Let me first qualify that I've traveled to over 60 countries and stayed in many types of accomodations from pousadas in Paraguay and Argentina, Casa Particulares in Havanna, to the Ritz in Paris and there are only a handful of unique memorable lodging I've stayed at in the Philippines. One is the Enigmata Tree House in Camiguin Island which I... More

We only stayed here for an overnight stay and had an early check out since we will be travelling to Pagudpod. I had read reviews of the accommodations right after I knew where we'll stay during our Ilocos tour, and Balay da Blas is one of them. Mixed reviews of negative and positive but after staying there, I preferred to... More

We stayed in Balay da Blas when he had our 3D/2N trip. At first, when our organizer (a co-worker) said this is where we will stay for our Laoag-Vigan-Pagudpud, I am excited to check out their website. You can choose between a traditional style or modern style (tight-budget) rooms. We are 14, so some were reserved to a family room... More

Balay de Blas could easily be your home away from home in Ilocos. We stayed in Balay de Blas I's Deluxe Suite for 2 days. We were surprised when we saw the 'room' because it was more like a small house. It has one bedroom, living room, bathroom, dining area and kitchen. Inspite of the heat, the room is surprisingly...

Balay da Blas was worth every cent we spent on this Pensionne House. My family and I loved the place, the food, and our overall stay. If there was a con, I'd say that it just doesn't make much of a first impression. The hotel is a bit off the main road and going to their address would make you... More

Although our stay was quick, we were all taken aback by the simple, yet elegant ambiance of Spanish Ilocandia. It has a warm and charming atmosphere. The look and feel of his place is more of a home, rather than a hotel. And with fantastic food to match with its cheap prices, I wouldnt want to stay elsewhere
