| 6th July 2009 cj gonzales | reservation - From: Taytay Falls, Majayjay, Laguna, Philippines I understand that you guys went there for an unplanned trip. But Mr. Guera, is there any possibility to reserve a room for 2 (married couple) ahead of time to ensure we have a room to sleep at. By suggestion, is it better to go there on a Friday than on a Saturday? We went there just this weekend via motorcycle as a group and my husband and I wanted to spend a weekend there. Update ba yung rates that was posted by the local? Need help please. Thanks! |
| 6th July 2009 Amy | Saud beach resort - From: Pagudpud, Ilocos Norte, Philippines In any place we all go, there is always a positive or negative feedback no matter what so please give them the benefit of the doubt. Saud beach is a great place for holiday. For some people they just want to b***h about anything and everything. |
| 6th July 2009 Amy | Regarding accomodations in Saud Beach - From: Pagudpud, Ilocos Norte, Philippines Originally I am from Vintar, Ilocos Norte but because of my mother leaving for abroad, I ended up growing up and studied high school in Pagudpud. Saud beach is the place you are looking for if you want serenity and simple living. I left Pagudpud when I was 17 and left for Australia at that same year. Comparing to how it was up to now is a lot of changes which I am proud of. I have recommended the place to some of my friends here in Australia and as a result of their holidays from there, they had a tremendous time in Pagudpud and said they will go back again. Hooray for Pagudpud. |

| 19th June 2009 Mike Sy | - From: Bantayan Island, Cebu, Philippines We visited Bantayan during the long Independence Day weekend and stayed at the Seaview Apartelle w/c is a stone's throw away from Marlin's. The beach there is great but the local gov't should do something about eco-preservation and trash management though. All in all, Bantayan Island is a place worthy for a visit. Take a quit hop to the town of Bantayan and visit the 400 year old St. Peter & Paul Church and the Kota Park. It is recommended to make sure to order scallops and crabs since they are unbelieveably cheap! Cheap! |

| 7th June 2009 ykm | Where NOT to stay when in Pagudpud - From: Pagudpud, Ilocos Norte, Philippines I know where NOT to stay when in Saud Beach. We booked ourselves at Villa del Mar, ignoring the warning signs after reading several negative comments about it. We paid the downpayment for 2 nights in a family cottage. We're a family of four and were willing to pay the expensive price of P4,500 a night in exchange for direct beach access, room size and privacy. We got there and yes, the room is big with 4 beds in all, but the bathroom was horrendous. The shower head wasn't working and there was a pail and tabo to "address that". The toilet bowl and pail and tabo were not cleaned properly and the bathroom door was covered in mold and broken at the bottom from wood rot. They had a tv - with only 1 channel. They had a ref - which was busted. All of that is NOT worth P4,500 a night - even if the room is big. We were determined not to let this ruin our vacation so we decided to check Kapuluan Resort - they took us in on short notice so we returned to Villa to retrieve our things. The people at Villa's front-desk have ZERO decision making abilities and I think they didn't want to let us go but I said not to worry we paid for 1 night already and then he let us go. He didn't even offer to transfer us to another room. He didn't offer to call the owners to inform them that they have an unsatisfied customer - he didn't offer to return my unused P4,500 or even a small portion of it. I couldn't care less, we just wanted to leave. Kapuluan Resort was fabulous, and Blue Lagoon Beach is breathtaking but not for those who like a lot of people or noise at night, or don't like walking (the resort is 7-10 minutes walk from Blue Lagoon). I have lived on a tent on Mount Banahaw and hidden behind rocks and trees to use the "bathroom". BUT, if I am willing to pay extra for comfort, I better get my money's worth. I wrote more about that here: http://www.virtualtourist.com/hotels/Asia/Philippines/Province_of_Ilocos_Norte/Pagudpud-1388142/Hotels_and_Accommodations-Pagudpud-R-1.html |
