You can stay for less than half the price in hotels much closer to the airport and close to the ocean in Ermita. Makati is mostly high-rise buildings and huge shopping malls.

Taliman, Do you prefer Makati for some reason? I don't know anyone who has stayed at those hotels. I like staying on Roxas Blvd. (Ermita or Malate) because of the bay with the promenade, the view, and Harrison's Plaza or Robinson's. The Aloha Hotel is under $45 per night. The Manila Hotel with discount was $80 per night in the spring. I always used asia-travel.com. Good Luck, Title: Re: Re: Manila Hotel Help Post by: Taliman on October 31, 2001, 05:00:00 AM ... in response to Re: Manila Hotel Help, posted by Jimbo on Oct 31, 2001
Hi Jim, Her first time to Manila and we've been apart for over a year so would like our reunion to be a nice one. Yep, I used Asiatravel before and will use them again. Waiting for a response from them but forgot today is a holiday for them.

Taliman, Sorry, not familiar with those hotels either, but I agree with Jim, we use Asia-travel as well...always had great service! They can arrange airport transfers but they are usually $10.00 each way in a private car....more expensive than a cab...but less hassle than dealing with the throng of drivers! God Bless! |
