i booked through text and the staff named mae was very helpful and accommodating. the room is clean and has a nice smell especially the linens. though, the TV was small and was placed almost near the ceiling.... the only thing that i did not like was that they do not have a shaded parking space, so cars were parked...

the place is wonderful but if you go to the restaurant and happen to be served by a waitress named GRACE, you are in for a disappointing day/night. she treats you like an idiot!!!! i suggest you ask for another to serve you! More

For anyone to give this place a bad review I can't understand. The place has a very special feel to it. Not like a tourist place, just quite special! The beach certainly isn't the best, but if you ignore the colour of the sand on the beach (which you can from the hotel!), the place feels like paradise. Well, it... More

We stayed at The Final Option from 6/13/11 to 6/17/11 and had a wonderful time. We wanted to have a relaxed stay in an uncomplicated resort. We were pleasantly surprised with so much more. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. The wait staff greeted our 2 year old daughter every morning at breakfast by name. The food was excellent... More

My wife and kid plus two of our nephews stayed at Final Option for one night. We were coming back from Pagudpud, Laoag and Vigan and planning to go to Baguio but we were hesitant to drive to Baguio because of Thypoon Cheding. I stopped by at a corner Petron gas station in San Juan by the bypass to San... More

We had reservations for an overnight stay in this resort on Black Saturday. When we arrived, the front desk said that the guy in our rooms didn't want to leave. They even said that the guy was a Local Customs Collector. Huh? He could be the President for all I care! A reservation is a reservation is a reservation. So... More

Good Friday is the summer holiday in the Philippines and I guess this made things more complicated. So, we made our reservations a month in advance, deposited our down payment to a designated account and made our plans accordingly. Part of this plan was to spend a night at Final Option to break the 600-kilometer drive from Pagudpud. When we... More

The resort was simple, but we had great time with great atmosphere. The room is clean! The staffs are all friendly! The beach is nice. There is a feeling of being in your home! The place is always clean and well maintained! The room we got is designed in a very Philippine native house... bamboo! The place is actually quiet!... More

Our family likes to have our frequent get-aways outdoors usually beach/sea. This time we went for the second time to San Juan La Union as it boasts of being a surfing paradise. Surfing season for this part of in northern Philippines is from Oct - Mar. It took us about 1.5 hrs to get to PM Final Option Resort &... More

We were delighted to find so excellent food, perfect staff and a very friendly owner's couple. Especially we enjoyed the german dishes and drinks after many weeks in Asia - highly recommandable. Prices are absolute reasonable, just a little more than in "local" restaurants. Also Peter the owner supplied us with precious tipps for our stay in Luzon. More
