The best accommodations Luzon

Pem's pension is a good alternative if Casa Rosa is full for example. Some of the cottages have a direct view of the Santa Isabel fort. The rooms are equipped with a fan and the cottages with air conditioning. Wifi is available in the restaurant and the very friendly staff can arrange tours of the area. The restaurant offers the usual Filipino specialties and a selection of sandwiches. Correct.

Near Busuanga (for a change from Coron), here are wooden huts with a balcony worthy of Robinson Crusoe! We stay there for the unobstructed view on the bay surrounded by mangroves and memorable sunsets. A delicious cuisine compensates for the limited choice. The visitor is invited to watch his water consumption in this protected area. Brian, the owner of the place and a great nature lover, is available for his guests and can organize private excursions to the islands. The rest of the staff is also very nice. To discover.

One of the newest establishments in this price range. It is in the center of Coron Town (be careful with the noise, there is a karaoke next door). The dormitories or rooms that are offered are clean and functional but not always very bright. They are very basic. There is a water fountain available and the basic but good breakfast is offered. One of the advantages of the Sea Horse is also its roof terrace on which meals are served and from which one can enjoy a magnificent view on the bay of Coron.

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!

Just a stone's throw from the bus terminals and the entertainment center, bright and simply decorated rooms inside a small glass tower. The hotel was a bit run down but was renovated in 2022 and now offers rooms with air conditioning, correct bedding and hot water showers... in short all the necessary comfort expected from a 3-star hotel. The whole thing does the trick for a short stay. The staff is considerate.

The Ola! Hostel has a total of 27 rooms spread over 5 floors. Dorms with 4, 6 or 8 beds with a locker for each traveler. Both the private rooms and the dormitories have a working air conditioner. The decoration is a bit faded but the whole place is still very clean and comfortable, it's a good value for money for travelers who are looking for a good deal rather than luxury. There is a restaurant-bar on the rooftop where it is easy to meet other people. The staff is very friendly.

El Nido is a picturesque town in the province of Palawan, Philippines. Among the many accommodations available, Mahogany Villa is a popular choice for travelers seeking relaxation and comfort. Located in Corong Corong, Mahogany Villa offers a peaceful setting with stunning sea views. Guests can enjoy a wide range of services and facilities, including a swimming pool, spa, restaurant and bar. The friendly, attentive staff are always ready to help guests make the most of their stay. You can also follow them on social networks to keep up to date with the latest news and special offers.

Very isolated, this magnificent resort is the latest to be built. Located on a paradisiacal island of the Bacuit archipelago, it is very exclusive and offers services accordingly. The luxurious villas, on the beach or in the canopy, are in total harmony with the tropical environment. A heavenly setting for an exceptional stay. Swimming pool and water sports à la carte. Romantic dinner on a deserted island, spa, splendid sunrise and sunset... Luxury at its best.

All the comforts of luxury with a magnificent view of Manila Bay! In addition to its 993 elegantly decorated rooms and suites (from 60 to 565^m2), this resort has a fitness center, a spa, a barbershop, a beauty salon and 3 swimming pools. For children, 8 leisure areas have been developed. Finally, a 3,000^m2 garden allows you to take a breath of fresh air in the middle of Manila. To vary the pleasures, you should also try the 14 restaurants of the hotel, test the Cove nightclub, attend the various shows and especially visit the casino.

On Big La Laguna (thus more quiet), this hotel, also a diving center, offers good quality services and the echoes of the divers are very good. The rooms are nice, clean and functional. Some of them offer a very nice view on the sea. The panoramic view from the rooftop restaurant is great. There is a good atmosphere, especially since the staff is very attentive, especially the diving instructors who are particularly professional and friendly. A nice stay in a trustworthy establishment in perspective.

Located near the main beach of Itaytay, this hotel is one of the only ones to have a swimming pool in Port Barton, for the great pleasure of its guests. We love the architecture of the establishment, a bit like a Cycladic hotel, with its smooth white rounded walls, its beautiful volumes, the inlaid furniture. Associated with the thatched roof in nippa, the whole has a lot of character. Inside, the rooms are minimalist, clean and comfortable. The staff is very attentive and the restaurant serves very good food. Definitely a good address.

Here is an interesting concept for travelers who love freedom and do not want to depend on restaurants and other bars to eat. Indeed, in this homestay, we rent small bungalows fitted out in apartments including a functional and equipped kitchen. Moreover, this guesthouse being located in Caalan Beach - and thus out of the noise of the city center - you will really feel like you are on vacation, heating fish on your barbecue.

