San Juan, La Union has become one of the prime destinations when visiting the Northern side of Luzon. One of the main activities that makes this place famous is surfing and for the newbie and other pro surfers, San Juan is the place to be.

With the influx of tourists, accommodation sometimes becomes a challenge, especially if you are making your bookings late. Luckily, a friend of ours told us that there is a new hotel that hasn’t fully opened yet but was already accepting guests for their soft opening.

Plaza De Castiel has just opened its doors recently and we were very lucky to experience it first hand. During our stay, we were very lucky to have found one room available, all other rooms were booked.

I also attached the updated room rates. However, rates may changed depending on the season.

Plaza De Castiel has several rooms that can accommodate various numbers of guest. The place is located right along the highway and it is easy to be seen. The hotel is around 5 minutes walk to the beach. It is not that bad actually considering the price we paid for a night.

Plaza De Castiel is still expanding, more rooms and amenities are being constructed at the back that will cater to the demands, especially that San Juan is now a booming surfers’ town.

For the four of us, they gave us this room for four people. It was nice, clean and very spacious. The bed and linen were actually quiet comfortable. The room’s air-conditioning also worked really well so we were very pleased with our stay.

The toilet and bath was nice and big. The heater works perfectly and the I loved the shower head!
