Everytime we are in the city of Surigao, we chose to stay in Tavern because of its great location - with the rooms overlooking the sea.. sooo relaxing. PLUS, it's in the center of the city where you can walk to major establishments like Jerry's, other malls, the market (with the very delicious seafoods), fastfoods (Jollibee and ChowKing) and many more.. The hotel also has a great bar and has... (read more about Tavern Hotel)

Mergrande Ocean Resort is the best place to bring your kids in Davao City. They will certainly love it there :) We have brought hundreds of children to the resort already (for trainings, meetings, practices or just for fun and recreation). Yep, if you are traveling with your family or with your friends, this is a good place to have fun, swim and relax. The kids will love building sandcastl... (read more about Mergrande Ocean Resort)

What can you say about a fast food restaurant that sells pizza by the slice? clean, efficient, reasonably priced, good food? Nat's New York Pizzeria on Denman is all of the above. We saw them put to the extreme test during the Symphony of Fire fireworks festival when hundreds of people lined up to buy pizzas. The line moved quickly, people were served politely and efficiently and they never ran ou... (read more about Nat's New York Pizzeria)

My boss recently took his family on a trip to Fiji, with Tui Tai Adventure Cruises. He raves about it. He’s been on safaris in Africa, tours in the Galapagos, India, the Amazon, many exotic places, and he says Tui Tai is the absolute best he’s experienced. Their web site does look like it’s an amazing experience: www.tuitai.com. The web site shows they do a lot of good humanitarian thi... (read more about Tui Tai)

When we are in the city of friendship, Cagayan de oro City, we often hold our functions in the Harbor Lights Hotel mainly because of their frendly service, amenities and food :) And they have wonderful packages too. The hotel overlooks the sea, has a swimming pool and free wifi connection (a heaven for travbuddies). Unfortunately, there is no shoreline to walk along and the sea is not that good...

Staying in the mansion was like living in another era - another century. Vigan Heritage Mansion is indeed a century-old house, 118 years in fact and has been recently restored. Although old, the mansion has modern amenities to boast :) We learned of the mansion online when Neren and I finally decided to take a trip to Ilocos Sur and visit the historic city of Vigan. It was not an easy decision ... (read more about Vigan Heritage Mansion)

Oh, I miss this hotel - we have sooo many wonderful memories here with my old teammates :) Yep, when the entire team visits the metro, we love to stay here in Fernandina Hotel - perfect place for family hang outs and the 'barkada' (group of buddies). The 12-storey hotel is strategically located at the heart of Araneta Shopping Center, Cubao City and like the Fersal Inn, one can literaly walk... (read more about Fernandina 88 Suites Hotel Manila)

I can't believe I have not yet written a review for Fersal Inn when it's practically our home (with my colleagues) every time we are in Metro Manila. We even have hotel discounts for the organization because we are already 'suki' (frequent guests). Yep, when I am alone traveling to the city, I stay in Kabayan Hotel but when we are a group or even there are two of us, we usually stay at Fersal I... (read more about Fersal Inn)

I have enjoyed this restaurant on many occasions, often taking a friend to treat them to a delicious meal. The staff are young and friendly, the food is quite healthy without sacrificing flavor. I am not a vegetarian or raw foodie however the food here is so clean, I feel rejuvenated after a meal. Each menu item is named "I am _________". So for instance, one of my favorite dishes is called "I ... (read more about Cafe Gratitude)

This was my first stay at the Moana since it has changed management to Westin. The hotel is still beautiful, although not as lavishly decorated for Christmas as it was last year. I had requested a room in the Diamond Head wing, which we had previously. I was told by the front desk that we were upgraded to the Tower Wing, which I could not fully comprehend since the cost of the Oceanfront Diamond W... (read more about Moana Surfrider)
