Fernandos Hotel

Top choice in Bicol


Fernandos is the best hotel in town, not least because the friendly owners Cecilia and Angie Duran are a great source of information and provincial tours. The cheaper rooms are small with common bathroom, but above that rooms are spacious and tastefully decorated, with some fronting the brand-new pool. Next to the lobby, the lounge has an occasional resident pianist.
