University of the Philippines Los Baños

This is a great place to stay at after the long flight from America and there is restaurant and store near by to adjust from American life to Philippine life. The staff was very friendly and hospitality comes first to them. Enjoy your stay like I did. I used this places as my gateway to Philippines since terminal 3 is across the and Cebu Air is there.

Each time I stayed at the Birch Tower, whether it was under the Regency Grand Suites, The Pacific Bay, or the JMM Grand Suites, I have repeatedly suggested to the hotel administrative staff that they really do need to improve their swimming pool furniture and surrounding areas with modern upgrades. The pool area looks neglected and abandoned. Their wicker bamboo chairs are all broken and falling apart, and so are the patio wicker tables. The entire swimming pool area definitely needs major improvements with an upgrade. At least one flat screen television should be mounted in the covered concrete patio areas, with soft cushioned seating on the concrete benches.
