Playa Azul Baler

Easy to find the place The place is quiet

No elevator for senior citizen

Close to surfing areas and other places to stroll around.

Signing papers what is inside the hotel like how many soaps, towels etc. Not allowed to eat and drink your own food in the reception area and at the same time dining area. The air conditioning was loud.

Lage direkt am Meer. Parkplatz, Frühstück war ok .

Generelt veldig bra!

Litt sparsommelig på frokosten. At man kun får valget mellom kaffe eller juice fremstod pussig.

Clean and close to everywhere

None

location

not tidy enough

The staff was incredibly helpful and accommodating and the food at the restaurant was quite good.

I booked 3 ocean view quadruple deluxe rooms all right next to one another. Rooms 303 and 305 we're fine. The bathroom in room 304 smelled horrible even though it appeared clean. It was very apparent that it's a known issue since it was the only bathroom that had an air freshener in an attempt to cover up the sewage stench. The free wifi was unreliable and didn't work most of the time.

Friendly staff and comfy beds. Breakfast was good too. Super sulit stay.

Tolle Lage in erster Reihe am Boulevard. Pool ist andprechend. Zimmer geräumig. Frühdtück als Tellergericht war in Ordnung

Sauberkeit hätte besser sein können.

Excelent location.staff are very nice and helpful

Room little bit old.need some refubish but not a big deal

The staffs were all friendly and attended to our needs in a timely manner. The facilities are excellent especially rooms and toilets, kitchen and pool area. Thank you for making our stay comfortable. Kudos!

Nothing

Rooms are spacious and location is great as it's ocean front.

Bad smell coming from the toilet/bathroom despite of the exhaust fan running.

Das zimmer war in ordnung, leider gab es keinen föhn. Die lage des hotels ist sehr gut. Der ist ach schön

Das frühstück ist sehr limitiert, teilweise kann nicht mal bestellt werde was auf dem gutschein steht. Kein buffet. Keine früchte kein müesli, kein joghurt. Nur ein kaffe inbegriffen. Jedes weitere Getränk muss zusätzlich bezahlt werden. Entäuschend

The view, location is beach front with nice pool and good breakfast

Very good

None

The staff were accommodating and nice. The pool is heated.

I expected a beachfront place but I was not informed that there is a construction ongoing in front of the hotel which is inconvenient for the senior citizens o brought along. There was no Wi-Fi also

The location is good. Near everything and comfortable accommodation.

The construction infront of the property.

Staff are courteous and very accommodating...

Problem with water supply in our rooms...but we're transferred to other rooms expediently...

Kind & accomodating staff, clean, spacious C.R., view of the beach, delicious food.

No roof in the parking & no elevetor

*Clean big rooms, pool and overall hotel building *Friendly and very accomodating hotel staffs *Spacious parking *Beachside *Beside the hotel is a friendly place to rent surfboards or be coached by experienced local surfers (Charlie's Point) *Just outside the hotel, around afternoon up to night time, it will be lively and full of street food vendors and locals just enjoying the beach and the food

*Showers are located at the back (parking area) and it is too far from the swimming pool *Ventilation or Electric Fans if you're eating at their restaurant

Clean and close to what we wanted to do- surfing,flying kites and good food.

Floor was a bit slippery when it had water on it, understandable but staff were a slow in getting on top of it.

Their professionalism. They all smile

There is a construction going on right now. Going to the beach is a hussle

This place perfect for our group. We had originally booked another accommodation which was not to our liking, but thankfully Playa Azul was only walking distance from this and had been what everyone in our group was looking for. The rooms were spacious with balconies and breakfast was included each morning. We greatly enjoyed the use of the pool and the sea was just 5 steps away from the entrance. This place was also walking distance to numerous bars and restaurants and there would also be street vendors every night where we were able to eat authentic Filipino street foods and bbq. Overall, the rooms, locations and staff were great and couldn't have asked for a better place for our group.

Room is spacious, has all the basic necessities. Staff are friendly. Wifi is secure. TV has lots of channels and apps.

The airconditioner ruined our stay. It was noisy and uncomfortable because the fan/blower could not be turned off. It could only be switched to low mode but even in low fan mode and with the thermostat set at the highest temperature possible, the airconditioner would still blow uncomfortably cold air into the room that we had to cover our faces when sleeping. After the long drive to get to the hotel, one expected to be able to rest and sleep well. Because of the noise and the cold draft from the aircon, none of us enjoyed a good night sleep in the duration of our stay. In my opinion the property is overpriced (but so are most hotels in the area). The rate during our stay was comparable to a three-star hotel in Boracay but the amenities were not on par. Also for the price, hotels in other resort towns or islands offer buffet breakfast. Property does not respond to messages on booking.com.

The location is perfect right in front of the beach and so many nearby restaurants if you wish to eat outside. But Playa Azul's food is so good that we didn't bother eating out. I love their free breakfast, it's not oily/greasy. Just the right amount of how the good breakfast should be. Their staffs are very accomodating ang attentive to our needs. We requested to be transferred to a different room because the first we had kinda stinks or there's a foul smell coming through the drainage pipe from the hole of the CR. We were transferred immediately to another room.

There's a chance to get very loud and noisy outside as the street becomes very busy specially at night.

Staff was very accommodating and friendly. Good location, very near the beach, but quite far from the main area where the restaurants and activities are. Amenities are as listed. Hotel is always clean.

Restaurant food was quite subpar for its value. Hotel has high potential to be elevated towards a better standard given staff training, and improvements in their menu.

All is great. Nothing to complain. Staffs are accomodsting

Fried rice is so soft.

