Pagudpud Rinnovati Beach Resort

No water, flush not working, cockroaches, ants, very hot, dirty bathroom floors

Good

The property is a bit worn out, and the options for dining at night are severely limited.

The property location is great - steps from the beautiful beach. The staff's friendliness and willingness to help were outstanding. However, the property itself leaves a lot to be desired. I had to move to three different rooms in order to find one that was passable. Nonfunctioning toilet in one room, bugs and no toilet seat in another. Single tap with no hot water, shower has small hot water heater that did not turn on, water pressure so low that the shower had a large bucket to fill with water and a small one-armed scoop to dip and pur the water over yourself.

This property has "Resort" in its name but does not have any amenities that would be consistent with that. You get a room and that's it.

Certainly at under $30 at night it is not realistic to expect a fancy place. But regardless of cost, I do expect the bare minimum such as hot water, working toilets, and the ability to take a proper shower.

Expedia should require all hotel listings to meet basic standards and to post a warning if it does not. Perhaps this hotel is geared to local standards, but it needs to say that.

The staff was great, but there's really nothing they can do to deal with the significant shortcomings of this property.

Quite

Convenient access to the beach. I didn't like that I had to ask for toilet paper and trash can for the room/bathroom. Water is weak at the second floor that there is a bucket and dipper to use for shower.

Very friendly service. Very convenient as it is only less than a minute walk to the beach.

Improve cleanliness and facilities

Good and very comfortable

Stayed from Feb 23-25 2020. 4 Adults and 3 month old :). I spoke with Froilan regarding our early arrival at the Partas terminal in Pagudpud and they were nice enough to allow us an early check in (10AM). Jenny was very welcoming, helpful and patient on arranging our tour, breakfast requests, needs etc (we had a lot of questions and requests). The resort was a few steps away the beach!

I'm sorry to say that there wasn't much to like, if anything at all. There were stains on the bedsheets, ants perpetually crawling up and down the walls, the staff were hardly ever around to address problems, there was noise from construction, no bath towels when we arrived (given the next day after asking for them), and the staff and i went back and forth for 3 hours trying to get the right wifi password. One of the reasons we chose this place was because they advertise access to a kitchen so we can cook meals and save some money, but the filthy state of the kitchen made us second guess our plans, but we stuck it out and used the charcoal bbq that they have. I don't believe that we'll be coming back.

The room was noice, and the hotel was in a convenient location so we could visit the sights we were interested in seeing. So overall it was a good stay.

Its in the province so not really much that can be said in a negative way. Staff was friendly and Evangelina's restaurant was excellent and the beach was great. Im satisfied with the overall performance

Reasonably clean. On arrival our blankets and towels were torn at several sections, however the staff took care of it and replaced them. I have to add another room at a much cheaper price.
The beach front though is rocky and not suitable for swimming. Walk 300 feet on your right and you’ll find the sandy area and swim to your heart’s delight.

walking distance to the beach. we stayed there for 3 days and 2 nights. it was raining there and they have occasional brown outs. the hotel staff are accommodating

This is a walking distance to the beach. The staff was helpful but always away from her desk. We tried to check out and had to go back 3 times as there was no one at the desk. They rented the place despite the fact that they are renovating and lots of noise everywhere you can not get any sleep or rest. The WiFi was either slow or not working. For 3 hours before we checked out there was no electricity and the air conditioner did not work. I have seen many beaches and I think Pagudod is overrated

Great stay

It was good

Nice.quiet area..only few people

This was our first hotel in our Northern Luzon trip. The building was an extension of the hotel so the exterior finish was still rough. There was no attendant when we got to the hotel at night and we had to wait for somebody to open the rooms. The bathroom in one room was not good. Water flow was weak; the shower was not working so we had to use the one in the other room. Toiletries were not enough for all of us. The saving grace was the beach.

I made a mistake of writing a similar review for Hotel de Veneto in Vigan. I was trying to contact you to make the correction but I couldn't correct it online. Will somebody email me so I can write my review of Hotel de Veneto in Vigan? We had a very good rating for that hotel.
