Philippine Touring From The Beginning
I’ve decided that in general on Tuesdays I am going to write more about “going around” to different places in the Philippines. They won’t always be monumental trips but I do move about the country and the Unofficial Cook reminded me the other day that except for our lovely but too short jaunt to Macau [...]
Castle Peak Hotel, Cebu City
Castle Peak Hotel, Cebu, Philippines.
Here’s an interesting, well-recommended destination location I came across recently. Please note that this particular property is not one that I have stayed at, yet, but several trustworthy friends have. I thought it was well worth featuring because so many hotels and resorts don’t bother to have a website, especially with [...]
Mountain Woods Resort Hotel, Subic Bay
This is a hotel which shows up frequently on listings for Subic. Have I stayed there? No, and I’ll tell you why.
I went to check this place out and I found the locations is quite remote from any of the ‘fun’ things on Subic. It is a refurbished navy billeting (what they call Navy Lodge’s [...]

Bayfront Hotel
The Bayfront Hotel in the Boardwalk area of the Subic Bay Freeport is a place I have stayed several times. (The hotel also lists themselves as being in Olongapo City, which is partially correct, the Subic Bay Metro Freeport area is actually carved out of Olongapo, but the hotel is inside the gates and security [...]
We R Inn Hotel
<< Note: See updated contact information at the end of this article >>
On my last visit to Davao City I stayed at the We R Inn Hotel on JP Laurel Avenue, Bajada, Davao City. This is a moderate-priced hotel that is a pretty good bargain for the money. I had a mid-priced air conditioned room, [...]
Whatever Happened to Subic? — Report 2
Recently I went to the visit the Subic Bay Metro Area, one of the common names for the former US Navy base on Subic Bay, Olongapo City. I was favorably impressed. One of the things that occurs when peace breaks out is that governments close bases and this has been a major problem for [...]
