How to Get in and Out of Bacolod-Silay Airport?

The Bacolod-Silay International Airport is located 15 kilometers northeast of Bacolod City, in Barangay Bagtic in Silay City. Due to its location, getting in and out of the airport is quite a challege especially for first-timers. You may checkout my detailed post in "How to Get in and Out of Bacolod-Silay Airport" by clicking HERE.

Where to Stay in Bacolod City?

Bacolod City offers a lot of affordable and high quality hotels, guest/pension houses and inns for you to stay in during Masskara Festival 2015. But due to the high volume of tourists and visitors during the festival, getting a decent place to stay is quite a challenge. It is highly suggested that you book your accommodation as early as possible or a few months before the festival. Here are some of the places where I've stayed during my past visits to Bacolod City.
