Me and my husband plans to visit pagudpud for 2days and we'll be bringing our families. It would be like 3families around 15 adults and 7kids between 10-3yrs old. I have a few concerns since i cannot browse much in the net for some dont have websites to refer to. Hope you guys could help me. Thanks in advance!

• first is which resort is the good place to stay with family and kids at a manageable price?
• place having kitchen as well where guest can cook themselves (save a bit on food) :)
• i also consider hannahs resort since it's a family oriented place and closer to blue lagoon but its a bit pricey. Is there a better place close to it?
• any suggested itenirary for 2days stay? We have our own transpo and may arrive in pagudpud at dawn on the first day. We might not hire a tour guide then so please help how to maximize the time whilst enjoying all the things to do and see in pagudpud.

Thank you so much! It will be a great help. Btw, the family adventure will be on the last week of april(hope its not yet too late to plan) Godbless you all.

Hi, we are planning to travel on Ilocos Norte on March 27 and 28, Thursday and Friday then Ilocos Sur on Sat...please need suggestion a good iterrinary for Ilocos Norte. We are taking bus from Manila. We need a good van and accomodation ideas .

DAY 0 (FRIDAY) My girlfriend and I are planning to visit Ilocos this summer. We will depart friday night from NAIA terminal 3 at around 1900H and arrive Laoag Airport at around 2030H. Probably will just spend the night in a hotel. Is Hotel Tiffany a good stay? DAY 1 (Saturday) We are planning to tour around good spots near Laoag. Base from what I read, these are: - Paoay Church - Paoay Lake - Malacanang of the North - Marcos Mausoleum and Muesum - St. Williams Cathedral - Sinking Bell Tower - Museo Ilocos Norte - La Paz Sand Dunes - Sta. Monica Church in Sarrat - After the tour, we will go to Pagudpud Could anyone advise me what should be the order in visiting these places so that we could maximize our time. Or could I ask anyone of a contact number of a tour guide? Is the tour also feasible? We are planning to finish the tour at around 5-6PM. Then go to Pagudpud. DAY 2 (SUNDAY) We are planning to stay either in Punta Azul or Hannah Beach Resort. Which is better of the two? We plan to also to tour around near spots in Pagudpud such as: - Bangui Windmills - Cape Bojeador Lighthouse - Patapat Viaduct - Kaibigan Falls - Timagtang Rock Formation - Batay Abot Cave - Agua Grande - Don Hermanos Islands We're planning to leave the resort at around 6PM because our flight back to Manila is at 2030H. What about the traffic from Pagudpud to Laoag Airport? Is it not so heavy? Is it already enough to allot 2.5 hours for travel time from pagudpud to laoag? Thanks very much guys! I'm a newbie here. I will really appreciate your replies.

I really need your help... My girlfriend and I will arrive at Laoag Airport at around 9:15PM. Are there buses at that time bound to Pagudpud? We are in a tight budget so we plan to go directly at Pagudpud and not to spend money in hotels. What is the last trip going to Pagudpud? And just in case there are no buses at that time, what is the cheapest hotel / inn / suite (whatever) that we can stay for the night? Thanks in advance for the help.

Hi, A friend and me will be arriving in Laoag Airport on March 26 evening, and will be leaving on March 29, mid afternoon. Just some questions that I'm sure you can help me : 1. Would you recommend if we can just rent a car there? if yes, do you have any contact numbers that you can refer? 2. Please recommend where can we stay. 3. What itinerary would be best so we can maximize our visit to the very historic Ilocos, since we are just both balikbayans? Appreciate your response.

This coming July 2012, a friend and I will be going to Batac and spend some days here for her immersion study. There is a big chance that I will have so much time in my hand while there and I could go and sight-see. With regards to this: 1) How long will it take me to see all the popular spots in Batac: Marcos Museum&House, churches? 2) What other towns could I visit that is at most an hour away from Batac? To you guys, thank you in advance!

Hi there, a friend of mine and I were planning to visit Ilocos. Plan is taking a bus from manila to ilocos on thursday night so we can start the tour on Friday morning up to Saturday afternoon. Then we'll take a bus on Saturday night going back to Manila. Is the time too short to visit the nice places in Ilocos?

We hope to visit Laoag-Pagudpod and Vigan but just picking the best spot to visit on each place to cover the 3 locations. Hope you can help us.
