What to Expect at Major Philippines Holidays 2026
The Philippines: a cruise around the stunning islands of Palawan ...
April 2-3: Holy Week (Maundy Thursday & Good Friday)
The most solemn period in the Philippines, Holy Week is a deeply Catholic tradition with nationwide observance.
What to Do:
- Witness the dramatic processions in towns like Antipolo or Vigan, where devotees carry life-sized crosses
- Visit churches for the traditional "Seven Last Words" services
- In some provinces, watch the reenactment of the Passion of Christ (though photography is often discouraged)
Travel Tips:
- Book accommodations early - popular pilgrimage sites fill up fast
- Stock up on food - most restaurants and shops close completely on Good Friday
- Plan transportation carefully - public transport runs on reduced schedules
- Respect local customs - this is a time of deep religious reflection, so dress modestly and avoid loud behavior
June 12: Independence Day
Commemorating freedom from Spanish rule in 1898, Independence Day is a vibrant display of Filipino patriotism.
What to Do:
- Attend the flag-raising ceremony at Rizal Park in Manila, followed by the presidential speech
- Watch the colorful parades featuring marching bands and cultural performances from different regions
- Visit museums like the National Museum or Rizal Shrine for historical exhibits
Travel Tips:
- Arrive early for the Rizal Park ceremony (it starts at 7:00 AM)
- Roads around government buildings close early, so use public transport
- Many malls host Independence Day sales - a great time for shopping
December 24-25: Christmas Season
The Philippines celebrates one of the world's longest Christmas seasons (starting as early as September!), with Christmas Eve and Day being the pinnacle.
What to Do:
- Experience "Simbang Gabi" (Misa de Gallo) - nine consecutive dawn masses starting December 16
- Join the Noche Buena feast on Christmas Eve (traditional dishes include lechon, ham, and bibingka)
- Visit Christmas light displays in neighborhoods like Ayala Triangle Gardens or San Fernando (Pampanga)
Travel Tips:
- Book flights/hotels 3-6 months in advance - prices surge during December
- Public transportation becomes chaotic - consider hiring a private car or using ride-hailing apps
- Most businesses close early on Christmas Eve and remain closed on Christmas Day, so plan meals accordingly

Our experience at the new coast hotel:
The staff was super friendly and helpful
The room was clean. House keeping provided the supplies on time.
The breakfest was good with a range of foods to select
And it is near the bay area, which has the ocean park
Check in and out was quick
Dislikes
The construction woke me up and didn't let me sleep
The view from my room was a construction site picture attached
Every time we entered, we were searched and walked through a scanner
I hope this review helps. All in all, we have a pleasant stay at the hotel. I hope the renovation are over soon.FromCAD 108

Manila Bay Manila|3.27km from city center
While the breakfast buffet was a notable highlight with its quality and variety, my overall stay was significantly hampered by procedural and service-related friction points.
Parking: A Major Inconvenience
The process for securing complimentary parking is excessively complicated and needs to be streamlined. For a 5-night stay, having to follow these steps every single day was truly exhausting and time-consuming:
Validate the ticket at the Front Desk for complimentary status.
Go to the Parking Cashier for a zero-value receipt.
Surrender this receipt at the parking exit.
This multi-step, daily requirement detracts significantly from the convenience expected of a hotel in this category, and I urge management to simplify it for long-term guests.
Front Desk & Check-In Issues
Service at the Front Desk also presented some challenges:
The check-in process was not smooth and took longer than expected.
I often had to wait for an extended period for the front desk to answer my phone calls, which was frustrating when trying to resolve issues or make simple requests.
Value for Money
The breakfast buffet, while excellent, is priced quite high, making it feel less like a value-add and more like an excessive cost for those paying in addition to their room rate.
Overall: The quality of the breakfast is great, but the cumbersome parking procedure and the inconsistent front desk service created daily friction that significantly impacted the overall comfort and convenience of my extended stay.FromCAD 186

