Stayed at Astoria Plaza - Manila, Philippines.
|
Staying in Pasig area near the Shangri la mall, which the Astoria Plaza is, or in the Makati area would be best suited for most western travelers as these areas tend to be cleaner and many things are within walking distance.

Stayed at Oakwood Premier Ayala Centre - Manila, Philippines.
|
A short walk to Greenbelt 2 where many great restaurants are located. Italiannis is a staple when you want Italian food. Sugi is very good Japanese and Kai is very good pan-asian. Power Plant in Rockwell is where I love to bowl and shop. Very high end and not so crowded. Shopping at the Fort is a great experience and Greenhills is expanding, that is one of the best places to shop and eat. The Ayala museum is a must see and Casa De Manila is also a good tourist spot as the St. Augustine church and Fort Santiago oh, don't forget the Manila Hotel for a nice buffet lunch and the Champange roon for an elegant dinner.

Excellent shopping. Enjoyed Greenbelt & Glorietta as well as the bargain hunting at Divisoria near Sta Cruz. Visited Tagaytay & Matabungkay for a day trip. Went on the road up the west coast stopping at Vigan & Laoag.

Stayed at Citadel Inn Makati - Manila, Philippines.

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.

Stayed at Pan Pacific Hotel Manila - Manila, Philippines.
|
Knockoffs in Robinsons Mall (about a block & a half away) beat anything seen in HKG or BKK or Chiang Mai. Great shopping. Fort Santiago is a bore, but should have taken hydrofoil to Corregidor. Flew direct from India, so street hawkers and beggars went almost unnoticed, but expect it, anyway.

Stayed at City Garden Suites Manila - Manila, Philippines.
|
The jeepney, LRT and MRT were the only modes of transportation we took around Manila. We highly recommend these as oppose to taxis. The day trip to Corregidor was exceptional. We also took a guided tour to Banaue, Bontoc and Sagada. While we do not recommend the guided tour by Lakbay (too expensive, guide not knowledgeable at all about the sights), the Banaue rice terraces and the hanging coffins in Sagada are well worth seeing. The Saturday Market in Banaue was a very interesting experience - many sellers drove for hours to sell their wares - ducks, chickens, tobacco, etc.

Stayed at Orchid Garden Suites - Manila, Philippines.

LRT and MRT are quickest but very crowded at peak periods and impracticable if you have anything but hand luggage.

Stayed at Fraser Place Serviced Residences - Manila, Philippines.

The Philippines is a beautiful country to visit, a lot of white sand beaches to see and hospitality at its best. 5-star hotels in Canada, USA and Europe can't compare to the service provided in Philippine hotels.
