Dear Fellow Travel Adventurers... If you are expecting for a comfortable resort experience, please do not expect it from La Playa. Coming from our very recent escapade there, I have to say that the negative reviews ahead of this are TRUE! very poor water supply, frequent brown-outs, very unstable air-conditioning system brought about by the insufficient generators, no customer service...

Do not plan to stay here. We spent our Holy Week in CamSur, went to Caramoan on the second day, too bad, there's available accommodation for us here in La Playa.. Poor service! There's not enough supply of water, food order will take 3 hours or even longer. I will never go back to this place and definitely will not... More

They were the very first "resort" on Paniman Beach. You have a choice of fan-cooled tiny huts or small airconditioned rooms. The huts are made of wood and thatch with a raised platform for your bed. Barebulbs for illumination - not even a chair or a table to put your stuff on. You can't leave anything of value in the... More

La Playa Camp Ground & Picnic Grounds - looks like a nice place to stay, but the management is serious cheating on guests and clients. - We had just lately about 29 complains from a bigger group... - Suddenly they did charge for guests which are already gone and have paid already - same with people who share a room,...

We were a group of 9 and only paid 1,300/pax, inclusive of the food, pick-up and island hopping. I was actually expecting the worst accommodation, thinking what I will get with my 1,300 rate. But I was pleasantly surprised to see that aside from Gota Beach Resort (which would cost you a fortune), La Playa is one of the best... More

Don't let the trike drivers discourage you on staying in town proper or centro. Get away from the karaoke, trikes & crowds. We took the longer route by taking the bus to Caramoan which took us 16 hours of total travel time. We almost gave up & stayed in one of the town proper inns. Good thing we read a... More

Minus their erratic electricity, our stay was more than what we even paid for. Best rate we got for an overnight package including accommodation on 2 family air conditioned rooms, full meals, shuttle from and to the port, as well as island hopping. Although the food they served did not have the wow factor, the AC in our room was... More

Ome (the owner of La Playa) made us feel extremely welcome in our air conditioned wooden huts by the beach. This is one of the few beach-front properties in Caramoan and staying here will save you the 30 minute journey from Centro (the township) to the port where the boats leave for island hopping. Facilities are basic (shared bathrooms)... but... More
