My first time in Bataan was nothing but fun and amazing experience. It was fun because our group went on an entire day of adventure at Mariveles Five Fingers. It was also an amazing experience because we stayed in one of Bataan’s top hotels, The Oriental Bataan.

It was a fun-filled day, and staying here at The Oriental Bataan felt like a reward to us.
