Manila Hotel Info wanted

[Gilligan]

I'll be returning to the Philippines in late August.

My travels will require me to be in and out of the Manila airport with overnight stays a few times during this trip.

I would appreciate the names of any reasonably priced hotels in Manila.

What's your budget? There are a few hotels near the airport if you want to avoid the traffic (depending on what time you need to get to the airport) but there is not much there to see or do. If you don't mind the traffic, you have the five stars in Makati (Shangri-la, Penninsula...) as well as some other nice 3-4 star hotels within walking distance to some of the main shopping areas. You could probably get a room at the Mandarin Oriental for around $100.

Here's a list of hotels in Manila/ Makati...

You can book your hotel through there, gives a breakdown by price and location....

WE did the Holiday Inn in Ortigas, $74 a night i think... 5 star!!! yes, never mind the name holiday inn...

Also another one in Makati, City Garden, was around $60, also very nice

We stayed at the Intercontinental and it was nice but I think we will try the Peninsula next time. We were only there overnight.

Dear Gilligan,

Not sure if you remember (long time ago), but when I first joined SB I pestered you for photo advice. Owing to my innate ability to murder cameras, I was unable to get very far, despite your excellent assistance.

I'll be in the Philippines on the photo course mentioned above from 23rd August - 30th August, it would be a pleasure to meet up if our schedules match. Any chance of a quick dart South to join us for a dive?
