Alfonso Castaneda hotel rooms a the Independent

"The swimming pool on the second flr; the hotel is ocean front"

"HIDDEN GEM IN BALER!!! 😍 You won't see this hotel much if you google hotels in Baler, but deym... we just passed by this hotel when trying to check the famous ones in the area. And thank God we went back since the others we've checked were downers. This has it ALL - Cheap (2k/night/room w/veranda, w/ superb breakfast + free parking), breathtaking roofdeck that has the view of the beach and mountain ranges, super nice and accommodating staff attending to all of your needs 24/7, clean, quiet and...

"Great accommodation, this place is highly recommended."

"Accommodating and very friendly staff. "

"The room is literally just bed, i asked the front desk what’s the amenities in the hotel and she said it’s just a room and the picture of Nipa hut in the internet was all the way to the back it’s hard to find. We end up going to look somewhere so we can eat and have fun "

"This property is a steal! Super affordable price, beach front, and hospitable staff (Ate Emma). The only thing missing is wifi, but for it's price, you won't mind. The place is near degisit and Lighthouse, ermita hill, and there are many stores where you can buy. This is a budget-friendly but nice place. Thanks ASJ and Ate Emma!"

"Friendly staff and very close to the beach, small room otherwise clean..toiletries not provided , bring your own essentials needs..no kettle or cups for morning coffee, good for 1 night stay.. ."

"Cramped for 4 persons. Not well maintained. The hut smells fusty. However, water supply is ok, heater is working fine. Job, the caretaker is accommodating."
