    What we didn’t like, but completely understood, was the amoy luom or damp smell from the pillows and some parts of the room, most likely a result of typhoon Emong. It wasn’t a major issue, but definitely noticeable. Also, while the room itself was stylish and well-decorated, the CR didn’t match the same level of design. It was clean and functional, just a bit plain in comparison to the rest of the space. Lastly, there was no signal inside the room, but this wasn’t a big deal thanks to the strong WiFi.

    What we liked most about The Escape La Union was how accommodating and responsive the staff were. When our original room was affected, they quickly moved us to a bigger one without hassle such a smooth experience. The beachfront view was beautiful and relaxing, especially with the bean bags, table, and chairs outside the rooms where we could just sit back and enjoy the waves. We also appreciated the personal sampayan outside each room, which was super convenient after spending time at the beach. The location was perfect too… close to the center of all the popular food and hangout spots, which made everything accessible. One of the best parts of our stay was the boodle fight dinner. Sobrang sulit, malalakas kami kumain pero di pa rin naubos! On top of that, the WiFi was fast and reliable, which made up for the lack of mobile signal inside the room. The staff were consistently warm, helpful, and easy to approach from check-in to check-out.

    Shower in the room provides small amount of water so it takes time to take a bath. The main door lock is hard to open. The breakfast serving was too small and yet it is expensive.

    The room was perfect for our family. The dinner is delicious.

    The exhaust fan needs to be cleaned as it does not do its purpose anymore, the foul smell after bowel movement can be smelled inside the room so the exhaust fan needs to be turned on always. That's all.

    The room is clean and perfect for short stay in La Union. Very accessible to food stalls, cafe and by the beach!! The staff are very friendly and prompt to address your concern. They also provide meals and have billiards you can rent.

    1. Could do with more tables & wardrobe/cabinets to put clothes and bags. The rooms can easily get cluttered with all our belongings. 2. Water became an issue too, although was easily fixed. 3. Could do with more showers to clean your body/feet from sand before going to your rooms. 4. Nowhere to put toiletries by sink too.

    Clean and beachfront accommodation, near all bars and restaurants. The place is very clean and spacious, good for big groups/families. Kuya Darwin was especially pleasant and informative.

    The room is ok but i thought its a little big space, its different in pictures than actual..

    Since the resort is located in beachfront its connvenient for us to roam around especially for my mother which is already as senior, and its quite accessible on other establishements there..

    This is wishful thinking but parking is a challenge. The low beds are very challenging for the seniors. Also, hoping for a television inside the room for entertainment. It can't be helped but there are some occasional ants, too.

    I super like the staff. They are very kind, and very attentive. I also liked the room layout that maximizes the space to be occupied by many comfortably. The water pressure is also good. Location is quiet. The place is clean.

    Just a minor remark: There is no breakfast buffet but you must order one of a selection of breakfast plates. However there are a few different Philippine plates, including rice, scrambled eggs, and some meat or fish, and one American/European version with toast, ham and scrambled eggs. Each one we tried was nice, so we were happy anyway.

    The Escape has a perfect location just in front of the beach, where you can watch the sea and surfers venturing the waves. The rooms are designed for groups of friends or families up to six people. Some agility is required because half of the beds are in lofts, so some climbing is required to get up there. The bathroom is divided into two separate rooms, a toilet and a shower room. The shower was excellent with good water pressure and also hot water available (in case you want it, which is seldom in tropical climate). Outside the rooms is a large patio with a wonderful view of the sea. There were drying racks outside every room for drying swimsuits and towels.

    The parking lot is very small and tight. The 1 room, 1 car policy is undesirable especially if you're renting a 6-8 person room.

    The location is right at the beach. The beach directly in front is suitable for more experienced surfers due to the size of the waves and the spiky corral. The section for swimming and beginners is walking distance so not a huge setback.
