The best accommodations Northern Mindanao

The hotel is comfortable and beautifully decorated. The rooms have air conditioning, cable TV and telephone. Access to the free Wi-Fi network. There is a swimming pool and coffee shop.

Enjoying a very central location, this hotel is situated in a secure housing estate and is close to restaurants and bars. The rooms are simple, clean and recently renovated. The dormitories are also clean and well-kept. They are not co-ed. Beware, as the area is busy, it can be quite noisy. This is a good base for backpackers and other budget travelers.

This resort is an interesting mix of styles. The rooms are quite pretty and well-lit. There are rooms of all capacities to meet the needs of every traveler (solo, family, couple, group). Suites are in circular cottages with bay windows. In the evening, you can enjoy karaoke by the pool, or play pool or table tennis. A wide choice of water sports is available, and the beach is just up the road. Numerous restaurants can be found in the immediate vicinity. A good address.

Situated close to the airport and landing stage, this hotel offers comfortable, functional rooms that are not very charming, but quite decent. The advantages: a huge swimming pool, a whirlpool and a restaurant with a good reputation among the locals are at guests' disposal. The staff are helpful and available, and the breakfast is good. Good value for money and an establishment that does the trick for a transitional night.

Located along the road, just a few minutes from the restaurants, this establishment is quite popular with those traveling in groups, as there are rooms for ten with kitchens for just PHP 4,000 a night. The rooms, double or family, are relatively cosy and welcoming, though not very spacious. The general atmosphere is friendly yet calm, and the staff are very helpful and hospitable. This is one of the best value for money hotels around.

Old house renovated in the hotel. Spacious, clean rooms with air conditioning and hot water. The interior of the house is well decorated. The restaurant offers a variety of menus.

One of the oldest restaurants in the city, which will undoubtedly enjoy Philippine cuisine.

Among the cheapest in the city.

The Dynasty Court is one of the largest hotels in the city (perhaps the largest) and offers clean, decorated rooms and a number of services. The restaurant serves Chinese specialities, and is very popular with Chinese living in the Philippines…

Rooms are quite simple but clean. Restaurant, bar, billiards, boat and kayak rental, but also motorbike. The hotel has its own diving centre. Relaxing atmosphere.

A 1-étoile establishment very well located in the center of the island's capital, offering some forty very simple, not to say rudimentary, rooms, each with a private bathroom. Given the price, it would be almost cheeky to be picky, but this is without doubt the best value for money on the island. Good to know, GV Hotels is a budget hotel chain with establishments in strategic locations such as Bohol, Cebu and Leyte. It's always a good option for those on a budget.

Located on the jungle side, this is probably one of the best addresses on the island, with excellent services (surfing, stand-up paddle, yoga, massage). You'll sleep in pretty bungalows in hardwood and nippa, each with a different layout and decoration, scattered around a large, well-kept lush garden. The adjoining Italian-inspired restaurant is also very popular with Siargao locals, especially for its excellent pizzas. Excursions to the islands are also available.

The Mao Mao is the epitome of Siargao's charm and reputation. Rooms in the form of teepees, cosy and welcoming. Friendly, smiling staff and dedicated, professional surf instructors. A restaurant offering healthy, vitamin-packed dishes that are colorful and always very good. On the plate: gourmet toasts, fruit and granola bowls, detox juices, pancakes... And on the menu: fun, encounters and lots of memories!

The Best Western Boracay Tropics is a vacation village located in Boracay, a paradise island in the Philippines. This resort offers an idyllic setting for a relaxing seaside vacation.

Located in a lively Boracay resort, Villa Sunset is a friendly 3-star hotel. It's just a 2-minute walk from White Beach and 3 km from Cagban Jetty Port. The colorful, casual studios offer pool views from their balconies or patios. They are equipped with a living area, free Wi-Fi access, cable TV and a minibar. One- and two-bedroom apartments also feature a sofa bed, separate living room and kitchenette. Breakfast is included in the room rate.

Kawayan is one of Siargao's most exclusive and elegant resorts. It comprises just two superb villas, each with its own swimming pool, which can accommodate two or three people. Set in a lush tropical garden, they are beautifully furnished (the outdoor showers are most relaxing) and very comfortable. The restaurant offers delicious seafood-based cuisine, accompanied by French-style sauces and sashimi. The calm atmosphere is ideal for a relaxing stay.

Located in the center of Butuan, close to restaurants and other amenities, this establishment offers clean, comfortable rooms with air conditioning and hot-water showers. Breakfast and other meals can be enjoyed in the adjoining Café Primavera restaurant, which serves delicious Filipino and Asian fusion cuisine. For the very economical price, the services are more than up to scratch, with staff on hand to help you organize excursions, book transport and more. Excellent value for money.

Located right on the beach, this resort offers charming individual rooms and bungalows combining local architecture with more contemporary furnishings using natural materials and soft tones. Surf packages are also available. The Spanish-inspired restaurant uses as much local food as possible to offer a varied, gourmet menu. It overlooks a small swimming pool and the flat sea, ideal for swimming and kitesurfing. In the evening, the place comes alive with lounge music. Very cool atmosphere, excellent food and ideal location!

Not a bad option in Cagayan. A modern, clean, white-fronted 3-star hotel built in 2011, around a swimming pool and five kilometers from the hustle and bustle of downtown. All rooms are spacious, comfortable and functional. Those in the superior category all have their own balcony overlooking the pool. This is quite rare and therefore very much appreciated. The staff are available and efficient, and the hotel provides every possible service, including airport transfers, dry cleaning and room service.

Certainly one of the island's most exclusive resorts. It features contemporary villas, tastefully decorated, private pools and sea views. Kalinaw means "relaxation" in Visaya, and that's exactly what this 4-star hotel, designed by two Frenchmen, offers: a total experience of tranquillity in luxurious surroundings. In the restaurant, with its airy wooded interior and elegant Asian design, or on the beach, you can enjoy a bold blend of Filipino and European cuisine, with a French touch that perfectly complements the wine list.