Didn’t get the room that I booked, no one told me until I discovered it myself and approached the receptionist. They gave me a refund though. There is less water coming from the sink faucet and shower, no hot water or either too hot or too cold but most of the time nothing at all. It was only sorted on our second night. Not an ideal check in and check out. No one help with the luggage, no one showed us the room, it’s like a do it yourself check in and check out. Reception closes at 10 pm, phone is off . There is one man by the gate and doesn’t know anything about the hotel as I need an iron that night. We stayed 2 nights 3 days and no one tidied up the room not even once. Requested for a beach towel on our last day and gave us a bath towel instead.

It’s close to the beach.

I booked four rooms for our family vacation and there were problems in the rooms where we stayed. In room 310, the water kettle was dirty and the bathroom floor was slippery. There was water interruption and the air conditioner stopped working in room 312. In room 313 electrical outlets were not working and there was no internet connection.

none

Stink, no elevator, door key don’t work , electrical receptacles don’t work , TV don’t work .

Staff were kind and helpful; they allowed us to have avail late bfast.

Staff and food was really good. had a well done omlette, coffee was good too. My Filipino friends enjoyed a traditional Filipino breakfast.

No Dead roaches in the room

Pool

No drying area.

we do like the food. appreciate them

there is no shower outside from the beach area. so if you go inside or pool side, big mess, much sand on your feet.

Clean rooms and toilets, friendly staff, lots of parking.

Toilet kept on clogging, wall paint needs refurbishing.

Has swimming pool

Few pillows and contant power interruption

The only good thing about this hotel was its location. It’s right across from Sabang Beach, which is perfect if you want easy access to the beach.

•Customer Service Was a Letdown: The staff didn’t seem to care much about us, even though we were the only guests that day. We were told to dial “0” for any assistance, but the phone in our room didn’t work at all. When we needed something, there was no one around to help. •Damp Bed Sheets: This was honestly one of the worst parts. When we checked into our room, the bed sheets felt damp and uncomfortable. Not a great start to the stay. •Missing Toiletries: The hotel didn’t provide everything you’d expect, some basic toiletries were just missing. I had to ask for the toiletries that is missing. •Clogged Sink: The bathroom sink was clogged and we had to be careful and use it lightly so it will not overflow. •Key Card Problems: We had issues with the room key card. It needed to be programmed to work with the door, but even after that, it was a struggle to get it to open. •Power Outage: There was a power outage during our stay, and not once did the staff acknowledge it or let us know what was happening. It just felt like we were left in the dark (literally). •Unattentive Staff: The staff seemed to disappear into a private room behind the front desk, and we barely saw them, even though we were the only guests. It felt like they just didn’t want to bother with us. The hotel’s website photos made the place look much nicer than it actually was. In reality, it felt very basic, nothing like the luxurious experience we were expecting.

Beach front

Toilet seat is old and looks dirty. There’s a construction next to it. There’s no omelette in the restaurant.

Clean, simple, nice ambience in the hotel. It's good to wake up with an ocean view, but you have to pay extra as all hotels do. 😀 staff are very helpful. Good location for surfing. . Thank you for the kind staff who assisted and gave his staff card to us to get in and out of the room . Sorry I forgot his name

As there was no lift. I suggest having a customer service phone on the 3rd floor would be ideal. My card didn't work twice, so I have to go down to reception twice.

Staff is friendly

Beds are not comfortable. Bathroom not clean and shower fell off the wall. No maintenance so hotel is in decay. Breakfast was included but very limited. 2 small pancakes, or 2 eggs with french bread, or rice with hotdog. So very limited and 1st time breakfast eggs were cold omelets.

Yes breakfast is okay,

I don't like most is the staff, specially all sitting in the reception.. They are absolutely Not friendly.. We came early at 11am,and the check in is 2pm..ats okay for us, but they don't even allow us to sit inside for to wait. They are rude

Good location (beachfront) Staff respectful and responsive Rooms spacious Easy check-in Good food

Tocilog - very small serving of Tocino Longanisa meal for breakfast very good but size not consistent (second day, longanisa served was smaller)

The location was right off the waters. Good breakfast

The accommodation was very basic. 1 pillow for each person. Bed wasn’’t comfy at all. Pictures look beautiful but disappointing in person. did not have hot water and there was no holder for your shampoo and conditioner. There’s a fridge but it was not plugged it so it has foul smell😔

Our room (premium) faces the beach and we woke up looking at the views from our balcony. The room is big enough for my 3 kids. The breakfast they served was delicious. The housekeeping staff were all punctual and amazing.

The pool was not filled with water. A week before we arrived, there was a typhoon; hence, there was no electricity when we checked in (the generator was only open at 12 nn). However, the other hotels managed to fill up their pools. We couldn't swim on the beach because the current was strong for my kids, so we were expecting at least to swim in the pool. But because it was close, we didn't do much during our 2-night stay. I don't think we will return here anymore. The reception staff were quite unhelpful, there were instances that they seemed so unbothered, given that we arrived at 7 AM and we did not have any place to stay, they did not even offer an extra room (which we were willing to pay, which later on, I suggested we do). The temporary extra room we got from 7 am to 12 nn (just so we could have a place to stay as our room was not available for early check-in) has no electricity so we paid extra 1 room at no discounted price, for just the bed and no AC. Too much hassle for my 3 kids. I don't think I will return to Baler anymore. Of all our travel, this was the worst.

The rooms and bathrooms are spacious and clean. The beds are comfortable, and the linens are clean. I would say that the furnitures provided in the room are adequate for the guest's needs for a stay in a beach area. The personnel are very polite, helpful and always smiling. I love the look of the public spaces of the hotel, as well- sleek, modern and clean. Overall, the hotel is of a good size, clean and reasonably priced.

Perhaps, they could improve on the breakfast food, make it more tasty and appetizing.

clean, spacious and beach front location.

unfornately the aircon swing is not working.
