ay ayoko na din dyan... ano pa bang hotel offering membership na ok... meron ako before sofitel and mandarin... ngayon mandarin yun ni retain ko because of the freebies they gave me... thinking of getting sofitel ulit...

[Frozen Toes]

^ For me, Sofitel, Mandarin, and Peninsula ang pinakasulit because of the complimentary overnight accommodation.

Can't wait to try out Hotel Celeste. The "Celebrate Celestial Beginnings" promo is too sweet to pass up. I was blown away by the photos of the suite. So honeymoon-ish.

Hi mga sis, will be in Manila for 4 days for my bro's wedding. Kaso ayoko na magstay sa haus namin kaya I'm looking for a cheap hotel/apartelle.

We're a family of 4 and mas ok kung pwede magluto.

As in a place to stay lang talaga so no need na ng mga pool or kahit anong amenities. Pero yung medyo ok sana yung environment since I have a 4 yo kid.

May mairereco ba kayo around Pasig/mandaluyong/makati area?

Thanks!

[jhoanneaganda]

sis, try legend villas... sa may boni, mandaluyong... for me it's sulit na huh...

[Frozen Toes]

^^ Check out Astoria and Linden.

sharing my Thunderbird Resort - Rizal experience

Easy Breezy Day at Thunderbird

they have an ongoing promo for an overnight stay and day tour. a good alternative for an out of town trip.

We've booked astoria plaza, 3k/night lang separate pa sala sa room. May pool din naman sila at free breakfast din. Ok na kami ng family ko dito

We stayed at Peninsula Manila last 28 August 2010. We used the complimentary overnight certificate included in our membership package and added P1,226 for an upgrade (from Superior to Deluxe). Buffet breakfast at Escolta included.

Sis can you share the inclusions in getting membership in mla pen? can't find it online eh.

also baka someone here knows the inclusions din of a sofitel membership and how much pa-advise naman.
thanks!

Have you ever given your CC details (CC #, expiry date and the CVV code) to the hotel when making reservations over the phone or by email? I'm wary about giving my CC info to the hotel but sometimes I really need to (but email is a no no for me, I prefer over the phone).

we just stayed at Dusit Thani Hotel last Nov. 2. i got the wine and dine membership for Php6,888. Okay yung agent ko kasi i just bought the membership last Friday, then nagamit na namin yung room ng Nov. 2 with free dinner buffet for 2 (plus my daughter) at basix restaurant. then may discount pa sa crossover buffet nila every sunday. plus many other benefits. i was thinking of upgrading to a junior suite by just adding Php900 pero baka babalik kami ng december dun ko na lang gamitin yung upgrade benefits ko.

for roughly 7k, okay na rin sya kasi marami ring inclusions. i was actually looking at sofitel accor card kaya lang last minute nga so hindi na pwede na nov. 2 ang hotel stay. good thing na rin at napunta sa Dusit kasi Sofitel is very pricey na to think na konti lang ang inclusive benefits.

PM me na lang if you want to get the number of my agent.

[barefoot_taka]

^ di pala pwede use agad? kasi plan namin na sana this weekend eh. will pm you sis
