Filipinos love spending quality time with their loved ones. My mom always tells me that no trip is the same if the family isn’t complete. And in the Philippines, a family is not just composed of the parents and children -- it includes your grandparents, aunts, uncles, and even your cousins of the nth degree. With a huge selection of family getaways in the Philippines, it can be quite a challenge to find a place that has the best facilities for the entire fambam. Fret not! I've done the research of finding the best stays with exciting amenities fit for your clan!