Well located hotel, at walking distance from historical downtown - where most of touristic spots could be found, the venue looks as something with a great past. With some refurbishing, renovation, it could also have a great future. Staff is helpfull, they compensate the issues the hotel encounters. Good breakfast, various products to choose from. Small open air pool but sufficient to enjoy during hot wheather (we never used during our stay as was raining too much). Rooms need to be refurbished, many things need to be improvedFromCAD 54

This was my third stay at The Bayview, and once again it didn’t disappoint. My room on the 11th floor offered a breathtaking view of the sunrise and sunset—truly the highlight of my stay. The Christmas decorations around the property added a beautiful, festive atmosphere. The room itself was spacious and comfortable, and breakfast featured delicious Filipino food along with great coffee. Transportation was easy, as taxis and Grab rides were readily available after checkout. The guard and hotel staff were consistently friendly and helpful. Another wonderful stay!❤️💪FromCAD 53

Malate Manila|4.71km from city center
Location - few walks away from DLSU, St. Scholastica and Benilde. Also few walk away from LRT stations and Bus Stations so quite accessible. If your are foreign tourists, expect some noise and dirty manila surroundings when you go out of the hotel facility.
Service - Staff and crew are very pleasant starting with the security guards and attendants upon the entering the hotel facility. The check in procedures are smooth and the receptionist during that time is very accommodating and nice.
Facilities - The building is kinda ”old” and it is very evident with the elevators and the lobby. Upon entering the room, I noticed it was very clean and the CR is very clean and dry as well. However, you can really notice that everything is old although it can add ”charm” to the ambiance of the hotel because well, it can be like that. Other that that, everything is nice, the beds are big and the pillows and comforters were, well, seems clean naman. All rooms have their own balcony however, for security purposes, doors are locked but you have a good view pa din naman, which is sa room ko, the Manila skyline and the pool. I think the worst part lang is the smell of the room. Not stinky naman or whatever but I am not sure if because the building is old or whatever but there's really a weird smell na hindi nakaka ”clean” smell, not sure if coming from the old aircon or whatever. Yun lang ata ang downfall, the old vibe of the room is okay but the smell, hhmmm, not sure.
There's a pool area as well and a jacuzzi, which I was able to try and it's really nice.
Food - My stay came with a breakfast buffet. The restaurant is sooo nice, again, the old vibes kinda add with the ambiance. The staff are well trained as well so they're accommodating and pleasant. As for the food selection, I guess it's the normal food selection for a hotel. There's the usual morning breakfast, pastries, juices and all. With the price you paid, I think it's okay.
In general, my stay was nice and I can really say that the biggest assets of hotels like CPH are their staff and crews because how they treat and accommodate their guests will have a great impact with the stay.FromCAD 77

The room is clean but this is only the hotel that is no amenities in the room for the price of 2000 above which i think the room should have at least the basic amenities for the guest and you can see the they sell the kit in the receptionist area.FromCAD 45

The hotel's location is fairly convenient, about a 10-minute walk to the subway station, and there are convenience stores nearby, generally meeting daily travel and shopping needs. However, the room facilities are a bit old, the air conditioning isn't very effective, and the noise is quite noticeable, affecting nighttime rest. The overall cleanliness is acceptable, but there were some minor stains in the bathroom corners that weren't cleaned. The service attitude was average; it took nearly half an hour to get an extra pillow when requested. Overall, it meets the basic standard for this price point, but there's room for improvement in the details.FromCAD 31

I was honestly hesitant to book at first because some of the reviews made me anxious about the cleanliness and service. But after staying for three nights, I’m so glad we gave it a chance. The room we stayed in was clean, cozy, well-kept and definitely exceeded my expectations. The staff were warm, helpful, and very accommodating. They even allowed us to print our visas at the reception, which was a thoughtful gesture we truly appreciated.
What also stood out was the beautiful ambiance of the hotel. The lobby and foyer were absolutely breathtaking, spacious, elegant, and welcoming.

