Baler hotels & places to stay

I love this hotel! The rooms are great value for money with a very clean and beachy kind of aesthetic. The staff are also quite attentive and super mindful of their guests. The resort is actually 20 minutes away from all the hip and happening places in baler so it can be hard to find food late at night. So they make it a point to knock at every room just to inform guests about their last call for food. That way, you can either order ASAP or get out to look for food elsewhere. The food here's great by the way. Their lunch meals are affordable at around php300 per dish which is good for sharing by 2-3 people (depends how hungry you are). They have a limited breakfast set, but my friends loved the mountain breakfast which has 'naked' longganisa with 2 eggs (scrambled or sunny side, your choice), rice and brewed coffee. I had the american which has 2 pancakes with melted cheese on top. Don't expect pancake house quality, but it's really not had for php80.

I have been to baler twice now. We booked at this hotel in a rush (we were already otw to baler). Upon arriving early, they allowed us to stay and rest to one of their room, but encouraged us to wait for another hour so that we can avail of the room upstairs with a balcony facing the ocean. We were not disappointed. the room was veeeeeeeery clean. I have been to a lot of hotels both local and international and I can say that this was one of the cleanest I have been to. It's as if you were the very first guest in a brand new hotel. We have ab AC in our room but who needs it when the wind freely blows from the ocean straight to your room. They even have a personal electric kettle for boiling water (which is really a good thing for me compared to most hotels were you need to go out of you room to get a hot water ) The best thing about our stay here is the staff. Believe me when I say that they are very very accomodating and friendly. They even have a guide complete with suggested itinerary, tourist spots, restaurants, time/schedule or each and entrance fee infos. I found this very helpful since a lot of the items indicated here were not found online. the only reason I gave 4 stars for the facilities is because they dont have phone in their room and the parking is limited. But this is actually not an issue since the caretaker is only downstairs and there will always be a parking slot nearby. Will definitely be back here again!

We we're supposed to stay on October 15-16, but we opted to move our Baler trip on October 29-30 due to typhoon Karen. The staff (Kuya Sam) was very accommodating and re-scheduled our stay without any hassle. Upon arrival he let us choose which room to stay in. The rooms were very spacious and clean. It was enough for 4 people but there were only the two of us. The air conditioning was not very effective though and there was no water heater. It was a little far from the town center or the beach but it will only take about 5 minutes by tricycle to get either location. They also offered a tour package of Baler via a tricycle and was very flexible enough to stretch our tour over two days (we went to the the Millennium Tree on the first day and continued the rest of the tour on the second day). The staff was also generous enough to let us extend our checkout a few more hours until after we have finished the tour without any additional fee.

The day before I check out. 10PM at night, I was seriously sick, the owner drive me to hospital and waited their for me to do all the test, it was pouring by that time, and when I felt better, she sent her families to pick me up from the hospital back to the hotel again. By the time it was almost 1:30 in the morning and it was bucketing down. Thanks for everything you guys have done. A great family. BTW, food there is good, i actually only left the hotel when I was surfing. The hotel is just by the sea, ez access to the beach.

Aura Marina is highly recommended for those who enjoy a serene and relaxing vacation. It is far from the town proper, but the comfort offered by the hotel is worth it. In fact, we stayed in the hotel most of the time. After witnessing a crowded Sabang Beach is, I was really glad we booked Aura Marina. It is also near some of the other interesting sights like the Diguisit Rock Formations, Dicasalarin Cove, and Lighthouse Baler. The food is fantastic. Their Kaya toast and Laksa are the best I have tried in the Phil.

The hostel is quite near the beach; so, it's really convenient. It's my first time in Baler and in this kind of hostel so I got a little bit anxious with interacting with fellow travellers as well as with the locals. What's great about this place for me is the 'tenants' and the people managing the place. They made us feel welcome and also gave tips on where to go and what to do in Baler. I'll definitely recommend this place to my friends/colleagues.

Definitely worth every peso especially with the breakfast they served! They have their own farm so expect fresh fruits and surprisingly really good presentation as well. We asked them to prepare dinner for us (group of 8), and we were seriously impressed with the quality and amount of food they served - and for a really good price! Half of what we would spend if we went to one of the restaurants along Sabang Beach. It's about a 10-minute drive away from Sabang beach, so it's still pretty well located. Rooms were simple but clean. We had the whole place almost to ourselves, which made it even more fun! They have an organic herb garden where you can buy lavender, oregano, sage, rosemary, lemon balm plants if you're into gardening. Will definitely go back to this resort when we go back to Baler!

It's more than a place just for sleep. I met people from all over the world, Philippines, France, Englan, Switzerland and so on. We share our stories, traditions, cultures and passions. It's my first time abroad, and people there show me the right way to travele: be open for different ideas, and sharing everything you get. By the way, they get another Cicle Hostel near San Juan beach, I transfered to that one after two days because there was a storm in Baler.

