Heritage Resort of Caoayan Details

Heritage Resort of Caoayan offers visitors budget-friendly accommodations and its geographical closeness to Vigan City. Aside from that, visitors with time to spare can also take a dip in its pools or just relax in its farm-like atmosphere. What I like about the resort is its large rooms. Apart from being wallet-friendly, it could also fit a family of 10 (given that four of them are children). Speaking of large space, the resort also has a large parking space suited for those family road trip convoys. In connection to that, it is also good to know that the resort also has a large pavilion that can be used for weddings, debuts, or birthdays.

However, there are also several things visitors might not like about the resort (which hopefully the management could improve on it someday). Like, the foul odor emanating from the broken drainage system near the parking area. Aside from that, the toilets in each room should have a bidet installed in them and the management should make sure that the showers are all working properly. On a side note, it is also good to know that this resort is located beside the Caoayan Municipal Cemetery (don't worry zombies and ghosts aren't real... maybe...)

    It looks like a hidden gem... You made me google for Vigan City. 😀😀. It should be helpful having the prices also in euros or dollars so that we don't need to see the rates always ✌🏻️
