We stayed in a Superior Room for 3 days and 2 nights as a family of 4 adults and 1 child. Room: The room was spacious, well-maintained, and clean. There were enough wall sockets, and it was easy to request essentials when needed. I really enjoyed the drip coffee provided—it was very good! The only minor issue was the door, which was difficult to close at first, but when we called for assistance, someone came right away and fixed it. Understandable since it was rainy season, and wood can expand. The slippers were also not the usual thin hotel type, but actual Beachwalk brand ones—very comfortable! Breakfast: Our booking came with complimentary breakfast for 4 adults. Breakfast was buffet style with an egg station, pancakes and cereals for kids, a good bread selection, and coffee. The food quality was great. I just wish they also had hot chocolate, but at least they served juices. Overall, very satisfying. Restaurant: At first, we thought there were other restaurants nearby, but since it was a bit of a hassle to go out, we ended up having lunch and dinner at the in-house restaurant throughout our stay. The servers were very attentive and kind. Food was tasty, but I found the options a little limited and portions just okay. Prices were on the higher side too. Hopefully on our next visit, they’ll have more menu choices. On the plus side, they do have al fresco dining available if you’re bringing your pets with you! Pet-Friendly?: I specifically found La Jolla by using the “Pets Allowed” filter, as I had planned to bring my shih tzu. However, I overlooked the detail that the Superior Room we booked does not allow pets. They do have a clear pet policy—it was just my mistake not reading it thoroughly. Pets are only allowed in certain rooms, with an additional fee per pet. Finding truly pet-friendly hotels outside Manila is still quite challenging, but it’s nice that this resort at least offers pet-friendly options. I do hope in the future they’ll extend this to all room types. Beach: For a quick getaway, the beach was beautiful and well-maintained. It does have a lot of rocks, so I recommend bringing proper footwear to enjoy it fully. Lifeguards were present, and there were also water activities available. Cottages and beach chairs were sufficient for the number of guests. Pool: The resort has three pool areas. Unfortunately, the infinity pool was under renovation during our stay, but we used the Pool Villa area near our room. It was well-maintained, had a lifeguard, and provided beach towels. There was also a jacuzzi, and my nephew especially enjoyed the 3ft kiddie pool. Hopefully next time the infinity pool by the beach will be ready—it looked very promising. Others: The resort grounds are quite large, but it wasn’t a problem getting around since they offer a free shuttle service. This was especially convenient for us traveling with seniors and kids. You can call for a shuttle to go to the restaurant or the beach (since the walk is a bit long a
