Department of Tourism has officially granted La Jolla Hotel and Beach Resort a 4-Star Rating, making it the only hotel and resort in Bagac to receive this distinction. The recognition comes after a comprehensive evaluation conducted by the Department of Tourism last year, highlighting the resort’s commitment to quality accommodation, service excellence, and guest satisfaction.
Located along the serene coastline of Bagac in Bataan, La Jolla Hotel and Beach Resort continues to position itself as one of the province’s premier destinations. Bagac is an emerging tourist spot known for its fresh seafood, tranquil atmosphere, and pristine beaches, attracting visitors seeking both relaxation and adventure. The resort is conveniently accessible—approximately three to four hours from Manila by land, two hours from Clark International Airport, and one hour from Subic Bay Freeport Zone. Travel to Bataan is expected to become even more convenient with the ongoing Bataan–Cavite Interlink Bridge, which will reduce travel time between Cavite and Bataan from about five hours to only 45–60 minutes once completed.

Guests can enjoy three swimming pools, as well as six restaurants serving a diverse selection of Western and Asian cuisines. For meetings and celebrations, the resort offers three function rooms with capacities ranging from 60 to 200 persons.
The property is also an ideal venue for large gatherings. Its beachfront and amphitheater areas can accommodate 500 to 1,000 guests for day tours, social occasions, and corporate events. Soon, the resort will further expand its event capabilities with the completion of its Convention Center, which will cater to Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions (MICE) and accommodate up to 1,000 participants.
