Villa Estela New Inn @ Maramag Bukidnon

We spent our Lenten holidays in Bukidnon where we stayed in Villa Estela (Fine Inn). We spent it together with my partner’s friend Ian and his family. Your CDO Guide has trip again in Lenten Holidays, this is a 4 days vacation to all of us especially to people who work very hard and it needs some rest.

We left from Cagayan de Oro at around past noon and arrived in Valencia past 3pm via Rural Transit Bus which cost us P 150/head (aircon non-stop bus) then rode a multicab (P 7/head) to Valencia City proper. From Valencia City proper, we again ride L300 transportation (Valencia to Kibawe route) to Maramag which cost us P 20/head. We stopped by in Villa Estela as this was the only place which was vacant. Most resort in Maramag Bukidnon was fully booked that day like MGM and WAIG.

Tips:

• If you are not familiar with place then try to ask people around you.
• The most safety person when you ask is the police or the security guard.
• Be aware the people surround you.
• And the most important thing is when you ride any public utility try to seat in front so that you can ask to the driver on the exact location. Talk to the driver and friend him.

There room rates were just reasonable and with free breakfast. Their tariff for Single Bed (good for one is P 600), for Matrimonial Bed (good for two) is P 800, Twin Bed (good for two) is P1,000 and for VIP room (good for two) is P1,200. The Inn has amenities and services like air conditioned rooms, hot and cold shower, remote controlled tv, free local calls, 24 hour convenience store, wifi zone, guarded and lighted inn and parking area and they have a LIVE band.

We imagine a bamboo inn in a sulky place surrounded by mountains and smelled with cow’s shit. However, we were shocked as this was a heavenly place for a tourist like us who can’t live without wifi and has great service matched with a clean and highly maintained place with a low cost. The place has also friendly and accommodating staff. This Inn is near to Maramag Municipal Hall.

Here are some pictures we got from this place: The image is not that good coz it’s only taken from our phones.
