• ***NOTE ON TAXIS FROM AIRPORT: Coupon (pre-paid) taxis are available at the airports to bring you to our inn or any other place. Rates are fixed and dependent on the destination and generally are more expensive compared to what you would pay in an ordinary metered taxi. Coupon taxi counters usually are found immediately after exiting customs in our airports. Expect to pay somewhere between US$10 to 15 for destinations within Metro Manila. The usual metered taxis are generally not allowed at the Arrival Terminal of airports so you would either need to catch an ordinary metered taxi un-loading passengers at the Departure Area of the airport or outside the airport complex. This may be easier said than done however, particularly when lugging around kilos upon kilos of baggage. But if you don't have lots of luggage, it's best to get ordinary metered taxis for lower fare.
• IF YOU CARRY ONLY BACKPACKS & DO NOT HAVE BIG LUGGAGE, TRY PHILIPPINE JEEPNEYS FOR FUN! BY 'JEEPNEY' PUBLIC TRANSPORT, outside the airport, look for jeepneys going the SUCAT direction, then tell jeepney driver you will go SUCAT ROAD (also called Dr. Santos Avenue) and tell jeepney driver you want to stop at LOPEZ AVENUE and you need pay only P10 to P12 pesos each person, go down when you see the 4th (fourth) 7-11 store (nearby across street is Banco Filipino bank), walk towards LOPEZ AVENUE a few steps to look for a tricycle near Best Choice mini-mart which will cost you fare of only P7 pesos per person (if you don't want to share tricycle with other passengers and want to leave immediately by yourself, just pay tricycle driver P17 pesos), then tell tricycle driver to bring you to 434 El Grande Avenue.
• IF COMING FROM CLARK AIRPORT OUTSIDE METRO MANILA...from Clark airport, please ride Philtranco bus going to PASAY CITY bus station of Philtranco, then from there take an ordinary taxi and tell taxi driver to use taxi meter and that you are going to 'BF Homes in SUCAT, PARAñAQUE CITY'... Parañaque is pronounced as 'pa-ra-nya-ke'...tell taxi driver to pass 'SUCAT ROAD' and look for the 4th (fourth) store of 7-11 (also near Banco Filipino Bank) then turn right into LOPEZ AVENUE, then in few minutes it connects to BF HOMES and EL GRANDE AVENUE...
