Pampanga Hotel Reviews

Angeles City is like a giant, city-sized red-light district. If that''s what you''re after then you''re heading to the right place. You''ll probably be best off sticking to the classy places, like the Blue Nile and the Fairway and staying away from the low-end dives (whose names I can''t even remember). The Margarita Station is a great bar to just hang out at, drinking the Red Horse beer and trying the Mojo. San Fernando, with a decent sized mall, is located only 30 minutes away by car. Another thing to try would be the hike up to Mt. Pinatubo crater. The hike is 16 miles roundtrip over some rocky terrain, so I wouldn''t recommend it to everyone; but the end result is really breathtaking. Finally, don''t take Traveller''s Checks to Angeles City. Getting them changed is something of an ordeal (a 3-day one for me). US cash works just fine and can even be exchanged at the front desk of your hotel.
