Hotels in Negros Occidental , Philippines
Negros Occidental sits on the western side of Negros Island, Philippines, and is known as the Sugar Capital because of its endless sugarcane fields. The tropical climate stays around 80F (27C) all year, with dry months from November to April perfect for diving at Danjugan Island or touring Silay City's 19th-century ancestral homes, while the wet season from May to October brings the MassKara Festival to Bacolod each October, featuring dancers in smiling masks and live street bands playing upbeat folk music. During the dry season you can hike Mt. Kanlaon, an active volcano, for island views, and during the rainy season you'll find cheaper hotel rates and fewer crowds at The Ruins, a mansion built in the 1900s that burned down in World War II.
