Hotels in Negros Occidental , Philippines

Negros Occidental is a province on the western side of Negros Island in the Philippines, known as the Sugar Capital of the country for its vast sugarcane fields and colonial-era plantations. The tropical climate hovers around 80-90°F (27-32°C) all year; visit during the dry season from November to April to explore the preserved ancestral houses in Silay City, or come in October for the MassKara Festival in Bacolod, where you'll see dancers in smiling masks and hear live brass band music. The Ruins in Talisay, the shell of an early 1900s mansion burned during World War II, is open year-round and offers a peek into the region's sugar baron past.
