I like this place and it's my first time to go in FIR but the location from Manila to the Northern Luzon was kinda tiring if you were going to take the bus but it would be better if you go by plane the travel would only tqake 30 to 45 minutes. The ambiance of the place was definitely great and atmosphere too and the service they have given to ...
Like others have said Filipinos aren't always treated very well. My now wife and I pulled up in a tricycle at 11pm. They weren't even going to let us in the gate until I stuck my white head out. They overcharged us for the room but I was so tired I didn't care.
The staff was rather cold. The food wasn't very good (I got sick ...

Awesome resort to escape to
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 01/27/07
I've traveled all over: Europe, Caribbean, Canada, Puerto Rico, Mexico, US Virgin Islands & other states of US (including Hawaii); definitely Fort Ilocandia is world class resort. I loved it! It's in great location (facing China Sea), peaceful ambiance (with Spanish influenced exterior) and many choices of things to do within the ...

It's very nice but.....
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 01/25/07
We stayed here from 12/19-24, 2006.
The shuttle service from the airport (they will pick you up from Laoag Int'l Airport) is excellent. Check in is good. Room is good. Bathroom is clean and there is enough room to move around. The bathtub is slippery. My daughter slipped while taking a shower and had to request a mat. There is hot ...

By A Yahoo! Contributor, 04/08/06

Another Era?
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 11/30/05
Fort Ilocandia resort was apparently built by/for the Marcos family (certainly in their era)and the support for the regime in the area is quite apparent from all the photos adorning the common areas of the hotel(Pres Marcos with Pres Reagan etc. etc.)
It is an easy 15 minute trip from the airport which, although very basic, provides quick ...

Golf trip to Laoag
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 11/27/05
We stayed in November 2005.It was very easy for us to get there from Hong Kong with CR airways. The airport is small but we were processed quickly and in the hotel within around 30 minutes of landing. The hotel is from the Marcos era but is well kept on a very large piece of land. Its on the seafront but the beach is not immediately in front of the ...

very entertaining and relaxing
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 11/07/05
What I like about Fort Ilocandia is the location,scenery,beach side front view and among other things. Service is ok, very profesional staff. One thing that bother me or question in my mind is,why the wall placed facing the beach area, its destructing the scenery!! The place is beautiful, I'm planning to take another trip this coming year.
