room price was at 1800 php.... More

When I go to La Union alone or with friends, I often stay at cheap hotels or sometimes at the backpacker's hostel. This time, I went with my sister (it was her first time) and her boyfriend. I decided to check us in at San Juan Surf Resort since I heard that their service is good and the place is... More

Its a nice place..clean rooms. Great foods in their bar and resto. Problem is the internet connection. There's just a certain area where u could get a good signal. Got a good view of the beach and the surfers. Staffs are polite. There's a shop for ur beach need..bikinis, slippers, etc. Surfing instructors are friendly.

We stayed here for three nights, traveling with boys aged 7 and 10 and a one-year old. A decent restaurant. No room safes. Valuables need to be checked in at reception. A nice open feel to it and a basketball hoop! A better choice than The Little Surfmaid, unless you're a die-hard surfer who intends to spend hours on the... More

Its quite expensive but the rooms are good, food is nice and we didn't get woken up in the night. However the restaurant seemed to have loads of flies in the day. Not good for breakfast (which is a shame because the breakfasts were actually really nice). Rooms really clean though.

We were a group of 6 and we stayed at one of the villas. The size of the villa was perfect for us. We only had to get an additional mattress so that everyone can stay in the same room. The resort is really pretty but the room in itself is basic and ordinary - nothing fancy. The staff was... More

San Juan is great for surfing, cheap 1 to 1 lessons for about 7gbp per hour. The San Juan Surf Resort has a great view of the action, nice restaurant even if the service is rather slow. Rooms were large, there was an issue with the shower on the first day but it was sorted within 30 minutes. The surf... More

SERVICE Resort staff are accommodating and courteous especially those serving in the restaurant. I really liked them and they attend to your inquiries nicely. LOCATION Resort is beachfront and located just along the highway. Laoag and Abra bound buses, as well as jeepneys going to San Fernando city pass by making commute easy.
