Where to Stay in Naga City: Villa Caceres Hotel


Yey!!! Now completing my staycation diaries of the pioneering hotels in Naga. After experiencing first hand Avenue Plaza Hotel and Crown Hotel, here’s the good ol’ but classically beautiful Villa Caceres Hotel. VCH rooms offer a Victorian interior plus many upgraded hotel amenities that can complement your lifestyle. Villa Caceres is now on its 25th year serving Naga and Bicol’s guests, just wow!





Had a “me time/down time/quiet time call it any way you want it at VCH’s Executive Suite now I can personally recommend them with conviction. While yes, it’s basic to recommend what we have here in Naga, but guided by my principle, it’s indeed important to have them personally experienced to better understand how our services here in Naga work.

Villa Caceres Hotel can actually be of service to different guests. There are rooms for the budget conscious especially for travelers, offering dormitory type rooms, a solo room with basic hotel accommodation and the new wing with premiere rooms having Victorian interiors like this Executive Suite. 

The room, #242 has a small balcony overlooking a neighborhood. Oh, the room is a non-smoking room. 
The Executive Suite comes with a complimentary buffet breakfast good for 2 pax at RJ's Buffet and use of the swimming pool.
I just love every bit of detail of the Victorian interior.
The room has a quiet split-type AC unit which is individually controlled according to your temperature preference, a 32" Samsung LED? TV with Cable connection and USB ports should you have storage devices with your own movies. The room has a huge work desk with lamp and telephone beside the bed (no extension of the phone inside the bathroom).

There's a mini bar, with the basic electric kettle, cups and saucers, coffee and bottled mineral water. There's a mini-ref as well, a closet with hangers, luggage rack and bathrobes. There's also an electronic lock safe for your important belongings. 


The bathroom has of course the hot and cold shower, towels, hair dyer, basic toiletries like shower caps, shampoo & conditioner,  soap, toothbrush & toothpaste for your dental needs and a very nice bathtub.


VCH also makes sure that you get updated with their latest offerings and events. 
Cozy and comfortable bed. 
And of course waking up as the sunlight touches you coming from the balcony is always a lovely sight.

Complimentary buffet breakfast for two at RJ's Buffet. Yey!

Wasn't able to take much photos during breakfast because there were a lot of guests that day.


Really love this part of the hotel. This is an extension of the lobby from the front desk with elegant chairs that will make you feel like royalty.


Plus look up for a surprise and stargaze right then and there. 

Indeed Villa Caceres Hotel has upgraded so much over the past few years. What I love about VCH is the flexibility of their services. Will be exploring more about them one by one hopefully in the next months to come. Will be updating this post from time to time but here are the rest of the amenities that for sure most of you have already experienced.

Rafabel's, one of my favorite cafes in Naga, also has a branch here in Villa Caceres. Rolando's Cafe, the in house restaurant of the hotel. RJ's Buffet, the fiesta all day buffet and the biggest in Naga. Beside it is of course the legendary Bistro Roberto, the bar and disco in one that has been entertaining Naga for decades. Anne's Pool Bar. The Health Resort Club (HRC) which comprises the GYM, POOL and SPA. You should check out their MVP Card too as it is loaded with privileges that will give you ample of discounts whole year round. There's so much to say about Villa Caceres now to be honest and this is just the tip of the iceberg.

Buffet Breakast at the Avenue Plaza Hotel


Naga City - Breakfast has never been this satisfying ever since I was able to try the buffet at the Cafe Plazuela of Avenue Plaza Hotel. Whether you are staying at the hotel or not, walk-in guests can avail of the buffet breakfast at a very reasonable price.

The menu is a combination of local and international breakfast options. There's an egg station where you can request for an omelet with garnishes of your choice. Cold cuts station plus a bread, butter and cheese station. Assorted fruits and fresh vegetables with special dressing and a cereal station at the center.

CLICK HERE for a list of other Eat All You Can Restaurants in Naga City



On the left wing are the heavy, carbo and protein loaded breakfast options. The menu varies from time to time. The first time I was able to try the buffet (story HERE), the left wing dishes where slightly different.


