8 Best Pet-friendly Resorts And Hotels Near Manila
Doesn’t it excite you when you go out for a spontaneous trip? After all, we love discovering new places outside the city because it helps re-energize ourselves from time to time. Experts highly recommend it since too much stress isn’t good for us anyways. Even our beloved furry friends can get stressed out too, especially if they’ve been cooped up in the house all day (think of The Secret Life of Pets). While you can always spend a weekend in the city, a change of scenery might do you good. Pamper yourself and your pet with a quick vacay at one of these pet-friendly resorts and hotels near Manila.

6Stilts Calatagan Beach Resort – Batangas
Another tranquil getaway located in Batangas is none other than Stilts Calatagan Beach Resort. This place is known for picturesque floating cottages over the sea hence the resort’s name. While you’re at the beach, make sure you sit back and watch its splendid sunsets or sunrises (exclusively for early risers only) that are incomparable with the ones in the city.
