Kahanamoku Bed & Breakfast

Baler|1.28km from Ermita Hill
Our expectations were low, but what the f***? We booked the ”Premier Suite” which was described in the website as a room ”with an en-suite toilet and bath with hot & cold rain shower stocked with natural toiletries.” The room was also claimed to be put together ”with a keen eye for detail to appeal to your epicurean taste buds yet a feel not far away from home.” They claim that the room has a ”private balcony with a view of the sea and the lush mountainside.” I don't think that's entirely accurate. . . Going to this place was a great ordeal. To be fair, they were helpful in processing our S-PASS. Unfortunately, we were not informed beforehand that the road going to their place was closed. So we had to circle back and traverse the Pantabangan road. We were delayed for more than 3 hours. We called them and asked if there were any restaurants open nearby their place since we were really hungry and we don't want to stop over causing more delay. They informed us that the restaurant beside their resort was open. We arrived at around 5pm only to find out that the restaurant beside them was closed and does not serve on weekdays. After more than 10 hours of driving, we had to go back to Baler centro to look for food. After 30 minutes of looking for a decent restaurant, we decided to just drive thru Jolibee Baler. That was probably the saddest chickenjoy we've ever tasted. So yeah, we returned to the place to finally rest and freshen up but we found out that the only ”toiletries” they had was a shower gel. So we had to go back again to Baler centro to buy essentials at 9pm. The road btw is very dark since there were no lightposts. It was the worst. We just want to highlight some weird things in the room that doesn't make sense. For one, the toilet smells musty, probably due to the fishport nearby. Another is the TV which does not really have any chanels. The balcony doesnt really give a clear view of the sea since the resort is on the other side of the road across the ocean. Lastly, the ”toiletries” were bit of a scam. We just prayed that the breakfast was good but then again... they served cold bread. We didnt really expect much from this place since the whole country just came from a pandemic. We really wanted to give a good review and look at the brighter side but really, all we remember are the stress from staying at this place. It was horrible. Traumatic. If you can't deliver basic hospitality, might as well close down. Sorry, but we should have just claimed for a refund.

Loft Baler
5/51 Reviews
It was a real gem of a find in Baler! The place is perfect nestled inside and away from the hustle and bustle that charactrizes most beach areas. So, after a long drive/trip - one can rest. Rest really well. The place had amenities, which will make staying Just A Day a real bummer. Until our next trip here at stay at #LoftBaler

The staff was really friendly and helped us so much. The room was clean and the bathroom was quite big. The location is a little far from the beach but you can find try cycles just in front of the hotel. The price is reasonable for what you get.

difficult to find far cheap price nice view fresh at night
Ysraela Lodging House - Sabang
4/57 Reviews
The owner of the lodging house was very accommodating. They didn't take advantage of their guess instead offered/suggested something for a better option. In general, the people of Baler were not opportunists. The money I spent was fair enough, but for those who want a more relaxing venue, spend a little bit more to get a beachfront venue. I also noticed that all of the tourist spots that I visited were lack of cleanliness. I think the local government should do something about this. Maybe it is fair enough if the local government will collect an environmental fee for each guess of 50 pesos and this will cover all the tourist spots of Baler (including Ermita Hill and others that have entrance fees). This fund will be used for the maintenance, materials, and salary of the cleaner. Set aside corruption for the betterment of Baler. I just want to add, that the entrance fee for the Museum is too high.
Costa Pacifica Resort
4.1/544 Reviews
It was our nth time staying at Costa. Whenever we visit Baler, this hotel is our only option. We stayed here from Dec 28-Jan 2, and it was our first time celebrating New Year by the beach! Everything was amazing, from booking to checkout. The WiFi and internet connectivity were much better compared to our last stay. They even prepared the room for our daughter’s birthday, and our room was clean and ready. I really appreciate their thoughtfulness and preparation. The staff’s customer service is genuine and superb. Additionally, their TVs are Netflix and Prime ready. I also trained for my marathon by the beach. It’s just a shame that Baler beach is not well-maintained due to garbage and trash. Overall, we are happy that we celebrated New Year here and will definitely be back.
