Dinadiawan Agri Beach Resort — Hotel in Luzon

It's a big property in front of Dinadiawan's great white sand beach (they have their exclusive access).

The property is clean and modern with an infinity pool. I am amazed by how modern and hugr this property is so I asked who is the developer. I'm surprised to find out it's owned by a private individual, which sounds very familiar. I studied in Isabela for 4 years so I'm pretty familiar of the usual family names so when I heard who the owner is, I said the name sounds very Isabela (Elmer Baquiran). Go look it up in Google, and found out for yourself. It totally made sense why a huge property from a local developer would be in a place like Dipaculao; big developers wouldn't normally invest in a place without a stable network service.

I stayed with my long-time partner and 2 big senior dogs. The only rooms that can accommodate dogs are the modular container van rooms. It's small, bed is decent but with a blanket good for only one person. The bathroom is something else. Totally not worth the PHP3,000/night that's all I can say about it. Can't complain since we have dogs but it would've been nice to have a decent bathroom for the price. If you also want to swim in the pool, you have to pay 50/person if you're staying in the PHP 3k-worth modular room, I don't understand why. The other rooms are nice and new. They said they're going to remove the modular rooms in the future & turn it into a restaurant. The room comes with a free breakfast, it's 2 dishes with egg and rice. Not bad. But if you're particular with your coffee, bring your own as they only serve 3-in-1 coffee. They also don't serve meals for 2-3 pax, they only cook for 4 pax and more which is a little pricey. But you can eat outside the resort, there are lots of eateries outside by the highway.

There are no stable mobile phone network, not good for remote workers. But the resort offers a wifi voucher for 1 day at PHP100 per device. If you're looking for peace and quiet, this is your place. The beach is still worth it.

Overall, it felt like sleeping overnight at Pablo Escobar's property, only that it's from people's fund. 🥴 I hope I'm wrong from what I've read online. It's huge, it's new, and has a potential. Might come back with friends and stay there as a stopover before going to Quirino...

weary souls craving to recharge with a doze of vitamin sea.||dinadiawan beach is a 6+hrs drive from manila on paved and twisty roads.||heard of this place in aurora from a friend, the waves are calmer, the sand whiter and calmer than that of baler.||we stayed in agri beach resort, and booked an A/C room as we didn't look for accommodations till the last minute. luckily they have an available room that day. if you're feeling a little rustic and would be willing to rough it up a bit, they also offer tents that you can use during your stay.||the room is pretty bare with 2 double beds, an ensuite bathroom with water heater. it also comes with an extra mattress just in case you come in a bigger group. they also provided some toiletries but no towels. did i say free plated breakfast comes with the booking?||reading reviews for this area would almost always advise to bring your own food as restaurants are far in between and the market is a few KMs away. Agri beach has its own resto but prices are sky high.||since we didn't really come prepared we opted to explore the town which is about 5mins drive from the resort, it has several rolling stores and local eateries to choose from. food there is cheaper and you can stock up on your beer or refreshments.||overall the experience is quite satisfying, and just hit the right spot in recharging you for the work week ahead.||if you are looking to unplug from the chaotic metro, you should give...
