Staying two nights in the City of Dreams complex Manila. The question is about dining just outside the facility. I am unimpressed by the actual restaurant choices in the facility. (I do plan to try Nobu, however) Not into buffets at all. Anything above fast food places easy walking distance from the complex? Any reasonably priced restaurant would be nice. Abaca grade to a a bit less in price. Have a child in tow. No taxis just to eat. Thank you.

I have been searching for travel and accommodation information for areas with cleaner air than Cebu city had on a recent trip (as some will recognize from my prior threads). I now realize that I may have done things in the wrong order, by first looking for travel arrangements and checking for hotels later, only to find that there may not be any hotels that meet my criteria. I have various (pretty picky) requirements for travel including: cleaner air (a recent addition to my list), a firm bed (sensitive back), reasonable quietness for sleep (light sleeper and have a fatigue condition that requires me to take naps during the day). I have gone to the point of checking hotel pics to ensure that the hotel has split unit AC since those are quieter than window AC units. I'm posting to see if there's a better way to search for what I need. As regards accommodation, I have searched using Tripadvisor, entering location information in the pull-down menu as expected, and entering additional screening/search terms in the search query box at the upper right. I look for hotel reviews that specifically compliment hotels on the bed firmness, or reviews that complain of excessive bed firmness (both are positive from my standpoint). This approach works ok, but can require significant additional reading to look for other features (noise, cleanliness, etc.). If there's a way to conduct to conduct a search for multiple fields (i.e. bed firmness, quietness, cleanliness at the same time, that would be optimal).

Picture of prices shows in preview but not after submitting.

My previous room had an individual PLDT wifi. No longer. Now all I have available is the unsecured hotel wifi with a universal (hotel-wide) password. Is this as safe as it is going to get for my Internet banking online?

My wife and I have stayed in many hotels in Cebu during our living in and traveling to Leyte Our favorite is Radisson Blue, but this time my wife would like to consider the Quest Hotel. I think that hotel has been discussed on here before but I haven't been able to find it on searches ; admittedly most likely due to my own technological inefficiencies. My purpose in this post is to find out if any of you have stayed at the Hotel Quest and if so what were your experiences in terms of cost, location, quality of rooms and service. Thanks in advance

A fellow I have known for sometime, who lives here in Sihanoukville, posted a question on Kenny's Living in Cambodia Forum that I am not qualified to answer. After all, it has been a long time since I dared go through the Manila Airport. I just am not into self mutilation, folks. If anyone here (who may be a member on that site), or who may answer here for him, it would greatly be appreciated. Anyway, here is the link to the thread in question, regarding short time (about 8 or 9 hours) accommodation, in, around, or near the airport in Manila. Thanks, all.
