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…
I recently traveled to Baler with my husband and 5-yr-old son and the 6-hour drive was so worth it. Kahanamoku Bed & Breakfast did not disappoint. It was relatively far from the famous Sabang beach where all the surfing action happens but if you're a freak for privacy, silence and relaxation, then Kahanamoku is the right place for you. We stayed in one of their premier rooms and it was just perfect for the three of us. I loved the layout of their different rooms and I also appreciated the quality of their furniture and other fixtures. Service-wise, the owner and staff were very commendable. I really loved the personal touch in their service and how they made sure that we are comfortable and have everything we need. Special mention to Carol, our all-around go-to person during…
Purchased vouchers from Deal Grocer and stayed for 2 nights (Nov 18-20). Location-wise, it’s the good kind of secluded. Perfect for those who want to relax without being too far from the main beach (Sabang Beach). Even though we arrived early at 6AM, we were already accommodated and brought to our room (a big plus since we needed to rest from a 5 hour travel from Manila) - note though that they charge for early check-in at Php 100/hour. They also asked if we would want to have breakfast (which we did - also paid for this at Php 160/pax). Food was kinda limited but it’s okay since you’ll be eating a lot while in Baler. Overall, the stay was excellent and we’ll definitely come back soon.
A good friend was kind & generous enough to tell us about her experience at Kahanamoku and take us with her on her second trip. After staying at this quaint B&B, I completely understand why she was raving about this place. It’s off the Sabang strip which is fantastic because it is devoid of the crowd. While it’s about 10-15 minutes away from the town proper, we didn’t mind the short trip to the town to grab lunch or dinner because the view during the drive’s fantastic. Make sure to roll your windows down to enjoy the clean and fresh breeze from Cemento beach. The location’s quite strategic, I must say, as it is near Cemento and Diguisit beach which are both less crowded while Dinadiawan is about 90-120 minutes away. We are huge fans of less crowded beaches and we thoroughly…
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…
