Yes, she stayed there at the Casa Bacobo...it is nice and clean and has wifi...it is also very cheap and as you say, not to far from SLEC. It was definitely a good choice.

when they asked me to go back at 1:30Pm..they immediately told me its for vaccination so i knew right then i'll come back to get the 3 shots that the lady doctor told me during the immunization interview

"LOVE is a journey. We walk through life, found each other along the way and stayed inlove. And the best thing is being MARRIED to the person you love and accepting that the future will unfold itself while the two of you still bonded by the same word everybody called LOVE. A love that says "Let God be God"

I have a question. Where do you know where to go... what entrance? Is there only one line to be in? I'm asking because if you are the first one there, how do you know where to go exactly. Thanks helpsmilie.gif

There is only one entrance there..one door..the clue is the long line outside, the vendors yelling for black pen and photocopier..well aside from the address itself..

They missed that part....telling my Fiance' that she would be coming back for her shots.....she waited and waited when she came back...nothing...finally they told her she would have to come back the next day....still did not tell her for what....she was nervous that she did not pass...then finally she was able to confirm that it was for her shots !!!!!

We are both so relieved..... !!!!!!

Congratulations to all today that made it through this stressful time !!!

Cheers,

cjmc

My fiancee had the same experience. She got there early, but still had 2 day medical.

They told her to come back at 1:30 (she was there at 12:30) and they did the Vaccine Interview thing and then told her to come back the next day at 9:30 I think. They didn't say what for, so we were worried all night. When she got there the next day there was too many people on the 2nd floor so they didn't stamp her receipt, so we didn't know the result, but she saw on the computer screen it said Immunizations next to her name. After a couple hours they finally stamped her receipt and sent her to the second floor. But, her cell phone died and I didn't find out the results until later. It was a stressful two days for both of us haha. Luckily it turned out good.

My Fiance' took a couple of pictures of the front of the hospital....there was the address that is on the application form....some steps going up to some glass doors.

There were also some vendors around that were offering to rent you chairs to sit in, that I guess was the big give away.... :-)

Once the line started, there was only one.

How does Casa Bocobo compare to Lotus Garden?

Casa Bocobo is more like a motel - a good enough place to rest during the Medical process. We'll be at Bayview Park for the Interview and CFO, as it's supposedly right across the street from the Embassy.

Ditto on Casa Bocobo...I've tried Miramar (no breakfast and wifi) and room isnt as clean as Casa Bocobo, Bayview (has bfast but not free wifi for the price I paid)...SLEC by the way, doesn't have a sign, it looks more like a blue office building not a medical facility. Telltale sign is you see a lot of folks lining up....

Im sorry I have not been able to pass by Lotus Garden but I have read great reviews about that hotel. good.gif

I chose Casa Bocobo because it is only 2-3mins walking distance to St Lukes and I have with me my 2year old child in tow.
