Donsol is just a small town with a small plaza and tricycles for transport. Resorts are nice accommodations with their cottages that are ideal for group vacation. However, there are houses that rent out their rooms to travelers and are contacted by travel agencies when resorts are fully booked at peak season.
Donsol can be reached through bus or plane from Metro Manila and still needs a bus ride from nearby Naga or Legazpi cities. However, it is advisable to contact a local travel agency or the tourism office to take you there or rent a van if you go by group. With a packaged tour, you get to stopover at other tourist destinations.
