UN Lrt to US Embassy

Hi. Pls. provide info on how to go to US Embassy from UN LRT Station? Is there any jeep going to Roxas Blvd from the station? Thanks.



UN Lrt to US Embassy


there no jeep fr. UN station to US embassy, best way is to take a pedicab



UN Lrt to US Embassy


Best way from any lrt station to US Embassy?




The best (for me) way is from UN LRT Sta. Straight through the UN Ave is the US Embassy by the bay. Take a leisurely 20 minutes walk and enjoy the scene along the way.




There are plenty of roadworks along UN Avenue, so there%26#39;s regular traffic in the area, specially in the portion infront of Manila Doctor%26#39;s Hospital and the police station.



I%26#39;d want to suggest taking a quick cab ride (if a driver will take you). Yes a sad option would be to take a pedicab til the corner of UN Avenue and Roxas Boulevard (where the two starbucks branches are). But if the weather is fine, I%26#39;d agree with one of the posts above. Take a leisurely stroll along UN Avenue.




Thanks guys. How much would a pedicab costs?




Allow 50 pesos budget




Thanks.

    I will be in boracay for the 1st time this coming october. Im looking for a room which is nice %26amp; clean and preferably with AC %26amp; TV. Im reading the boracay forum on this site and found out many interesting places but still Im undecided due to budget constraints. 1 option I have is Bamboo resort, any reactions please. 1k to 1.5k is my budget for accommodations can you help guys?



    1st timer


    If you are willing to pay P1500 you can find a nicer place than that. The location is pretty crappy.



    Some better options in that price bracket include Dave%26#39;s, Turtle Inn, Tonglen, Isla Gecko, Little Corner of Italy, Marzon Resort and El Centro.



    1st timer


    check www.turtleinnboracay.com





    we%26#39;ll stay there this mid-october.




    thanks for the info guys! much appreciated... another thing how bout Arock resort and blue coral? any feedback on this resorts... daves straw hat is my choice but still looking forward to others... any comment sirenna i know ur the expert hehehe





    THANKS!!!! enjoy!!!!




    Personally I%26#39;d go with Blue Coral - it%26#39;s beachfront and in a much better location than A-Rock.




    Hi sirenna,





    Your such a big help. Could you help me to decide where we can stay at best w/ my wife - daves, villa de oro, boracay courtyard or blue coral. Thank yo so much...




    Hi Sirenna,





    Im sorry please include Tonglen in my list. Is tonglen far from the beach? Again, thanks!




    Tonglen isn%26#39;t far from the beach - just a couple of minutes walk. I%26#39;m afraid I don%26#39;t know anything about Boracay Courtyard, so I can help with that.



    Villa de Oro is too noisy for me - they play too-loud music there, especially around dinner time.




    I%26#39;d be happy to stay at either Dave%26#39;s, Blue Coral or Tonglen, but bear in mind only Blue Coral is beachfront. The others are just a short walk away. The choice is yours - it%26#39;s your vacation! Have you had a good look at thier websites?




    Yup I%26#39;ve seen their sites. Thanks for the info you gave, uve been such a big help on this forum.





    Sirenna RULES!!! =)




    @ love boracay.... did you paid in full for your accommodation in turtle inn? maybe I will stay there also... thanks!

    Do they celebrate Chinese New Year in French Polynesia? ;)










    ..canadianPie09,





    ...remember to use the full name when posting about Boracay



    Rob




    Use the REAL name! Google ';Bora'; and you don%26#39;t get any info about Boracay whatsoever!



    Boracaynons are trying to discourage the use of this abbreviation.

    Villa de Oro

    hi there,





    does anyone know if there%26#39;s hot and cold showers in villa de oro%26#39;s bathrooms? their rates look good on the internet, but i%26#39;m not so sure if they do have hot and cold showers.





    also, would you really recommend this place?





    thanks!



    ~christine



    Villa de Oro


    For sure they%26#39;ll have a cold shower! The hot one might be lacking though. It%26#39;s interesting that they don%26#39;t mention it on their website - most places list their facilities. Nearby El Centro is offering some good deals, and has hot showers. You could also look up Boracay Beach Chalets to compare prices.



