Every time we go home to Philippines, we make sure we visit Hubby's Grandma (she is 93 years old) and Aunt in Ilocos Sur. Due to time constraints, we were able to stay only for a night but we are glad to be able to have spent some time with his side of the family.
We stayed at our favorite hotel in Vigan, Hotel Luna (which I blogged about here). I am so happy to see that nothing has changed in their impeccable service. Everyone. . . like EVERYONE (I swear) was so courteous and helpful.
Business must have been good since the last time we came because the hotel has built an Annex which has 17 rooms. I am just not sure if the main hotel takes care of reservations for both hotel or each property handles its own reservations. If you do an online booking with third party vendors (e.g., Agoda, Expedia), the Annex is listed as Hotel Luna Annex. By the way, they apply the Senior Citizen Discount only when the booking is made directly with the hotel.
For Dinner, Hubby and I were able to go on a "date" because the kids (and my Aunt) had dinner at the room. (Thanks to McDonald's! Haha)
If I wasn't too tired from the 6 hr trip (I drove! Yep, moi!), a walk around the Plaza or in Calle Crisologo would have been nice but dinner in an air-conditioned place where you just have to take an elevator sounded more appealing to me that time, haha! And I heard from my sister that the dinner buffet in Comedor (the hotel's restaurant) is good. Unfortunately, there wasn't a buffet that night (I think buffet nights are only on weekends).
At any rate, we were happy with what we ordered. By the way, the restaurant's ala carte menu has a wide array of choices.
We ordered Pinakbet Paella which was good. It has Vigan longganisa, bagnet, salted eggs and veggies as toppings. It was a meal in itself! The only thing I was missing is the soccarat (sosyal name for "tutong", haha).
And we also tried their Dinakdakan (an Ilocano dish which is similar to sisig). I don't eat Dinakdakan because it usually has pig's brain mixed into it to make it creamy. I enjoyed this version because it is like the standard sisig.
The hotel also has a good breakfast buffet, something I look forward to whenever we stay in this hotel, haha.
If you need a place to stay in Vigan, I highly recommend Hotel Luna for a comfortable stay, yummy food and excellent service from the staff!
