December To Remember In Sagada Part 2: Rocky Valley Inn and Cafe Review (December 2013)

I booked a room for two as early as November since most of the Inns that I’ve contacted are fully booked already because of the bonfire festival and naturally, December’s a peak season in Sagada. I was able to booked at Rocky Valley Inn. I was asked to deposit half of the rate for three days (it’s 250/pax/day.) The inn is located near the Sagada Weaving and is in front of a gas station. It was a  good 8 minute walk from/to the center.

The place was very clean of course. I thought Alex, the guy who assisted us was very professional. The room given to us was at the second floor with a veranda which I loved by the way because it’s fronting a big beautiful rock formation and it was naturally, freaking cold.

They have WiFi connection at the ground floor and they also served food. The food was good and reasonably priced. Our only critique is the lack of hospitality from the other girl who’s manning the place who keeps sneering on us. She was probably in a bad mood that weekend. o_O  Overall, our stay was rather okay because the rooms are clean as well as the shared rest rooms. Just good food and clean room. *wink*

My Version Of OKTOBERFEST in Sagada Part 5: Salt & Pepper, Echo Valley and Photo Ops (October 2013)

On our last day, Joba and her boyfriend Russell had to leave early because they have to attend some stuff in Manila so Anna and I stayed just a little bit and decided to leave at lunch time.

yum! yum!

yum! yum!

We had our breakfast at Salt & Pepper whose ambiance I digged very much. We both ordered heavy breakfast and talked about what we’re going to do after.

after this we immediately went back to the guest house, packed our belongings and catch the last bus to Baguio City! I realized that October’s a really good time to visit this place (my first time here was in October 2010) because there aren’t too many tourist so you’d feel that you really have the place for yourself!
