Hotels in Manila

-
Metro Manila has become one of the most popular travel destinations in Asia.  Tourists come here for various reasons.  Some would be here for a short stop before going to their real destination which is probably one of the small islands in the country, well, especially for the sun-worshippers.  Whatever is the reason for one's travel, finding a suitable accommodation is one of the things to consider.  Many factors should be considered also in finding a suitable accommodation.  One of the considerations is the budget you have allocated for the accommodation, be it budget or sky is the limit. And your choice of hotel should jive with your purpose of coming to Manila.  Personally, if it is a business trip then I would book at a hotel that serves breakfast or has included breakfast in the payment per room as it will save me time which I could use for preparing for the business meetings that I should be attending.  However, if my schedule is really liberal and I don't have any pressing meeting/conferences to attend, I would rather book at condominiums which rent out rooms for daily rates.  Condominium units can be rented for as low as $70 per night.  If you intend to stay longer then  you can even ask for discounted rates.  These condominium units are managed by property managers.  One of the advantages of renting a condo unit is you can do your own cooking if you prefer that because most of the condo units have complete kitchen and home facilities.  If you are meticulous about your food intake and don't want to eat at restos, then you can prepare your own food and buy your own provisions at the mall or grocery, especially if you really can take your sweet time around Manila.  You can also do your own laundry if you want to save laundry payment.   Now, if your schedule is really tight and you have no time to make your favorite salad/breakfast, or make your favorite drink then hotels with free breakfast and buffet meals will be the perfect answer for your busy lifestyle. Hotels in Manila range from economy hotels to suite hotels and of course the rate also is commensurate to their quality and standard.  So the next time you travel, plan your accommodation carefully and don't be too stingy that you will end up renting a room at a place that you will regret after.

Circle of Fun is the Latest attraction in Quezon City Memorial Circle

I was in Quezon Memorial Circle this afternoon and I chanced upon this mini amusement center currently being constructed inside the big Quezon City landmark.  This new attraction at the QCMC showcases thrilling rides like the Wild Wind.  This is actually like the Space Shuttle of Enchanted Kingdom in Santa Rosa, Laguna.  It is a modified form of the traditional roller-coaster.  There are also rides for the little ones like the usual water bump cars.  And the horror rides which I will dare not ride because I do not have the kind of heart that can withstand intense fear.   While I laud the Quezon City government for this endeavor of providing a small amusement park for the residents of Quezon City so that they do not have to go all the way to Star City or Enchanted Kingdom to be able to experience the different rides, I can't help but feel dismayed over the changes in the scenery inside the memorial.  I frequented the place way, way back when I lived near UP Campus to en

Astig ang ATV sa Mt. Mayon!

    One of the reasons that tourists go to Mt. Mayon in droves is the ATV Adventure.   This activity allows tourists to go to the foot of Mt.  Mayon and see the beauty of this great lady up close by means of an all-terrain vehicle.  Up there, visitors can also enjoy the view of the city of Legaspi.  They can also savor the scent of the clean mountain air and get lots and lots of photographs amid the verdant background.  ATV stands for all-terrain vehicle.  This transportation is especially built to enable riders to get past all kinds of terrain , may it be rough, rocky, watery, sandy, muddy, hilly, etc.  It is basically automatic, but it also has gears (I wouldn't know when to use them, if you ask me.)    Before I started my three-hour drive to the foot of Mt. Mayon, I had a quick dry-run just to test if the machine was working well.  Also I made sure that  I was wearing all the necessary gears to keep me safe and unharmed throughout the entire adventure like helmet, etc.

Get a load of the dramatic Zambales sunset at Bakasyunan sa Baybay Dagat. Bakasyunan sa Baybay Dagat is located at Barrio Amungan in Iba, Zambales about 4 hours drive from Manila. Bakasyunan is amazing since its waters were never deep and always lukewarm, that you always want to submerge yourself under them. You can go as far as 300 meters from the shore but not fear you'd drown. This is a view of the sea at Zambales. It is kept clean by a regular beach clean-up. Aside from swimming in the beach, visitors can amuse themselves at the many recreational facilities that Bakasyunan offers. One of them is the fishing lagoon. Visitors can also try putting at this mini-golf-course. Or try a volleyball game or two. And take a quick dip in the inviting pool, anytime of the day. Bakasyunan in Zambales has facilities that would accomodate everyone from all walks of life. Like this medium-sized hut which is ideal for families. And smaller huts which is good for smaller groups or couples. Th
