Hotel in the Philippines
With the intention of making it very easy for you to find where to sleep in the Philippines, we show you the best options in two different and super intuitive ways. The first is this map of the Philippines where you can see, at once, all the hotels that we recommend on the web. If you have already been researching the country and some destinations ring a bell, it will help you easily visualize where each one is located. You will see that we have distinguished, using different icons, between luxury hotels, resorts or cheap accommodation in the Philippines.

Why book hotel in the Philippines in advance?

What we do is compare the different prices that are in them and, very important, read the recent reviews that other travelers have left. In this way we more or less make sure that we are going to be comfortable. Even so, the sites that we recommend in Traveling through the Philippines, since we take care of testing them and making sure they are good, will surely convince you. Therefore, below you will find a list of accommodation in the Philippines ordered by the most popular destinations.

For all these reasons, our recommendation is that you book your hotel in the Philippines well in advance, especially if you are thinking of traveling on dates with high demand. These are Easter, Chinese New Year, Christmas and local holidays. In addition, there are destinations such as El Nido, Coron or Siargao that are so popular almost at any time of the year that, if you do not want to stay with the worst and pay more than the bill, it is better to book at least one month before.
We advise you to always look at the cancellation policies of the accommodations. This is becoming more and more common, which is why most of the hotels in the Philippines already offer free cancellation. It is common that this can be done about 48 hours before your arrival at the accommodation, but you will have to look at it on a case-by-case basis.

Quick Travel guide to the Phillippines

Some tips to enjoy your travel to this amazing destination and how to choose your Hotel.

Visa for the Philippines

The visa to travel to the Philippines is an important issue when preparing your adventure, and for this reason it could not be missing from this complete guide to the Philippines. In the event that your stay in the country is less than 30 days, you should not worry at all, as we told you in the article on the Visa for the Philippines, because once you land in the Philippines, your passport will be stamped so that you can stay for 30 days. The cost of this visa is free.
If you plan to stay a longer season exploring the country, you will need to carry out the extension of the visa for the Philippines. There are different ways to get it. From Spain it is possible to do it and thus forget about having to look for immigration offices in the middle of the trip. The 3-month, single-entry visa costs €27, the 6-month visa costs €54, and the 1-year visa costs €81. Doing the visa extension directly in the Philippines is slightly more expensive but, unlike in Spain, where you will need more than one visit to the office, in the Philippines you will only have to go through it once and you will have it resolved in less than half an hour.
Also, if the idea of ​​extending your stay is something that you already have in mind when you land in the country, you can apply for the Philippines visa extension at the airport itself before collecting your luggage. In this case you will have to pay 3,130 pesos for 59 days.

Who can travel to the Philippines now as a tourist?
Travelers vaccinated with the complete schedule (14 days must have passed since the last dose) and present a negative PCR performed within 48 hours of departure or an antigen test within the previous 24 hours. From May 30, those who have the booster dose will not even have to be tested. As before, it will also be necessary to have a passport with a minimum validity of 6 months and to have an exit ticket from the Philippines. 
What does all this mean? We explain it to you in the following points.
1. What does vaccinated travelers mean for the Philippines? What vaccines do you accept?
You have been vaccinated with 2 doses of one of the vaccines that require 2 for the full schedule and two or more weeks have passed since the last dose. 
Has been vaccinated with 1 dose for single-dose vaccines (Janssen) and at least 2 weeks have passed since inoculation.
The Philippines accepts vaccines approved for emergency use by the World Health Organization (you can see the list here) and those from the FDA (you can see them at this link). 
Children under 12 years of age do not have to be vaccinated. They will follow the protocols of their parents.
What type of vaccination certificate does the Philippines accept?
The WHO certificate (the little yellow book).
The VaxCertPH, that is, the Philippines vaccination certificate.
Vaccination certificates from national governments.

 The weather in the Philippines. What is the best season to travel?

This is one of the questions that you usually ask us the most. As it is a country with a tropical climate, there is a very correct guideline response, but it can never be considered exact. The best time to travel to the Philippines in terms of weather is from December to May, when the dry season takes place in most of the archipelago. This means that the probability of rain is much lower in areas such as Palawan, Visayas or Luzon, but in no case does it guarantee that a downpour will not fall at some point.
The rainy season in the Philippines takes place between June and November in most of the country. This increases the probability of showers and the appearance of typhoons, but is fully compatible with moments of sun and beach. As you can see, the weather in the Philippines is largely a matter of chance. You should also keep in mind that, being such a large country and with such distant areas, there are places with different microclimates. In Siargao, for example, it is usually the dry season in the months of July and August, when it rains in much of the country.
A very useful way to find out what the weather is like in the Philippines is by consulting the official PAGASA government website or its Facebook page, where the weather situation in each area of ​​the country is continuously updated.

What language is spoken in the Philippines
More than 170 languages ​​are spoken in the Philippines, but there are only two official languages: Filipino and English. Yes, you read correctly, English is the official language in the Philippines and, thanks to this, the vast majority of Filipinos speak it perfectly. Do not worry if you do not speak English, that is not an impediment to travel to the Philippines, as they are a very friendly people and, even if it is based on signs or using translation apps, you will not have a problem.
Spanish is hardly spoken in the Philippines anymore. Only some older people remember something from when they studied it in school, but something that will surely surprise you when traveling through the Philippines is that many of the words they use are a legacy of 300 years of Spanish colonialism. Therefore, if you decide to travel to the Philippines, you will frequently hear “fork”, “spoon”, “table”, “chair” or “handsome”. Also, many of the numbers are exactly the same as ours. Many times you will meet Filipinos who are unaware that these words come from Spanish and will be shocked if they see you start counting “one, two, three, four, five…” in what they think is just their language.
