The sand was fine from the shore to the sea floor. I love the waves! Cottages are free, just make sure to reserve at an early date because cottages are limited. The chairs and tables use is also free but get to Paniman early if you want to use theirs. The place is pretty windy. Our paper plates, plastic cups, and food covers were flying. Be careful with that. For the downside; I wasn't fond of the banana boat ride. They said t'was supposed to be a 15 minute ride but the boat capsized and most of the time were wasted on getting people back on the banana boat. We tried our best to get balanced but the driver took sharp turns. Coincidentally, almost every boat ride capsized. Feels like money wasted on this one. The shower water was weird. It tasted like rust and the soap did not make bubbles. V weird. Overall, it was still a fun getaway from the nearby metro.

Access to the place is very hard and you will need a private vehicle to get here. The place is already dilapidated and it would be better if they can fix their cottages. The beach itself was okay and the sea bed on the shore is not rocky. People who are afraid of the deep waters can definitely enjoy it here because the shore water is shallow. It was already my second time going here but I didn't see any improvement in their showers and toilet areas even if they have raised their rates. Overall the resort was okay but could still improve on a lot of areas.

the place is full of trash and garbage. they're not taking care of the beach nor doesn't care if those trash will go to the water... a lot of plastic trash is already going to the shoreline but the caretakers are not doing their job to clean. observe them sitting by the beach with their cleaning materials and just playing online games on their phones... this place is supposed to be beautiful...the beach the sand and those mountain but such a disappoinment that the management is not looking into this to preserve the nature... entrance is cheap for only 300 per head with free cottage. but after you swim, you cannot find a good shower area- it's also dirty and no available water to use. most of the shower is not working. water in the shower taste salt water. we ended up going home and take the shower in our house.

Great place for unwinding. 3 hours away from Manila. Cheap rates (300 per person with cottage). Good sea side, sand, and sea bed structure. Waves are also enjoyable. Just remember to bring all what you need since it is really far from the market. Not advisable for overnight, they do not offer it as of the moment.

Entrance: P300 per head Cottage: free CR: free Grill: P50 Phone charging: 20 per unit Extension cord: P300 Own extension to use electricity: P200 One of the worst beaches to visit. Place is far from towns. Everything is cash basis. Nearest ATM is about 45 minutes away from the venue. Beach is usually on a low water level and you'll have to walk a few hundred meters to be able to try and swim. Cottages are free to use (one per group) but is on a first come, first serve basis. Good luck getting one during weekends. Goggles and masks are useless because the water is so dark. Flies in the area are a handful. There is no way you can eat without your food being exposed to flies. Dish washing can only be done with the only sink in the area. There can sometimes be a queue and you get to see everyone's leftovers around the sink. Smart barely has a signal. Grill costs P50 to rent but is very filthy and greasy. It's not a bad idea to bring your own. Shower is outdoors. Water supply is not very clean and filtered. Bathrooms are dirty and dilapidated. Every item for sale in the area costs double, if not triple, than suggested retail prices. Bring enough drinking water, food, medicine, ice and coal. It's also smart to bring your own cooking utensils, portable stove, ice chest, food containers with cover, dishwashing soap and sponge. Not a great place for unwinding. Everything is inconvenient. Not a good option to spend money and preparation effort on. You're better off with other venues.

Paniman is a long way from Puerto Azul Beach itself. It's farther than caysubic. I have been to this place several times mostly to fish (no catch). My last visit was to participate in a shoot. All you read in the reviews are correct. Good view of the sea. Water is murky pale algae green. Sand is black. Strong winds usually from the sea inland ward stronger in the afternoon. The huts are in various stages of dilapidation. No improvements have been made since Puerto Azul closed several years back. Paniman Beach is a favorite event area for radio station way back. Today It suffers from old cottages falling apart and leaky roofs first come first serve , no reliable water, a horrible shower and toilet area (imagine a zombie movie), and caretakers with attitudes who doesn't care at all. Still you have to pay 300 per person if you plan to enter. You cannot even set foot inside to look without paying. Trash is littered everywhere. During the shoot we had to pick up the trash to clear the area of the shoot. Given all that you can still enjoy the place for what it is. It's the company that's important and the food and drinks that you bring. Just control your expectations. Also do not venture into the forested area because you will be attacked by very large hungry mosquitoes.

Good place to unwind. The route to the beach is more like a forest. Most people will like that. Beach is good but not white sand. Entrance fee of p300 per head. Lot of kubos in there bot there are no rooms and no overnight stay possible.

I love the place, it was clean since we went there on a weekday and off season. Very few people. The only problem was the toilet and shower areas. I hope they fix it since there's an entrance fee of 300 per pax. Hopefully, they make it cleaner as it's already old, looks dilapidated actually. But for the beach, the place, it was great for me. Fine grayish sand and clear water. Good for a quick trip and just relax. You can bring your pets too. I will definitely come back here for the beach. Just manage your expectations and it's best to go on weekdays.

