2024 Bataan Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in November)

Hotel de Oriente

We all know that the grand dame of hotels in Manila is the venerable Manila Hotel that overlooks the bay and the Luneta. So much of our city’s history has involved this once staid and resplendent landmark that we may forget that at one time, there was another first class hotel that was the only one considered quite elegant enough to attract foreign tourists arriving in Manila as well as being linked with its own history. The Hotel de Oriente was built in 1889 by Don Manuel Perez Marqueti, the father of Luis Perez Samanillo, owner of the Perez Samanillo building in Escolta. It was a first class hotel and indeed, at one time was the only one in the entire archipelago. Don Perez Marqueti selected the site in Binondo at the Plaza Calderon de la Barca (now Plaza Lorenzo Ruiz) next to the La Insular Cigarette and Cigar Factory. Its location was quite convenient, just a few blocks off the docks of the Pasig, next to the Chinese retail businesses and close to the busy Escolta shopping district, as well as the old walled city of Intramuros. The Spanish architect Juan Jose Huervas y Arizmendi, who also designed the La Insular building, was commissioned to design the hotel at a cost of $100,000. It had three floors with 83 rooms, stables for 25 horses, an attic, and a broad entrance floored and roofed in red clay tiles. It was an elegant building with seven bays along its front. On the ground floor was a narrow arcade with Moorish arches, with the arch on the central bay rising to the top of the second floor. The windows and ventanillas on the lower floor were protected by iron grilles. There were windows also on the entresuelo (mezzanine). The windows on the upper floor had sliding glass shutters and ventanillas with iron grilles. #scenicspotguide #travelinspiration #luxuryhotel #decembertravel #unforgettableexperiences #urbanexplorer

Getting a good tan

Isn't nice to have a weekend getaway to relax for a while? I got lucky to let my stress out a bit for a weekend.Just a two-hour ferry from Manila to the southernmost tip of Bataan Peninsula, you will reach Camaya Coast Beach Resort. The resort welcomes you a fine sand to get a good tan. Adults will definitely enjoy kayaking here. It is also a great place for family picnics as the resort offers many tables under coconut trees.Children would definitely love to spend their relaxation on the kiddies pool. For those who wish to see the beautiful sunset, you can stay overnight. Shuttles would give you a ride to roam around inside the resort.The entire surrounding of the resort maintained its cleanliness.This place is really ideal for family getaways as well as a day tour from the busy metropolis of Manila. Check it out too. #summervacation #beachvacation #urbanexplorer

My family had a quick summer getaway about an hour and half drive from my hometown in Pampanga. Vista Tala Resort got popular in Bataan for its amazing infinity pool facing a nice mountain view. #merrychristmas #merrychristmas

majority of the lands are used to plant rice, coffee, vegetables, peanut and fruit bearing trees. Cut flowers like aster, chrysanthemum and gerbera are locally cultivated while bamboo and jungle vines can be gathered from Orani’s forestlands. Seafood like milkfish, tilapia, prawns, crabs, mussels and oysters are caught in Orani’s fishing grounds and fishponds. Given those products, I can say that Orani is perfect place for Farm and Ecotourism. #givethanks #givethanks

Its diverse habitat is home to spectacular wildlife including wild boars, giant fruit bats, civet cats, and pygmy woodpeckers. Look up, and one may see eagles floating like a kite or diving for its prey. On the slopes and ravines around the resort are thousands of coffee, coconut, jackfruit, lanzones, guyabano and rambutan trees. The Sinagtala Resort is also the perfect venue for weddings, retreats, family outings and corporate seminars & team-building with ample grounds, a chapel, conference facilities and overnight accommodations. #givethanks #givethanks
