Frequently asked questions about hotels in Philippines
What are the best landmarks to visit in the Philippines?
The Philippines boasts incredible landmarks. For historical significance, Intramuros in Manila, a walled city dating back to the Spanish colonial era, is a must-see. Another iconic landmark is the Banaue Rice Terraces in Ifugao province, a UNESCO World Heritage site showcasing ancient rice paddies carved into mountainsides. For natural beauty, consider the Chocolate Hills in Bohol, a geological formation of rolling hills that turn brown during the dry season, or the Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park in Palawan, a stunning underground river system.
What are the most popular 2, 3 and 4-star hotels in Philippines?
What are some must-do activities in the Philippines?
Activities are plentiful! Island hopping in El Nido or Coron in Palawan is incredibly popular, showcasing stunning lagoons and hidden beaches. Diving or snorkelling in Tubbataha Reefs Natural Park (a UNESCO World Heritage site) offers exceptional marine biodiversity. For a cultural experience, visit a local market such as the Baguio City Public Market and try some delicious local treats. Hiking Mount Apo, the country's highest peak, is a challenging but rewarding experience for adventurous travellers.
The best time to visit generally falls between December and February, during the dry season. However, the weather varies significantly depending on the region. The northern parts can experience cooler temperatures, while the southern regions remain warm year-round. Typhoon season runs from June to November, so it's best to check the weather forecast before travelling during those months.
What are the best family friendly hotels in Philippines?
Which neighbourhoods or areas are best for spending a week in the Philippines?
A week allows for exploring a specific region. For a blend of city life and natural beauty, consider staying in Manila for a few days to explore Intramuros and other historical sites, then heading to Tagaytay for stunning views of Taal Volcano. Alternatively, spending the entire week exploring the islands of Palawan offers incredible beaches, lagoons and diving opportunities. Cebu City provides a good base for exploring various islands in the Visayas region.
What are the best pet friendly hotels in Philippines?
Which parts of the Philippines are perfect for a weekend getaway?
For a quick escape, consider destinations easily accessible from major cities. Tagaytay, near Manila, offers stunning views and cooler temperatures. Bohol, known for the Chocolate Hills and its beaches, is also a popular choice for a short trip. If you're based in Cebu, a weekend trip to nearby islands like Malapascua or Bantayan is feasible, offering beautiful beaches and relaxed island vibes.
What are the best hotels with jacuzzi in Philippines?
Is renting a car recommended for exploring the Philippines?
Renting a car can be challenging due to traffic in major cities and the condition of some roads outside urban areas. Public transport, such as jeepneys and tricycles, is widely available and often more convenient for shorter distances, especially within cities. For exploring islands, it's often easier and more cost-effective to use ferries and local transport.
What are the best hotels with a swimming pool in Philippines?
Are credit cards widely accepted in the Philippines?
Credit card acceptance is improving, but it's still not as widespread as in other countries. Many smaller establishments and local businesses prefer cash. It's advisable to carry sufficient Philippine pesos, especially when travelling outside major cities and tourist areas.
What are the largest airports in the Philippines?
Ninoy Aquino International Airport (MNL) in Manila is the main international gateway. Other significant airports include Mactan-Cebu International Airport (CEB) in Cebu and Francisco B. Reyes Airport (Clark International Airport) in Angeles City.
Are there any unwritten rules of behaviour visitors should know about the Philippines?
Filipinos are generally very hospitable. Showing respect for elders is crucial; using 'po' and 'opo' when addressing them is a sign of politeness. Removing your shoes before entering homes and some religious sites is customary. Being mindful of local customs and traditions will enhance your experience.
What local specialties should you try in the Philippines?
The cuisine is diverse! Adobo, a dish of meat braised in vinegar, soy sauce, garlic and peppercorns, is a national favourite. Sinigang, a sour and savoury soup, is another popular choice. Lechon, a whole roasted pig, is a special occasion dish, often served during fiestas. Try halo-halo, a refreshing dessert of shaved ice, sweet beans, fruits and milk.
Where are the best shopping spots in the Philippines?
Greenbelt Mall and Shangri-La Plaza in Makati City offer high-end shopping experiences. Ayala Center Cebu is a popular shopping destination in Cebu City. For more local markets, explore Divisoria Market in Manila for a vibrant and bustling experience, though be prepared for crowds.
What signature events or festivals take place in the Philippines?
The Philippines has many festivals! Sinulog Festival in Cebu City is a vibrant celebration held every January. Panagbenga Flower Festival in Baguio City is a colourful spectacle celebrating flowers in February. MassKara Festival in Bacolod City is known for its cheerful masks and parades.
What’s the best place in the Philippines for mild and comfortable weather?
Baguio City in the Cordillera Administrative Region offers a cooler climate than most of the country, making it a popular escape from the heat. Tagaytay, near Manila, also provides a pleasant climate with cooler temperatures and views of Taal Volcano.
What are the most common travel mistakes tourists make in the Philippines?
Common mistakes include not exchanging enough Philippine pesos, underestimating travel times between islands, and not being adequately prepared for the tropical climate. Failing to research local customs and traditions can also lead to unintentional cultural faux pas.
What are some hidden gems to explore in the Philippines?
Beyond the well-known destinations, consider exploring the less-visited islands like Siargao, known for its surfing, or the stunning beaches of Siquijor. The Hundred Islands National Park in Pangasinan offers beautiful lagoons and caves. For a unique experience, visit the underground river in Palawan.
