Stayed at Manila Hotel - Manila, Philippines.
|
Wherever you go in the Philippines, it's good to have someone accompany you. My place is Negros Occidental where many friends are waiting for me. There are a few recommendable hotels like Bacolod Convention Plaza, L'fisher or Kundutel near the airport. Food is different. Language is different. I always enjoy simple and local Bacolod airport, meeting people, enjoy native food such as chicken inato and the Nature.

Stayed at Makati Prime Tower Suites - Manila, Philippines.
|
If you are going for the tenderloin district of Burgos this isn't a bad place. Excellent location surrounded by may pubs. The mall and shops at Greenbelt are convenient by taxi.

Stayed at Parque Espaņa Residence Hotel - Manila, Philippines.
|
We went out every day and we were accommodated well with respect to shuttle services when we were not able to avail of our hired designated driver. We mostly went to the nearby malls: Festival Mall and Alabang Town Center then we visited the ordinary and native areas of interest like the Fish Port at Navotas much like the South Street Seaport of New York (Fulton fish Market).

Stayed at Fraser Place Serviced Residences - Manila, Philippines.
|
Fraser Place is located in the heart of the business district of Makati. The nearby Glorietta and Greenbelt shopping areas are great for shopping and dining out. If you love being in the center of everything then this is the place to be.

Go to see Tribe of Levi playing at Friends, El Pueblo - great bar and absolutely wonderful band. It is 30 yards from the hotel and a sensational Saturday night out.

Stayed at BSA Mansion - Manila, Philippines.
|
Visited several cities while we were in Luzon to include Laguna, Batangas City, Cavite and Vigan. I have my own transportation that I drove myself. The place to stay in Los Banos, Laguna would be the Oasis-the cleanest and most prestigious hotel/resort with warm mineral water/pool in Laguna. I give it a five star just for its cleanliness. The malls are a great venue for eating all types of food, I like glorietta cause that's where I stayed.

I spent a great deal of time at the Greenbelt Malls nearby. They are not to be taken lightly and are worth the time- Restaurants etc are great!!! And shopping is available for any pocketbook. Taxi availability to the rest of Manila is handy.

Stayed at Traders Hotel Manila - Manila, Philippines.
|
I have visited Boracay on this trip. I have read many positive things about Boracay, but it is one thing I had not read about, which surprised and disappointed me: The trafic. Not so many cars, but many tricycles and motorbikes. Alongside the walking path along the white beach, these motorbikes were not allowed, but on the mainroad, it was worse than beeing in Manila! I had to walk (or use tricycles)on this road every day from my hotel (when transport was not available from the hotel) Paradise Bay. This hotel is situated in a quiet bay 15 minutes (walking) from white beach. A very nice place, quiet.
Beautifully situated. All the rooms had beautiful view over the bay, with palmtrees in the foreground. On the white beach you melt in the sun, but on this place, with a nice breeze, I think it is better. But a disadvantage is the distance, but the price for a room for what you get in quality, is very good. Similar quality on the white beach would cost the double of what you are paying at this place.

Stayed at Manila Diamond Hotel - Manila, Philippines.
|
I was on a business trip and a bit concerned with security (courtesy of some "over-the-top" advisories from the U.S. Embassy at the time of my visit) so I used a hotel cab with AC driven by a friendly fellow who knew the Metro area, could read and spoke passable English. The rates were RP peso 450 an hour (about US$8.50/hr) and the service was highly satisfactory and from my perspective, "cheap". However, more adventurous souls have recourse to the "Jeepneys", the small public transport vehicles that clog Manila's streets. My understanding is that these are available for c. 10 cents per kilometer!
