Want to avoid paying exorbitant Manila hotel rates during the holiday season? Or steer clear of all the stress caused by the rush of last-minute shoppers, long lines, and bumper-to-bumper traffic? Here are 5 tips to help you keep your sanity and enjoy the upcoming Christmas break. Shop early in the morning.
The early bird gets the worm, as that old saying goes. In this case, the early one gets the best bargains. Most people will only get to shop after office hours, or probably wake up late after getting knackered by the party held the previous night. So get to the malls early, to make sure that you get the freshest stock of food, and finish all your shopping before the crowds arrive. Forget last-minute reservations — book early.
Whatever you want to book during the run-up to Christmas Day — a venue for a party or hotel rooms for a staycation — make sure to reserve weeks or even a month in advance. Not only will you beat everyone else to the best venues or rooms, but you can also snag a discount. One example is the Advance Purchase deals offered by Diamond Hotel Philippines. Through this promo, guests who book 30 days in advance get 35% off on their reservation. Search online for great deals.
From finding flights and accommodation for the Christmas-New Year holidays to buying gifts for your loved ones, it doesn't hurt to start your search online. If you shop via the Internet, you get to skip all the long lines and won't need to brave the traffic. That's not to mention the chance to grab affordable airfare or Manila hotel packages that are available only online. Buy group gifts.
It's the thought that counts — this saying rings true especially this Christmas season. To reduce your shopping time, just buy gifts that can be shared by the whole group, or just get variations on one kind of gift for everyone. Fewer stops to buy individual items mean fewer lines to deal with and less stress thinking of gifts. Go around the city after Christmas Day itself.
If you're staying in Manila, chances are you'd witness the annual exodus of people to the provinces for the holidays. This leaves the city surprisingly empty during the period between Christmas Day and New Year, making it the perfect time for sightseeing. With the help of these 5 tips, you can start preparing for the crazy Christmas season, from getting the best deal on Manila hotel rates to doing away with stress.
