Hotel Review: Lola Nanny’s, San Juan, La Union, the Philippines

February 1, 2012 By Laura Dal Farra 25 Comments

Located steps from the sea along Urbiztondo beach, Lola Nanny’s offers accommodation for the guest on a budget. At time of writing, a basic rooms with a fan, shared lavatories and an outdoor (no privacy) shower begin at 500 PHP (11.70 USD) at time of writing. Rooftop bungalows, meaning a bamboo thatched personal hut located on the roof of the main building begin at 400 PHP (9.36 USD). Rooms with aircon and private bathrooms are also available.

 

I rented a 500 PHP room for one night. Basic? Definitely. Clean? No complaints. This includes the shared facilities.

Lola Nanny’s Bonus Points

 

1. The food. Worth the trip over from another resort (and MSG free).

 

2. The warmth of the staff.

ย Would I Go Back?

 

I would, although Lola Nanny’s wouldn’t be my first choice along the Urbiztondo stretch.

 

Have you stayed at Lola Nanny’s? If you have, please tell us about it!

She spent the next 3.5 years training in traditional Muay Thai gyms, pushing her limits, and embracing the unknown. Realizing little was being written on the subject, she began to blog about it.

    Hi, Planning to go next month to La Union. Is Lola Nanny’s ver near San Juan Surf Resort? How long does it take to walk from San Juan Surf Resort? Or what is the nearest San Juan Surf Resort? My sister is staying there but they are fully booked. We are wanting to check in at the nearest resort near it, one that’s walking distance and not so expensive. Hope you can help. Thanks! ๐Ÿ™‚

    hi nats. lola nanny’s is a short walk from san juan surf resort (i.e. a few minutes walk along the beach). they’re really close to one another, just not side by side. enjoy your time in san juan!

    hi Laura,

    I’m planning to go to San Juan this weekend, do you think this resort offers a Whole Day Accommodation only? as we are not going to spend the night there. Probably 8AM to 5PM, or something like that. ๐Ÿ™‚

    Cheers!
