Kahuna Beach Resort and Spa

Kahuna has always held a special place in my heart, and while the charm is still there, some parts of the resort could use a little revitalization. The changing rooms and restrooms in the main building, in particular, are showing their age and could really benefit from an update. Service felt a bit uneven on this visit. The staff were generally pleasant but not as attentive as in years past. There didn’t seem to be a managerial presence, and the team appeared quite young — perhaps a bit more guidance and experience would help elevate the guest experience. On a brighter note, the food continues to impress. The Ilocano take on Sisig was especially flavorful and memorable. That dish alone is worth coming back for. One small but noticeable detail: the pool table is in need of repair. Honestly, a well-maintained one would be a great addition to the resort experience — even if there were a small charge to use it.

Our stay at Kahuna Beach Resort & Spa was nothing short of amazing! This resort is truly one of La Union’s best, offering the perfect mix of relaxation, adventure, and stunning views. This is our third visit, and we usually stay for 2-3 days each time—and it never fails to impress. We stayed in one of their spacious Balinese-inspired villas, and having a poolside room facing the beach made the experience even more special. Waking up to the breathtaking ocean view and the lush greenery surrounding the resort felt like paradise. The entire place exudes a peaceful and tropical charm that makes you never want to leave. The staff was friendly and accommodating, always ensuring that we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The infinity pool was a favorite spot—we spent time swimming, playing basketball, and simply soaking up the relaxing ambiance at night. I can’t wait to visit again soon. If you’re looking for a beach getaway that combines comfort, adventure, and stunning scenery, Kahuna Beach Resort & Spa is the place to be! ‍♀️

Customer service is not good. We went there and it's raining. I booked 3 ocean view 1 standard room and 1 suite at price of 105k php. We requested an umbrella and given 5 only for 23 guests, and we lost one umbrella as the numbering is not according to room number, I guest some guests took our umbrella when we were eating at the restaurant as it was raining, in the end we paid 500php as if we are gonna steal it. Anyway customer service is bad, toilet are also not that clean the suite does not fit the price it's outdated.

Good location. Decent rooms and food. However, they have a band that plays during dinner and beyond 10pm. Extremely loud. You can barely talk to each other during dinner and they kept playing til late. Not relaxing at all during dinner and when you want to have some quiet down time at night especially for those staying in their premiere rooms. Not recommended at all for those who want to

We had been in this resort at least three times between 2015 and 2016 and we always found it worth coming back to, despite some quirks. Now, after a long break, we wanted to visit it again and we made a booking for the Ocean View villa for three nights in mid-January (Mon to Thu). The choice of room was made after a lengthy email discussion with the resort trying to identify which was the quietest area of the resort. Unfortunately, upon arrival, we were assigned, yes, an Ocean View villa (Room OV2), but it was the one in the new extension area (which we were unaware of), near the construction site and beside a bar (Fatwave Bar and the one beside it) with non-stop loud music from lunchtime until at least 11 pm. So much for quietness... Of course, we complained about the room assignment because we were expecting the Ocean View room near the Malana Restaurant and main pool, but, apparently, that room was already occupied so we were given no other option for the first night. They told us however that a deluxe room (a lower room category) by the old pool area would become available the following day and that we could move there if we wanted to. The following morning however we decided to remain in the same room as the noise from the bars seemed tolerable and dying down around midnight, while the main pool area seemed quite busy, with a karaoke noise and roosters having a blast nearby in the evening. However, on our last night (Wednesday), the noise from our neighbouring bars went on until almost 2 am, which, combined with our early rising noisy neighbours, did not make for a pleasant sleep. While our villa was spacious and generally ok (albeit with the faucet in the shower which kept falling off, the sink counter with a leakage from the faucet's base, and a temporary lack of water on our second morning), we soon discovered that there was a brushwood burning activity just behind the resort whose thick smoke was entering our room every night through the aircon compressor leaving us to breathing smoke for the whole night. When we asked the front desk about it, they pretended to be unaware of it, although it was obviously an ongoing activity which is documented in the attached picture. The guard even said they burn leaves at night because it is sort of prohibited during the day. The front desk was similarly unfazed when, on our second night, we informed them about a fat flying cockroach in the room which was then kindly removed by a security staff who happened to be visiting our room to check on the smoke smell that we complained about. Food was a painful chapter. While in the past the restaurant used to be quite good and offered a few good dishes, this time we couldn't help noticing a sharp decline in food quality together with a steep increase in prices. In three days we could not find one decent dish (everything was oily and of scarce quality) and in the end, I even got a sort of food poisoning due probably to a (not so) fresh coconut juice. They d

Our family room is located near the construction site...which disappointted us. Then as we entered, smell of newly cleaned room. But the bathroom was not expected. Floor is wet, shower area looks moldy. Didn't complain as they are fully booked. And thought will be staying only for 2nights. If someone smokes from the outside, it will smell inside the room as well. If you are particular with noise during the night, u can hear noise from highway and near establishments. Few lounge chairs are only available by the pool. But staff are very attentive to offer extra chairs. Service at the Malana are very attentive and helpful.
