Hello Fellow Sissies,

Please share naman latest feedbacks on Golden Crown especially on their discounted tickets on theme parks and other tourist attractions.  Is the prices on their website is still the same as of today?
Also if we are going to Macau for a day trip, what would be the most affordable turbojet or cotaijet?
Which craft has a terminal near Golden Crown and how much is the Roundtrip tickets.  Thanks in advance.

^I am not sure sis if updated pa yung prices ng discounted tickets nila. Better email them to make sure. Pero when we stayed there, I didn't avail Ocean park tickets from them kasi may nakuha nako sa China Travel Service (CTS) sa HK airport palang. But we're so glad that they have discounted tickets of ngong ping! Hindi lang siya discounted, voucher na siya agad and will save you LOTS of time lining up sa Ngong ping! As in we skipped the line for the tickets, pila na agad sa harap ng counter with their voucher! Direcho na kami sa line going to the cable car!

About ferries to macau, sis you can actually walk from golden crown to china ferry terminal along canton road! Bale when you're in nathan road from the guesthouse, walk away from nathan and towards canton road, then turn right and makikita mo naman yung building that says china ferry terminal (or ask the guards, that's what we did). Tapos sis when you're in the departure area na, sa dulo yung tickets to ferries. May mga windows dun ibat ibang ferry services where you can buy tickets, BUT dont buy sa kanila, instead, look for people standing infront of those windows selling tickets at a lower price! Basta legit sila kasi sa harap mismo ng windows sila nagbebenta and may hawak silang super daming tickets! What I did was check sa LED screens ng windows for the price of a ferry to macau, then ask the person standing how much he's selling the tickets, eh mas mababa talaga ng mga HK30/ticket so we got it na! You dont have to be afraid naman kasi andun din lang ang departure area and mababalikan mo agad yung person na yun if ever hindi tanggapin yung ticket mo upon check-in. The time on the ticket you bought MAY BE EARLIER than your actualy departure time. Sa ticket namin, 5PM ang alis pero tinanggap naman kami sa 3PM departure. My dad was the one who taught me this kasi they were in HK a month ahead of me and he found out about those discounted tickets

dont worry na about kung anong ferry ang mas mura, pare-pareho lang most of them like turbojet and cotaijet, basta kung san ka makabili ng TO MACAU na discounted

^^ Sis nag booked kami ng family ko sa Golden Crown, so far wala pa naman sila changes sa Room rates nila. Compare mo na lang price nila ng discounted tickets with CTS.

@vanekski Sis, nagreply si Kenny sa email ko and said that they're under golden crown. If you notice Golden Crown & New Yiu Fai has the same fax number sa website nila tapos magkaiba yun check-in rooms ng New Yiu Fai and Yiu Fai. Will let you know once we arrived sa March. Hoping lang na renovated talaga yun rooms nila.

[mhitchy]

hello pink_baby thanks for the info appreciate your sharing.  I will now email golden crown for the updated list. 
Thanks din sa tips sa fast craft tickets going to Macau. Minsan kasi pag mga discounted tickets mejo doubtful.

Thanks pampa2: as per the rates i booked last October (yata) the rates is just HK$400/night for a renovated couple room now its rate is HK$420/night... i guess lucky me to booked months ahead.

Thanks sis!

My friend and I are planning to have a hongkong-macau trip. If ever matuloy, its our first time to travel outside the Philippines kaya parehas kaming natatakot pa. Nagbabrowse ako ng mga tour packages sa sulit and may mga nakikita naman akong affordable na package na, exclusive of the airfare, pero may kasama ng airport transfer, hotel accom, disneyland, then add on na lang if mag mamacau or go to other attractions. Natatakot kasi kami mag DIY eh baka kung saan saan kami makarating kaya mas gusto namin package na. Okay lang kaya yun? Also kung di naman kami mag shashopping, mga how much kaya ang ibabudget naming pocket money for the whole trip. Siguro 4 to 5 days including the macau trip. Yung hotel stay breakfast lang ang kasama. So we have to spend for the other meals.

^ when ang plan trip nyo? mga DIY na lang kayo, just do your research well and study the maps etc. you can go the PEX forum and read pages 1-2 ng HK thread, the have a complete guide there as in dami mong info na makukuha starting from pagbaba mo ng plane sa HKIA.
maliit lang ang HK and their train system is very convenient meron pa journey planner sa site nila to give you the direction from Point A to Point B.
now if you do not want to backread eh join a tour na nga lang.

[sansan]

Hi mga sis,

Can I ask for the email address of Golden Crown please? Inquire din sana ako for hotel rates and availability. Thanks

[msals2007]

Around May or June pa. Yes nagbabackread nga din ako for information. Problema lang parehas kaming takot ng kasama kong mag explore explore lalo na nasa ibang bansa pa.

[prettybarbie]

^ wag ka matakot sis, Hong Kong is a relatively safe place... wala ditong hold upan like sa Pilipinas, kahit maglakad lakad ka sa gabi safe ka. Madali lang din naman pag aralan yung MTR. Try mo muna mag research mare-realize mo madali lang pala, and if you have any question post mo lang dito.

and by the way mas malaki matitipid mo pag nag DIY ka.

Sis, mag DIY trip na lang kayo. Tourist friendly naman mga signs dun sa hk. Tsaka karamihan ng tourist attractions nakaconnect sa mtr nila. Basta may mtr, di ka mawawala.
Balita ko pag nag package tour kayo, may compulsory tour sa jewelry factory bago kayo bigyan Ng Disneyland tix..e Hindi naman yun isa sa tourist attraction.

Hi! Just want to ask if the  perks in booking a kingdom club room at hong kong disneyland hotel worth the price? I have booked a garden view room already with breakfast and dinner buffet at enchanted garden but i'm thinking if i'm going to upgrade our room to kingdom club? Around 14k pesos din kasi difference for our 3 nights stay. Yummy ba food sa kingdom club lounge? Ok ba yung ibang activities for kids? Thanks

[prettybarbie]

^ sis ang difference lang kasi aside sa breakfast e yung free drinks and snacks all day... yung snacks nila bale fruits, cookies and chocolates... may mga appetizers bandang 6 pm plus wines and beers. Then yung activities gagawa sila ng mickey hats, story telling, tapos andon din si mickey sa gabi. Sa umaga naman andon din yung princess sa kingdom lounge.  Kung 3 nights kayo pa ugrade na lang kayo sa last night nyo don, for experience lang...

Pero kahit di kayo magpa upgrade makikita nyo pa din naman yung mga characters sa enchanted garden and madami din naman activities magagawa hotel. Kids can play in the garden maze or swim in the heated swimming pool.

[princess lorraine]

^thanks so much sis prettybarbie! Pinag iisipan ko rin nga kasi we might spend most of our time at the park din so baka hindi rin namin masulit. Thanks sis! 

[POTPOT28]

hi! has anyone here stayed at USA Hostel? how was it? thanks! 

[prettybarbie]

korek, maganda lang kasing tambayan yung kingdom lounge, pero okay din naman tumambay sa lobby, relaxing din naman may orchestra pa. Atsaka sayang din 14k pang shopping na din yon... By the way yung resto sa may pool mejo mura don yung mga food (HKD 50-60 hamburger seat), tapos yung mga snacks sa hollywood and dine sa hollywood hotel mura lang din (HKD25 noodles).

[princess lorraine]

^thanks so much for the tips sis prettybarbie!  buti may mga murang kainan naman pala dun.

May nakapagtry na ba sa inyo na maghanap ng affordable hostel/hotel sa mismong araw pagdating nyo sa HK?