This brand new hotel is located near Manila Bay and Dolomites Beach, ideal for watching the sunset. Rizal Park is also within walking distance and the airport is a 40 minute drive away. Very good value for money. Room with double bed or two single beds. The service is basic but courteous, there is no restaurant or breakfast. The room is very good, without great charm but clean, quiet and the bedding is comfortable. We recommend it for a night or two in the calm, in the tumult of the city.

The Circle is a chain of youth hostels and the one in La Union is particularly nice. Attention, nothing luxurious or classy, quite the contrary! Like a mini village of bamboo huts in which are located the dormitories, the common sanitary facilities which are well maintained, this hostel is a few meters from the beach. There is a particular friendly and relaxed atmosphere. The restaurant serves simple but very good food. Very good value for money.

Between the breathtaking view of the rice fields and the hospitality of Denwil, Joel and their family, Bogah Lodge feels like a little paradise. Bogah means "rice" in Ifugao. The food is very good, the hosts also act as guides (of great quality!) to organize your days. Here, no fuss, basic and warm rooms, a big family atmosphere, it is easy to discuss with other travelers on the large terrace. A small stream runs underneath, very soothing. Our favorite address in Banaue.

Here is an address that completes very well the hotel offer of Manila and especially the district of Intramuros where the hotel offer is almost non-existent. The White Knight, located in the very charming Plaza San Luis, offers 29 rooms decorated with the charm of the old. Nevertheless, they are well equipped and above all very clean, for a rather interesting quality-price ratio. If you are looking for the quietness of Intramuros and a historical atmosphere, this is an address not to be missed. We like it. For a Spanish stay!

Freshly opened in 2019, Bacau Bay has joined the select club of upscale hotels in Coron. It's true that once you walk through the doors, you are immersed in a world of luxury and refinement. The staff is courteous and the welcome is warm. The rooms are sober and elegant, the bed is soft and the bathroom well equipped. The swimming pool, the cocktail bar, the restaurant, everything is up to what we expect from an establishment of this standing. The little extra: a pretty pontoon from which the excursion boats leave directly.

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.

If you want to experience sleeping in a native house, the traditional habitat of the Ifugao villages, this is the place for you! There are several huts, each with its own bathroom and a breathtaking view. The owners are very helpful and can organize all your excursions in the surrounding rice fields. A breakfast is served in the morning, and the cherry on the cake: it is possible to ask to light a fire in front of your hut.

A beautiful hotel that targets mainly a clientele attracted by diving. The owner's family is also passionate about diving and offers many expeditions in the area for macro-photography enthusiasts or simply for those who wish to explore little-known seabeds or take courses. As for the rooms, they are sober but functional, marbled of course and comfortable. The restaurant serves very good food. A nice stay in perspective.

The Grand Octagon Resort offers the best of Laoag for a perfect stay in every way.

Located on a lively street in Quezon City, the Oracle Hotel & Residences is a modern 3-star hotel. It is close to numerous stores and restaurants, and just a few kilometers from the Quezon Memorial Circle and Araneta Center shopping mall. Rooms are decorated with paintings by local and international artists, and feature free Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs and mini-refrigerators. Suites also feature a living room and kitchenette. Breakfast is available at an additional cost. The hotel also offers a gym. Guests particularly appreciate the cleanliness of the rooms, the convenient location and the hotel's services.

It is rather a good quality-price ratio that you will find in this establishment. The place is quiet, the rooms, without much charm, offer the necessary and expected comfort at this price. The staff is very helpful and welcoming, they will be able to help you for your excursions in the surroundings. A breakfast is offered in the morning. The location is perhaps the small drawback if you do not travel with a private vehicle but tricycles pass in the street and will bring you where you want. An address to consider for a night or two.

It's the first hostel worthy of the name in Port Barton and already CocoRico is the place to be for backpackers passing through the seaside town. The whole place is very nice, the decoration combining the charm of the native houses and the modernity of the waxed concrete, has a chic side in the air of time. The dormitories are comfortable (curtains on each bed), and the shared bathrooms are pleasantly clean and practical. In the restaurant, from breakfast to dinner, everything is excellent, and on weekends the atmosphere is festive. The new place to be in Port Barton !

In the heart of Batad village, a charming guesthouse with basic but comfortable rooms and decent sanitary facilities (not always with hot water but like everywhere in Batad). The food is very good (we recommend the vegetable chopsuey with local rice of course) and the view from the terrace on the first floor is simply incredible of beauty and tranquility. Don't hesitate to stop there just to eat. On top of that, you can visit a native house and even make your own rice, a great experience!

