After visiting Clark and Comercio central. We also went to Balanga which is only just 1 hour away. We wanted to explore more of Bataan like Las Casas Filipinas, Vista Tala and more. We stayed in The Plaza in Balanga. Super loved the location. The fountain and the design was so good. We even went ukay-ukay shopping just the night before but there’s a market and everything else that’s just walking distance.
The Plaza Hotel in Balanga City is definitely a stand out building from all the other infrastructure that surrounds it. It has a design which is inspired by the Spanish colonial architecture. The outside of the hotel itself is very picturesque and mesmerizing, and makes you feel as if you’ve travelled back in time to the colonial era. Other than the great design of the outside as well as the classy interior of the hotel, however, there are a lot more reasons why you might want to consider booking at the Plaza Hotel in Balanga City.

this hotel looks inviting. I havent really explored Bataan, i remember I’ve been there when I was very young. It will be interesting to visit someday (also to experience the same hospitality).
Wow! The area looks like you’re somewhere in Central America than Philippines! I haven’t been to Bataan so I didn’t have an idea that they managed to maintain those Spanish influences when it comes to architecture. Awesome review girl! Good service from the staff is always my top requirement.
