Pensions in Ilocos Region

"I recently stayed at this hotel and, unfortunately, it felt much closer to a 3-star experience than the advertised 4 stars. For a property charging over $250 per night, the overall value and quality were disappointing. One major issue was the TV entertainment. There were virtually no channels available , not even basic local channels. The only option was to log into Netflix or other streaming services using your personal account, which can be difficult or impossible for international travelers due to regional restrictions and login verification requirements. The restaurant was another letdown. The menu was very limited, and the food prices were extremely high for the quality and selection offered. What made it more frustrating was the hotel’s policy against bringing outside food onto the property, although I noticed other guests eating Jollibee and other takeout food by the pool without any issue. The rules seemed inconsistent. The room amenities also did not meet expectations for a hotel in this price range. There were no bathrobes provided in the room, and when I requested robes, the hotel delivered child-sized ones that clearly did not fit an adult guest. Perhaps the most concerning issue was the water smell. The first time the faucet or shower was turned on, there was a strong sewage-like odor coming from the water, which was very unpleasant. Overall, this hotel charges luxury-level prices but fails to deliver a comfortable or polished experience. Very disappointing 😟"

"We had a wonderful stay at Balay ni Manuel ken Maria. The place has a true probinsya vibe—peaceful, quiet, and perfect for relaxing with family. The rooms are very spacious, and everything felt comfortable and welcoming. They also served a delicious breakfast, which was a great start to our day. Definitely a family-friendly place we’d love to visit again."

"The bathroom needs update, shower have very low pressure. The bed sheets were dusty and had scent of the previous people/person that stayed in our room. Our family end up getting sick with cough, feber and runny nose dur to too much dust. The staff were great and friendly. The food was nice, many options and taste great. It’s amazing how you have access to the pool and swimming pool. Also have overpriced tourist guide…"

"Beds are tough, a relic of past glory days. Needs to be updated. AC did not work as described. More then half of all electrical outlets did not work."

"The place is perfect for a family getaway. The pool finally worked, the 2nd day we where there, and the place was neat. Food we ordered during dinner was just so so, but there’s lot of great restaurant around you can consider with better price. Internet in the room doesn’t work, and smart has weak signal inside the room. The common area internet is strong, so be ready for such service"

"Hot shower is not working. Only the very cold shower. When you turn the handle to the left to get hot shower, the water in the shower heads was only dripping and no water pressure. No phones in the room. Had to go down every time to ask for assistance. I had to ask 3 times in one day just for someone to fix the issue and when someone finally came, they COULD NOT FIX IT!!! Quite disappointing "

"Great hotel! Excellent customer service! Levo Hotel is the best hotel in Urdaneta!"

"Enjoyed the breakfast buffet. A variety of foods. We were on C side. With pool view and it was lovely. Hotel seems to be doing some well needed upgrades. But delta clean and safe. And beach front. Similar vibes to Mexico. As a Canadian. "

"Worth every money you will spend on the resort. Staffs are also very kind"
