Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar: a trip back in time


This is one awesome place in Bagac, Bataan that I want to visit this summer so I booked right away via Asiatravel's Citibank promo. We got 3 deluxe rooms at 3k each payable in 6mos. Nice noh! We just added one bed per room since we're composed of 9 adults. Cost is 950 each for a Sunday rate. We just settled it sa hotel na prior to check in. This rate doesnt include breakfast.

From Mt Samat, it took us another half hour going to Las Casas. We were greeted by the guardia sibil as we enter the gate. They asked for our headcount and the name of the registered guest. Then after they noted the front desk about us, they let us in.

Kalesa ride costs P50/head (kala ko free haha!)
We went directly to their reception area at Casa Mexico for check in. Since it is too early for check in, we had lunch first at Casa Unisan. We were given welcome drinks and I asked them to serve it where we'll lunch since antagal before they serve it sa reception area.

Warning: There are no airconditioned common area here so better bring a fan and umbrella in case you'll just do day trip.

We had lunch at the 2nd floor of Casa Unisan. I don't know if this is part of Cafe Marivent also which is on the 1st floor of Casa Unisan.

After lunch, we headed back to the reception area for our keys. Vehicles are allowed only up to the reception area. They transport your things to the hotel rooms at Paseo de Escolta using a cart.

We asked to have an adjacent rooms, unfortunately one of our rooms was situated on the other side before the tiendesitas. But we can see them from our veranda. So if you will have 4 rooms, better ask them to give you one door of the paseo wherein it houses 4 rooms, 2 rooms on the 2nd floor then another 2 on the 3rd.




And here's the view from our room:

CONS:

PESO POWER: swakto!
