Fundacion Pacita is the best place to stay in Batanes. The bedroom is big, clean and the sheet smells fresh. In addition, the view is simply breathtaking. Bonus is the fantastic service provided by the friendly and helpful hotel staff. Had a really wonderful time. Im glad my friend Elaine insisted that we stay at Fundacion. Definitely going back.

We visited Batanes for our honeymoon and booked our last 2 days at Fundacion Pacita. We stayed previously at Batanes Seaside (4days) before coming here so we were pretty much done with all the island tours and planned on just getting lazy and staying in our room. Our room was amazing, great view, nice bed and bathroom - picture perfect... More

How else can you enjoy a whole day of nature trip but to come home to a cozy, homey cottage on top of the hill with a great view 360 degreesof the property. You have to see it to believe it.

It is our stay in Fundacion Pacita that made the whole travel experience so extraordinary. As a friend told me, it's Fundacion Pacita or bust! I agree. If going to Batanes I'd rather delay the trip and save up for the stay in Fundacion than go save money and stay elsewhere.

Fundacion Pacita is the former residence and studios of the famous artist Pacita Abad. Pacita died of cancer and left her residence and legacy for all to enjoy, and boy ENJOY is the word! In terms of expense, well, according to Filipino's it's VERY expensive, but on the whole, this place is a bargain and a half! Exquisite, elegant, magical,... More

Every December my purpose is to find a place in the Philippines that is away from the tourist traps, isolated and QUIET. Batanes and Fundacion Pacita met all my requirements. Upon my arrival I was greeted very cordially by the staff. As I had arrived in the morning, I was escorted straight to the dining area and served a sumptuous... More

Let me start by saying that I consider this as one of my best stay, by far, among all the hotels that we've stayed in and we've been traveling all year round. First, the view..imagine a 180 degrees of natural landscape and ocean as your view from your windows. Probably, I will not give justice to our room's view just... More

A friend and I spent Holy Week in Batanes and stayed 2 nights here. Aside from Batanes's natural beauty, Fundacion made it special. We got the terrace suite. When I booked it I was kinda thinking that the price is pretty steep, but when I got there - I was like OKAY I get it. The room was big with... More

Albeit the most expensive accommodation in Batanes, the rooms, the breathtaking view and the service of the staff are definitely worth the splurge. We will definitely come back to this piece of heaven.
