Napoleon Castro \| nap_159@yahoo.com \| Paranaque City, Metro Manila Wednesday, June 02, 2010 at 06:56:41 PM PST Some of the captions on the pictures are inaccurate. To name a few, Palazzo de Laoag is not a very old hotel, it is a replica of an old building but just recently constructed. The picture of the city hall is actually the Provincial Capitol building of Ilocos Norte. The 2 pictures with the tower is not actually a church but it is the sinking bell tower of laoag City Cathedral.

Each city or municipality in the Philippines has its own beauty/lfays. Capilalize on your strength and support each other. Life is to short. Grow up people. "There is always bigger fish to fry" Be civil to each other. There are more beatiful places in the world waiting to be explored.

About Fort Ilocandia Hotel,the rooms smells smoke. We are allergic of smoke and others. We tried to stay there pero it STINKS. We ask for a non smoking room and they tried.This is the funny part about asking for a non smoking room,the chambermaids rush into the next door where we get the reservation and removed the ash trays and spray the room with air fresher but it still wreaked of smoke. So if your plans are to stay there beware of the smoke. Outside of the hotel is OK and the inside EXCEPT THE ROOMS. I know some of the staff there and how i wish i can stay there with my family for a while and chi chat with them.Please have SOME ROOMS THAT ARE NON SMOKING FOR THE SAKE OF THE KIDS AND WITH THOSE ALLERGIC TO SMOKE then we can call FORT ILOCANDIA HOTEL 5STAR HOTEL IN LAOAG CITY.Thank you and MABUHAY. gregy best \| ccbest@rogers.com \| ontario,canada Saturday, January 02, 2010 at 04:04:35 PM PST I am from Vintar but i amnow in Fort knox kentucky doing my basic training i een reading all the comments some comments are not nice insted of helping or respecting each other they end up nagging and changing of bad word at each other start making changes laoag and bata are nice place every place have their own nga maipagtansit da!

I mean, if you go and read their comments and if only you can understand their dialects, you will be amazed how good they are cursing each other. They love hurling bad words against each other. I even felt sick just reading their comments. Gosh!!! That's crazy!!! EVIL WORDS INDEED.

Any mistakes in spelling and wrong captions are to be forgiven. For those who can't take it, I suggest you subscribe to Conde Nast or Travel and Leisure. . . . Fort Ilocandia is nowhere near Four Seasons, "W", Shangrila, Fairmont etc etc...It has seen better days, no doubt about it. Just because someone said it is a 5-star hotel does not mean it is a 5-star hotel. It was the personal view of that person not the whole Ilocos Norte. We thank you for having visited us. If you plan on coming back, please check out the other hotels. There are plenty to choose from. Word of advise: Travel with an open mind, because each destination has a unique offering be it in Ilocos or any part of the world. samo \| laoag city Saturday, November 07, 2009 at 06:14:17 AM PST Sa mga nanglalait ng lugar, apparently yong lugar niyo is not to be proud of. Wala kayo identity to call your own. Meron ba kayo niyan sa inyo? nakapasyal na rin ako sa most of the so-called beautiful places in the Philippines. It turn out to be a hype, as travel magazine show showcases. Na disappoint ba ako? Hindi dahil alam kong it's not the place that makes it beautiful, it's the people. And if eople like you populates the area, then it's an ugly one. Filipino at it's worst. Crab mentality to the max. Kelan pa tayo aangat.

Sammy \| Nueva Vizcaya Tuesday, October 13, 2009 at 04:32:22 AM PST What's up people of Ilocos Norte particularly Laoag City? It is understandable na dapat nating ipagmalaki ang ating lugar pero huwag naman sanang exaggerated. I mean, napaka-misleading ang sobrang pagpuri nyo sa lugar ninyo lalo na sa sinasabi nyong % Star Fort Ilocandia. We went there and our romm ay may ipis, ang kubeta ay binabaha, at yung mga appliances sa loob ay parang ginawa pa nung panahon ng hapon. Pati aircondition ay maka-luma. Pati mini-bar ay naka-padlock pa. Come on give us a break. If we can afford to pay about 6,000 pesos per night, ba't naman namin pag iinteresan pang nakawin kung anuman ang laman ng mini-bar nyo? it is embarrasing talaga. Ayusin ho natin ang pagpuri natin sa ating lugar at dapat lang na lumagay sa tama para naman hindi tayo nakakahiya. angry \| www.angry \| batangas Tuesday, October 13, 2009 at 04:26:47 AM PST napintas unay ti Laoag.adu nagbaliwan nan..adu pay ketdi ti gan-gannaet nga tao.adu ti nadur-as nga establisemento.Sapay kuma ta manayon pay ti dur-as ti tao keb lugar tayo..Agbiag!!!!

