The best accommodations Southern Luzon

Corregidor Island is a must-see tourist destination for history and nature lovers. The island was fortified by the Americans during the Second World War to defend Manila from Japanese attack. Today, visitors can discover the remnants of this era on guided streetcar tours and in the Malinta tunnels. Exhibitions and bike tours are also available to learn more about the island's history. But there's more to Corregidor Island than its military past. Nature lovers will be delighted to discover the diversity of its flora and fauna, with fruit trees, flowers and a variety of animals such as monkeys, geckos and rare birds. There's no shortage of leisure activities either, with swimming at South Beach, kayaking or biking along the majestic Mile-Long Barracks. To get to the island, visitors can take Camaya Coast's MV XGC Voyager ferry, a fully air-conditioned and secure vessel that makes the trip in just 1 hour and 15 minutes. For those wishing to extend their stay, the Corregidor Inn offers quality accommodation in a picturesque Spanish atmosphere, with breathtaking views over the island.

Television, free access to People's Park in the Sky, Japanese garden and Nature park.

This resort is as popular at night as the day: Swimming pool, vidéoké, bar, picnic tables… Families will appreciate.

Near the Terminal terminal, a small, unpretentious address offering single, clean and functional rooms. 

This is a very good place to stay in Donsol! Located in the city center (and therefore not on the beach), it offers a very appreciable level of comfort and a lot of services: swimming pool (used for diving courses), diving center, spa, restaurant open all day long and late in the evening, kayaks, observation of fireflies at night on the Ogod river... In short, a rather obvious address. We would almost forget the rooms, which are simple but correct.

For a reasonable price, this hotel offers a full range of services with very spacious rooms for the most part. It is easily accessible from the airport with a shuttle bus and is located in the center of Naga (beware of traffic and noise) so many restaurants, a grocery store and a shopping mall are located nearby. A café-restaurant and breakfast are available on site. Also possibility of massage. It is a good value for money for a 3-star establishment.

Opened in 2014, the most luxurious establishment in the area has excellent facilities with a multitude of activities, a beautiful pool compensating for the absence of a real beach, kayaking and diving trips of course. As for the rooms, there is something for everyone: from the superb modern and comfortable room with a view on the bay, to the family suites, it is even possible to spend the night in small typical Ifugao wooden houses, for those who are looking for something more original. The choice is yours.

Located on the shores of Taal Lake, this is one of the most popular 3-star resorts and the closest to Taal Lake. The lush vegetation gives the illusion of being in a village far away from the urban agitation of Tagaytay, on the heights. The animations and activities are multiple and there is even a chapel on the spot. On weekends, it can be crowded but it is so big that you never feel cramped. The rooms are quite comfortable and pleasant. Perhaps the most luxurious in its category.

This casita with the look of an old colonial house is a real oasis of calm in the heart of Legazpi. Tastefully decorated with a host of personal touches (such as the host's own paintings), and open to the outdoors, it feels both at home and unplugged as if on vacation. The breakfast is homemade with fresh products, it is delicious. It's a great place to stay to explore the region of Bicol, which the lovely hosts, Elizabeth and Martin, speak about with great passion. We recommend it!

Opened in 2019, the Marison Hotel, with its beautiful illuminated and curved facade at the corner of the street, is "only" a 3-star but it has the ambition of the greatest. And the bet is successful because indeed the services offered are beyond the expectations of a 3-star: a charming, polite and available staff, comfortable rooms with a contemporary design (a little impersonal too, it's true), some offering a view of the volcano, a very good breakfast, a restaurant and even a small swimming pool. In short, everything is gathered to spend a good stay.

Amor Farm Beach Resort is located on the main road, close to the village and just in front of the sea. We appreciate its luxuriant garden and the good atmosphere which reigns there, thanks to the very nice staff and the activities which are regularly organized. They also organize diving trips. The rooms are basic but quite suitable for the price. The restaurant serves good food and the setting is really nice with palm trees and small huts. In the evening, the sunset is superb.

A very good boutique hotel with 40 rooms, located in a sort of quiet subdivision near the airport. The whole is elegant and distinguished, though perhaps a little old-fashioned. The comfort is quite acceptable. Some rooms have a veranda with a view of the majestic Mayon volcano. There is also a swimming pool and a large restaurant where a buffet breakfast is served in the morning. The staff is very attentive. A very good value for money for this 3-star hotel.

Probably one of the best hotels in its category. The bungalows, lined up around the pool, are charming and comfortable, the decoration is simple but modern and there is air conditioning and correct bedding. Some consider this resort to be the most comfortable in Donsol. It overlooks the beach, where the restaurant is located and where it is pleasant to enjoy a delicious cocktail at the end of the day, facing the sunset. The food is good. It is a peaceful hotel, just like Donsol.

It is actually two resorts: Splash Mountain (including Splash Hotek, Oasis Hotel and The Suites Hotel) and City of Springs, 1 km further. Both are located at the foot of Mount Makiling. People come here to enjoy the thermal waters and a friendly and welcoming environment. All kinds of rooms (a bit old-fashioned) are available, some with a very nice view of the lake. It is not necessary to stay overnight: you can just come during the day.

An establishment that is mainly aimed at families looking for a place to relax for a weekend where you can enjoy the charming swimming pool that children will particularly appreciate for its slides and other modules. It is not the most modern hotel but the staff is attentive and the place offers quality services for small budgets. It is also known for hosting wedding receptions on a regular basis. A haven of peace easily accessible from Manila.
