Great video sir 👍
Thanks Richard glad you liked it
I enjoyed the Penthouse, but if I’m going to stay at a high end hotel. Then it’s got to be ABC. No comparison. I like the rooftop pool and restaurant at Central Park. They did a good job on their rooftop. Yeah prices are definitely up from 2019. Probably going to wait till Jan 2023 before I go back. Not worth all the extra fees, requirements, time, and Money. Good video man. Thanks for sharing.
For the high end I like their place as well
Sure wish I could be there, bossman. Hopefully one day. Oh well at least last weekend we got to rent a super nice spacious luxury cabin up in the north georgia appalachians. Flew my drone 2 miles right up to the cliff face of Mount Yonah.
My zamboangenya wife and her filipina best friend made good use of the jacuzzi.
Thanks Tony, Georgia has some great scenery
I hope Kokomos has had a recent refurb', as its room's were very substandard in 2010, i swear by Wild Orchid Inn Resort or firstly for food, service and price, The Pacific Breeze.
Kokomos rooms looked same last time I seen one unfortunately. Pacific Breeze was my place of choice when I used to visit
Im booked at the Orchid inn for May, reports are its under staffed right now but slowly getting back to normal, i booked it thru expedia.. Orchid inn’s back building right now is a quarantine hotel for non vaccinated OFW’s, but it’s expected to change soon..
Just in time for the hot/humid weather LOL
I do enjoy a hot water soak in a bath tub. Prices do seem a bit steep BUT everything is going up up up across the world. Regular Joe's are getting priced out of the market for vacation travel cost of living which IMO is by design by the elite class.
Agree on price, the closer you are to the nightlife the higher price point they get and people pay it.
Kokomos has the best spot snack in the middle of walking street but the rooms looked too old with Spanish style..I wonder how much are the rooms at walk around hotel now?
Back in 2016 use to e 1550 for standard room and 1800 for a better and bigger one
Not sure on Walk around
Have to agree with most comments on the price. I stayed at the Central Park Tower (pre-Covid) for 3000 pesos a night. I thought that was a little high then but for a decent hotel and location it was worth it. Both hotels are really overpriced now, not the way to get tourists back.
Have to agree on the pricing. There are still good rooms to be had at good prices, just have to do a little research or walking around once people arrive in area
I stayed at kokomo in 2016 but I had to leave they fumigated the room and my girlfriend and I had sore throats and watery eyes and runny noses si I got my money back after 40 minutes dispute and we went to walk around hotel and it was much better
Had same issue when we first got here, long stay hotel we were at fumigated their restaurant in the bottom floor, the fumes went right up into all the rooms aircons. We were sleeping at the time, woke up coughing and had to leave the room at 0100 and stay out until it cleared couple hours later. Checked out of that place shortly thereafter
The Penthouse Hotel, well personally I’d like a bit more privacy in the CR/toilet 😁
I know with some of these hotels in Angeles they like to have an open bathroom with zero privacy but not everyone is into that 😂
If my guest or partner wants to take a dump then they should be allowed to do that in complete privacy 🤷♀️
Agree Sean LOL Thanks 4 watching
In 2009 I stayed with my girlfriend at the wild orchard hotel it was very nice but pricey, I think back then I paid 3200p per night
I am sure it's a lot more now but don't know cause they are not open
Thanks for sharing. I am an old F-4 Crew Chief from the 3rd AGS, was stationed at Clark Air Base in the 1970's and again in the 1980's. My Filipino wife and I visited the Philippines twice in 2018 and once in 2019 to visit her family in Benguet Province. We always stop in Angeles City for a few days and tour the former Clark Air Base and walk through the Night Life area. We stayed at the Red Planet in 2018 and the Brass Knob in 2018 and 2019. I found the Brass Knob to be adequate and very reasonably priced. We hope to travel back to the Philippines in 2023 to celebrate my wife's 60th birthday and to celebrate the 47th anniversary of my first tour of duty at Clark Air Base.
Thanks 4 watching! Check out my video on the Prism hotel that may fit your needs and isn't too far from where you stayed last time. Real nice place.
I stayed at Central Park Tower before, my issues with that hotel is the room doesn’t have a proper fridge, yes it has a tiny cooler style fridge but it won’t keep anything cold enough
There is also no tea and coffee making facilities inside the room
Lastly I wasn’t keen on the food they served at that hotel 🏨
I agree on both the food and fridge, for that price they should have at least a fridge double that size.
@@FOCUSonASIA13 obviously it’s a hotel policy/manoeuvre so guest’s can store their own drinks inside the room or make themselves a coffee = more room service consumables for the hotel 🏨
Overprice rooms if you compare to Thailand and to small
Agree but nothing compares to Thailand
Thanks for the up to date info . Appreciate it 👍
No problem Dinoz
Hey mate i enjoy your videos 👍. Tell us is there any sign of them removing the Thailand pass in the next few months?