If you're staying at the hotel, you'll have the buffet breakfast as included in your room package. All worth it! If you're planning to do a staycation at the Avenue, check out bit.ly/avenuepromos for promos and you might get a good offer (sometimes as low as P2,678.57 per night!)

Avenue Plaza Hotel Launches New Menu of Cafe Plazuela


Naga City - Avenue Plaza Hotel (APH), the most awarded hotel not only in this city but in the Bicol Region has taken it's toll in providing world class experience to its patrons both local and foreign guests. Over a year ago of the same month, APH re-launched the famous Afternoon Tea after being originally launched for the first time back in September 2013. Behind the re-launched Afternoon Tea were two Global Chefs with decades of culinary experience in the name of Chef Paul Oraa (Pastry Chef) and Chef Rudy Velasco (Executive Chef) (Read HERE for their BIO). Avenue continues to invest in people with real talents and skills to provide world class culinary experience at the comfort of our home city, Naga. The Avenue Plaza Hotel  now on its eight year of providing the good life to guests is indeed a milestone. Happy anniversary!

Lingers to your soul. The Café Plazuela is always beautiful  the whole year-round.  The whole ensemble of the restaurant consists of the lights, chandeliers, chairs, ceramic tablewares, exquisite glasswares. Beyond the physical attributes of Café Plazuela the most important aspect in a restaurant is always something produced by people, the courteous and smiling servers, live music being played by talented musicians and the chefs behind the meal you are about to partake.



Around the world kind of menu but never leaving out the goodness of Filipino Dishes. Today, the NEW menu of the Cafe Plazuela is now open to the public and loyal guests of the hotel. It's an all around the world kind of menu for everyone to experience right here in the Heart of Bicolandia. Now many of the dishes might be word-class but rest assured that Avenue does not leave out the goodness of Pinoy food. Cafe Plazuela will be perfect for your special occasions and cherished moments. Remember, that even if you're not checking in at the hotel, the restaurant is always open to serve you.

Last weekend, together with the Bicol Bloggers and Nagayon Team, we were privileged enough to have a taste (just a few dishes) of the new menu. While Naga City Deck Facebook turned 20k Likes a night before our staycation at the Avenue, everything felt like it was destiny. I'm back home to the very first brand who supported my advocacy. I'll keep you posted for the separate article regarding our staycation at the Avenue. Now let's take this all around the world trip right here at home, shall we? There are numerous dishes on the new menu, so everything you’ll see here is just a sneak peek.


A separate blog post will be dedicated to the hotel's amenities. 
Everything just won't fit in one blog post if it's The Good Life Experience.

Everything is not enough in one blog post. These are just few of the wonderful creations of the Chefs of the Avenue Plaza Hotel. There's many for us to try but as for me, I have a limited storage in my tummy, coming back to Cafe Plazuela will be a very good idea. If you have guests coming to Naga anytime soon or this coming Peñafrancia Festival, bring them to Cafe Plazuela and they will experience the good life and the best of Bicolano hospitality. It was a lovely night with my blogger friends and I may sound exaggerated but it was really an around the world journey of culinary creations. We're very grateful to your generosity, Avenue! Cheers to eight wonderful years and more, Cafe Plazuela and Avenue Plaza Hotel!

BICOL’S STAR SHINES BRIGHTER! 
Avenue Plaza Hotel wins fourth consecutive Tripadvisor Certificate of Excellence and 2013-2014 National Product Quality Excellence Award as 
Best Quality Service Hotel 


Recognised as a Top Performing Hotel, not just in Bicol but in the whole Philippines, Avenue Plaza Hotel announced today that it has received its TripAdvisor® Certificate of Excellence award for 2014. This is the fourth time the Avenue Plaza won this accolade which honours hospitality excellence under the management of its President and General Manager Mr. Allan S.Cu as reviewed by travellers on the world’s largest travel site.

Certificate of Excellence is given only to establishments that consistently achieve outstanding traveller reviews on TripAdvisor, and is extended to qualifying businesses worldwide.  Establishments awarded the Certificate of Excellence are located all over the world and represent the upper echelon of businesses listed on the website. 

