Coco Grande Hotel

Dumaguete


One of the city's most professionally run hotels with long years of experience helping travellers arrange travel plans. The Spanish Mission decor adds some style to fairly spacious rooms. There's a pleasant alcove for breakfast and the on-site staff will sort out trips to Siquijor and Apo Island – the Australian owner has recommended hotels on both.
