☆ Prepare for a long drive travel. Take TPLEX way, we took Manila-La Union for 4hrs only. San Fernando to Luna town, almost 1hr gap
☆ Stay near at surfing area in La Union. Although waves in Bauang was quiet good but no one offers surfing lesson near on the place where we stayed. Still needs to go to San Fernando/San Juan.
☆ Search for resto ahead of time.

Review:
Staffs are friendly and accomodating. Buffet breakfast starts at 7am. Rooms are quiet good, comfty, classy and with ample space for big activities. 5 minutes from hotel to beachfront, both have swimming area. Hotel swimming pools : some slides are not well functioning, suggest to make renovation and have human size action figures since it was very trendy nowadays. Beachfront pools : should expand swimming pools to comfortably accomodate more guest. Create more beach activities.
