Philippine Travel Forum

Hi VTer's. Me and my fiance are booked for this weekend at Arizona International Hotel at Subic. Would you guys give me an idea if the place is just alright? basing on the reviews I read lately from a different site, it does look great,however I really can't tell yet. Would appreciate more insights or reviews about the hotel/place. Thanks much and more touring to all of us! =)

Hi VT'ers,
Just a simple question on the weather. We're intending to be travelling to Vigan in the first 2 weeks of May. I know that currently in Manila, there is still rain. What is to be expected for the region where Vigan is on the north west coast?
Can we still expect to be doing beach type stuff in early May? I was told that rain will be present until at least end of July on the mainland.

Lastly, any recommendations for reasonable accomodations - pensionnes, BnB's or hotels fine. As long as it's between 1-2K pesos per night. I prefer family run places for intimacy and that personal touch.

Look forward to your feedback.

Cheers Chucky.

We would like to spent January 08 holiday on a beach. At least 2-3 weeks. We don't know where would be the best. We will take our 1yo child and her grandma... I guess we look for something like a resort or a calm beach. We still need the pubs in the evenings :)...and so everyone will be happy.
We won't fix a budget but should be average, variations are tolerated though. We will highly appreciate any advises, as we want to make it nice.
From Shanghai, with thanks !

HI! I'll go on Philippine on february but I don't know too much abotu this place. May be someone could help me.. !I'll stay there for a week so I wouldn't to do many transfer (plane+car+bus+boat+bus..finally resort!! he! he!). I would like find a nice resort near airport, with nice beach and sea.
