The Upscale Hotel of the North

On our second day in Ilocos, we visited the 5-star deluxe hotel of the North, Fort Ilocandia. According to their website "The only 5-star deluxe resort hotel in northern Philippines sprawling over 77 hectares of land amidst gentle sand dunes and pine forests with a 2km sandy beach facing the South China Sea."

The place is open to tourists who want to take pictures and explore the grounds but, of course, there are certain parts of the place exclusive only to guests of the hotel.

The resort complex also houses a casino, an upscale coffee house named "Cafe Ilocandia", function rooms, and a Golf and Country Club. There are statues, fountains, and endless grand staircases everywhere. On the walls are pictures and memorabilia of the late former president Ferdinand Marcos.

The place looks very grand and beautiful but I guess, I couldn't fully appreciate it because I was not a guest. If you're interested, you can visit their website here
