+ Crowne Royale Hotel + One of the things that have allured me with Bataan (upon staying for a few hours) is how there's an abundance of tricycles. We don't need to remember jeep routes at all! Our hotel is just a few minutes away from either the bus terminal or Jollibee Balanga or even from the Plaza. We are also near a Chowking and a branch of the famous The Beanery.

So there we ended up going to Bataan. The most popular means of going there is by land. But I don't want to spend my hours at the bus so we just booked a ferry instead. Booking the ferry is quite easy. You just have to login here . It's safe (I think) and was able to book 3 tickets to and fro. Make sure that you time your travels because weekend trip back is only 8 AM and 3 PM. Did I mention it's half the price when walk in? As of writing it's 450 vs 799. Why won't you even book online with that price? + 1Bataan Ferry + The port in Manila cannot be anymore convenient. It's just at the MOA Complex near Vikings. You just have to sign in (don't forget your print outs and ID...
