And here I go with my latest escapes to the East, that is Asia and of course lovely Philippines. Let me do this post just on the hotels I patronized while visiting there this past week.
So having told you about the airports now comes the lodging and hotels are plenty in previous trips, and posted in my blog. This time tried all new hotels so my vocabulary of Filipino hotels is expanding lol!
I arrived after a long flight as usual lately to Cebu city in the island of Cebu, Philippines. My hotel here was a dandy connected to a Robinson’s shopping mall. This was the Summit Galleria Cebu hotel. The official webpage is here: Summit Galleria Hotel Cebu
This was great as the rooms are spacious, and the indoor heated pool wonderful; the restaurant Providore. The Robinsons Galleria Cebu lifestyle complex, and Summit Galleria Cebu hotel offers a direct access to the Robinsons shopping mall occupying levels 4 to 14 of Robinsons Place Mall. A wonderful combination which I enjoyed very much! More on the mall here: Robinson Galleria Mall Cebu
While at Manila, I stayed at the Microtel by Wynham hotel another dandy property centrally located next to the biggest mall in the Philippines, Mall of Asia. The webpage is here: Microtel by Wynham Manila
Located in the Mall of Asia shopping complex in Manila. It features an outdoor swimming pool and restaurant. It is a 15-minute drive from Ninoy Aquino International Airport. The mall provides a cinema as well as shops and restaurants. Pasay district is a great choice for travellers interested in food, shopping for clothes and restaurants. And it was very convenient for a night out of live music nearby. Webpage for Mall of Asia here: SM Mall of Asia Manila
While at Cauayan in Isabela province I stayed at a more modest hotel the Tapi traveler’s hotel. Huge executive room and bath thus, and a simple cafeteria restaurant with outdoor swimming pool. The main page of the hotel is here: Japi Travelers’ Hotel Cauayan
Very nice friendly service here and a shuttle to the airport for free. The place is quiet fora relaxing stay over in your way to visit the caves which are very popular here even if I had no time to see them.
In all it was made easy because I was always with local people and moving by car so the experience will be different if independant travel was done. However, all recommended.
And remember, happy travels, good health, and many cheers to all!!!
