Best Resorts In Albay, Philippines
Living in a tropical country where the heat is always unpredictable (even in the supposed-to-be cold ‘ber months) could make you wish for a big backyard pool you can always have the freedom to plunge into.
But most of us don’t have the luxury to make that backyard pool happen. Our imagination allows us, but our budget can’t. Good thing resorts can be easily found everywhere. If you’re taking a vacation, you can always visit affordable yet fantastic resorts in Albay.
Visiting Albay for the first time? Apart from the list of Top Hotels in Albay, here’s a list of some most recommended resorts in the province.
