Fort Ilocandia

For some reason, vacationing in the Ilocandias is more expensive than in the more popular Cebu, Davao, Palawan.
Check out the newspapers and you'll see that travel agencies ask for more given a 3-day, 2-night arrangement.
So if you're really going to spend anyway.... JUST GO ALL THE WAY!


Fort Ilocandia is the only 5-star hotel in the region.

Translation: it is uber comfortable.

It will make you feel like you're on a pristine island, detached from all civilization.

Translation: WIFI technology has not yet arrived here.

Note, however, that I recommend you book through your trusted travel agent instead
of walking-in or emailing. Somebody once booked a room and heard a
quotation of Php9,600.+++... and then seeing the very same room on
the updated precisionrates.com for only US$64.

When Somebody inquired via email, Fort Ilocandia reps confirmed
the validity of precisionrates.com, then asked, "Are you a travel agent?"

Translation: the place is great, but the workers may annoy you somewhat.
Have a great time anyway (wear earplugs.)
