Pannzian Beach Resort

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.

What I love about this place are the staff and the owner's advocacy in preserving the place for its natural beauty at the same time developing it for a cause. I would have given it a 5 star however the price of the food is quiet steep and the rooms are not as cozy and would need a renovation and some modernization.

Perfect vacay spot. Beautiful beach resort with great service. They are all accommodating. Would love to go back this summer season. Very nice place to connect with nature and to unwind. Accessible as well.

Stayed here for two nights. The palace was easy to find although the drive was long. Checking in was smooth. The cottage was big enough for our family of four. Comfortable pillows and beds. Bathroom came with amenities albeit limited in quantity. Food served at the restaurant was delicious. Pre ordering meals is advised as the food is freshly cooked. Price was commensurate with the quality of the food. Bonfire at the beach was nice. Althoug swimming was not possible as the waves were strong. Instead, you can take a dip st the river, water was clear although cold. Friendly and accommodating staff made the stay more memorable. Definitely a recommend if you are looking for a place to stay in the area.

Amazing beach resort! The rooms were clean and had beautiful views! I reserved 3 rooms. My husband and I stayed at Villa A . Other family members stayed at Duplex B…they also had an ocean view. The rest of the crew stayed at Cottage A. Pannzian is eco friendly. Staff were friendly and very accommodating. Met Miss Bing who manages the resort and she’s great too! HIGHLY RECOMMEND this amazing place!It’s worth the drive.

This is now our favorite beach resort in all of Philippines! Complete amenities - the cold fresh water river joining the warm salt water ocean, bird watching by the balcony of our villa, sunrise from our bedroom overlooking the farm, mountain and sea, farm-to-table food, unique native tastes, outstanding dining facilities, unlimited eating of mulberry from the mountain farm. Great nature walks, my senior father truly loved the place. No wifi, no tv, spectacular experience swimming in the vast ocean of the far north. What an amazing experience! Thank you Pannzian! You're unbelievable!

If you want a serene place to stay while in Ilocos, I highly recommend Pannzian Beach. Love how relaxing the resort. We were happy during our entire stay. If ever we go back, we are planning to stay longer.

Pannzian Resort is nature at its best, a dynamic blend of sights and experiences. Picturesque beachfront with streaks of orange light during sunset. Gurgling river over rocks. Bonfire and marshmallows at night. Mulberry fruit for the picking. Pocket areas for meditation. Delicious food for the weary. To top it all, the owner believes in sustainable tourism while the staff exudes a sense of ownership.
