Our Bicol adventure wasn't planned so we didn't know what to expect along the way. We left Manila around 1pm hoping to reach CWC around 8pm. Unfortunately, we reached Naga around 2am due to heavy rain and road constructions along the stretch of Quezon province and Bicol. Along the roads, we've spotted many inns but I just couldn't say yes to any of them. I knew that John was so tired from driving so when we saw Flamingo Hotel on the right side of the road, I went down and quickly checked the rates and the available rooms.||I booked the cheapest, DLuxe Single for P1,350, since we will only be staying for 5 hours. The first thing I asked is for is an electric kettle. They didn't have but they were kind enough to let us borrow their kitchen thermos so we can have our own coffee in the room and the kids can drink their hot Swiss Miss. My favorite part of the house and in hotels, the bathroom. Flamingo's bathroom didn't pass my standards but at least they have hot and cold shower. They also provided 2 toothbrush with 2 sachets of toothpaste (good for 2 use only), 2 very thin soap (good for at least four use) and two towels. There are Few exercise machines are available under the stairs that my kids enjoyed while waiting for our breakfast. There's a certain kind of old smell in this place but all in all Flamingo Hotel is clean, except that they're doing a renovation in front so it's a bit dusty on the parking area up to the main door. Flamingo Hotel is an ideal spot for families like us who just needed a place to doze off for a while. We spent P3,300 for the accommodation and the food. ||||Their other services include 24hr room service, restaurant, free wi-fi, daily newspaper, laundry, free parking, meeting facilities.||||Contact Information||||Address : Maharlika Highway, Concepcion Pequena, Naga City, Cam Sur||Email : flamingonaga@yahoo.com||Phone :...

Unfortunately, my wife discovered that the shower had malfunctioned. A call to management and someone was sent to rectify the problem . Since it was going to take a little time they upgraded us to a larger room and transferred us immediately.||The room was large and comfortable we got a couple of hours sleep when we were woken by the ferocity of Typhoon Nina. As my wife had never experienced a bad storm in her life she wanted to go downstairs to " where there were more people " ||On reaching the ground floor we were confronted by water. The glass doors at the front had been blown in & the dining room demolished.||We offered to help with the cleanup but the staff would have none of that they made us Coffee and sent us off to bed.||In the cold light of morning the damage everywhere was incredible but apart from the front dining room, The hotel remained intact. the staff was fabulous under the circumstances. breakfast was a little late but a good buffet breakfast was served for all the guests. ||If I'm ever back in Naga city Again I'll stay at...
Read moreAs a first time solo backpacker traveling to the Philippines I was keen to book decent accommodation for my first night in the country. I booked a double room for £20. (I soon realised that this was quite expensive for the location) ||None the less I emailed the hostel for advice on transport from Naga city airport to the hostel itself of which I received a speedy reply stating that they will provide a free shuttle service. This worked out perfectly as the mini van was waiting as my plane landed. |Clean hotel with decent Wifi, air con room and breakfast included. ||Only 10 minute drive from the airport and a few minuet tricycle ride from the...
