  • hotelAccommodations
    Most Hotels in North Luzon are lacking quality, service and the (slightly) better beach resorts are overrated so if you are expecting 5 star level of a ccommodation its better to avoid beautiful North.

We visited all places and made a selection of our own and our client experiences: logistics, service, food quality, ambiance, value-for-money and location. Room rate is per night twin/double sharing and includes breakfast where indicated. Of course, we can also book your own suggested hotel.

      Php 3,860.00 (standard room) per room per night base in twin share with breakfast.

      El Puerto Marina is located in Lingayen and 45 minutes drive from Alaminos. This area is famous for its rustic design, fine sandy beach, and lengthy shoreline. The resorts has a nice, if open, wild water park, rooms are in reasonable condition in main building. (better is to avoid staying at the villa above of the fishpond because of the smell and mosquitoes). The restaurant is average and service could be much better. We mostly book this place as part of the trip going to the hundred islands and unfortunately in this area there are limited suitable hotels/resorts. The good thing is they have a new swimming pool looking out over the beautiful beach and sea but you have to walk quite a bit going here. We prefer to book the deluxe room.

      Maxine is located near the entry of hundred islands Alaminos and therefore convenient for our guests, whom like to visit the Hundred Islands. From here you can walk to the entry. The rooms are average and in the evening there is not much than to have a drink in their restaurant which is overlooking the 100 Islands area and considered one of the better place to eat. The menu has no International dishes and fish would be the best choice. They only have a few rooms and if our guest to stay here above El Puerto Marina Resort then we book just the standard room.




      Puerto Del Sol

      Php 5,850.00 (mansion villa) per room per night base in twin share with breakfast & dinner.

      Puerto Del Sol is located in Bolinao in which is a 1 hour drive cast of Alaminos and 6-7 hours from Manila. The staff is friendly and accommodating which make the Resorts ideal destination for a blissful relaxation. They have 2 swimming pools to choose from and a jacuzzi which is good as the sea is not good for swimming but just good for bathing. The sea is just waist deep unless you go far from the shores until the reef. The restaurant has a good buffet and the rooms are well kept but all of this expected as this resort is not cheap. The ambiance overall is relaxing and comforting and you will enjoy your stay.

  • hotelAccommodations
    Most Hotels in North Luzon are lacking quality, service and the (slightly) better beach resorts are overrated so if you are expecting 5 star level of a ccommodation its better to avoid beautiful North. Keep in mind that many smaller places are family run. Some hotels in Vigan and San Juan are exception and offer good value of money. We visited all places and made a selection of our own and our client experiences: logistics, service, food quality, ambiance, value-for-money and location. Room rate is per night twin/double sharing and includes breakfast where indicated. Of course, we can also book your own suggested hotel.

The resorts has a nice, if open, wild water park, rooms are in reasonable condition in main building. (better is to avoid staying at the villa above of the fishpond because of the smell and mosquitoes). The restaurant is average and service could be much better. We mostly book this place as part of the trip going to the hundred islands and unfortunately in this area there are limited suitable hotels/resorts. The good thing is they have a new swimming pool looking out over the beautiful beach and sea but you have to walk quite a bit going here. We prefer to book the deluxe room.

The menu has no International dishes and fish would be the best choice. They only have a few rooms and if our guest to stay here above El Puerto Marina Resort then we book just the standard room.

The sea is just waist deep unless you go far from the shores until the reef. The restaurant has a good buffet and the rooms are well kept but all of this expected as this resort is not cheap. The ambiance overall is relaxing and comforting and you will enjoy your stay.
