Charlie Does — Restaurant in Baler

1. Well-worth the money! It's super affordable. Cheapest out of town trip I've ever taken.||2) Walk across the street, cut through any of the resorts (though you have to eat at the resort you cut through), and Sabang (one of Baler's beaches) is right in front of you. If you walk leisurely, it'll take less than 5 minutes to get to the beach. Do your surfing thing or just enjoy the water and sun. ||2) No A/C but you won't need it -- the structure stays cool and the electric fans are enough; in fact, in the wee hours, I had to reach for a blanket. The structure was built with refurbished shipping containers and is kept cool by bamboo and nipa. It's an excellent example of tropical design. ||3) Clean & spacious shower and toilet and bidet; hot and cold water ||4) Clean room, fresh sheets & towels, clean smell, no roaches or other creatures invading your space or beds, sufficient outlets for charging your phones and whatnots||5) Our room had access to the peaceful herb garden at the back of the inn. We had our own deck where we did some cooking. You can bring a portable stove and cook your own food either in the communal area or at the garden in the back. ||6) The managers (Alfa & Nalds) are friendly, accommodating, and decent and they don't invade your privacy. ||7) There's a communal table at the center of the structure. There's another garden at the front of the structure.||8) If you need something comfortable, simple, and basic, this is for you. ||9) No smoking in the communal areas, but you can smoke in the back where there's a garden.||10) Text instructions and signs have a sense of humor ;)||11) Take care of disposing of your trash. There's a garbage box at the front of the structure. Can I just add: please don't leave your litter on the beach. It's gross, lazy, inconsiderate, and...

Pros|1. Hassle free reservation. |2. Laid back beach vibe.|3. Good wi-fi connection in the cafe.||Cons|1. Expensive for 2,000 AC room considering there are no toiletries provided. Plus, no TV. :(|2. It was raining when we arrived at the hotel, there were lots of ants, cockroaches and there's also a millipede inside our room!|3. The supposed sliding door of the CR is not sliding so you have to lift it to close.|4. I don't know if its just me or the laid back beach vibe effect but o find the place dirty and messy|||Since we cannot afford to sleep in that room environment, we tried to request for them to move us in a more decent room. Instead of assisting us, i just kept on hearing "wait lang po maam" . Apparently no one wants to talk to me for my concerns. So we just decided to move to other hotel. Come the next day, finally I got to talk to someone incharge and she apologized and returned half of...
