Hotels in Bicol, Philippines
Bicol is a region in southeastern Luzon, Philippines, famous for the perfectly cone-shaped Mayon Volcano and spicy Bicol Express stew. The tropical climate has dry winters (November to May) that are perfect for whale shark snorkeling in Donsol's waters or hiking Mayon's lower slopes in 27°C (80°F) heat, while rainy summers (June to October) bring lighter crowds and cheaper stays, ideal for exploring Legazpi City's Cagsawa Ruins or lounging in the Caramoan Islands' hidden lagoons. If you visit between February and April, you'll catch the best views of Mayon's sunrise from the Lignon Hill observation deck.
