Carmina's review on Summit Hotel in Tacloban

Last year my dad had informed me he will be getting married in Tacloban the place his wife grew up in the Philippines . My dad said he would like all of his family members to attend since they couldn't go to the one in the United States. Carmina booked her flight during Philippine Airlines ’ year-end sale at the start of 2026. I told my dad about my travel plans for a short trip from Friday, April 17 to Sunday, April 19. My cousins also asked for my flight details so they could book the same flight. My dad said he will book my room for me sharing with two family members at  Summit Hotel in Tacloban . Sending me the confirmation booking information for my reference.  As the months went by, before I knew it, the big day had finally arrived—a rare event that doesn’t happen too often. Everything had been carefully planned by my dad and his wife, Tita Cielo. When we arrived, the check-in time was 2 PM, but there was a mix-up with the rooms.

Tips in Food Allergy When On the Plane


I just remember something that had happened when we flew back to Manila from Australia apparently we had flew Philippine Airlines and our flight was fully booked when we came home. When they we’re at the process and announced they will be serving our meal and was handed the menu before our meal had arrived.

By, the time our food came to us and we are seated in number 45 and they ran out of food and we had to choose Chicken Adobo which my mom cannot eat chicken due to her allergies and my mom than complained not having enough food for those who we’re last to eat.

My mom had informed them what happens to someone like me who cannot eat certain food what food can you improvise for me to eat than the chicken adobo.

Mistake #1:

We’re informed by the head you need to inform your travel agent once you have booked your flight that you are allergic to certain food and should notify the airlines.

Mistake #2:

When they had announced they will be serving the meals my mom should have informed them ahead of time to give her meal ahead of other passengers.

At this point the flight attendant on duty gave her meal to my mom and they swap their meals.

Based on my mom’s experience it is best to inform your travel agent so they can put a note and there will be away to inform them ahead of time.

Even if my mom claimed she always ridden with the airlines and it just happened the first time it was still her fault but at this point when you’re old you will not accept your own mistake.

I just felt sorry for the flight attendant that was very nice enough to give her meal over someone who demands for her food or else she would have made a big scene inside the plane.
