I have stayed twice in Wild Orchid and really like the room next to the swimming pool. But the price per night at 4,655 (cash) peso is a bit on the high side.

Galaxy has e-mailed back my confirmation for pool side Galaxy Suite room at 3,080 (cash) per night and the room is available for the full 7 days of my stay there.

Pacific Breeze came back with e-mail to say the room I wanted, poolside jacuzzi at 3,700 per night, is available from 23/Feb to 28/Feb...and room not available on 1/Mar as they have been fully booked. They told me they will put me on priority standby and also offered to get a room at another hotel on my last day in AC.


Any bros here have stayed at Galaxy or Pacific Breeze and can help me to decide on which hotel to take?

Honestly, I am quite interested in trying out the Galaxy hotel even though it's Korean owned and car cannot go through Fields/Walking street after 4.00pm and so will have to walk to hotel since I will be arriving AC at around 5.00pm....

So, all advices and info will be highly appreciated.
PB would be my choice if I were you. Galaxy is too close to the action and can be noisy as the rooms are not soundproofed, unless you are lucky enough to have the rooms at the rear. But there's only 4 units at the back of there.

Wild Orchid Hotel and Wild Orchid Resort are 2 different buildings that have no relation to each other. Well, WO hotel used to belong to WO Resort but has been sold and is now operating as an independant. The WO hotel is rundown and has problems with the water pressure system so not having water to shower is a common complaint.

WO Resort is the one on Santos street and is worth it to stay there if you have the money. Excellent staff and service and facilities are up to the mark.

WO hotel is the one on the junction of Raymond street/Real street.
