“7100 plus islands to explore”

San Juan Surf Resort revisited

All girl group went to San Juan Surf Resort in San Juan La Union with Travel Factor!

I was in La Union around June of 2009. Been wanting to come back but due to work I was not able to do so until now. Travel Factor organized a SURFVIVOR trip which me and my cousins wanted to join ever since October. But because of the recent typhoons catastrophe Ondoy and Pepeng. We were forced to put on hold our surfing dreams.

I was telling my cousins not to expect too much from La Union. Having been to Boracay and Bohol, I knew they would be a little disappointed. However, I was the one who got surprised! There were a lot of changes with the beach in San Juan.  My cousins were mesmerized, it was the right size, the right sun for a weekend get away.

San Juan Surf Resort as well made a lot of major changes which made the resort more attractive and more relaxing! I love the new Sun deck that they have built with matching pond.  They now offer night life during Fridays and Saturdays. I liked the music. There’s an easy access to videoke and still food is great in Urbiztondo, just right in front of San Juan Surf resort from the highway.

What’s great is that, people are now flocking the beach. It is lovely to see a lot of surfers waiting to catch their wave.

What I learned is that whenever there is a wave, take your time to feel if it’s time to stand. Although that is not always the case because if a wave is coming you have to paddle hard and make sure that you are in sync with the waves to get a great ride. 

All in all it was a weekend of fun, SURFING, Food trip, chit chatting and new friends. In fact we loved the trip so much we are planning to go back in March,4 weeks to go!

Thank you TRAVEL FACTOR!

Thank You God for the lovely weather!
