Kahuna Beach Resort and Spa

San Fernando

This is a great family friendly resort in La Union.  The resort has clean pool which faces the beach. The resort restaurant serves good food at affordable prices. The rooms are clean and complete. Very good customer service as well. Highly recommended

Great Family Friendly Resort

Villas were amazing, just hoping that the pool was bigger.. Relaxing to hangout at their resto while playing bollards with cocktails.. Kudos to the bartender.. I forgot his name but he was the big guy doing all the drinks.. Very polite and always at your service even he was on to something, he would not let you wait ang get into your request. I guess he is the lead bar tender.. 
Will be back here soon

Perfect

We had a great time enjoying the place and the beach. It was the perfect location to enjoy nature , night life and family time. 

We booked the OceanView Suite 1 for 4 days and it was perfect. Space was big enough to accommodate our family of three. Staff was friendly and accommodating, warm and hospitable. Food was excellent too. Acoustic entertainment during the weekend was good too. Pool was clean, big enough to be enjoyed by adults and kids. 

The beach was just a walk away. Other restaurants , coffee shops were nearby. 

We will surely be back. It was like being home.

Summer by the beach

Beautifully presented rooms with view of the gorgeous surfing beach, and pool. Staff very friendly, helpful and quick to respond to any questions or requests. 3 small pools, one an infinity pool with bar service looking over the South China Sea. Food OK, but fairly remote location in the Philippines, which isn't known for it's gastronomy. Some good Western style dishes, and breakfast pancakes with local fruit was  delicious. There was some noise from adjacent bars, but not overwhelming and stopped before bedtime.

2 night stay

We recently stayed here. Family of 3. We’ve only stayed here for a night just for a quick weekend getaway. First time in La Union. We did few research about this resort looking for pros and cons however, we always try not to expect too much so we won’t be too disappointed. We came from Manila and we’ve expected long travelling times.  Driving is quite scenic and it’s a good change of view.  San Fernando road is a real bottle neck as it’s the centre of the city. I wish the local authorities could manage them better. Allow only designated pedestrian so people won’t crossing everywhere. All sorts of vehicles are also coming from everywhere. Upon arrival to the resort, entrance is blocked. They literally stop your vehicle from entering without even thinking whether you’re blocking the main road. This needs to be improved. Allow a space for the incoming vehicles to stop and enter without causing cogestion before asking whether you have booking or not.  In the first place, we will not be coming there without any booking.  We arrived earlier than our check in time which is understandable.  They resort is also fully booked as it’s the weekend. But they allow you to leave your belongings at the reception while scouting the area. Because it’s just at the front of the beach, you can go for a swim or start surfing while waiting (which we did) . There’s a big restaurant as well in the resort. I did highlight to them to give us a room away from the noice. They gave us a garden view.
PROS and CONS
Location:  Pros- Love the location, beach front, straight out to surfing, easy access to check the surf, beautiful sunset while having your meal or drink
Cons- Can get really busy during the weekend or holidays. Noice pollution is like a plague here especially at night where loud music can be heard throughout the area. I will not recommend this place nor any other places within this area for those people who wants peace and quiet. You will not get that here. In saying that, loud music stops at 10pm. But yet, we are early sleeper and early riser so sleeping with loud music is not for us. I think it would be nicer if they could control the loud music everywhere as it’s a beautiful place. Pollution is not just aboutthe rubbish but also the noices. I think Kahuna is not as badas the otherresorts in the far end but can be improved.
FOOD: Pros Big restaurant, great view, wide choices of menu. Vegetables are fresh CONS: just so, so. Some food items are either a hit or a miss
ROOMS: it’s good enough for us, comfortable beds and room temperature CONS: drainage smells, mouldy shower a good bleach and scrubbing will do, toilets are not really flushing well.

Quick but nice getaway

We really enjoyed  our stay at the rest house. Place was big for us and food was good too. Staff were accommodating. Unfortunately no welcome drink was serve as we traveled from afar. Reception area probably overwhelmed with so much guests around.

Nice place

Very Unpleasant stay due to loud music from resort nextdoor (Fatwaves). Kahuna apparently was aware of this issue but did not inform us that this resort gets loud. Our 90 year old Mom was with us. She and the rest of us did not have a good night's rest bc of this disturbance. Very disappointed.

We complained but they really did nothing. They kept telling us that it would stop at 10pm. But by midnight it was still going on. At $236 per night they can treat their guests better. We found them insensitive and callous.

No offense but I do not understand some of the high ratings of this place. Having been to better resorts costing much less per night I would not be coming back here.

It's time to call my credit card company and ask them not to pay this business. That's an option available to everyone who uses a reputable card.

Staff Didn't Care/Lip Service

It’s the only place along the Urbiztondo strip, which I recommend family to stay in, since Kahuna is clean, decent and safe for children. Ask for the beachfront villa with a pool. It won’t be private, but it’ll still feel like it’s your own. 

Beachfront Poolside Villa

Secure and ample parking, friendly staff, beach resort ambience, nice rooms, strong wifi, nice pool, good food. To name a few. I’ll definitely go back! I’m a seasoned traveler usually I like to try different resorts if im visiting the same area. But with this one you can’t go wrong

One of the best resort in Urbiztondo

Very poor service. From the receptionist to the room and even the restaurant. The food is worst too. They serve expired good as toppings in the food we ordered during dinner and at breakfast as early as 7:30am their food is not warm or hot its freezing cold already. The quality of the sausage is like years already in the fridge.
