Pan Pacific, Manila

Advantages: Great location, good facilities and service; and comfortable rooms!
Disadvantages: A bit of a walk to the closest MRT (City Hall)

...Centrally loacted, the hotel is very close to numerous recreational and commercial places. In fact, Pan Pacific Singapore is within walking distance of many of Singapore's historic landmarks, such as the Padang, stage to some of the most significant national events, the Cenotaph and the commemorative landing site of Sir Stamford Raffles - founder of modern Singapore. It is also close to Singapore's historic, cultural and entertainment areas, such as CHIJMES, the Boat Quay, Clarke Quay, Robertson Walk and the new Esplanade - Theatres on the Bay. The hotel is also connected to Millenia Walk and Suntec City shopping complexes. You must try the Hai Tien Lo for exquisite Cantonese, Keyaki Japanese restaurant for authentic Japanese food. Its amazing!! Full-length glass windows with views of Singapore's city skyline or the Marina Bay... Read review

Advantages: Modern fleet.Good ground and in flight service
Disadvantages: In flight entertainment system is bettered by SIA

...Cathay Pacific,for most of the post world war II period the flag carrier for Hong Kong SAR,is a popular airline among frequent travellers. It is not hard to find the reason why! This Asian airline has a modern,well maintained fleet,it has a reputation for efficient ground service,and it has a good route network.My experiences with Cathay Pacific have always been positive,although all of my flights have been regional ones on the Kuala Lumpur-Seoul,Manila, Jakarta and Hong Kong sectors.I have yet to travel with this airline on a long haul flight.
