1 BEDROOM UNIT - 49.7sqm and 51.10sqm

Condo Rental Rate: Php4000/night

(Traveler's Couch Tip: The availability of the unit will be dependent on the date of desired booking. The demand is getting higher here so might as well book a month in advance at least. I recommend to choose 1 Bedroom Unit for groups with 5-7 guests)

INCLUSIONS:

Important Update as of October 16, 2016:
Traveler's Couch received a notice from Mactan Newtown Condo staff that only maximum of 4 Guests can stay overnight while additional 1-3 guests for day-use and can stay until 10PM only.

- 4 ADULT GUESTS PER UNIT can stay overnight only.

Traveler's Couch Tip: You can actually invite additional guests, maximum 3 extra heads for P200.00/guest for dayuse until 10PM. Please refer to below rental rate with respect to the unit type & number of guests.

STUDIO ROOM UNIT

4 Guests (Rate: Php3500) = Php875/person w/ 4 Guests overnight stay
5 Guests (Rate: Php3500 + Php200) = Php740/person w/ 4 Guests overnight stay, 1 Guest day use
6 Guests (Rate: Php3500 + Php400) = Php650/person w/ 4 Guests overnight stay, 2 Guests day use
7 Guests (Rate: Php3500 + Php600) = Php585/person w/ 4 Guests overnight stay, 3 Guests day use

1 BEDROOM UNIT

4 Guests (Rate: Php4000) = Php1000/person w/ 4 Guests overnight stay
5 Guests (Rate: Php4000 + Php200) = Php840/person w/ 4 Guests overnight stay, 1 Guest day use
6 Guests (Rate: Php4000 + Php400) = Php733/person w/ 4 Guests overnight stay, 2 Guests day use
7 Guests (Rate: Php4000 + Php600) = Php657/person w/ 4 Guests overnight stay, 3 Guests day use

Clearly, maximizing the number of guests would lower down the expense/person and Bedroom Unit is slightly higher than the Studio Unit since it is more spacious than the latter.

- SPACIOUS UNIT

(Traveler's Couch Tip: Area of the units are bigger than the usual condo. I haven't seen the studio room unit but for bedroom unit, it has good space for maximum 7 guests. Plus, try to request for a corner unit to have a better view of the property)