In the US it's all work no play and in Laoag and Philippines, it's all play no work, lol. People are living and enjoying themselves despite the little means they have, which goest to show that you really can have a life with what little you have and still people are friendly and happy regardless of their circumstances. I visit Laoag and other parts of the Philippines as much as possible and when I leave, I feel a lost of identity and really miss the place, weird. Rommel Foronda \| rommelforonda@yahoo.com \| Hollister, CA, USA Saturday, August 08, 2009 at 07:05:32 AM PST Laoag oh what a glorious and beautiful city ! Oplan Dalus written everywhere in the city. Well where I come from is no city at all. A small town in Arkansas population of about 500. I am always amazed at Filipinos and how they see us Americans , if only they knew how I grew up and in my place it so very similiar to this place , yet here in the city so much commerce and little sari sari stores around each corner, oh my gosh we had to travel 15 miles or more to get to a store, here just walk around the block. I Love it here, plan to stay here a long time. Friendly people here. I am even told that if someone tries to pickpocket me or mug me that I can yell out and start punching the thief and others will join in , as they hate those that do that here. I like that , thats the way it should be anyhow. Lots to see here for a history buff and the people are usually very friendly. I just miss the big open roads of home and the sidewalks , they need sidewalks here , the streets are where everyone has to walk, no real sidewalks to be seen, only in the main part of town. In a city of about 100,000 there should be sidewalks everywhere for safety. But then again the saying goes, only in the Philippines... Aside from a few minor inconveniences that Americans are used to on a daily basis , this place is fantastic. I see the Calesa's and fantasize that at one time this was a wonderous place , before all the buzz buzz loud buzz sounds of the tricycles everywhere. Oh how I would just love to have a day without the tricycles and just Calesa's in the streets. A Calesa driver told me once , " Its a slow ride , but its clean " Oh how nice that was to hear, and everytime I walk the streets I think of that , and wish so much these buzz saw sounding tricycles would take a day off and just let it be Calesa day . I wonderful Romantic notion of days gone by . The Calesa may be slow , but its clean and to myself, beautiful and romantic . To everyone reading this, you should come here to visit, its a place apart from the rest of the Philippines, a place very worthy of seeing and spending some time in. I Love it here !!!

Regarding what you said that Laoag City doesn't have a 5-star hotel, I want to inform everybody that there is in fact a 5-star hotel in Ilocos Norte. Fort Ilocandia Resort and Casino is a 5-star hotel in Laoag City. The hotel has been famous to frequent travelers. It has accomodated many celebrities and even served as home for Ms. Earth pageant candidates who had visited the place. Fort Ilocandia is located along the shore of Laoag City. It is not along the highway. It provides luxurious commodities. It has a casino, an olympic size swimming pool and a golf course as well. One more thing, the photo you posted as Laoag City Hall was the city hall. It is Ilocos Norte's Provincial Capitol. The Laoag City Hall has brick walls and is situated beside the ramp of the bridge going South. To all fellow visitors out there, these are just some corrections!!! To the site's admin, try visiting Fort Ilocandia Resort Hotel and Casino on your next visit to Laoag City.

Clean rooms, friendly and accomodating staff. Has its own bar and restaurant. And if your car needs servicing or gas, there's one right in front of the hotel. (HIGHLY RECOMMENDED) BALAY DA BLAS - the best pension house for those who wish to get that "home away from home" feeling... they also have their own cafe so you won't have to worry about food. Good bed and breakfast place. (HIGHLY RECOMMENDED) FORT ILOCANDIA - if you'e a foreign tourist who wants to be pampered, stay here. They love foreign tourists and you'll get pampered, especially if they think you are a weathy Taiwanese businessman... but if you'e just a local businessman or a local tourist, I suggest you stay either at Java or Balay Da Blas to get your money's worth... nikko mahor \| nikko.r.mahor@gmail.com \| quezon city and ilocos norte Tuesday, March 17, 2009 at 05:43:08 PM PST I was in the US Navy on the USS Ronquil SS396 with a Lucas Madamba who would be about 68 now.

They are the original makers of the delicacy. It is more filling than the ones other town makes. Also visit our wwhite beach of Pagudpud, The Boracay of the North.

