마란드 패밀리 리조트

but please read carefully their posting because if you are looking for a beach front, this is not the one. There are 2 Marand resorts - this one and the Marand Beach Resort. Book the latter instead if you want a beach front; otherwise, you need to drive for 5 minutes or walk 10-15 minutes

Dont be confused with the 2 Marand Resorts! :) Marand Beach Resort is different from Marand Resort and Spa. Marand Resort and Spa (where we stayed) is located on main road/national highway, while Marand Beach Resort is inside a subdivision. Marand Resort and Spa isn’t beachfront but has huge pools and slides; they will allow you access to Marand Beach Resort which is their beachfront resort. Staff are nice and polite! Room needs improvement on its cleanliness though. Over-all, it’s a good place to stay in Bauang!

Overall experience was satisfactory, as my children were able to enjoy their stay. First downside was that I requested for a space at the parking area, but it wasn't given. I tried to understand the situation, as there was a wedding, so there were many visitors, but they could have reserved a priority spot for guests. The staff were very accommodating, and they showed commendable initiative to provide assistance, specially at the pool and the restaurant (Kuya Pabs, thank you!). During the night, however, we felt electric ground on the water outlets in our room, so we were transferred to a second room. Unfortunately, the water coming from the faucet in the second room was brown, so I reported it again. It was already 11pm, and we all needed to rest, so I lost my temper. But Ms. Rochelle from the front desk was able to handle the situation calmly and with so much patience. She helped us transfer to another room. Sadly, that third room was a downgrade, since the room no longer had a view. Management really needs to check the hotel facilities. Their human resources are already excellent. I hope that their other resources could keep up. Nevertheless, we were satisfied with the pool, food, and the warmth of staff hospitality.

The staff are not accommodating. The owner is also unprofessional. The room looks untidy and the hot shower only works after 20-30 minutes of waiting. It feels warm inside the room even with the AC on. The food is not warm. Overall, I DO NOT recommend this as it is not worth the price you pay. Worst hotel in La Union!

The hotel is very nice and family-friendly, and we had a comfortable stay overall. We understand their food policy since they offer dining options inside the hotel. We just hope there could be a bit more flexibility with outside food, especially for families with kids. Not all children prefer hotel food, so bringing small snacks or baon is sometimes necessary. We were advised that outside food may only be eaten inside the room, which we understand, though a little consideration for families would be greatly appreciated. Still, a pleasant stay, and we appreciate the service and accommodation.
