Its a 7 hr trip from manila to San Juan and one could ask oneself " is it worth it to travel this far just to go to another beach, another resort with a pool"? The resort itself alone is not. But the resort and the surfing is. I am here now with family and friends and I'm glad we... More

It has a pool, billiard table, bar/restaurant, cable, free wifi and massage services. The beach is accessible and suitable for bare feet walking. Swimming for kids and those adults who dont... More

Was expecting this place to have exacting standards as you'd find in places like Cebu or Boracay. Obviously light years behind those. Service was wanting as we had to unload most of luggage a ourselves. Not much care was given to bring us to our accommodations. Rooms were quaint and spartan - meets expectations though cleanliness required as mozzies of... More

I stayed here from February 17-20. After having taken the long bus ride from Pasay, it was amazing to walk into the lobby, and see the infinity pool and restaurant. The room was decent. I stayed in one of the garden rooms. The sheets and pillows were stained, and after I notified the staff of that they had them changed.... More

Very pleased with our stay. The staff was very helpful and accommodating. The room was very clean. We thought the the food was good, catering to many different tastes. We took advantage of the spa. My husband loved the hot stone massage. We arrived mid week and rented the ocean suite. We were practically the only ones there until Saturday.... More

We were here last Sunday to Monday. The front desk is very nice and accommodating and greeted us with smiles. We got the duplex garden rooms with connecting doors. There is no view from our rooms since duplex rooms are situated at the back. The air-conditioning unit at the other room is defective. We called for assistance and they immediately... More

Our dream destination wedding was held in this beautiful resort last February 8,2013. My sister found this place through the internet and so we only communicated thru e-mail with the marketing manager as we live overseas. It was not hard to get in touch with them because they replied promptly to all our inquiries. When we saw the resort a... More

I used to be a front desk agent at a corporate hotel, so I have some insight on how a hotel should operate. We called Kahuna the night before we left asking for a garden room (cheapest at 5k+) for 3 nights, and since we wanted to avoid traffic, we left Manila at 2am for an expected arrival around 8am....

We didn't realize that it was that worst till after the event. We held my sister’s wedding here last January. Everybody drove 5-7 hours away as majority are from Tarlac Province. On the day of her wedding it was misting on and off. We got there by 1:30 and the big event was supposed to start 4-5pm. Everything was well... More
