^Bdo sana pag possible.  Mataas nga rate sa HK, meron daw sa may Central ok din daw exchange rate.

^Thank you sis sa feedback mo. Hotel Benito sana kami kaso hindi ko lang kinaya yung most recent na review from TripAdvisor from a fellow Filipino. Ang nipis daw ng sheets at butas butas yung towels na binigay and may mga hair strands yung bed.

Malapit na din ba ang BP sa MTR sis?

Stayed at Hotel Benito several times hindi ko naman na encounter yung ganyan, I guess pag ganun papalitan mo ang towels and sheets.  Maganda kasi ang location ni Hotel Benito. 

[swtgrl_bee]

^sis kelan yung huling stay mo Hotel Benito? Ang anong room sis ang kinukuha mo sa kanila?

March 26 travel dates namin, when is the best time kaya mag pa book sisses?

[minnie99]

^ As early as possible. Lalo na for the good locations, ang bilis maubusan.

[bebesko]

bakit po kaya nawala yung post ko last night?,,anyway,,repost ko na lang po
mga sis ask ko lang kung may nakapag try na pong bumili ng discounted tickets sa GC guesthouse kahit walk-in lang at walang room reservations sa kanila?..mas prefer ko po kasi mag cash payment kaysa thru online (via paypal,cc..etc).

Hi sis! San mo balak bumili ng tickets? plan kasi din namin this March 11-13. Thanks!

[omneecka]

^@sis bebesko, ako sis. we bought tickets in GC even though we did not stay in their guesthouse. okay naman sis. di naman exclusive sa guesthouse clients nila ang attraction tickets nila. we also tried to purchase tickets online sa website nila but that time no need for downpayment pa. as in reservation lang nung tickets sa website nila. that time din (not sure if ganun pa rin ngayon) is 5 to 10 hkd cheaper if you'll reserve online that if you'll buy walk in.

HTH 😊😊

saan kaya kami pwede mag-dinner if 9pm na dating namin sa TST? bukas pa kaya fastfood like cafe de coral?

[omneecka]

hi sis! marami pang open na resto nyan around TST by that time. not sure though with cafe de coral resto. sa building ng chungking mansion kami dati nakapag-try ng cafe de coral na around TST Nathan Road. nung 11 pm kami dumating madami pang open na resto and may streetfoods din kaming nakita like yung mga naka-tusok sa stick.

HTH 😊😊

[swtgrl_bee]

Sis thedukeana, March 26-30 travel dates namin. Sis pa update naman ng weather sa travel dates niyo ah?  Para makapag ready ako ng tamang outfit. May kid kasi akong kasama.  I am still comparing rates kung saan ako makakatipid lalo eh.

Sorry late reply, kakauwi ko lang from HK, stayed at Holiday Inn this time, anyway...
Ilan ba kayo? depende kasi, maliit kasi rooms sa benito, stayed there last May 2016.

Magbook na kayo, kasi minsan pag mas malapit tumataas rates.

Regarding Disney Tickets:  Minsan may murang promo sa website mismo ng Disney, like yung kinuha namin is 540hkd (adult rate) with food ng kasama at drinks, eh, wala ka naman mabibiling lunch sa disney na less than 100. so for me sulit na yun, do check out the promos =)

Ichiran is open 24 hours =)  may mga mcdo na bukas 24 hours =)

[swtgrl_bee]

Sis sweety_paige, tatlo kami. Ako, husband and my daughter na 7 year-old sa travel dates namin.

[sweety_paige]

^kasya na kayo sa Standard Twin

[swtgrl_bee]

^Thank you sis. I am on a budget kasi lalo na ang mahal na ng HKD if buying using PHP. Ayaw ko din mag spend ng sobra sobra sa accommodation. Pero gusto ko naman comfortable kami after ng isang araw na galaan. Sis paano ka nagbayad sa kanila? They don't accept payment online daw kasi. They are asking for CC information? As in ganun lang yun? Then full payment sa hotel?

[sweety_paige]

Yup, credit card then they will charge you na, from my experience safe naman siya.  Shamrock hotel is ok din, malapit lang sa Mtr.

[glyzza026]

Huhu naubusan na kami sa golden crown. Any reviews po sa Hao's Inn? Same bldg lang daw sila ng golden crown. Naghahanap ako ng reviews pero konti lang nabasa ko. Safe kaya magbook sa hotels.com at expedia?
Thanks.

[kittycat228]

need pa ba ng jacket if along tst lang kami maglilibot and sa citygate outlet?

Nakakapagod daw kasi if pagdikitin ng days ang Disneyland and Ocean Park, kaya we plan na lang to shop around TST in between the days.  Any other place we should visit? What do you think sissies? BTW super lamig kaya sa travel dates naming? 22 C temp sa Tagaytay eh super lamig na for me hehhehe Should we bring gloves and beanies pa? or OA na ba yun? Thanks sissies sa makakasagot.

[jefsie10]

^ ilan taon na daughter mo ang ilan kayo sa group?

after the peak you can ride star ferry to tst, close ang avenue of stars pero dun sa may clock tower puede picture picture para may harbour view katabi lang ito ng star ferry terminal sa tst side.

if you really want to go to nanlian puede nyo isingit during your day 3, hindi nyo sya puede isabay sa ocean park kasi magkalayo yun. If ever na day 4 kayo ocean park you should leave the park early since babalik pa kayo sa golden crown to get your luggage. Dapat at least 5:30-6:00 nakasakay na kayo ng bus to airport if hindi kayo mag aairport express.

[triciaaamaldita]

Better ba if sa banks here sa PH or pagdating ko nalang dun sa HK?


Aaaand. Would anyone know the most convenient way of transpo going to The Peak? We would want to ride the tram We will be coming from Hotel 36 near Prince Edward.

Thank you!
