    The parking was very limited and the staff was pretty adamant about the parking slots so it was a bit of a downside, better not to bring a car instead.

    The wifi connection was stable in the cafe area so we were able to work. The location was pretty near the beach and 7-11 and there were also quiet hours implemented at night which was nice.

    It's how we wanted it to bein the end - short, peaceful, with the just the right amount of sunshine.
    • Leisure trip

    • Deluxe Double Room
    • Stayed 2 nights

    The roof deck couldve been laid out more intentionally and thoughtfully rather than randomly (that's what it appeared to me). Colorful floor mats, low tables, decked with bean bags (in jute material) + incandescent bulbs can liven up the space more, especially at night. You have more than enough of the concrete + wood theme all around, would be refresbhing to see some color this part of the propeerty. It will encourage guests to stay longer in that zone with the cozy, laidback vibe (vs. the masakit sa pwet na kahoy furniture all around; dont get me wrong, I LOOOOOVE Filipino handcrafted wooden furniture). Perhaps a good balance in the quantity could lessen the "hardness" feeling one gets.

    the exterior and interior architecture and the thoughtful combination of cold and warm (concrete and wood) are my favorite design aesthetic, so these easily & completely meet, rather exceed, my expectations.

    Nothing, everything was great.

    Location was great - close to the busier areas in LU, including great dining spots and the beach. We did come at the end of the long weekend, so everything was quiet and we had the parking to ourselves. The staff was very attentive and helpful. The room was perfect for our group of 4 (we booked the family room for 6). We had everything we needed!

    I didn’t like the location as it was a little bit far from the beach the price is a little bit off for the quality of the room. To much time spend for check in and check out specially asking deposits upon stay waste of money for a room. Definitely not to recommend to all my canadian friends as locals 😏 CAUTION : stain charge you 500 pesos no slippers in the room . Even bringing food is prohibited . No disability access . But staff are very hospitable as we all expect in Philippines .

    Having to beg to check in 1 hour early while we sat and sweated in the heat. The room was empty and already cleaned. But the front desk wanted 1500 pesos more to go in early. Finally letting us in 1 hour early after the lady at the desk spoke to a gentleman. We checked out at 5:00 a.m. But no one was at the front desk till 7 a.m. to get our deposit back. Lucky we had other family members there to get our deposit back later in the day.

    Way to small room, and dirty, not enough water pressure. Can only accommodate 2 cars but they’ll wake you up , to move your car each time even in the middle of the night.the staff wasn’t trained properly.😇

    Sorry but zero, I can’t recommend the place.

    Water was weak midday. Communal bathroom was clean but other people kept leaving their stuff there so it was kinda messy. They didn't have coffee at the cafe during my stay :(

    Friendly staff. Other guests were friendly too. Met their dog Billie which was lovely 💛

    This place definitely deserves more parking so more people can visit and stay. Other than that we absolutely enjoyed our time here.

    Perfect location! Absolutely would recommend to anyone going to La Union. The staff are so friendly and accommodating. The rooms are fresh, modern, and clean. Only have wonderful things to say about Shorebreak.
