Featuring Loreto Microtel: The First Upscale Hotel Dormitory and Resort in Agusan del Sur



The Hotel Team



Meet the Loreto Microtel Team. 

Welcome to the heartwarming tale of the Loreto Microtel Team, a dedicated group of individuals working tirelessly to enhance your hotel experience. Situated in the picturesque municipality of Loreto, this team comprises residents who have faced adversity head-on, including job losses during the pandemic, unfair wages, and mistreatment by previous employers. The inhabitants of Loreto have been grappling with the depletion of their natural resources, leading to dwindling income sources due to river and lake siltation caused by forest degradation.


Challenges Faced by Loreto


Loreto's once-thriving fishing grounds, such as the Umayam River and Lake Panlabuhan, have seen a decline in fish populations, impacting the local tribes' food sources, particularly the Manobo tribe. The situation drove many to seek greener pastures outside the municipality, as relying solely on nature's gifts became insufficient to meet their families' needs.


The pandemic further exacerbated the situation, forcing businesses, including the accommodation sector, to shutter their operations. In response, the local government, known as the MLGU  Loreto, embarked on a journey to establish local economic enterprises to reinvigorate the economy. The creation of Loreto Microtel, aligned with the municipality's vision of eco-friendly development, emerged as a pivotal step.


Birth of Loreto Microtel


By the third quarter of 2022, fueled by demand and mounting unemployment, the MLGU decided to unveil Loreto Microtel to the public. Every member of Loreto's population, regardless of age, gender, or background, was deemed valuable, and the Loreto Microtel Team emerged as a diverse blend of talents, skill sets, and identities. The hiring process prioritized capabilities, fostering an environment where individuals of varying sexual orientations and ages coexisted.


Rooms and Rates


Loreto Microtel boasts a range of rooms catering to different preferences and budgets. From the cozy Single Room, accommodating one occupant, to the Twin Room, offering two beds and modern amenities, the options are versatile. The VIP Deluxe Rooms, including Deluxe, Matrimonial, and Presidential Suite, cater to luxury seekers. 


For larger groups, the Dormitory Rooms for ten or twenty people offer practical and economical choices. These rooms, equipped with double-deck beds, provide a comfortable stay at accessible rates.
