Pamulinawen Hotel

The room smells like mold all over, the beddings are terrible and the atmosphere feels like nobody's around

My concern is always the bathroom when staying in foreign countries especially when I am not staying in the city (provincial) area. However the cleanliness of the bathroom and the facility is comparable to the hotels Manila. Thumbs up to Pamulinawen. I would definitely stay here again. George A from Hawaii.

Lack of WIFI facilities.

Staff are courteous and friendly. Service was fast.
Overall room was poorly maintained, linens and towels missing. There are cracks on the walls specially the bathroom. Paying for extra pillow is ridiculous.

The hotel charges you to have two pillows per person , guest expectation to have 2 pillows on their head which mostly all hotels supply their guest. Their drainage system at the bath shower is very poor, your feet is submerged ankle deep when taking shower which unacceptable ( that dirty water ).

Great front desk and concierge service. Rooms are clean. But considering the price we paid, there isnt wifi in the rooms. Swimming pool does not look clean. It is a 15 minutes ride by tricycle to Robinson Mall which cost us 20-30 peso one way.

Except for the hotel restaurants, there are no places to eat around the hotel. I would consider Balai Condomiun which is walking distance to the Mall next time.

But great customer service though.

The hotel is okay but a bit pricey as compared to others n the area.

The room is okay and spacey, access to room is okay..

The hotel's location is along the highway a kilometer away from the city proper of San Nicolas, Ilocos Norte and a couple of kilometers to Laoag City. It's relatively new building and they have a very nice edifice. Basement parking is ample and they allow parking in front of the hotel.

The rooms are spacious with 2 double beds. No WiFi inside the room but is available in the hotel lobby which is according to my daughter, is unbearably slow. Cable TV has good signal and channels. The room also has a refrigerator, electric kettle, and an ample size cabinet. It would be nice if there was a vault inside.

There are outdoor pools for kids and adults but the water was quite turbid and I have a feeling that it was not being religiously maintained every day.

The room was at the very end of the hotel property. The window is facing the north side which has the view of the rice field, cockfighting farm, and a bus depot. During our first night, I requested that our beddings be changed because we experienced itchiness and suspected that dust mites may have been present in the sheets.

Our bookings include breakfast. The first day, we were served a la carte and the rest of our stays were all buffet. The food wasn't really that good. Choices were very limited and it was a managed buffet.

Overall, the stay was fairly good but I think it was overpriced. If it was not for the peak season we could have stayed in a far better hotel in Laoag with about the same price.

We stayed overnight before proceeding to Pagudpud.. Staff were friendly with a ready smile but location and view were not so good.. During breakfast, they ran out of Vigan longganisa that's why many of the guests were disappointed since it was just a little before 9am and breakfast time was supposed to be until 10am..

went through check in and out in a breeze!

Hotel was fully booked but they managed to accommodate my group (total 9pax) although my original booking was only for Deluxe Room which caters to max 2 adults only.

Front desk did not give our food stubs and refused to give us a discount even if it is their fault. They do not clean the rooms daily nor replenish the stocks. They did not even wash the cups and saucers we used! We had to ask someone to do it.

This resort was a BIG deception. It was nothing like the rating stated. There was no Hotel staff to greet us when we arrived. We had to take our bags in by our-self. There was no gift shop to get any necessities, No Laundry service. No internet available in our room, and the wi-fi in the lobby was horribly slow. There was no restaurant at night. It would close at 3 p.m. It seemed like this resort was going out of business. Many times we seemed like the only ones there "even though when we booked the room it said "There is only ONE ROOM LEFT". That simply was NOT true; the place was nearly deserted! Our Air conditioner flooded the floor "but they did fix it promptly. It is a nicer newer place, with nice spacious rooms "but I would never stay here again...

New and modern-designed hotel in on highway,but wer back from the highway, overlooking a farm at the rear and very acessible to Laoag and to Batac. Very goo Internet access in the lobby; good breakfast included with room in pleasant off-lobby restaurant. Modern in every respect. Will arrange vans for exploration at reasonable rates. Gabu Sur and beaches is nearby as is Laoag (Gabu Sur) airport with jet service to Manila. Well airconditioned and therefore also quiet. Electronic door looks. Some finishing touches still to be done.