Avenue Plaza Hotel was also one of the awardees in the 2013-2014 National Product Quality Excellence Award and the Best Quality Service Hotel in Bicol. 

Ms.Apple Allison Perez Marketing Manager and Mr.Paul Dichoso Sales & Business Development Manager personally received the plaque and seal of excellence conferred by National Council on Product and Service Excellence and Q Asia Magazine in the awards night held in Quezon City the last May 30, 2014.

The Certificate of Excellence and Best Quality Service Hotel accolades areremarkable vote of confidence to Avenue Plaza Hotel and their continued commitment to excellence. 

“We’d like to extend my warmest gratitude to you to all our guests who took the time to complete a review on TripAdvisor and at the same time nominate us for various awards. These recent recognitions are a true source of pride and inspiration for the whole Avenue Plaza Hotel team,” said Mr. Allan S. Cu President and GM of Avenue Plaza. “There is no greater seal of approval than being recognised by one’s customers that is why we will never rest on our laurels as we continually and consistently strive for excellence.”

As a testament of their promise for excellence and global standards, Mr.Cu also signed the private sector commitment to the UNWTO Global Code of Ethics for Tourism which was witnessed by UNWTO Secretary General Taleb D. Rifai and Philippines DOT Secretary Ramon Jimenez held at Legazpi City during the UNWTO events in Albay together with other invited key stakeholders and industry players throughout the Philippines.

According to Ms.Perez who handles the hotel’s digital marketing, Avenue Plaza constantly monitor guest feedbacks and use social media as vital tool for customer service. This enables them to observe, validate and respond to their guests needs and wants accordingly. “The management takes every review and comment seriously. We want to make sure that our guests are satisfied with our service and if they had any concern that weren’t brought up during their stay we make sure that we address them properly. Part of our strategy in keeping our brand at par with global standards is extending our services online and by staying connected with our guests before and even after their stay at the Avenue Plaza Hote,” she said. 

With excellent customer satisfaction rating, it’s not surprising to know why travellers and guests keep coming back. A previous guest from Canada who stayed for 40 days for work said that Avenue Plaza Hotel is the best choice. Mr. Adam wrote in his review that “the staff were outstanding! They were warm, friendly, fun and always accommodating. The service was great across the board and I could not have been more pleased.Next time I'm in Naga, I'm definitely staying at The Avenue Plaza.” Domestic travellers like Ms.Tess from Manila couldn’t agree more. Greatly pleased with her stay during a national convention held at the Avenue Plaza, she said that she will definitely come back and won't hesitate to recommend the hotel. 

Aside from being famous a business boutique hotel in Bicol region where you can have your meetings and conventions, Avenue Plaza is also an ideal family friendly hotel. They’ve been the preferred home away from home of foreigners and balikbayans whenever they are in Naga City. Mr. Brian M. from Canada who travelled with his family had this to say “Excellent stay - our fifth stay at the Avenue Plaza. This hotel would not be out of place in New York, London or Paris. Lovely high class hotel with outstanding staff service.” International class hotel in Naga City, he wrote in his review on a hotel booking site.  

Plaque and Seal of Excellence awarded to Avenue Plaza Hotel and received by Apple Allison Perez and Paul Dichoso

Ms.Perez said that it always delight them whenever their guests tell them that Avenue Plaza, an independent hotel in a provincial city, is comparable to international chain-hotels. “Most of the time, people get surprised upon knowing that Avenue Plaza Hotel is managed independently by my boss, Mr. Allan S. Cu and his wife Ms.Gwen Cu who oversees the design and cozy aesthetics of the hotel. With all modesty, I really think they deserve a Tourism Star for advocating excellence in the hospitality industry thus making Avenue Plaza one of the best accommodations in the Philippines. I hope our previous guests can also share their stories and nominate Avenue Plaza Hotel as their Tourism Star” she added.   

Make Avenue Plaza Hotel your Tourism Star Ph 
As this homegrown brand constantly work on making a mark for the Bicol tourism and hospitality industry by nurturing guests through their signature kind of service, one thing is for sure; Avenue Plaza Hotel will constantly raise the bar of Philippine travel experience.