I will not stay in JMM again. The room interior is old, many paints are old and dirted. And many furnitures are scratched and not managed well. The microwave oven was malfunctioning. And there was a storm and some water dropped from the windows.
The worst thing was I lost the security card(for the main gate at the ground floor) and door lock key. They charged 2000p for those. 1000p for each. The funny thing is the security key costs 300p by the condo but they asked me to pay 1000p for it also. I protested the front and the answer was it is the hotel's policy and she discussed it with her manager also and she is just an employee.
I traveled so many hotels in the world. If I lost a key card, usually they just reissue it. Even if it is a budget hotel, 1000p for a key card is absurd.
The hotel room cost was 44 usd, but I had to pay about 35 usd for losing two keys.FromCAD 44

I had a great stay at Hotel Benilde. The location is very accessible, making it easy to get around the area. The staff were exceptionally friendly and accommodating, always ready to assist with a smile. The hotel itself was super clean, which made my stay even more comfortable.
The only downside was the limited breakfast options, which is why I decided not to avail of it. Instead, I opted to eat at KFC, which is conveniently located right next to the hotel.
Overall, I highly recommend Hotel Benilde for its excellent service, cleanliness, and prime location. Just keep in mind that if you’re looking for a wider breakfast selection, you might want to explore nearby options.FromCAD 76

We managed to check into the room on the third try. The first room was smoky, the second with a loud old air conditioner, we agreed to the third, because we were very tired from the night flight, although we were not thrilled with it. For early check-in at 8 am, they asked for an extra charge of 500 pesos. The location of the hotel is good, everything is nearby. Filipino breakfasts, monotonous, according to the menu, but there is always rice and an egg in the dish, only the third ingredient changes. Coffee is included in the breakfast. No fruits. No vegetables either. Pros: the room has a kettle, a refrigerator and a microwave. We were shocked by the presence of a gap (about 20 cm) between neighboring rooms. This was discovered after checking into the neighboring room, when we could hear the TV, the child, etc. as in our room. Everything was covered with a curtain and was initially not visible. But otherwise, in general, a good hotel. It will do for 1-2 days.FromCAD 28

I would say the hotel gets 10/10 for everything and except the some amenities which are quite old on the property but that doesn’t stop you from enjoying other amazing things offered.
Breakfast is made to order and not Buffet but the quality of the food is amazing specially the omelette which was filling and delicious.
Location- You could basically walk to all major attractions in Manila except the Venice canal mall.
Clubbing and Fun- There are loads of Japanese and Korean style bars and clubs in the doorstep but trust you won’t have the disturbance at night.
As a dad and a family man I’m happy that property restricts smoking in all common areas including the rooms but smoking should be made more accessible and should have rain sheds while it’s raining you can’t enter there. There’s no onsite bar in this hotel and I would loved to have one in the premises.
We stayed in the apartment type room with kitchen and had little to no issues with their quality of service.
Only 1 thing I would say as a recommendation to the hotel - Kindly check all your power sockets in that wing (A3-7) it’s tripping and it’s a safety hazard.
Overall very happy with their service and definitely worth the price we paid. Will I come again - Yes

Stayed for two nights to easily explore Intramuros, Fort Santiago, Luneta Park and etc. They gave 2 key cards. Required PhP2k deposit, could be via credit card or cash. We love the A/C in the room but not the penthouse, where the breakfast buffet is. Speaking, the food is how I remembered before the great break for mankind in 2020. It’s simple and basic yet really I find enjoyable. We enjoyed their coffee. The view from our room was beautiful. Ours was clean and there’s no carpet which I like. And now I’m reminded how we were greeted with stinky carpet going to Rafaelle. By the way, this restaurant revamped its menu. In my opinion it’s not for the better. There’s also no way to do advance order. Even when declared that you’re staying at the hotel and a heart beat away. I gave my full name that could be verified with the reception. The return call was to turn down my request. It was composed of fragments of words, some phrases. From that call, I didn’t understand their reason for not agreeing. Anyhow, alert to Mommies and Daddies with hungry babe/s in tow. Quite unfortunate.FromCAD 109
