Hollywood Beach Cottages — Hotel in Luzon

The room, the rent and the beach:

The room? 2 bunk beds, good for 8 people if we’re talking about small to medium framed people. 2 pillows each bed, blanket, 2 bath towels only, 1 AC, sink, bath and toilet room, a cabinet, 1 fan and some books. No hot/cold water. Not that you’d need it this season as it’s scorching hot. The fan gave it away. The AC is modified so its not really cold in the room. They have a note kindly asking to turn off the electricity while out and about but you really wouldnt dare coz itll be so damn hot once you get back inside since the AC’s temp doesnt get cold enough to cool the entire room ( i wish i could say coldER, but nope.) The fan blows. But you and your bff would give out a cooler gush of wind if you puff at the same time. The bathroom has some sachets of shampoo, toothpaste and a bar of soap.

The price is just fine.

The cool gush of wind by the shore is just amazing. I loved it so much. Now the beach. Its full of, im not sure what its called, but it looked like a clump of jelly looking strings but its reddish. Manong bangkero said those are used for making sago. Its not really sticky. You just have to walk past those clumps by the shore/shallow waters. Then by the afternoon, when the waves come, they shift to the other part of the shore and youre path is sago-free😀!! However, i dont know if its the water or what but i went home with a terrible itch due to the stings i got while swimming. All of us felt it, that quick sting feeling while in the water, but theyre either wearing rash guard or shirts while i was wearing one-piece suit. I got red, way too itchy marks all over my torso and upper extremities. Had to wear long sleeves at work. Hehe. Two days, those marks are now wounds coz i couldnt help but scratch them all.

Bring your food. Far from the market. Otherwise, youll have Chippy for lunch, sige!

Now, someone told me that a room shouldnt matter when you travel coZ most times, youre outside, but then, some might disagree. With that in mind, this isnt for those who look for comfort while on vacation.

Oh! One more thing. Mura po ang pusit. 160 per kilo,...

After a trip at Mangaldan for a lecture , we stayed in Hollywood Cottages to have an overnight rest. The husband and wife owner , Dave and Mayet became an instant relatives as they cook our favorite sea food dinner and joined us in fellowship. ||||The next morning , we had a 2 kilometers walk along the beach which is a 10 step away from their perimeter . In fact we enjoyed the night sleep listening to the waves. ||||Will surely be back and finish some power point lecture modules for my Doctoral once a year, 5 Saturdays commitment , with Holy Angel University.||||I highly recommend the place for writers , teachers and couples who would like to finish their works and let Dave & Mayet do the marketing and cook for your favorite dishes. ||||DEAN ANTONIO...

5 star reviews in this place were outdated. I went there with family 3 days ago and the place smells like talipapa. We took airconditioned room and open cottage. I was full of hives after laying down the bed. And the most annoying part, this place was more of karaoke place than beach cottage. Very very very very loud karaoke all over the place. If you are a local that needs to scream and short term bed this will be ok but for anyone looking for to spend time with family near the beach, this is a big no. I gave 4 star for service only for the staff in the parking lot. Up to this day, I cannot believe that screaming starts 9:30am. Who knows up to what time in the night looks like 24 hours. Really unbelievable. Left, right and front of our cottage have karaokes in...
