This is a "blast from the past". I’ve decided that each and every Saturday I’ll republish one of my popular older post. Even though the site has many ways to look up data published years back, people aren’t always in a position to hunt around, so this will be yet another way to find things people are always looking for.
One of the first things you need to be concerned about if thinking of traveling to the Philippines is where to stay. There are dozens (perhaps more) services who will book hotels for you. As I come across good ones or not so good ones, I’ll point them out.
Based in Singapore with offices in the Philippines, Hong Kong and about 8 other locations is one of the oldest and best. I’ve been using them since the year 2000 and they haven’t let me down yet.
A weakness of their site is the inability to sort the results by price, and like every Asian booking concern I have come across, they are woefully weak on instant, on-line booking … although they do color code their results so you can quickly see the hotels that will give instant reservations.
They have a US toll free number and a direct UK number so you don’t have to fool around with international dialing … and I have found they answer emails quite quickly as well. An Asian-based firm who answers emails promptly and intelligently is indeed a good find.
Plan your stays wisely and always compare several suppliers, but don’t fail to get a quote from these guys. Recommended.
