5 Reasons the Traveloka App is Your Best Friend for a Comfy Baguio Vacation

Leave a Comment

One of my favorite destinations is Baguio, my main reason is I love cool weather, and aside from this there are a lot of places to visit, food to eat and things to do. With so many things to do in Baguio often times first time travelers and even seasoned travelers gets intimidated, especially when looking for a place to stay in the Summer Capital of the Philippines. That is why you should try the Traveloka App on your next visit to Baguio.

I have used the Traveloka App a couple of times already during  my travels and it was really helpful when booking flights and hotels. But let me focus on why it should be one of your apps to install when visiting Baguio.

1. Filter Options for List of Hotels

I am a traveler who prefers to stay near parks since generally parks are more quiet than shopping areas. For practicality, I also prefer staying near shopping areas, not because I like shopping, but because that’s where convenience stores and restaurants are located most of the time.

To filter your results select Baguio City as your place of destination then set the other needed details such as number of nights, persons and rooms then hit search. Once the resulting list comes up press Filter on the bottom right of the screen and you can filter the results as much as you want.

12 Reasons to stay at The Forest Lodge at Camp John Hay, Baguio City

When we were looking for hotels to stay in Baguio City, we wanted to be somewhere slightly away from the City Proper where there were lesser crowds and more trees. This decision might be influenced by the fact that I have been to Baguio around 25 years ago, when there were a lot less people in the city and the view from Mines View Park were purely forests and mountains without a house in sight. I wanted that feeling again and when I was checking out accommodations in Baguio I was looking at hotels in Camp John Hay where there are less concrete structure, more nature and less crowds, and we chose The Forest Lodge first.

Here are some of the reasons why you should consider staying at The Forest Lodge.

  1. Located at Camp John Hay
  2. Clean and Big Rooms
  3. Bathroom and Water Pressure
  4. Generous and Delicious Breakfast
  5. Spacious Hotel Lobby
  6. WiFi Internet, Mobile Signal and Electric Sockets
  7. Near Restaurants and Convenience Stores
  8. Activities inside Camp John Hay
  9. Baguio City Tour from the Forest Lodge
  10. CAP John Hay Trade & Cultural Center
  11. The Golf Club

Review: Red Planet Cagayan de Oro

Leave a Comment

We were looking for a staycation in Cagayan de Oro City since we wanted to be somewhere away from the usual routine but do not want to go far away from Iligan City. When we checked Agoda, Red Planet Cagayan de Oro turned out to be an affordable accommodation that was just walking distance from malls. Very convenient for a staycation and we decided to book our stay there.

Review: Microtel Inn & Suites by Wyndham in Puerto Princesa City, Palawan, Philippines

Leave a Comment

When we were checking for accommodations in Puerto Princesa, one of our criterias was to be near a beach. Preferably beachfront. Another criteria was to be away from the busy buzz of the city but not that far away just in case we wanted to do something in the city. That was when we decided to stay in Microtel Inn & Suites by Wyndham in Puerto Princesa City, Palawan. A bit higher than the usual rates compared to budget hotels and backpacker lodge but definitely worth the price.

On my frequent visits to Puerto Princesa I am always looking for a clean, comfortable and accessible place to stay. Usually, I would go for a budget accommodation that has a lower quality, common CR and only has a fan room, but whenever I have an tiny amount of extra budget I would prefer staying at Go Hotels in Puerto Princesa. A hotel with good quality but does not break the bank.
