A friend didn't have problems at Central Park hotel. He was bringing different ones everyday.

Value was slightly better back then, perhaps, but it's still good. The problem is more that the fiat dollar is on a slippery slope since Nixon abandoned the gold standard to "fix inflation". But maybe Brandon fixes this now.

Posts: 695Strictly no visitors WTF?
I just recieved a laundry list of covid measures from my AC hotel. Unfortunately my regular (very visitor friendly) AC hotel is currently closed, so I have no idea how these guys handle visitors, but usually this is of course no issue in AC. So now I'm getting this pre-arrival list including "strictly no visitors". What is worse, when finecombing their reviews I see that some guys complain about actually being strict, so it may not even be flexible, PH-AC style.
Any current experiences re this? Which hotels are currently visitor friendly?

Best rates in Ph will always be for foreign cash.
I am sure there is advantages other than the direct exchange margin for money operators in Ph staying outside of regulated trading.
I recall lining up at a counter in Ph where the pretty girl in front of me had handfuls of various currencies to exchange to peso. Seems she had a multi-national good night.

Posts: 84Thanks. Let me check and report back
Thanks Mr. E and PM for your insight. If my plan materializes, I'll convert partly from ringgit to php and partly from ringgit to usd to php and see what gives the best value. It's not going to be significantly different but for academic interest.

Coming from Malaysia it would be better for you to convert your currency to USD or Euro before leaving, then Pesos once you are in Philippines. My cousin used to live in Malaysia because his wife is from there. He came to Thailand with Ringgit and people were looking at him crazy at the local exchanges. Nobody was in the market for Malaysian currency. Also I remember the horrible deal I got at the airport in Indonesia when I changed their currency directly into Thai baht.

However, given the sheer level of Phil remittances and Malaysia and Phils are close, that may not be the case.