In terms of paradise, let's face it, you can hardly do better. Located on the magnificent beach of Duli, 25 km from El Nido, at the end of a bumpy road (paradise has to be earned!), a few simple but pretty and comfortable bungalows stand proudly between forest, cliffs and white sand beach. What a pleasure to wake up with the sound of the waves and such a great view. On the agenda, surfing and lazing around. A very good breakfast and restaurant. A waking dream for all nature lovers.

Located just minutes from Clark Airport and 2 hours from Manila, this 4-star hotel is perfect for travelers in transit, flying from Angeles. It offers all the necessary comforts, two restaurants, a spa and a very nice pool with a view. The rooms are modern and comfortable. The staff is attentive. The value for money for this level of service is very good. A good address for those who are just passing through and do not want to take part in the dubious nightlife of the city.

Far from the hustle and bustle of downtown El Nido, nestled in a natural setting, Bahala Na Villas is a micro-lot of luxury villas. Each villa has 2 bedrooms, a bathroom and a living room-kitchen opening onto a private patio with a pool. All of this is hidden from view, where you can relax in a calm environment. The whitewashed walls and the bohemian-chic decoration give an air of Ibiza to the whole. The Filipino breakfast is delicious and the staff is dedicated and will meet all your expectations. Tricycle reservation and scooter rental. We love it!

Conveniently located on Corong-Corong beach, just minutes from the center of El Nido, Outspot is a modern, friendly and welcoming hostel. Modern, friendly and welcoming. It is the ideal place for backpackers who are looking for a place to meet people in a festive and friendly atmosphere. The staff is also very nice. They organize their own excursions to El Nido and the restaurant-bar serves very decent breakfasts, food and drinks at affordable prices. A good hostel.

Just below Batad Pension, very rudimentary rooms in traditional huts (without electricity). One of them is a real museum of ifugao art (with skulls of animals including monkeys, rabbits, deer and wild boars): it was the house of Ramon's grandfather more than a century ago. The food is very good. Ramon is one of the village elders, so he is well respected and has a lot to teach you. A good place to have a 100% local experience. Price is right.

Travel on a budget with style? It's possible at Spin designer hostel! This designer hostel has not skimped on the bold, modern and colorful decoration. We like the fact that there are dormitories reserved for women and that the common bathrooms are quite clean and well maintained. The breakfasts (pancakes and omelets cooked under our eyes) are at the top and the team is all smiles, very nice. The wifi is efficient, and the atmosphere is ideal to meet other travelers while being quite calm.

In the heart of Makati, a 5-star hotel that is resolutely urban, trendy and modern. We love the infinity pool on the roof where a very lounge atmosphere reigns as well as the bar on the trendy rooftop which attracts a crowd of locals and tourists. The interior design is a success: sophistication and art pieces at the rendez-vous! The big plus of the place? The huge onsen spa (i.e. Japanese style), the biggest in the Philippines, which promises to offer you a relaxing interlude. Interesting promotions on the website.

In the heart of the bustling Makati district, here is a real boutique hotel as we like them: style, design, art and good taste! Run by Franco-Filipino owners, we can recognize the hexagonal influence, especially in the cuisine with Mediterranean accents served in a wooded setting with a half-vegetal, half-industrial decoration and the quality of the homemade bread and croissants! To crown it all, the musical atmosphere is nice and the service is attentive. The rooms, mixing wood and waxed concrete, are comfortable and modern.

The Cocoon boutique hotel is well named. This charming hotel is indeed a small cosy cocoon in the urban jungle of Quezon. The owners, defenders of the environment, have thought of everything to make the property as green and responsible as possible, hat! It's comfortable and charming, we feel good, especially since the pool, surrounded by plants, and the spa are little delights. Congratulations to the team for the impeccable service.

On Corong Corong beach, this intimate boutique hotel exudes character. The rooms have clean lines, minimalist aesthetics, a soothing color palette and natural materials. A sharp design. The sea-facing restaurant serves quality Mediterranean cuisine and the friendly bar has a rich menu. The place is also perfect for admiring the fabulous sunsets over the bay. We almost forgot: the small pool on the sea front is delicious. One of the most beautiful addresses of El Nido.

Overlooking the small beach of Small Lalaguna, Out of the Blue is an intimate family resort. The villas combine Mediterranean (beautiful terracotta tiles) and local influences with every possible comfort. The rest of the property is just as pleasant with two pools (one high up, the other at sea level), a superb view of the bay, an attentive and professional staff and finally the Verandah restaurant, reputed to be one of the best in Sabang, whose menu mixes western and local dishes for all appetites!

