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.

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.

Amazing Beachfront Stay in La Union! We had a great time staying at this beachfront accommodation at The Escape San juan. The location is unbeatable—just steps away from the beach and walking distance to popular tourist spots and famous restaurants like Flotsam & Jetsam, kabsat and El Union Coffee. Also 8 mins drive away to halo halo de iloko. The place was clean, cozy, and had a relaxing vibe perfect for unwinding after a day of surfing or exploring. The staff were friendly and accommodating, always ready to help with anything we needed. I also appreciated the laid-back atmosphere and the beautiful sunset views right from the property. Highly recommended for anyone looking to enjoy La Union’s beach scene without sacrificing convenience or comfort!

I showed up confidently at their desk not knowing I booked the wrong date for our stay. I was there a whole day early to my non-refundable booking and thought that my friends a little killing me for this little mistake. Ate Emz comes to our rescue and contacts the owner who agreed to move our booking a day early, gave us a bigger room and did not charge us anything extra for the stay. Amazing service and excellent humanity! Will definitely book again and recommend to everyone I know!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Accommodating and helpful staff. Beachfront and the bar and terrace had a reallly nice view to the beach. Accessible and just a little walk to tourist spots but away from crowded parts of the beach.

There was a faint smell to the place probably from the drainage or something

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.

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.

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

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.

It was our second time staying at The Escape and im glad we were able to get a slot for valentines. I love it so much since it’s close to the beach, it’s peaceful, relaxing, spacious, and the staffs are very accommodating!
