Very Good

Softfred - 2023-07-17

The Escape has a perfect location just in front of the beach, where you can watch the sea and surfers venturing the waves. The rooms are designed for groups of friends or families up to six people. Some agility is required because half of the beds are in lofts, so some climbing is required to get up there. The bathroom is divided into two separate rooms, a toilet and a shower room. The shower was excellent with good water pressure and also hot water available (in case you want it, which is seldom in tropical climate). Outside the rooms is a large patio with a wonderful view of the sea. There were drying racks outside every room for drying swimsuits and towels.

Just a minor remark: There is no breakfast buffet but you must order one of a selection of breakfast plates. However there are a few different Philippine plates, including rice, scrambled eggs, and some meat or fish, and one American/European version with toast, ham and scrambled eggs. Each one we tried was nice, so we were happy anyway.

Laa21 - 2023-02-02

Very cosy place with cute bunk style. The staff were really nice and super helpful!

It's understandable that the place caters mainly to big groups but we didn't realize that there was zero sound insulation in the rooms and that there was no restriction on noise especially on the shared balcony. Some group was really loud until midnight and we couldn't do much about it. Inside the rooms, there are no drawers or shelves to store things in. Not a problem with overnighters but would be really helpful for longer stays.

We had a pleasant experience overall and would recommend to friends and family.

Zyra - 2023-12-19

Clean and beachfront accommodation, near all bars and restaurants. The place is very clean and spacious, good for big groups/families. Kuya Darwin was especially pleasant and informative.

1. Could do with more tables & wardrobe/cabinets to put clothes and bags. The rooms can easily get cluttered with all our belongings. 2. Water became an issue too, although was easily fixed. 3. Could do with more showers to clean your body/feet from sand before going to your rooms. 4. Nowhere to put toiletries by sink too.

I believe that the attitude of the staff is the first and foremost reason for an excellent stay.

Benilda - 2023-10-10

I super like the staff. They are very kind, and very attentive. I also liked the room layout that maximizes the space to be occupied by many comfortably. The water pressure is also good. Location is quiet. The place is clean.

This is wishful thinking but parking is a challenge. The low beds are very challenging for the seniors. Also, hoping for a television inside the room for entertainment. It can't be helped but there are some occasional ants, too.

Overall, my stay was very good. The staff is friendly, convenient restaurant on-site with good food

Ruthelyn - 2023-05-24

The location is right at the beach. The beach directly in front is suitable for more experienced surfers due to the size of the waves and the spiky corral. The section for swimming and beginners is walking distance so not a huge setback.

The parking lot is very small and tight. The 1 room, 1 car policy is undesirable especially if you're renting a 6-8 person room.

Overall, it’s comfortable and has a nice location. We were able to do our purpose which is a company outing.

Dana - 2023-01-19

I like how the rooms are big and can fit a group of people.

I think there are days were they are shortstaffed. I remember talking to the person in messenger and she mentioned our booking includes breakfast. When we arrived, she mentioned it was not. There were a misunderstanding on her part. What she did was she free us with one breakfast and 2nd day is 50% off.

The place is very beautiful and its giving but for us, its only good for surfers and Gen z or Gen X teenies only…

Sarahbeth - 2023-11-13

Since the resort is located in beachfront its connvenient for us to roam around especially for my mother which is already as senior, and its quite accessible on other establishements there..

The room is ok but i thought its a little big space, its different in pictures than actual..

Parking is the problem.. because it was small.. once other guest check out, they will call you and disturbed you to remove your car.. even you are in the beach..

Ale - 2024-03-11

The place is near the beach and restaurants. Staffs are friendly and approachable.

The clothes rack inside the bathroom are too high. No enough place for toiletries.

Perfect for a group

Glecer - 2023-02-23

The location is in the middle of the main San Juan beach area. The AC cooled the room quickly.

The WiFi and mobile date was intermittent in the room during our stay.
