Hotels in Calabarzon, Philippines

Calabarzon, just south of Manila, is famous for the stunning Taal Volcano view from Tagaytay and the diving spots in Batangas. The climate is tropical with a dry season from November to April, perfect for snorkeling in the clear waters of Anilao, and a rainy season from June to October, ideal for exploring Laguna's Pagsanjan Falls and the 18th-century churches in Nagcarlan. If you visit during the cooler months (November to February, around 70-85°F or 21-29°C), you can hike the Taal crater, while the rainy season means cheaper hotel rates and fewer tourists at the heritage towns.
