I was raring to visit this lovely city since last year and when airphilexpress had a ticket sale i did not pass up the chance.
As soon as you step out of the airport you will notice the cleanliness of the surroundings. Warning to visitors : Littering is heavily fined. Please throw your candy wrappers, cigarette butts , plastic water bottles etc into the waste bins.
One thing good about touring this city is that they have one standard rate for tours and van hire . Travel agencies has same rates for tour packages the difference lies in the service they will provide during your tour.
We booked through Liberty Park Pension which is located 5mins away from the airport. I've heard good reviews about them and they did not fail me. There was prompt airport transfers provided. Their breakfast was served hot and delicious. The receptionist was kind and helpful. The room and toilet was clean . There was wifi available (though signal is better in the reception area) .But a minor glitch was their hot water which was more of cold.
Liberty Park Pension is really value for money. Their accomodation rates ranges from P 950 - P 1,600 per night depending on what room type and number people staying in one room. The pension house is walking distance to Bona's Chaolongan - a famous vietnamese carinderia type eatery.
You can easily hail a tricycle (P 8/person) in front of the pension house if you must go to the palengke (wet market) or to tiangge-tiangge to buy pasalubong and south sea pearls.
Our first day was spent touring the city and highlight of it was our visit to Vietnamese Village.
