Hotel Review: Bernardo’s Hotel in Basco Batanes

Bernardo’s Hotel in Basco Batanes

It’s been almost 7 years since the last time I visited Batanes. During our recent visit with PHILTOA members, I noticed several new accommodation options in Batanes.

Bernardo’s Hotel is one of the newer places offering accommodation in Batanes, but it’s already built quite the name for itself. The establishment is currently one of the region’s most active hotels, and its popularity has surged so strongly that you now need to be quite early with your reservations if you want to get in.

Rooms

This is one of the cozier hotels in Batanes that quickly makes you feel right at home. From their spacious rooms (always kept meticulously clean and fresh) to the various extra features like cable TV and great views, there’s pretty much nothing left to be desired from Bernardo’s accommodation quality. The only downside we can think of is that there is no Wi-Fi access within the rooms themselves, but then again, if you’re on holiday, you should tone down your surfing anyway!

Service

When we said you’ll feel right at home at Bernardo’s, we meant that in more ways than the obvious coziness factor. The hotel’s staff have obviously been picked very carefully, as they all worked hard to offer the best service we’ve seen in a while – not just in Batanes and the surrounding regions, but in the entire Philippines in general! If you ever feel that you’re missing anything, all you have to do is mention it to a staff member, and you’ll have the issue addressed in the blink of an eye. Often, you don’t have to mention that you’d like the staff to provide you with anything – simply saying that you’re missing a particular feature is enough of a prompt for them.

Air conditioning is also available in all rooms, and you’ll definitely appreciate it during the hotter periods of your stay. The hotel is also very well maintained, as you won’t notice any nasty build-ups on the air conditioners, a common sight in places with poor maintenance.

Location

The hotel’s location doesn’t shine with anything in particular, although it’s definitely not a wrong spot. You’ll be close to the beach (you can get there on foot in just a few minutes), and the hotel also offers rooftop access with a splendid view of the surrounding area. You may have to walk a bit farther to enjoy a more interesting scenic view, but that’s to be expected anyway.

How about the Food?

Drop by the Casa Napoli nearby for the best Italian dining experience! The place offers a fantastic selection of authentic Italian dishes, from various pasta to every possible pizza recipe. The staff are also very easygoing when accommodating more unusual tastes, so if you have any particular preferences, just let them know, and they’ll sort it out for you. This is the default go-to place for guests of Bernardo’s Hotel, so you’ll likely see some familiar faces here regularly if you make this your main place for grabbing a bite during your stay.