Thailand Pass????? If talking the pass/app for travelling locally here in PI then I dont think so.
@@FOCUSonASIA13 sorry mate. I meant the online health pass for the Philippines. Do you think they will scrap it?
What camera are you using?
It looks very small but good quality video
Its DJI Pocket 2, has built in gimbal, very small, very light and easy to use. Love it. Great quality 4K video for such a small camera.
@@FOCUSonASIA13 thanks for your replies mate.
Dies it have good battery life?
Good video man, just wanted to ask what is the best way to walk to Candi Tower from Fields Avenue ,thank you
Preferably a straight line avoiding any dark alleys LOL Honestly that is one reason I am not a fan of Kandi, not easiest to get to especially inebriated
@@FOCUSonASIA13 yeah man thanks I understand but what is the straight line?
@@antonindamov8736 No idea man sorry
Those prices are crazy they where never that expensive the tourists are coming back soon let’s recoup some of our money , no way will I pay those prices to stay in those two hotels thanks for heads up
I agree that the prices are high but they have been that price for a while as far as I know. Haven't seen too much of a raise in anything yet.
@@FOCUSonASIA13 stayed at Central Park many times before being locked out of the Philippines and can tell you they where never that price
@@Jett.Jai1234 Ok never stayed there but stayed in their reef resort in Barrio Barretto and that is about the price. I guess some will jack up some prices to try and recoup
@@FOCUSonASIA13 yes mate just had a look at my Agoda history that’s all and got it for 1900 peso in 2019 and that was about 46 Australian dollars
If your new to the Philippines and fly into Manila, what’s the best way to get to angeles city?
Arrange a private van is best way WS. Look up Margarita station in Angeles City, they used to have a van service pick up at airport. You don't even need to pay ahead you pay upon arrival to Angeles City after you exchange some money.
This link to bluebook check it out. They usually have adverts for van service as well. Do not do a taxi from airport they will charge too much. bluebookph.com/issues/
WS, I looked at Margarita Station website and still have the service they have car or van pick up at airport depending on how many people you have. 3250 pesos for car pick up which is US $65. They have never done me wrong, always waiting at airport with a sign with your name on it and then you can arrange when you reserve to have beer or drinks in a cooler for the ride to Angeles. www.acmargarita.com/rates-and-vehicles/
Your awesome thanks for the info, planning my trip as I’m writing this for last week of March….
@@WShan1966 Well an advanced welcome, you will have a blast especially if its your first time!
Ah, yes another good video ! I still look at these high end hotels and compare them to the place in the 80's, and I realize that back in "the day" nobody would have believed that Clark would some day be sacrificed to clean and luxurious things. Could I get a small order of dirty and dangerous Clark Air Base please ? Never mind there was some of that in this video after all wasn't there ? Were any of those rooms in the BX/Bobbit theater area ?
Those hotels actually near Walking St. I haven't done any hotels on Clark, and there are a lot of them, because they are too far from downtown and in my opinion way over-priced. Those hotels on Clark are for rich Manila types coming up to play in casinos.
So how was cheese steak.? Macano.? Take care.
Price wasn't bad, forgot exact amount, but cheesesteak was mediocre. They used beef that they marinated like Bistek, way too salty and lime tasting.
@@FOCUSonASIA13 thanks for the info. I imagine it's pretty difficult to find a good roast beef sandwich in the Philippines. Take care.
Places like Bretto's have good cold cuts, little pricey but you can find some good cuts of meat
@@FOCUSonASIA13 sounds good at least you can make yourself a nice roast beef sandwich. Take care brother.stay safe.
Great video as always., enjoy your style. Would like to see a video on Kandi, Palace and their other properties. (Daily and monthly) Ballpark for a months electricity bill there
I sent Kandi properties an inquiry and never received a reply back so not interested in re-pursuing. Had no luck with them in the past as well just trying to get info on Condos.
Electric will differ depending on what part of this area you are in, plus a lot of rental apts charge a higher amount. I pay roughly $50 a month in Dau but it is different provider than most of Angeles city. My sis in law pays roughly $90 a month in Angeles area.
Those two hotels do look very nice, unfortunately for me they are out of my price range but that's OK. I've had dinner at the rooftop restaurant at Central park a few times, nice view at night.
thanks for the video. take care. BTW that cheesesteak sandwich at Kokomos looked pretty good !
Unfortunately the cheesesteak was just OK, the meat was marinated in what seemed to be same marinade as Bistek if you are familiar with that. I assume they put the sandwich under a broiler to melt the cheese cause they over did it and one side was hard as a rock. I still have not found a good cheesesteak, except my house, here in Angeles. Philly's , where you expect to find a good one, is mediocre at best
@@FOCUSonASIA13 yeah guess their idea or methods used to make it is quite a bit different from what we're used to plus I think unless you go to a high end resto their beef isn't exactly good quality. Oh well lots of other food to try.
@@roberthertel5565 Exactly
