It’s officially the “month of love”. Busy as you may be, abandoning your special someone at this particular time of year is not an option. Besides, it’s an excuse to take your quality time up a notch — or at least in a new direction — by spending it in a place you probably wouldn’t go to on a casual occasion. A hotel! Believe me, staying in a plush room with an ocean view, en-suite pool or dinner voucher for two could make that much of a difference. Here are 12 hotels in the Philippines to spend a romantic staycation and dinner date with your special partner!
