Refrigerator, DVD/Karaoke, TV and cable, inhouse channel (wink wink). First class c.r , aircon and hot water. The double occupancy including kids rooms were P1570 6 mo. ago and include 2 free meals.

Q. I looked it up on Expedia.com and its about $2000 for round trip flight and hotel in Manila, but how much extra money should I bring for food and other things for about 5-7 days for 2 people? A. Food : 2 people can have a good, proper meal at P1,000 or P3,000 per day. That means P21,000 for 7 days, or US$466. You can cut that down to half if you eat in more modest restaurants, or spend less than a quarter of that if you have your meals in fast food chains. If you stay just 5 days, take the proportion from this 7-days budget that I estimated. Other things : This is vague. But if I assume just transportation cost, you could get by with P500 a day for the two of you, taking public transportation. If you will be taking taxis to nearby locations, then maybe you should budget P1,000 per day. That makes P7,000 for 7 days, or US$ 155. Any Manila Hotel with Jacuzzi in the Room Available? Q.

Hey, congratulations on finding a beatiful Pinay. Honestly, if you are staying at a hotel, ou should make the reservation, but put the room under her name and ID card - that way the room is associated to her name - of course you will pay at the end and give your credit card for security. However, the best way to avoid the crappy looks that you will get is to rent a condo for short term. Just check Craigslist for rentals, I rent a condo everytime I go back anyway, You have way more freedom, it is ch...
