Best Hotels in Santa Catalina, Philippines

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.

The RedDoorz @ Ola Vida Casa Rental Ilocos Sur is one of the newest hotels in Santa Catalina, having opened in 2023.Seeing Santa Catalina's sights from this hotel is easy with Baluarte Resort and Mini Zoo, Hidden Garden and Plaza Burgos all close by.At the end of a busy day, travelers can unwind and relax in the hotel or go out and enjoy the city.

Deomar is a definitely a good find. Price is really reasonable (though website price is not updated and I had to add a few bucks upon check in, which is negligible). Location is very good, which is just biking distance to the Heritage village, and yes, they lend visitors bikes free of use. The hotel is very comfortable and clean, and notably quiet and relaxing. Staff are very nice and accomodating, too. Its a high five!

The place is dreamy. Great ambiance day and night. We enjoyed our stay, especially because we booked during the off season,so we had the whole house to ourselves. Great for fam/friends, couples and solo travellers.

Me and a friend stayed there for one day and we thought we wont need to buy a toothpaste and soap but we had to coz they only provided one tiny toothpaste and one tiny tube of 3 in 1 shampoo/soap/conditioner. Not enough for two persons who will take a bath twice a day and brush their teeth twice also. Their blanket is small also for two thin body adults. Its like their blanket is only for 1 person same with their toothpaste and 3in1 soap. If you want another blanket you have to pay

Hotel is pretty ok

One of 3 hotels in Vigan that was recommended by family members, this was the only one that had availability. So we hoped/prayed it would be decent. Upon arrival, we were disappointed with its distance in proximity to the town center. Its grounds and curb appeal did not resemble its online appearance. We received a warm and friendly greeting and had much needed help with our bags as there were no elevators. Our standard double was very small; we moved to another room because the a/c was not very good. Our 2nd room a/c was very good, but had a musty smell. There are no in-room safes, refrigerator or ice machines. They prolly need to do a room inspection before releasing room because I had to call down for TP & towels. You should upgrade to include wash cloths, bedside lamps that works, a better wall mirror and bathroom fixtures that are not rusty. My kid's first standard twin room was unacceptable because it was dirty and had no toilet seat. They were moved to a standard triple, but I requested another move because we needed stronger WiFi for remote work. Their third room, the following day, was much better. There is a restaurant on site that is limited in menu options and availability. We appreciated the filtered water cooler availability. Overall, the staff was patient, kind and very accommodating. They did try very hard to make sure we were comfortable and addressed our concerns. Shout out to Rush, who is awesome and the reason I increased my review from 1 to 3 stars It is because of Rush and the staff that I do recommend Hotel Metro Vigan to anyone who can overlook my concerns that I mentioned and doesn't require a safe, and/or additional hotel amenities.
