Camp Alfredo

Top choice in Panay


Midway between San Miguel and Nueva Valencia, this nature resort is superbly done. Set in an attractive forest with concrete pathways and a running stream, it offers a beautiful open-air dining pavilion, and an even more beautiful horizon pool that can easily capture your entire day. If not, there's always the 325m zip-line course (P425 for visitors).

The modular cottages aren't luxurious, but are inexpensive and do fit the site. Only 30 minutes from Jordan Wharf, this is the perfect green escape from Iloilo.
