The bar area is nice and open. There's a pool table as well. They have live music and karaoke on certain days. The bar gets pretty packed. A local hangout. The beer was cold, and stayed cold. I definitely appreciated that. I didn't get to try the food too much except for a few breakfast items. The bangus was great. Longanisa was good. It's the local savory type, not sweet. The tocino was the sweet kind. Corned beef was made with fresh corned beef. The calamansi juice is very sweet. I would stay here again. I'd recommend this place for travelers coming through. Breakfast is included with your stay!

There is a mid sized pool, there are rooms on the main building with the top providing expansive views of the beach. There are also several cottages that can be used during the day if they are not booked or occupied. The beach can stretch to over a hundred meters on ebb tide. Rooms open to the front verandas where you can set up for al fresco dining. Rooms are clean and has airconditioning. Smart TVs where you can plug downloaded movies. There is an outhouse for communal cooking with gas stoves and sinks provided as well as prep areas. This is important because dining out can only give you the same options at some point. There are also hammocks, outdoor seating and lounge chairs and dining huts by the beach side. There is a convenience store by the corner for small stuff if you forgot something. Staff are responsive and accommodating. Prices are reasonable and competitive.

Everyone is very friendly, from the reception desk, to the restaurant staff and even the housekeepers! The massage offerings are also very nice!

Could not have asked for a better driver to take us around!

The service was pretty good overall! Though there were some small ups and downs like missing condiments or my cousin's Hawaiian burger missing pineapple but, the fries were definitely a highlight, hot and crispy. Prices are pretty affordable for tourists, and the view is absolutely stunning! Overall, it's a really cute resort with beautiful beach views. The prices are decent. If you're planning a big family trip, I'd probably recommend an Airbnb, but if it's just a few people, this could be the perfect spot. A lot of surfers come here, and for around $150 a night, you can get a family suite with 2 queen beds, pretty reasonable. Want something bigger? A 2-bedroom for 8 people with 4 queen beds runs about $330, which breaks down to roughly $45 per person per night if all 8 adults split it. Not bad at all for a fun beach getaway!

This is the place to be if you want a low-key accommodation, and if you also want the ease and convenience of being near all the important amenities of Banaue. They have a great cafe that serves good-sized portions. I kept coming back for the chop suey that was so fresh, it was a delight every time. The owners are also very nice because they let me use the upstairs conference room when I told them I need a quiet place with WiFi to work on my tasks (because who carries their work laptop with them when they go on vacation, right?). Anyway, if all that nice stuff isn't enough to convince you, know that their deck has a really nice view of the rice terraces. You don't even need an observation deck for a sweeping panorama view of the main attraction that Banaue has to offer: you just look outside of their cafe deck. One note about the rooms: don't expect too much out of your P250. Their for-sharing rooms are decent enough.

The owner approached us and asked us if we were looking for place to stay. We paid very little for a big hut with a big table and surrounding benches and a bamboo bed (papag.) They didn't have electricity during the day and the fans were not working, but we didn't care we had shade and the hut can be locked with your things in it to keep it safe. They also had airconditioned rooms if that's what your looking for. Day Rates and Overnight rates are available. The bathrooms were clean as well as the shower rooms. If you needed surf lessons, all you had to do was walk to Krystal Beach's Quiksilver Surfing lessons and you're done. Why pay for the expensive resorts when you can save money and enjoy more at JB's. You can grill food and the owner has ice as well. The beach on the other hand can be a little cleaner. Towards the end of the day there were dirty diapers and plastic bottles, from people passing by, but I think that's everywhere along that shoreline. People are just to lazy to carry their trash to the garbage cans.

Now, its a thriving resort community with a hotel, surfing school, restaurants and a view to a kill from the too of the hotel. San Juan Surf was my home for 4 days, coming back to serve as a commencement speaker and to train their educators and leaders as part of giving back to the old country I grew up in. The hotel offers a variety of rooms according to your preferneces, three floors of rooms that or perfect for vacationers or just stopping by to see the beach and enjoy a stride or better yet, a sunset or perhaps a surfing lesson. The rooms are not too classy, just enough for one or a couple but will offer an extra bed here and there, if you need to. The rooms might need upgrading, its a little old now and kinky but comfortable and cool. Step out into the restaurant and they serve food from 7-9:00 P.M. From Vigan Longaniza (sausages) to milfish and eggs with coffee or chocolate. Prices are very reasonable and the staff are wonderful and nice. If you want to explore and get out of your room at 5 A.M, their gates to the sea opens up life the seemingly metaphorical gateway to paradise, fine sa D, clean landscape with umbrellas and a horde of surf instructors waiting to take you under their wings for about 600 pesos per hour. There's also some of these folks trying to sell you souvenirs and other stuff but what's cool are photographers who'll take your live photos and transfer it on your phone for a couple of hundred pesos! What a deal for a hundred-thousand likes for social media enthusiasts? LOL Drive out to San Fernando and see along lists of food haven from large chains to simple pleasures manner by Mom and Pops serving local delicacies and culinary delights of the north. Don't worry about the menu, many offer fresh fish grilled to perfection and dishes that are not often seen in larger cities of even Los Angeles where I live and work. Drive farther to Pagudpud and you won't ignore the excellent local foods by the sea, too ...from their dinengdeng (vegetables) to dinakdakan (grilled pork with mayonnaise) or a seafood combo with all sorts of clams and shelled galore. I can go on and on but if you happen to go to this wonderful country and travel north, drop by San Juan Surf Resort and experience a little about the sun, sea, surf and wonderful hospitality of the Ilocanos.

We tried to pay with credit card when we checked in but they said only cash was accepted. A day later we saw a sign that said VISA was accepted here, so not sure what the actual deal is. The San Juan surf school is right in front of the resort on the beach and you can take a beginner lesson for 600php per hour or an intermediate/advanced for 700php. Breakfast every day is not included since the restaurant Coast Call Kitchen and Bar is separate from the hotel. The food at the restaurant is pretty good! Overall, it's a nice experience but I wouldn't come here expecting a 5-star hotel experience.

The only negatives for this hotel were- no cabinets for clothes. You have a small corner rack to hang clothes with 4 hangers provided.