The staff was very accomodating. If you're not part of a tour group then they can help you with arrangements like transpo, tours of your own, surfing instructor, etc. It's not beachfront, but the beach is only a 5-minute walk away. It also has a well-equipped kitchen if you're planning to cook in and save money. The accommodation is suitable. With aircon and fan. The toilet is big enough. Has hot water, free towels. They even have a clothes rack with hangers for your wet clothes. I found that very convenient. All in all, value for your money.

Zach transients house. Icalled ms.myline tolentino and she's very accomodating.irecomend Zach transient house because it's clean n near the beach u can walk anytime u want to surf. We are five n msmyline did not charge additional to us only what we pay to agoda. If u are planning to-go to baler look for Zach transient house it's worth ur 💰 for abudget traveller like us. She recomend day tour also for alow price and for that we thank kuya Raymond for being kind n patient to us. Surely we will come back to baler because the people there is tourist friendly even to budget tourist like us. HoRay to baler until nxt time

The room we booked was a family room for 6 (3 bunk-beds). There's a bathroom inside and a TV. There was no Wifi (which is okay since I want the kids to detach from gadgets during our short vacay). The room was very clean and spacious (two more beds would still fit in). The aircondition was very cold. It's very close to the beach but does not cost as much as the beach-front hotels. It's very cheap and yet still accessible to both the town and the beach. They sometimes sell Takoyaki, Yakisoba and Okonomiyaki which are cooked by Ms. Jennie's husband who is a real Japanese Chef. But the biggest positive factor that made our stay a very memorable one is Ms. Jennie. She was, by far, the most accommodating, very kind, and the happiest person I've met in Baler (and to think that Baler has many nice and kind people). I WILL DEFINITELY STAY AGAIN AT BALER DARSHANS! :)

Rushies Point became Russians Point for two weeks for us and another couple from Russia :) Hosts family was really kind and accommodating. Homer gave me to use his surfboard for free. For me was a new experience playing together with Filipino musicians on stage of Rushies Point bar. Homer also proved a wonderful cook, he prepared the best I ever eat vegetarian burgers, when my girlfriend said that she is tired of meat dishes :) I advise everyone who is going to visit Baler, stay in this lovely hotel.

It was a very pleasant experience. The owners (Tita Myra and her hubby) are VERY accommodating, nice, and eager to please. They live right next door, and are quick to assist. The upkeep of the house was excellent. The interiors felt a lot like your grandparents' house, but this adds charm to the place on its own way. The shared bathroom is no issue: there are two bathrooms--one upstairs and one near the kitchen. The kitchenette and small dining area were also thoughtfully included in the offer. They didn't charge us extra to use the gas for boiling water (other inns wouldn't bat an eyelash in charging us P150 for that). There was a ref available, but we didn't ask anymore about it since we always eat out anyways. We were pretty nervous about the Ordinary Room, but to our pleasant surprise, it was really cozy. The room had two windows plus it's near the balcony. As it was December when we visited, the lack of AC was definitely NOT an issue. The room was cool--we even had to use our blankets! Hangers were made available to us, as well as TWO outlets to charge our devices. (Which we weren't able to take advantage of--I forgot to bring a charger, argh!) I think the room could definitely use a trash can, though. The place is just a few minutes walk away from the rolling stores, the Museo de Baler, Sabang Beach, the tricycles, and the town center. Not many tricycle drivers know the place yet. Should you choose to stay here (please do, it's great!), just tell them it's the transient house near the Fellowship Church where Tita Myra and her hubby are pastors. All in all, it's definitely a great choice to stay in Baler. P.S.: be sure to check out the Aurora photo coffee book beside their log book in the receiving area. Great treasure trove of stuff to know about the province!

The apartment is spacious but is not worth the price that we paid. It is not well maintained, and the aircon in the masters bedroom was not cooling fast enough. The doorknob of the main door was not working properly. We were could not open and it took the caretaker some time to finally open it. It is not recommended if you do not have your own car as it is a bit far from the downtown plaza and from the beach. The only good thing is that you can cook, and the caretaker lives right in front of the apartment where they can attend to your needs in quick turn-around. Manong Gerry, the tour guide is super nice as he is the best tourist guide I have met. He assisted us beyond our expectations.

The place was peaceful and the room was very homey and the design was to my liking. It is just along the highway. So, if you're travelling solo you will feel safe even if you will come back late. The only things that need improvement are the AC which gets noisy at times, the water coming out of the hot/cold shower is not that strong, and the shower sink is clogged. By the way, the property contact needs to be updated.
