Natsuca Beach Resort in Pagudpud — Hotel in Pagudpud

Well, first a little background. This was my fourth trip from USA to Philippines to visit my fiancee, and I got there just in time for all of the Xmas and New years festivities, and that was great. But my Fiancee wanted something more exciting to do, so I quickly planned a huge road trip through Illocos Norte to all of the sights. I hired an old dependable guy I used several times before and his huge van to take me, and the whole extended family too. The first stop on our journey was the Natsuca Beach resort, because they were pet friendly, and we were bringing Dorcas along with us.||||After a grueling overnight drive, we arrived t the resort, and were graciously welcomed by the owners. No check-in necessary, they were expecting us. We had booked the dormitory style room, because it had a lot of double Decker bunk beds, enough for everyone, even the driver. There is no food or restaurant facilities at this resort, but we sent our driver into town to buy us groceries and supplies.||||The beach was kind of rocky, and there were sharp rocks all along it. So we only went into the water a little. We tried to bring some shells and coral home with us, but the owners told us we had to put them back.||||We packed up and left the next morning feeling refreshed for the next leg of out illocos...

Location: It's located almost in the farthest end of the road. We almost got lost since waze is trying to direct us into a rough road beside a cliff. Definitely not a good place to pick if you're commuting. Plus, it's far from eateries and restaurants. The place doesn't have their own restaurant. ||||- Room: We rented a Kubo (4 Pax).

The shore is rocky, please wear your aqua shoes if you'd decide to explore the beach. ||||- Internet: Off the...

We booked via agoda and boy money's worth for just 1600php/night: Three 5inch queen size beds (the kids had a blasts jumping from one bed to the other) with comfortable cushion, pillows and clean blankets. Wide toilet... If your travelling on a budget-just bring diy food. Free use of kitchen (as in no added charge including drinking water). Thank you ate emi and her sister for taking good care of us. This is btw for a family of 4 (2adults and 2kids). True you can't swim on the beach front but its worth driving to saud beach (10mins) or blue lagoon. Super relax and chill. Stress relieved,...