The rooms we stayed in are about above average. The hotel grounds...you just have to be there to enjoy it. We spent most of the time at the pool...the waves at the beaches at the time of our visit are very rough and windy. The hotel has a shuttle service that will pick you up at the airport and vise versa. All in all, we had a very enjoyable time at Fort Ilocandia. The breakfast buffet that was included with your stay is very good. Unfortunately, I don't eat pork and pork products (it was abundant at the buffet table). There are a lot of local fruits and bread. The "arroz caldo" is out of this world. It is very delicious. It would be safe to say that you can not go wrong by staying at Fort Ilocandia.

Nestor Segundo \| islandloans@aol.com \| 467 Lilihua Place, Wailuku, HI and Las Vegas, Nevada Saturday, January 03, 2009 at 04:23:05 PM PST I was born and educated in Laoag City. I went to Zamboanga Elementary School (now Cabeza), then on to Ilocos Norte School of Arts and Trades (now INCAT), and finished my bachelor's degree at Northern Luzon Teachers College (now MMSU College of Education). Since I've known Laoag (before it became a city) to have been the largest municipality north of Manila, there has never been an event that tainted her name (Light), a source of power, wisdom, vision, inspiration, aspiration and enlightenment. I left the city in 1974, and I have been returning over and over again, only to find out that a big chunk of improvements have eluded me as I leave. Every time I go back, a bigger chunk of nostalgia haunts me. The serenity of the countryside, the beautiful smiles of dainty Laoaguenas, the smell of freshly cut rice stalks, the long stretch of rolling sand dunes, the race of calesas at Gilbert bridge, the city fiesta, the precessions during Lent, and everything that shaped my very being as Ilocano from Laoag have all trickled down memory lane. Yes, Laoag, I miss you. I will be coming back again and again. See you soon! Aloha!

I left Laoag for the USA in 1974 and I visited Laoag for 3 days only in 1997. I wish my family and I stayed longer for we were able to see only the new Patapat Road in Pansian and Pasaleng leading to Claveria, Cagayan. Very beautiful sight of Pansian Beach from this new road. I'd been planning to visit Laoag for at least a week on our next trip to the Philippines to savor the good old days and really enjoy the new sceneries, visit the INNHS and NLTC and other tourist attractions. My children loved it there and really preferred to stay in Laoag than the hot, dirty air and traffic laden Metro Manila. I keep abreast of Laoag City news by reading the online copy of Ilocos Times. I must say that I am really proud to be from Laoag and I always tell our friends here in New Jersey, USA to include Laoag as one of their itineraries when they visit the Philippines.

I HAVE JUST VISITED LAOAG IN 2006 SPENT X-MAS AND NEW YEAR. IT WAS MY 1ST VACATION SINCE I MOVED TO HAWAII IN 1979. I ENJOYED MY STAY AND I WILL GO BACK. LAOAG HAS CHANGED A LOT, THE ROAD MOST ESPECIALLY THE PLACE. I WAS 9 WHEN I LEFT LAOAG CITY JANE \| HONOLULU, HAWAII Friday, April 04, 2008 at 09:37:36 PM PST A wonderful place to visit! Always wanting to see more! The people, clean environment, simple life-style, and a lot more, that would make you crave for another chance to experience the wonder it offers to the people.. Would definitely go back to this place, and would even retire here over the United States of America..It's a different feeling!! It's my HOME!! NARCISO VIZCARRA JR. \| nars_no_match@yahoo.com \| GABU SUR, LAOAG CITY Sunday, March 30, 2008 at 03:55:05 AM PST Fort Ilocandia Resort Hotel, Thanks for the help! I will try it next trip.. Phil \| Florida, USA Saturday, March 29, 2008 at 10:53:10 PM PST The PICS LOOK GOOD! I'm sure there are other nice hotels in the city. Parklane Hotel must be new. Haven't heard that name when I was in Laoag.I saw Tiffany Hotel along Gen. Segundo Ave. That hotel looks interesting at the front. Doesn't look like much parking space at the front though.However, there are quite a few choices of hotel in this city. Not expect fancy ones. Or else you should have checked out Fort Ilocandia for fancy rooms, right?I know pretty much about the city. I've worked there from 1991-1995 @ Mister Donut - right at the corner of Rizal and Gen. Segundo Ave Streets. Yes, this city has progressed a lot since I've left. I love Laoag City. Hoping to retire there.
