Isla Bonita Beach Resort

“Family get away.”

We prebooked on line which was a mission as well as when we arrived to check in this took over 45 minutes.So the Place was clean and tidy, Rooms were very small we asked for a separate single bed and got only a mattress on the floor.

We prebooked on line which was a mission as well as when we arrived to check in this took over 45 minutes.So the Place was clean and tidy, Rooms were very small we asked for a separate single bed and got only a mattress on the floor. But just for one night so ok. The beach was very close but also dangerous for little kids as the tide dumped into the shallow waters. once again fun but could be scary. There were warning signs about this The swim pool was awesome and had great surounding folliage. We enjoyed the BBQ Area as it was mid week an very few other people were their. Lunch on the second day was for my part disappointing. Sizzling Seesig was great but for me what was supposed to be as per the menu, Crispy Chips and Crispy onion rings were luke warm and flabby, sauce was not as described on the menu. (joys of being a Chef i guess as I am critical) overall our stay was a great family get away from our normal holiday places and we would probably stay here again due to proximity of beach and oher ammentities. Place appears to be ungoing up grading which it could do with.

“Pretty good ”

I enjoyed my 2 night here. The staff were all helpful and friendly. The breakfasts was quite nice. The restaurant served a nice seafood dish which I ate myself!

It's right on beach but I couldn't swim because the water looked to rough for me. Wifi worked well and rooms were decent enough. A place to come for really good surfing and a relaxed vibe in San Juan.

“Recommended for a more quiet La Union experience”

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 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.

“Be aware of unsafe water in rooms.”

Nice people, but they didn't tell us they had a water problem (no clean water, only suspicious-looking salt water coming thru the pipes) until we arrived and discovered it. That included the swimming pools and outdoor shower. Only on the second day they offered clean water (in bottles). In the mea… lisää

Nice people, but they didn't tell us they had a water problem (no clean water, only suspicious-looking salt water coming thru the pipes) until we arrived and discovered it. That included the swimming pools and outdoor shower. Only on the second day they offered clean water (in bottles). In the meantime I got a staph-like infection on my feet and needed to go to hospital and take antibiotics.The first question the doctor asked was if I had come in contact with unclean water. As well, we paid extra in advance for a hot breakfast, then when we arrived was told their restaurant was still closed. They ordered in some rather cold fast food in styrofoam.

“Stay somewhere else”

Our assigned room (8) needs serious renovation. Aircon is not working properly. Cannot understand the ceiling design. Place is far from the surfing area in La Union. So dont consider this resort if you plan to visit San Juan to surf.
