Find Hotels in Bauang, Philippines

The China Beach Resort was my best surprise during a month-long trip of the Philippines that included the "La Union" coast (Bauang). This hotel was a real gem, a reasonably priced place with a beautiful beachfront location, superbly kind and well-trained staff, first-rate food, good security, relatively modern rooms, reliable WiFi, and an peaceful feel. I recommend it with great enthusiasm!

Booked the trip last minute, and was very lucky to find this gem of a hotel. PROS: 1. It is located at Bauang Beach, which is about 10km from the main San Juan Beach area, and that isn't too bad IMHO. 2. The resort is beachfront, and the beach was OK for swimming versus the beach at San Juan, which is more conducive for Surfing (lots of waves). 3. The room we got was huge, very good value for money. CONS: 1. The TV remote (I think) of most rooms have been replaced with China models, where not all the functions of the TV works. Tip: you can borrow the original/master remote from the front desk, but would have to surrender immediately again after use. 2. The breakfast buffet lacked choices IMO. In the 2 days we stayed, we were served the same fish twice. Though this may have only been an aberration due to that it was Holy Week. Overall, very solid stay at Villa Estrella. Good choice if you can't get any accommodations at the San Juan side.

I would have given this 5 star if the beach can easily be accessed. Too bad the beach is far from the main resort. walking is not an option due to the heat of the sun. No free service going to the beach. Food is okay, pool and slides need to be fixed, some parts are rusted, not good for the kids. Love that they have attentive lifeguards when my daughter had a small cut- first aid was applied immediately.

we had great service the room was clean and cheap with good ac. the breakfest that comes with the room wash small but good.close to park and good pizza evean a 7-11 with u.s. beer.the view from window was nice like the city they drive fast watch out crossing streets.

Maybe a little pricey-Great service-friendly staff.20-30 peso ride on trike to town.Facing the front go left to Bauang-right to San fernando.Main highway you can take a jeepney 10 pesos and ride quite a distance toward San Fernando.Buaung good for walking around.A few good eating paces.Cheaper than the resort prices.Best nights to stay Tues-Thurs & check out Fri morn.Fri to Mon Karaoke gets pretty loud starts 2 pm until 8:30PM Room 3 good room-double bed for 1 or couple.1 min walk to the beach.Swim pool for kids/teens.Over-all I recommend Bu Boat-Great staff!I will go again.

Very comfortable, cool and spacious rooms.Honest staff! I left my laptop and they called me within the hour after leving their premises on my way to Vigan and Pagudpud. I got it back after 2-days on my way back and actually stayed again in their rooms before heading home to Manila.
