Write a reviewExtremely happy that we chose Kahanamoku as our home away from home. We enjoyed every moment of our stay, from the food - healthy, our room- super comfy and clean, down to the people who managed the place (staff/owner) - so hospitable.
Will definitely recommend this place to our friends.

We started our Philippines journey in Baler and my boyfriend had booked 3 nights at Kahanamoku. We arrived late in the night after a 4 hour drive from the province, we were greeted by fairy lights and coconut trees in the dark, it looked amazing even in the night.
Ate Carol checked us into our room and took great care of us throughout the stay.
The next morning we had a light breakfast, as I am gluten intolerant they arranged for potato hash browns and fruit for me every morning!
As we were having our breakfast the owner came up and introduced himself, his name is Jessal! Him and his family is running this place and he is such an amazing person. He took the time to ask about us and where we are from and about our holiday and he just made you feel so welcome! Jessal proceeded to give us loads of surfing advise and where to eat in Baler, Jessal and his family truly made our stay memorable.
We got a driver to take us to Mothers fall, the oldest tree in Asia and some other places in Baler. Kuya Mike was the best driver we have had, he even thought my boyfriend how to drive a tricycle.
The hotel doesn't have wifi but for a surf and yoga place it really does help you relax.
In the morning we walked through the mangroves to look at the more skilled surfers hit the waves in the morning.
We can't recommend this place enough, keep doing what you're doing Jessal, you guys have a really special place here!

Very peaceful place, friendly staff, far away from the busy side of Baler but only 20mins away if you want to go to the busy side. Very homey and quiet. There were 6 of us and we stayed in the room for 6. Not too tight since the whole place has shared spaces--dining, chairs outside the room, and other areas.

My family and I had a great time first time in Baler and huge part of that was cause of the great stay we had in Kahanamoku,
We arrived really early morning of Nov 13 and I assume the owner, Jessal, was the one who assisted and welcomed us. We had to wait a bit as our rooms were being prepared, but completely understandable since we were there at 6am. The rooms exceeded my expectations and definitely above average for a B&B. Sheets, pillows, and bed were comfy, towels are nice, bathroom is spacious, a bidet is available, and the Premier Suite even had a mini balcony. My only two complaints was that the shower in the 2nd floor (where I stayed) was very weak as compared to the ones in the G/F and that the said room type still had no cable despite having a TV installed. Other than that, everything was perfect. Breakfast & service were good, and the people were very attentive (Hi, Karrole!). Plus points for the free cold lemon water too! The place offers free yoga classes in the morning as well so that's an added bonus.
Just a heads up that Kahanamoku is far away from the main areas of Baler so please expect a few added mins in your travel time. However, seeing the available budget accommodations in Sabang myself, Kahanamoku is definitely worth the extra mile. The property is also extra pretty at night with all the lights, plus their lovely dogs Java and Tabitha made our stay much more memorable :)
Side note: My aunt and her 2 teenagers originally got a Mini Suite (with an extra person charge) but they found the room too small. Jessal was kind enough to offer the room for 6 so that they'd be more comfortable - good thing it was still available!
Overall, we will definitely stay here again and recommend to friends and family. More power Kahanamoku! You guys are a gem in Baler.

Our expectations were low, but what the f***?
We booked the "Premier Suite" which was described in the website as a room "with an en-suite toilet and bath with hot & cold rain shower stocked with natural toiletries." The room was also claimed to be put together "with a keen eye for detail to appeal to your epicurean taste buds yet a feel not far away from home." They claim that the room has a "private balcony with a view of the sea and the lush mountainside."
I don't think that's entirely accurate. . .
Going to this place was a great ordeal. To be fair, they were helpful in processing our S-PASS. Unfortunately, we were not informed beforehand that the road going to their place was closed. So we had to circle back and traverse the Pantabangan road. We were delayed for more than 3 hours. We called them and asked if there were any restaurants open nearby their place since we were really hungry and we don't want to stop over causing more delay. They informed us that the restaurant beside their resort was open. We arrived at around 5pm only to find out that the restaurant beside them was closed and does not serve on weekdays. After more than 10 hours of driving, we had to go back to Baler centro to look for food. After 30 minutes of looking for a decent restaurant, we decided to just drive thru Jolibee Baler. That was probably the saddest chickenjoy we've ever tasted.
So yeah, we returned to the place to finally rest and freshen up but we found out that the only "toiletries" they had was a shower gel. So we had to go back again to Baler centro to buy essentials at 9pm. The road btw is very dark since there were no lightposts. It was the worst.
We just want to highlight some weird things in the room that doesn't make sense. For one, the toilet smells musty, probably due to the fishport nearby. Another is the TV which does not really have any chanels. The balcony doesnt really give a clear view of the sea since the resort is on the other side of the road across the ocean. Lastly, the "toiletries" were bit of a scam.
We just prayed that the breakfast was good but then again... they served cold bread.
We didnt really expect much from this place since the whole country just came from a pandemic. We really wanted to give a good review and look at the brighter side but really, all we remember are the stress from staying at this place. It was horrible. Traumatic.
If you can't deliver basic hospitality, might as well close down. Sorry, but we should have just claimed for a refund.
