Where to stay in Masbate
All hotels & resorts →Hotels in Masbate City, beach resorts in Mobo and the dive lodges on Ticao: what each one is actually good for, with rates.
City hotel on Quezon Street with a small water-play area, the one families with kids tend to ask about. Central enough to walk to the market, the banks and the cathedral.
Small guesthouse on the boulevard, on the walking side of town: sunset on the baywalk is a two-minute stroll and the grill stalls are closer still.
A bayfront resort in the city itself, and the best-rated place on this list. The restaurant is a local institution for eating by the water, which means you can stay somewhere with a proper kitchen without leaving Masbate City.
Out on the east coast at Curvada, in Cataingan: a beach resort in the part of the province most visitors never reach, and the natural base if you're heading to the Bagat-Dagat festival on the lagoon.
