Positive: The View is amazing! We had a driver Jerome who picked us up in Banaue at 5 in the morning (he even slept in the car so he wouldnt be late) and we drove 1 Hour to Batad. We had to hike down to the actual village for 40 Minutes it was hard but possible. Cristina and her Family are great and very friendly. The rooms are small but big enough and the beds are comfortable. They cook for you at any time and the menu has a great variety of foods to choose from.
