Pannzian Beach

If you’re looking for a peaceful getaway, this resort is definitely worth the trip! The drive from Manila is quite long, and there are some roadworks due to landslides, but the smooth roads for most of the way make up for it. Plus, once you arrive, the beautiful ambiance and warm hospitality of the staff make you forget the distance. The resort offers plenty of activities to keep you entertained—bonfires by the beach, river pool swimming, hiking, and even mulberry picking! There’s something for everyone, whether you’re up for adventure or just want to relax. Now, let’s talk about the food—simply exquisite! Their restaurant has an extensive menu at reasonable prices, and I highly recommend their Togue Rolls—crispy, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. Another highlight? They are truly pet-friendly! My dog had the best time exploring the place, and the resort’s own dogs are super adorable and friendly. One important thing to note: there’s no WiFi, and cellular data is quite slow. However, they inform guests ahead of time because they encourage socializing and taking a break from technology. If you’re planning to work remotely, this might not be the best place for that—but if you’re looking to disconnect and just enjoy the moment, it’s perfect. The only downside is that it’s a bit far from some of Ilocos Norte’s famous tourist spots like the sand dunes and Paoay Church. But honestly, the resort itself is such a great destination that I didn’t mind at all. Highly recommend this place for a relaxing and enjoyable vacation!

Because the beach is North of Philippines - the sun was not directly hitting - just good sunlight that we were able to swim all day in the beach and the river. Water from beach was hot converging into the water from river which was cold. It was a hot & cold all-natural sauna. Remarkable experience in Panzian!

A resort with large style setup. We are only guests in. Added a dreary afternoon and frankly makes it less appealing. On top of that they don't have wifi and cellular is slow if at all. For big groups maybe not an issue but for couple we prefer to have some connectivity to the outside. Cabana was great. We were in Cabana A. Nice two twin beds. Nice outside private seating. Beach is steep slope. Recommended to only swim with life guard. Which could be called if we wanted to swim. Restaurant was "open" but because we were only one prefer to know our dinner choices. Beers were only one kind in stock. Breakfast not included and another 800p if we would order a-la-carte. All in all a nice place for bigger groups or just more busier times. Since we arrive 4pm and leave 7am next morning, for me too pricey for just an overnight stay.
