KOBE's BEACHFRONT HAVEN — Hotel in San Juan

Highlight: They are VERY hospitable and approachable!

We arrived earlier than 2PM and they let us stay at the sitting area facing the beach. Amazing view!

They also let us leave our bags so we can explore. When we got back, it’s still not check-in time but they let us check in already since the room is made.

The road going to the property is shared and it is really bumpy. Though when you got in, the place feels like homey. We got the sea view room as pictured.

They have hot showers, bidet, wifi, free water, coffee and sugar. Also an electric kettle. There’s a bar fridge you can use as well.

The AC is like 0.5HP I think bc it doesn’t entirely cool the whole room but they have fan anyway.

The bathroom has shampoo and body wash and tissue.

They serve breakfast which I think is worth the money considering the location. ₱190 for their silog. ₱30 for a cup of brewed coffee. Sulit!

They accept GCASH and Cash.

They also offer Laundry service which we tried at ₱80 per kilo, including detergent and fab con. also motorcycle rentals.

They also offer room cleaning during your stay.

Just note that when we stayed here, there is an ongoing construction on the neighboring property and we can hear the loud construction noises so we make sure to wake up early and go with our itinerary and go back around 5PM to avoid the noise.

Overall worth it! I hope the construction has completed when you stay here. Very peaceful and quiet if there’s no hammer banging and...

Hotel is right by the sea, and there's plenty of restaurants and services nearby including ATM. The room has the basic things you need, and each room as their own table and chairs outside. Staff is very friendly, and I really love they sell cold beer at regular store price (130 pesos for a large 1 liter Red Horse or San Miguel for instance). Restaurant serves simple breakfast dishes if you want to stay and be lazy. Room has water boiler and fridge, and the shower is hot and nice. Hotel provided in house laundry service which was great. There's free mineral water for guests.

Downsides? Wifi reception was a bit poor in the room, but mostly worked. There's no desk and chairs in the room but you improvise with...

It was a mixed experience overall. We booked 6 beds in a dormitory for 2 nights. Unfortunately, the locker keys got mixed up—one of my friends wasn’t able to access her belongings until the next day. We had left the keys before going to dinner, and they were placed under another friend’s pillow without informing us, which was a bit concerning—when we explicitly asked to notify us for any updates before leaving. Water pressure was also quite low to none at times.

The WIFI was very poor, but the location is great—right by the beach and easily accessible. The kitchen staff were really friendly and...
