La Union has become a favorite destination among weekend warriors from Manila; thanks to the swell in Urbiztondo that has turned San Juan into a resort town. Accessibility is another thing. Yes, San Juan is 5-7 hours away, but the journey is pretty straightforward. You just board a bus in Manila and you can alight right in Urbiztondo.
Over the past few years, San Juan has seen more restaurants mushroom along the main road and accommodation options sprout by the beach. During my visit, I really wanted to try Flotsam and Jetsam Hostel, but they were unfortunately fully booked at the time. I ended up trying three other accommodations in Urbiztondo that are on the cheaper end of the spectrum: Chill’n Resort, Urbiz Garden, and Hotel G, all of which were pretty satisfactory for its price.

But this edge of San Juan isn’t the only beach area in the province. The municipality of Bauang and the city of San Fernando also have a good selection of beach resorts that you might want to check out.
In this post, we’ve compiled the ten best-rated resorts, according to Agoda customers as of February 2020. This list doesn’t take the cost into consideration. We will be creating a separate post dedicated to budget options.