    Villa de Oro


    thanks Sirenna! I%26#39;ve stayed at the suite in Boracay Beach Chalets so I know :) and the room is great there too! But I was interested in Villa de Oro because the rates are really cheap.. hehe..





    thanks again for the advise!




    The cottages and garden look OK from the outside, but what puts me off that place is the loud music they play at sunset. It kind of ruins the atmosphere for me.




    Do not Stay At Villa De oro. especially if you are filipino Citizen, people here do not prioritize filipino, as if ther aren%26#39;t one..Nothing much interested on this resort, it is not true that is a WIFI there. NO Refrigerator, Mini Tables for your things No hanger for your Clothes, People are so annoying, Snobbish! i experienced this only yesterdar. SO beware, enough reason for us to move to other beach resort..

    Zuzuni Boracay



    Hi. Is it true that all 4 rooms of Zuzuni comes with a bag full of kerastese products?

    Good eats In Boracay?

    Hey guys! Can u recommend some good food places in Boracay? Nothing high-end, but something good,filling, and authentic to whatever style of cuisine they are representing.

    Also, about how much per person is it usually to eat at those places?

    Thanks!

    Good eats In Boracay?

    If you like grilled chicken, there%26#39;s a lot of Andok%26#39;s barbeque. They also have other grilled food but chicken is the most requested menu. They are very cheap also, like less than $1 or so for one item. There%26#39;s a lot of eatery at D%26#39;Mall and Andok%26#39;s is one of them. Others are specialty restaurants that cater to European and Korean tastes. If you want authentic Filipino food, check with your resorts because most of them are experts on that area.

    i would recommend island chicken inasal in d%26#39; mall over the andoks chicken.


    Thanks! I%26#39;ll make sure to check those out!


    1. jony%26#39;s(station 1) and maniana(between stn 1 and 2) srves good mexican food. go to chill out at jony%26#39;s for happy hour (sunset...few drinks and their nacho grande).

    2. there%26#39;s a new greek resto at d%26#39;mall its very small and its hidden i just forgot the name...its also good i think the name is cyma

    3. if you plan to have white house cook food..try the fish called managat tell them to buy it for you at the market have it grilled. there chicken bar-b-q is also good

    ( i suggest if you want to pig out on seafood just do it at the resort let them buy everything at the market..prawns, oysters, crabs etc...it%26#39;ll be cheaper just give them instruction to buy the fresh ones) have them set it up on the beach. you can also have them buy lechon.

    4. aria resto at d%26#39;mall for italian food.

    5. cocomangas pizza is also good

    6. buffet at fridays

    7. gastoff at d%26#39;mall baby back ribs

    8. jammers burger at d%26#39;mall

    9. boracay steak house for their breakfast omelette

    10 badoy%26#39;s plsce (i thinks its called jimsters) at diniwid beach..its where nami is before you go up the hotel its by the beach they serve very good and huge crabs.

    11. chori or longaniza sandwich before heading back to the resrt to wrap up the night you%26#39;ll seee them by the beach usually around pier 1

    12. indian food at true food


    I%26#39;m salivating just looking at ^ your list!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!


    Andoks is nothing to write home about - it%26#39;s just cheap fried chicken!

    There are some great restaurants in the new wing of the mall:-

    *Lemon cafe (sandwiches, salads, pastries etc)

    *Cyma (excellent Greek food)

    *Upper Crust (steak, seafood, international)

    *Rumbas (English Pub style food, curries etc)

    *Ole (delicious Spanish Tapas)

    *Bite Club (possibly the biggest and best burgers in Boracay)

    There%26#39;s even a new place serving Jamaican patties! you%26#39;ll be spoilt for choice.

    My favourite Mexican is Manana, towards station 1.

    For some more detailed reviews and photos, check the link to my webpage (in the post above).


    real coffee for breakfast!


    You are from the states and i don%26#39;t think you will miss any of the restaurants that offer foreign cuisine. There%26#39;s a lot of that in the states and much better.

    Go for Pinoy foods like barbeque chicken and seafood. Visit the talipapa for an experience and don%26#39;t be a tourist, be a traveller.

    I have not tasted the goat dish they have in Boracay, but on my next trip i will find a native chef that can cook it for our group.


    Blue Mango has good food and not the over priced like Fridays, which I think is over rated.