The worst bathroom and toilet I've seen in a resort. Salty tap water and barely dripping. toilet not working, doors are not installed. shower curtains are barely working. paying an entrance fee of P300 per person, I was expecting at least a decent shower or at least a potable tap water. but no. I will never comeback to this horrible place. what a waste of money. Also we went here by riding a bike. Bikes are not allowed inside so you have to pay for a motorcycle to transport you to the resort and back to main gate. P150 each way per person, which for me is acceptable bec it's a long way full of uphills. rented a table (200) and 2 chairs (40) for P240.

The beach is very good and the sand is very fine, but the sand is not white and a little black. We brought our own food. Very enjoyable. Children can play on the beach.But avoid holidays or weekends. People will be crowded

Place 2/5 - not white sand - cottage is ok (you have to pay for 500 pesos but it's not worth it) Just bring a tent! Service 1/5 - mini store sells expensive items (monopoly) - shower room is dirty and they are using saltwater in the faucet too 😢 Location 1/5 - It is not suitable for commuters, it will cost you a lot of money to get there. - there will be no problem if you have your own vehicle. - no overnight stay (the place is up until 5pm) You should think twice before going here. I love beach, but this one, I'll pass. Sorry.

The place (view) was nice however the facilities (CR, shower room) are not well maintained. Likewise the entrance fee was very high or expensive for such a poorly maintained resort. Moreover the water in the sea was itchy.

Private beach spot for hangout beach with easy accessible car parking and dining areas with clean infrastructure

Giving it 4 stars since the beach and cottgaes are good. Saw comments that there's a lot of garbage on the beach but when we arrived its actually very clean. The only problem is the toilet and showers, hope they make it cleaner and well lit. Also they are using salt water on the shower too.but overall, i still love our visit here.

Don't ever try this resort! poor amnesties Toilet are disgusting 🤮they using salt water and long queue. The entrance is 300 for me it is not pair for the this kind of resort. And the sea is too itchy never again! Poor services

great place for relaxing.. for those whonare looking for white sand beach this is definitely the spot! not to mention the waves here is quite perfect for wave gliding in a surfboard!

giving this resort 3 stars since they are very accommodating to us to give us cottage when we asked because we have kids. The beach is not clean, and there jelly fishes that stings during afternoon. We did enjoy the waters but not the shower! I was about to throw my soap because it did not bubble! Sa sobrang alat ng tubig. So, you will bathe in salted waters and rinse with salted water pa rin! Most of the CRs walang pinto. Not a very good experience overall.

Too far from puerto azul main entrance but worth the trip. The shore is wide. Not white sand but clean. The beach looks peaceful. Staff are nice. Cottages are simple.

Good scenery ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Cottage⭐⭐ Public toilet ⭐

I really love it! It's our second time here in Paniman beach resort, the last was in 2019, there were only few people that time but now I think many people have discovered this beach resort. Fine sand, fine beach, it's feels like were on a hidden paradise because of the two mountains on each side of the beach. Very instagram worthy

Entrance fee (300 PHP) is kinda expensive for a resort without proper shower rooms, they use salt water and it smells really bad. Swimming in the beach was itchy and uncomfortable as there were jellyfish around.

Water is clear and calm at least when we were there. Sand is meh with bits of rock and dead coral washed up ashore but the sand in the water is fine. Theres only one shop inside with little stock (just some instant coffee and junk food) so bring your own food. Bring your own cooking wares too.

It's an ok beach, but here are a few things that you may want to consider: Entrance fee: overpriced. 300 per head, unless you're senior or below 3ft then that's half the price. Cottages and tables: 500 PHP The toilet and shower: they use water from the ocean so it's salty, not to mention it's filthy. Travel: definitely not commuter friendly, you have to traverse an 8km mile road that is bumpy after entering puerto azul gate. Overall we had fun. Given a chance I will try another beach.

The beach view is stunning but the resort lacks proper comfort rooms and proper huts and rooms. I would like to come back in the future if the resort would be renovated or add additional facilities.

The staff and guards were SUPERRRR NICE and HELPFUL. This was a bit hard to go to, but the journey is definitely worth it. The beach itself is for the people who want to rest in this tiring world.

The route here is quite confusing and hard to follow. We drove past the resort because of poor signal.

The beach is beautiful the sand it's fine clean water nice view, the only problem is expensive entrance and difficult place you have to drive for almost 7kilometers with rough road inside the mountaineos place from the entrance.

The Beach ok clean and nice. BUT bildnings need proper renovation, maintenance etc. Toalett and shower are under all criticism. Price is reasonable.

A low class resort! NO SHOWER or TOILET to change or dump! and the owner makes money here with hundreds of people that comes to visit! ...need major renovation of this place.. beware of jellyfish but the consequence is it has a pretty scenery of corregidor and bataan across..

Worth it to go in Rides with friends. Accomodating.

Entrance worth 300 pesos per head with rental on small tent worth 300 also.. Free cottage but first come first serve policy. No corkage fee, animals are allowed. Need reservation first, no fees needed.

Beach is clean and beautiful. Comfort room facilities are just the flaw for this resort. I hope they focus on that part and improve their facilities.

Staff are unapproachable,and arrogant

Poeple are not so nice

Nice and beautiful place.. Clean and spacious.

It was a good beach and forest to chill with.

Pet friendly and clean environment also the water is clear

A relaxing beach you'd often like to visit.
