Best Santa Catalina Spa Hotels

The best thing about the hotel is its serenity and long distance from the bustle of the nearby Vigan. The staff are courteous, always wearing smile, and helpful. The plated breakfast is fine. You can see the nearby beach from where the restaurant is. But when I was there, the alfresco rooftop area was closed. It is not the nearest hotel to the beach. You have to walk for 10minutes to get to the beach. The plus point is its hotel. It’s located adjacent to the house of the owner but the staff explained to me that it’s fine to use it because it’s one of the amenities of the hotel. The downside is the transportation from Vigan. If you do not have a car, you are left with the tricycles. The drivers are not the most honest about the fare. When you ask them, they will tell you as low as 100pesos to as high as 150pesos. So be mindful. Better ask the driver before you take the ride. I can recommend it to friends and families with cars but not fellow backpackers and solo travelers without a car.