At 35 meters from the beach, it is the first and still one of the only resorts in Port Barton with a swimming pool. The thatched and nippa bungalows are very simple and not particularly modern but they all have a small terrace overlooking the pool. Although not at all luxurious, it is one of the most stylish hotels in Port Barton. The owners and staff are friendly and can be very helpful in organizing excursions in and around Port Barton. A peaceful and welcoming establishment.

This boutique hotel, with its beautiful contemporary architecture, is located on the beach of Marimegmeg, a fifteen-minute walk from the center of El Nido. The spacious rooms all have balconies overlooking the bay. Their decoration mixes modern elements, handcrafted textures and soft colors, which gives them a lot of character. As a bonus, there is a long horizontal pool just steps from the beach. Relaxing and chic atmosphere at the same time. A charming address.

A relaxed family welcome for this address away from the hustle and bustle. The establishment includes simple rooms installed in authentic bamboo and nippa huts. There is a possibility to eat on the spot with a classic choice of Filipino dishes very well done. The place is clean and well kept, and will suit travelers looking for authenticity and tranquility. The location on the beach is idyllic. In the evening, it is pleasant to watch the sunset from one of the hammocks.

Built for the comfort and convenience of its guests, Sea Cocoon is a clean, well-maintained facility ideal for relaxing. The rooms are comfortable, especially the bedding, and are a good value. The hotel is centrally located (beware of noise), close to restaurants, bars and shops, and only one block from the beach. The staff is very helpful and friendly, they can help you with your expeditions. A convenient base to enjoy all the activities of El Nido.

Probably the cheapest accommodation around, on the heights of the mangrove, in the heart of Busuanga Island. The communal showers are basic but spacious and well kept. The rooms and the dormitory are in wooden huts, very typical. Despite the geographical distance, it is very easy to organize excursions to the islands or diving. And in the evening, what a joy to find this corner of paradise so calm and exotic. The atmosphere is friendly, the food very good. A good choice for solo travelers for example.

Ahras Place is located at the entrance of Coron Town, quietly below the main road. This 3-story hotel is quite cozy. In the morning, a breakfast is offered in the open restaurant. The rooms are basic and untidy. The bathroom is cramped and there is no hot water to boot. But as it is difficult to find cheap accommodation in Coron, this one is a decent choice and the atmosphere is nice, the staff very friendly. If you are looking for luxury and pleasure, you will have to pay a little more to be better off in Coron.

Crossroads Hostel Manila is one of those urban hostels with a great location. The MRT station is only 150 meters away, giving you mobility to Ninoy Aquino International Airport (MNL). It is also just minutes away from SM Megamall, the country's largest shopping mall. Finally, you'll find cafes, a fitness center, a climbing wall and a trampoline center within a 5-minute walk. The hostel offers 30 beds in six dormitories (mixed, women's or men's). Continental breakfast is included.

Tennis, health club, spa, numerous restaurants, 700 rooms... The Shangri-La is definitely a superlative hotel! A Makati institution. On the third floor, a small garden in the heart of the city is well worth a visit. Here you can relax and, for those with a sweet tooth, sample the hotel's ice cream and crêpes flambées. The hotel, which had been closed since the start of the pandemic, reopened in 2023. Two other addresses of similar standing await you: Shangri-La The Fort near Bonifacio Global City and Edsa Shangri-La.

Small hotel offering correct rooms with air-conditioning and private toilets. Well located, it is very quiet, and even if the rooms are a bit cramped, the whole thing does the trick for those who prefer an accommodation with a bit more rustic decoration than the sometimes aseptic one of more modern hotels. An address with an interesting price for its central location, but not really a good value for money given the almost non-existent services. The Filipino breakfast is basic but correct.

This small establishment, renowned among Art Deco lovers, has kept the charm of the 1930s, at least on its façade and in some of the common areas. But several rooms (the most basic ones) are a bit old-fashioned and would deserve a little refreshment. The hotel is located close to Rizal Park and the biggest shopping mall in Asia. The adjoining Michelle Bistro serves honest food. Finally, the staff is available and pleasant. A small unpretentious hotel, with a noticeable Art Deco touch.

Located in the center of Puerto Princesa, on the road leading to the port, this hostel is built only with local and natural materials such as wood and bamboo, which gives it a rustic charm. The whole place is nicely decorated and rather peaceful. Prefer the rooms on the first floor which offer a view of the sea and the harbor located at the back of the hotel. The restaurant is on the top floor with a nice panoramic view as well. The staff is available and can help you organize your excursions around the city. Good value for money.
