  • hotelAccommodations
    Most Hotels in North Luzon are lacking quality, service and the (slightly) better beach resorts are overrated so if you are expecting 5 star level of a ccommodation its better to avoid beautiful North. Keep in mind that many smaller places are family run. Some hotels in Vigan and San Juan are exception and offer good value of money. We visited all places and made a selection of our own and our client experiences: logistics, service, food quality, ambiance, value-for-money and location. Room rate is per night twin/double sharing and includes breakfast where indicated. Of course, we can also book your own suggested hotel.
    • Banaue Tour

      They have a few cheaper and smaller rooms in the main building but you have to take a few more stairs. The rooms are of high quality mostly imported materials. Their best room has a jacuzzi overlooking the Banaue rice terraces.

      Their newest 10 and cheapest forest view rooms ( 22m2) offer 1 queen size bed and are located opposite the main building. Also the rooms are made of high standard materials. They serve international dishes in their restaurant which can be crowded during busy days.




      Banaue Heritage Hotel and Museum

      Banaue Heritage Hotel and Museum, boutique hotel, is located 20 min walk from the Banaue town center. The 14 rooms are small but very neatly and have aircon. You have to take some steps to reach the reception and the rooms.

      Staff is friendly.

      They dont have their own restaurant though they serve breakfast. You may try Las Vegas restaurant opposite the road or the nearby restaurant of Tam An hotel. For the entry of the museum they charge php 300.00 and the museum holds the biggest collection of rice gods. Great views from their terrace over the nearby rice terraces.




      Tam-an Hotel

      It is a relatively new hotel and their rooms are big. In each room they have 2 queen size beds or the slightly more expensive rooms have 2 king size beds. Also here you have to walk a few steps to get to the reception and the rooms.

      The advantage is that you can start your Batad tour early upon waking up. No need for an hour drive from Banaue. And if coming from Cauayan (3.5 hour drive) you don't have to drive to Banaue first for your overnight.




      Rock Inn and Cafe

      Rock Inn and Cafe in Sagada

      This place has only 7 well designed rooms and are the best available in Sagada. It’s located 1.5 km from the center. As its a very small place it does not have an extensive menu and services are not on the same level as the quality of the room might suggest.
