True to its meaning, Sulyap Bed and Breakfast, gives us a glimpse of the old Philippines. The hotel rooms are in Casa Alitagtag and Casa Obando. Both casas are restored old houses. These are two storey, "bahay na bato" , a typical house of the rich and famous during the Spanish time. It has a veranda and a garden at the front. To add to the ambiance, old Filipino songs are being played in the garden. Staying there gave me the feeling of being in the Spanish-time Philippines.

We stayed at the ground floor of Casa de Alitagtag. There were 4 of us, and we paid Php5,800 for a room, good for 5 persons. The room is spacious with 5 beds, including 1 day bed and a very spacious ensuite toilet and bath. There is TV in the room and the fee includes free wi-fi, bottled water and breakfast.

They serve popular Filipino breakfast : Steamed or garlic fried rice, egg, pickled papaya with choices of longganisa, tapa or bangus (milkfish). This comes with coffee or tabliya (Filipino hot chocolate), tea or canned juice. Americal breakfast is also available.
Breakfast is served at the Sulyap Gallery Cafe, amidst the many antique displays. The Gallery Cafe is another restored house.

There is also a small museum in Sulyap-which unfortunately, we did not have time to look at.
For those with kids. the can play in the garden which is planted with rambutan trees and with chicken roaming (and running) around. There is also a swimming pool at the end of the garden.

Definitely a good place to stay- specially for guests who wants to experience things that are Filipino. And I would have to say that this bed and breakfast has very hospitable and helpful staffs!
