The festival of colors and bountiful harvest is alive once again as Lucban will celebrate its annual Pahiyas festival this coming May 15. Thousand of both local and foreign tourists would gather up again to the small town of Lucban for this extravagant festival. The question now is where will you stay?
There are a lot things to consider when looking for accommodation like rates and location. Here are some places you might want to check out for the Pahiyas:
LUCBAN
Patio Rizal and Summer Capital Inn are the located in the heart of Lucban where all the action is happening. Church, market and restaurants are within 5 minutes of walking. Because of it's location you need to book 6 months or even a year in advance just in time for the Pahiyas.

TAYABASChances of getting a reservation in Lucban during the Pahiyas is quite slim, make your way to the charming town of Tayabas instead. And just when you thought you've already found paradise in Natagpuang Paraiso in Lucban in Tayabas there's Nawawalang Paraiso. I actually laughed when I heard this from our relatives but its a nice hotel nestled in the mountains of Tayabas. Kamayan sa Palaisdaan is always known for it's floating restaurant in Quezon. Besides the food it now offers accommodation as well.
