Hotels near Daniel Z. Romualdez (Tacloban) Airport - TAC, Tacloban

it was my first trip anywhere and I would recommend the phillppines to anyone who likes beautiful places it blew my mind with the views especially once you get away from the big towns, the people are so friendly and willing to chat . I am planning to return again soon to see more of this beautiful country

Hurry up and build Robinsons Marasbaras again and soon....and make Leyte park hotel the best hotel again .... I like the Oriental Hotel but the view was spoiled by walk ways built, you cant see the ocean anymore, so much for infinity pool....my fave places to eat was Jos Milagrina, Sam sams for best Halo halo, Mang Inasal at Rob North, for a cosy eat all you can snacks was Veranda at Leyte park hotel, the best puto was at corner "Dahil sayo", for more cosy entertaining would be the best place for me was Hotel Lorenza and Hotel Alijandro and of course at "Ranchitos" for Barbeque in Real Street...

Just like any other city in the Philippines. Crowded, Traffic, Noise, Pollution, Hot, Lots to do, Lots to see. Oh Almost forgot this one. For some reason or another Tacloban still requires you to have a QR CODE to enter Robinson, and a few other places. When we asked the Police Guard why, the reply was expected. Because they tell me to do this...lol. Seriously though, this is whats so puzzling about the Philippines. Every BRGY, Island, or City is different when it comes to COVID. Mask on/Mask off, No QRC/YES QRC. SMH. Just figured since its all one GOV, you would follow what they put out. This is why its More Fun in Dah Philippines... P.S Its cleaner and less Dirt and Dust like DIRTYGUETE (Dumaguete). Such a Dirty, and Dusty City that one is...

People are very nice. Laid back. Not intense. Our time is short and so we had no time to really explore. Sto Nino Cathedral is worth visiting. We went to see the lighted San Juanico Bridge but after waiting for two hours, nothing happened. It was a waste of our time. The airport could be improved. It was very hot at the waiting lounge. Toilet is okay.

The City of Tacloban is a pity. There is nothing perfect. They need at least 50 Years to bring it up to near Canadian/American standards. It's impossible to walk safely as you could be overrun, or trip over obstacles or holes on roads or site walks if there are any at all. Blocked by parking cars or motorcycles. When you look over the roofs from your hotel room it looks like Bangladesh. There are lots of eateries, but all pretty junky. And the food is a disaster. You can get around with this Toysycles, but they will rip you off. There is absolutely no beach access. Avoid Tacloban all together.

Tacloban is a major city with just about everything you'll need, but nothing really special other than MacArthur Leyte Landing Memorial National Park in nearby Palo. I heard there are a couple new swimming resorts but I didn't visit them. That said, you are in driving distance (1 to 5 hours) of really nice coastlines, waterfalls etc. in Samar (and probably Leyte).
