Las Casas offers various options for accommodation, including hotel rooms and private casas. My sister booked us deluxe room, with each room good for 4 people.

This heritage resort in the small fishing village of Bagac, Bataan spans a total of 400 hectares. And though only 26 hectares of the vast area has been developed so far, the historical resort continues to grow.

The site houses several exquisite heritage houses, some of which are replicas, but the majority of which are the actual structures, carefully deconstructed at their original site, transported, reconstructed in Bagac, and then restored. The place also boasts replicas of important historical buildings, such as of the Hotel de Oriente in Binondo, Manila. The version in Bagac is a convention center skilfully built and embellished by the area’s locals.
