Manila Hotels

[Mr Hawaii]

I'm spending a couple of days in January in Manila on my way back to the US and I will be flying a cutie from Davao that I've been talking to for several weeks up to spend those days with me. No advice on that part needed. My advice is looking for a decent hotel near the airport. I've stayed at a couple that were okay, but nothing special. Free airport transfer for us would be great, as would a restaurant. Near the airport is good because we both have morning flights on a Monday with bad traffic. Any advice of places would be good! As always, cheaper is better if quality is okay.

Google the Heritage Hotel. See if that meets your requirements. No free shuttle to airport, but they have free shuttle to Mall of Asia, 3 or 4 x a day.

BTW, Belmont, Savoy and Holiday Inn Express all have on premises restaurants.

From Belmont you can walk over the sky bridge to Terminal 3.

From Savoy you could walk over to T3 but it would be pretty dangerous to jaywalk across multiple lanes of 2 way traffic. Have the doorman get a Grab car for you 100 pesos. Or take a taxi out front 100-200 pesos.

From Holiday Inn have the doorman get you a taxi 200 pesos.

Taxis from either hotels to Terminal 2 will be 300-500 pesos plus 45 for the skyway.

She will need a credit card or 1-2 k cash deposit to be booked in.

Not all hotels require that.

Savoy Hotel doesn't require a CC or deposit.

Holiday Inn Express does not require CC or deposit.

There 3 nearby hotels to Terminal 3. Priced $60-95 a night. All with free decent buffet breakfast for 2.

Belmont Hotel. It is near the bridge way over to terminal 3. Pretty decent hotel. They do check for ID's.

Savoy Hotel. A little newer hotel. Just show your ID when checking in and have your girl sit nearby.

Holiday Inn Express. A little further but still convient to terminal 3. This one is the nicer of the 3. Same ID check in as Savoy.

All hotels do not have a shuttle to the terminals. Just take a taxi.

Only just got there, so didn't do much yet, not much to report on what I mean to say so that will follow.

But I ended up booking City Garden Grand, they claim 5-star, I'd say I'd be a 4* but fine. It's quite good, room is more spacious than I thought it would, and already noticed it's definity girlfriendly. Some guys with their ladies walked up and got in the elevator when I was checking in, nobody even looked or blinked at them. But I do believe you need to escort them up yourself elevators are locked with your keycard.

I might extend in Manila and may switch to the New Coast in Ermita, I did see that one before too. Let's see how the first few days here will go haha.

Hi all,

In a couple weeks I'll head to Philippines for the first time, yay. I have a couple of weeks in total, but I'll figure most of what I'm going to do as I'm there, but all that should go into another topic. This one is for Manila Hotels.

So, for a first timer in Manila, where to stay at? From what I've researched there is 2 main choices? Go near La Cafe or near P Burgos?

On the Hotels price / quality wise I keep coming back to either Manila Palace Hotel or City Garden Grand Hotel. I think I've seen both been suggested before somewhere in this topic as being friendly for bringing a friend.

I'm not a big one on bars, going to give the dating apps a shot LOL. So that made me think the La Cafe area might be better? But pricewise I keep going back to those two LOL.

But maybe you guys have another good suggestion? Besides it being a clean place obviously, I really have only 1 thing I really look for: A bathroom with a separate walk in shower (absolutely hate tub showers). If there is a tub, fine nice extra, just a separate shower LOL. And not so much a requirement, but cool bonus, high building with ground to ceiling windows.

New coast hotel Ermita around the block from LA cafe. 5 star hotel with shower as well as bathtub. Totally girlfriendly. Have to escort to your room because only your key will have access to your floor. No walk of shame here. Best price on trip.com. Excellent breakfast for two. Since it is a casino hotel there are lots of freelancers at hotel lobby as well as casino. I have seen some punters with three girls going up in elevator.

Hey, where did you end up staying?? I have stayed at the Raffles or Makati Diamond residences before. Really nice and not far at all from Burgos. I'm always open to other places so I'd be interested in where you stayed. Cheers!

I'm going to be back in Manila in December. I was thinking about having my girl check in for me so that things are ready when I get there, especially since the place we will stay is near where she stays and has checkin 3-8 pm and I don't arrive until 10 pm. I haven't booked here yet. Is this something that is possible if the place is booked under my name?

Is this a residence? A hotel? It might matter. I am guessing a condo, given the check-in time (hotels can usually check in anytime). If its an airbnb, you will have to pre-register the girl via airbnb, by sending a copy of her valid ID thru airbnb.

As to hotels. Its hit / miss. Some places will allow this with cash. Other places might insist that the one who made the reservation actually checks in. Aggregate sites like Booking or Agoda might also have specific policies regarding this.

Either way, you could just call or contact the owner or residence in advance and ask?

[Dg8787]

She will need a credit card or 1-2 k cash deposit to be booked in.

Not all hotels require a CC or cash deposit.

After all that you can't advance 2 k to her for the deposit?

I have visited MNL often over the years. Just prior to the start of Covid (November of 2019) I pulled a Smooci girl that has been above and beyond. Mid-30's, bisexual, divorced, busty, and beautiful. We hit it off unlike anyone else. I'm not a rube. I've had others tried to "work" me in PH, Thailand, and China.

While there in 2019 she brought several of her horny, semi-pro girlfriends in for 3 somes. A good time was had by all.

This has made any hotel a monger-friendly hotel. My girl registers with me on day one, and when anyone shows up as a thirdy she goes down to security and brings her "girlfriends" in without anyone batting an eye.

After Manila reopened in March 2022, we've been in five different upscale hotels around the city without issue.

Just book the hotel room in her name.

She will need a credit card or 1-2 k cash deposit to be booked in.

First most hotels either require a cash deposit or if there is room service, spas etc a credit card. Once she registers she has free reign if she wants.
