PALAWAN (AMANPULO)

[Yui_21]

Masyadong matunog ang amanpulo not only here in the Philippines but also around the world...has anyone tried this "private" island?

[Frozen Toes]

I haven't. But I know of a group of people who went there last summer. I believe there were 15 of them. Their total bill was (drumroll, please) P 1.6+ Million.

I heard from radio yesterday that BRANGELINA vacationed in AMANPULO, not sure when. And they said regular Joes won't be able to afford AMANPULO

^^Sis frozen toes, how long did they stay there?

[lady_sunscreen]

haayyyss... ang mahal talaga.. can't afford.. Wala bang magpro-promo dyan na isa sa mga prizes 3d 2n sa amanpulo... hehehhe.. 

[yikee]

last year when we were in puerto princesa and while having dinner sa ka lui, may frames sila don featuring amanpulo..  i read that time may nakalagay na promo rate ang amanpulo.. as far as i can remember 180k-200k per person for 3d/2n.. i didn't bother to read further as to the inclusions since nalurkey na ko agad! hehe

may former officemate akong nagwork sa Amanpulo dati. wala daw or bihira ang Pinoys na nagpupunta dun kasi nga sobrang mahal. pero some of the locals that she spotted there were Edu Manzano and Pinky Webb (regular sila nagpupunta dun). as far as i remember pati sila tintin at julius babao, aga and charlene, tapos mga politicians at mayayamang tao dito sa Pinas.

but even dun sya nagwowork bawal sila makihalubilo sa guests, hindi pwedeng pakalat-kalat sila sa area na hindi sakop ng work nila, bawal sila tumingin sa mata ng guests kung makakasalubong nila pero dapat bumati sila, at lalong bawal sila magswim dun sa beach kung may guests. di sila pwede basta-basta gumamit ng amenities sa resort, though may konting discount sila. sabi pa nya sakin, matagal sya nagwork dun pero never pa sya naka-experience na maging guest dun dahil sobrang mahal kahit may discount sila.

[lennix]

Is this Pinoy or foreign owned? Target market yata talaga nila sobrang mayayaman

[yikee]

^^ grabe ang daming bawal for an employee.. so basically tatakamin ka lang while nagwowork ka don 

[juana_antonia]

Exclusivity is what you're paying for in Amanpulo, at ang mahal na pala ngayon niyan.

[ayionick]

pagkakaalam ko hindi pinoy ang may-ari. hindi din daw pwede na walang reservation kung pupunta ka dun. kasi private yung sea/air transfer nila. di ko maalala kung saang island susunduin yung guest eh.

^^Sis frozen toes, how long did they stay there?

Only 3 or 4 days. Crazy expensive. I'll go here probably sa honeymoon ko na. Haha. Honeymoon with myself.

Amanpulo is one of the luxury hotels under Aman Resorts founded by  Indonesian-Czech Adrian Zecha. Dami nang int'l celebrities nakapunta dito to enjoy their well deserved privacy.

Before may promo silang P50,000/night. Steep pa rin. Maganda nga naman siya but for it's rate, I'd rather go to Europe nalang. I don't need to pay a high price for my privacy. Di naman ako celeb. 

[Frozen Toes]

^ Amen to that.

[health.gal]

i wonder...magkano kaya service charge ng mga nagtratrabaho dito? malamang mas malaki pa sa ilang executives in small companies 

[jhoanneaganda]

naku sinearch ko talaga sya... 1,000 US dollars per person sila... per day huh... breakfast only and ala carte na dinner... hindi included ang lunch... oh my.... 3 days ang minimum stay nila. nakakaloka... and may service charge sila and may VAT pag filipino resident.... grabe naman

[health.gal]

^sis plus 400 USD / person pa for transfers 

[girl_to_mom]

[ayionick]
