Great place to escape the hustle and bustle of the city! Balai Balatong is located inside a barangay and has kubo/hut theme with a touch of modern elegance. The rooms are well designed and are really clean.
We were lucky to book the place for our own on that day as it is a weekday for a very inexpensive price. We got the pool and entire place literally for our own for a day which is great! It could be priced double or triple for its current state of the rooms.
As the place is relatively new, just opened last 2024, there is no in house reception available. Works like an airbnb. No in house-resto yet. These two might be the reasons why they are holding on to pricing the rooms higher. Would have given them a perfect rating if these are available. There is a good restaurant though just in front of the place called Pha Ramen which is an aesthetically good restaurant serving good Pinoy dishes (and accepts credit cards).
Staffs are friendly and accommodating. We had an early flight the next day and they were able to arrange for our transfer to the airport.
We will surely come back!
The place is very convenient for getting around and shopping. The price is very reasonable; only minor improvements are needed to the work chair and hot shower. Overall, it's a good place to rest, leave your bags, and explore Ilocos Norte.
ผผู้ใช้ไม่ระบุชื่อThe sheets are clean but not the bed once you take a peek it's dirty. My partner felt unsafe with the window there's like an open back hallway where people can pass through easily and may enter through our room as the window was not tinted. People can easily break in. We just kept the curtain closed scared of what could happen. The front desk was not 24/7 attended. The guard sleeping too. I read that it's fine for left-stained bed sheets but they're already unclean. We booked online for convenience but when we arrived the staff just made us wait and did not seem aware of online bookings so we had to provide more proof plus they deduct hours for online bookings.
BBrandon HolleyAbsolutely wonderful. Jenny and Adrian took great care of us. 100 islands is great too (bring pesos!) The resort pool is huge. Food was masarap and service was even better. Maybe my favorite resort ever. Road in is bumpy for a km or so but we'll worth the destination.
JJun LeidoAlways a great stay here and each time is always a delight! Great location, wonderful staff - will let you get things done in San Fernando right! For a practical stay, this place is hard to beat.
HHania SaudagarNo electricity and water on first night and this are the only hotel that doesn't have generator. Still, clean and good hotel. The only problem is the electricity and water for the first night we stayed there.
BBillyRayRooms is for budget solo travelers and is quite small especially the shower area. Shower pressure was pretty much non-existing. No windows. For the price, I think it’s okay considering the location. WiFi is fast and smart TV. Complimentary breakfast was filling but if you are a heavy breakfast eater, you’ll definitely want to have another meal. Very helpful and courteous staffs.
