We had a good time, and can definitely recommend the Philippines.  For us, it was just right, much quieter and cleaner than Thailand, with few foreigners, and almost no Australians around.  The weather was warm, but not humid – around 28-30 degrees every day, just right.

 

Manila was good, we shopped a lot, they have many fancy shopping malls.  The food everywhere was really really good, we enjoyed every meal.  Best food was on the 34th floor of the Citibank building, with great views of the city.  We were there for Chinese New Year, so got to enjoy the celebrations too. 

 

Boracay was extra special and was the highlight of the trip. The Shangri-La resort and the island itself were really charming and enjoyable – we voted it our best holiday spot ever.  (It is quite painful to get there, waiting around at airports and bumpy bus rides, but very worth it once you get there.  It is beautiful.)  Mason and I had our very first speedboat ride to get to the island which was very exciting, and very James Bond.  We didn’t do much, which is what we wanted – perfect place to rest after a hectic year.  The resort has excellent service, including a personal concierge that takes you through the airport, queues for you and presents your passports to customs.  We love this service!

Greetings Mercy,

 

A quick email to let you know that the Needs Family had a wonderful time on their recent holiday to the Philippines and were really impressed by your ground operator in all areas and were extremely impressed that when they arrived for their next flight after being delayed, there was someone holding their place in the airline queue!!!!!


They have fallen in love with Boracay and are planning a return trip to Seaswind !

 

Thank you again for all of your assistance with this reservation and look forward to making further with All About Asia!!!

Hi Mercy,

 

I arrived back into Perth this afternoon and just wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed our tour of the Philippines.  Everything went according to plan and we now know a lot more about your country than we did a couple of weeks ago.

 

Thank you so much for altering our hotel in Manila for the last 2 nights - we were able to get out and about in the city and I managed to do some souvenir and present shopping.  The only item I didn't manage to find was a jeepney silver charm for my "travel" bracelet.  If you know of a shop that sells those sort of tourist silver charms, please tell me and I'll try to order one from them.

 

Please also pass on our thanks to Edgar for his terrific driving and tour guiding skills.  We were hoping to see him again at our hotel before we left, but unfortunately it didn't happen.  Maybe next time we're "in town"!!!!!

 

Please let me know your company's mailing address in Manila, so that I can post something there.

Once again, thanks for all your help and expertise.

 

Kind regards,

Dianne & Wayne Cripps

Hi Julie


We had a wonderful trip to the Philippines, everything went very smoothly.  Thank you so much for all of the hard work you did in the lead up to us travelling.  I know we made you work hard because we had to change our plans so many times but you took it all in your stride and made the changes for us without fuss.  We appreciate everything that you did to make our trip a pleasant one.

Many thanks from all of us, most especially our beautiful new daughter who we picked up in Manila.

Hi Robert

 

I would just like to put in writing how impressed we are at BLT in Cairns with your service

The staff are amazing, especially with the speedy replies to emails and responses to price requests.

It is a nice change to get answers pretty much straight away, when a lot of the other wholesalers (especially the bigger ones) want you to do everything on websites with no personal interaction.

 

Hope you all have a great weekend.

 

Regards, Sharon

Hi Julie,

 

I was very impressed with the service provided from All About Asia. - 

Prices were quoted in a timely manner, as was payments, final invoices and 

documentation etc.

 

The client also commented on the hotels that were suggested - saying they 

were the best options - after being in Manila and seeing what other hotels 

were available. (greatly appreciate the fantastic inside knowledge/ 

suggestions).

 

A great thanks to Mercy who looked after this booking also.

 

Where possible we will look to use all about Asia again!

 

Kind Regards

Good morning Julie,
 
Feed back from the Lawton, Chuidian and Borg group? - yes I have plenty of feed back now - and it is all good.

They all had a great time.
Transfers all ok.
Kimberly Hotel - adequate - no complaints other than the hitch at reception which was sorted.
Although the girls were born in Philippines they hadn't visited Manila before. They didnt like it much and if they go to Boracay again they would only spend one night in MNL - Before their trip I recommended they do some guided sightseeing - Intramurous, War Cemetery, Tagatay - but they couldnt be bothered - they should have.
Trip to Boracay - flight - bus - banca - ok but long trip.  If they return to Boracay they asked me to look into a flight from Subic to Boracay - maybe it's an amphibian? I dont know.
 
Red Coconut Resort - rooms good, service friendly, food  good, resort was good value. They would go back to same place again. Plenty to do.
 
After returning from Boracay they hired a mini van to Angles City and stayed at Swagman Nara. Although accomodation there is very ordinary it is only 20 minutes from their old family home so they stayed there so as to visit family every few days.
 
I will be happy send clients to All About Asia in the future.
 
Regards
Barry
