It’s hard to call this place a hotel, it actually reminds me more of a southern U.S. style Civil War building, at least when seen from the beach. The interior is nice, and is slowly being renovated.

It is a little out of the way, which is what I prefer. It’s past the Hilton and the Japanese restaurant and difficult to find. Call for directions.

It is a very relaxing atmosphere, and Ms. Aida is a most gracious host. I look forward to bringing my wife there for a romantic getaway.

Just a hair south of San Juan you can find the Little Surf Maid resort, plus some others, along a very nice beach.

Learning to surf will cost you 400 pesos per hour ($10.) The waves are good and from what I can tell the water is clean (compared to the nastiness a little further south by La Union.)

In the off season the Little Surf Maid is 3200 pesos for it’s most expensive suite. Nice room, two beds, a patio overlooking the beach, refrigerator, TV, aircon, separate living area from the bedrooms. Plus, the staff is very very friendly.

If you see Uffe (pronounced Oooh-Fay) tell him Victor sent you.

Pretty nice all through here, although if you head just a little north and go around the point, up to Sunset Bay or one of the resorts up there, the water is much cleaner.
