Albay’s Best Places to Stay

Alas, here is now a final post for my Albay blog installment.  I know you are now wondering where we stayed in this beautiful province.  But let me tell you one very important tip first.  You have to do advance booking because hotels, inns, or guest houses in Albay do really fill up so quickly.  Albay is one of the top destinations for tourists in the Philippines whole year round so you must dial-up earlier before your staycation date to ensure that you’re gonna have a place to stay there.  And what I can recommend are as follows:

 

1.  Coastal View Beach Resort

Coastal View Beach Resort is located at Sto. Domingo, a municipality outskirts of Legazpi City.  But it is not too far from the commercial center of Albay for it is only 15-20 minutes ride.  The coastline of this municipality offers a breathtaking view of the Albay Gulf.  The beach, though black gives you a tranquil experience especially with Mt. Mayon that is just around the corner.

The resort has two swimming pools for the whole family to enjoy.

It has plenty of rooms that can accommodate a whole barangay ranging from standard rooms to executive spacious rooms.

The entire place is also ideal for any social function such as family reunions, weddings, birthdays, seminars, and other party, party, parties.

 

2.  Reynaldo’s Travel Lodge

 

Reynaldo’s Travel Lodge is located at the very heart of Legazpi City proper.  It is the humble home of a lovely couple whose children are all in the States.  Since they have a big place, they decided to compartmentalize it, making rooms for visitors.  It is a very affordable inn that is so homey with a mother’s touch.  Thank you, Tito and Tita for the warm accommodation and for allowing us to invade the rest of your house that the others can’t.  Hehe….That’s the girl power of the beautiful Red Roses! 🙂

However, if you are the high-end type of person, there are also sosy hotels like La Piazza Hotel and Convention Center at the city proper and The Oriental Legazpi which is on top of a hill, overlooking the city.

So, I guess I’m already done filling you up with everything Albay.  Thanks to KathNiel for reminding me of thisunfinished business.  And oh, for something to bring home from the journey, don’t forget to drop by at Albay Pilinut for pili nuts and other Albay sweet delicacies.  And there’s also this tangy native wine, Bignay perfect for any meaty dinner once you get home.
