I haven't been to the Philippines for a few months but used to stay in the Pen when I was there so I was rather surprised to see it on the BBC tonight! Any FlyerTalkers staying there at the moment?
As noted in another thread, they finished a major renovation there a year or so ago which meant that rooms were sometimes difficult to get. I assume that the lobby needs a new renovation now and rooms may be a bit easier to come by in the next few weeks!
