Overall, it was a pleasure to stay in Viilas Buenavista. The place is generally clean and peaceful. You'll indeed have a good night's rest after a whole day of travel and a night out. The staff is friendly and courteous. Just a few things though:
1. We are grateful that they offer complimentary breakfast (which was delicious, btw), however, most of the food choices were not available. Since it's complimentary, and food items are not gourmet food, most items you can store in your fridge for a longer time, like hotdogs, tocino, and longanisa. Then maybe at least more than 2 options be available.
2. No option to have food delivered to the room.
3. Though there is a landline phone in the room, there is no dial tone so that is useless. We used our mobile phones instead since they have the reception's number posted at the back of the door.
4. The room was clean, with cold AC, a working fridge, and a TV. Large enough that it can accommodate a family of 5, or at least 8. Just that the smell was a bit odd. But it's no biggie. What's important is that they have a great room where we can doze off.
5. You may really need to have your own transport, as it's hard to commute from one point and back to the hotel. No happening during the night (no live band, etc) so you really need to go out if you're that type.
So if you are looking for a quiet, private, and clean place to stay while enjoying La Union, I certainly recommend for you to add Villas Buenavista to your choices.
The wifi signal was difficult in the pool area and we had to ask the front desk multiple times to fix the room wifi. The shower water was also very slow. The cafeteria has no onsite waiters, you will have to look for them in order to order. The aircon wasn't cold enough for a room that's for 4 pax so we had to ask for an extra fan in the room.
But the pool is good especially if you have kids. The beach area is also clean and not crowded so that's a good point. The food price is also affordable. The location if good for those who have private cars but i'll be quite far for commuters to find places to eat outside of the hotel.

Saw a few stains in bed but nothing too concerning, some studs on the wall mounting the foldable chairs and tables are a few pulls away from falling off. Fair for the price but lacks space. And water pressure isnt the best. Pleasant staff and service with the breakfast options tasting great. Overall an ok experience.
The amenities like the pool and the beachfront are the good thing about this hotel. Not too crowded when we had our stay. They have very accommodating and courteous staffs and the vicinity is kept clean and comfortable. They are enough spaces to spend good time with the family and friends. We had the premier room and it was very comfortable with a pool view. The one facing the shore would have had a fascinating view of the sunset and the shore. The price is higher than the ones around it but was reasonable if traveling is big groups.

GGlizelit's really close to the sea and they have swimming pools. The flooring upstairs is wood, so you can really hear someone running outside. (when we stayed there was a family in the other room with children running around so it was quite fun***). but overall good for its price and good location.

room is comfortable but needs a lot of improvement. Faucet in the comport room is emprovised and the tiles is a little bit dirty. When you take a shower, the water will leak to the door and the floor outside the comport room will get wet. Free breakfast is a little bit good, you can not choose for what dish you want, they just serve what is available. The only thing I want with this hotel is the location, because it is near to the tourist spot. Near to kabsat and also to jetsam and flotsam.
