I enjoyed the Harbor View Restaurant which is on a pier over the harbor. The shopping in Glorietta was pleasant. The restaurants in the Greenbelt Mall are pleasant. As an American I truly enjoyed Fort Bonifacio. The tour of Intramuros was extremely interesting.

Visited bars on the same street, but seems there is a new regulation. Small area bars cannot allow smoke and if the bar is big enough, then a smoking area can be established. It makes the overall environment there less fun than before (for myself as a smoker). Lastly, went down to Hard Rock cafe (big enough) where a large area you can smoke makes me feel better. Taxi right now is having regulation and the minimum is 30 Peso. There are more shopping malls being built and different variety of resturants and shops around. Feel comfortable in having my leisure in Manila.

Manila is a fine destination, but I believe the real Manila experience is found only in Makati. Be sure to eat at Quick Stomach. Fine food and excellent prices. No ambiance. It is like a diner with tall stools. I usually take the food back to the hotel or have it delivered.

The hotel is near Starbucks, the Ayala mall and the newest Mall in makati. All are within walking distance. There are many entertainment venues in the area as well. And it's Php150.00 cab ride to the airport (in a metered taxi).

If internet surfing is your thing, strongly recommend the internet cafe opposite the hotel. Very cheap, open 24/7 and has a 1mb connection.

The immediate area is fairly tawdry, but there are some convenient hotels.

Several malls and shopping centers located nearby. Ask the hotel front desk for directions. Check with the cab drivers to make sure they are using the meter, some do not.

Generally, I thought the North Park noodle houses one to three blocks away on Makati Ave were quite good and a real bargain. I was pleased with the experience overall, but it may not be for those who object to be in the strip joint section of Makati. Great variety of restaurants in the area (Cajun, Korean, Persian, Chinese, American, etc). Gigantic malls like Glorietta are very close and modern as they come. Walking distance to the banking financial district.

To my surprise Manila itself has very few sights to visit, at least during daytime. Nevertheless it is worth at least 2-3 days and you can always join package tours to many destinations around Manila or to places in north Luzon. The hotel you stay at should be able to offer a brochure about these tours. If you need to check your e-mail, try a very nice and affordable (1 Peso/minute) internet cafe on the west side of North Makati Avenue hidden among stores and restaurants on the 2nd floor of a gift shop (with a security guard outside 24/7). (It is on the left side, approximately 50 meters before you reach City Garden Hotel.)
