Best Vacation Places in Luzon (near manila)?
May 31, 2009 - Posted in manila vacation
Hi Everyone,
Can you please suggest places in Luzon where it's good to stay for vacation?
I'm currently considering Tagaytay as a good one. If so, kindly tell me the best places/hotel to stay at (including rates if you can remember!
Also, of course it's better if you can tell me if it's OK to go there even if it's cloudy/raining, or just during summer time so we can consider those things!
Thank you so much!
there are a lot of things to do in the Philippines!!!
there's BORACAY:
you can do water sports with the kids, flyfish, parasailing, banana boat, etc, have a massage by the beach, eat great food, enjoy the view..

tagatay = hotel vista is one of the nicest hotel there but if we're talking about the budget you can also stay at kenny poe… there's alot of motel along the way.
laguna = pagsanjan falls, for nature lovers.
batangas = virgin beach resort (that's my next destination)
olonggapo city = subic bay (white rock beach resort) they have hotel packages.
cavite city = island cove beach resort (butterfly farm,fishing village,bar,pool,hotel and restaurant)

With the new SCTex open along with the improvements in the NCLEX, the Subic-Clark area is a very good choice. subic bay area has great water sports and jungle activities with a wide variety of nightlife,it also has a good range of hotels and resorts. Clark has more upscale resorts, golf courses and a number of casinos. travel time to Clark about an hour, another 40 minutes to subic.
