Me and my friend went to Pagudpud and we stayed @ Polaris Beach Resort, our 1 night stay is awesome, nice room and good customer service. Unfortunately, we had to look for another place to stay coz they are fully booked. On our 2nd day we stayed @ SABRINA beach resort just beside Polaris. And we are totally unsatisfied and very disappointed. We got 2 rooms and no room is cold enough to sleep, the aircon is not working properly and we tried to ask for a consideration, we ask if we could borrow a Fan, the girl nmed Herminia simply said we dont have electric fan and ganun lang daw talaga ang aircon nila at wala silang magagawa. So we have no choice but to check out, the are taker said we have to pay on full even if we will not stay coz, i know its an SOP but if the place in not satisfying its my choice. We were not able to check out coz all the staffs eyes are on us, even though we are not satusfied we tried to be nice but they are so rude. The following morning my friend decided to cook noodles into the our rice cooker, the 3 care taker are to arrogant coz they unethically talk to us into the hallway shouting at us saying why we were cooking, i ask them before we chek in if we could cook, and they said yes we can use our own rice cooker. They are all denying it. We still have alot of unsatisfactory experience in this resort, very very rude staffs.

Just been there this weekend and i must say that exploring Pagudpud and some other parts of ilocos as well is one of the best backpackers travel i ever had. The beach is indeed spectacular and the sceneries from neighboring places is unforgettable. I went for a quick dip at Kabigan Falls and the water refreshed my tired body to high heavens!

Thank you for sharing that Maira ira beach is ideal for swimming compared to other beaches around pagudpud. My wife and I together with our 6yr old son are planning to have a one day/one night stay in Maira ira beach this first week of march. As of my research, i only knew of Punta Azul and Hannah’s Beach resort. May I know what are the other beach resorts in Maira ira and pls suggest a ‘good’ resort for us. Thank you and more power to your blog.

Hi,

We went to all the beautiful places of Pagudpud during our vacation in the Philippines and Blue Lagoon stood out as the best place to go. The water is so clean and is an ideal place to swim for kids and surfers alike. We stayed at Punta Azul Beach Resort and we were surprised to see that the place is just like a residential house here in the US. We never tried Filipino cuisine before but what struck us was that the organic foods they served were so delicious.

Want to go back again. This is where we found this place:http://www.punta-azul-pagudpud.com/ via our friend.

About two summers ago, my family and I visited Pagudpud. At first we were only roaming around until we stumbled across sites like White Beach and Blue Lagoon.

Both sites are great and I am glad I went there. Pagudpud as a whole is a good place to visit and I am definitely going back to Pagudpud.

In Saud, it was a little pebbly in the waters.. Blue Lagoon is my preference for swimming but not sure if there are resorts there now as most resorts are in Saud. Check out the section on where to stay above. :)

Hi Michelle,

Blue Lagoon has far quieter waters (and better for swimming) and more laidback than Saud. :)
