Manillas

English translation: wrist bands

GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
Spanish term or phrase: manillas English translation: wrist bands Entered by: David Russell

08:22 Dec 22, 2016

Spanish to English translations [PRO] Tourism & Travel / Rental apartments
Spanish term or phrase: Manillas This comes from a webiste with small ads for rental apartments. I think the Spanish is Colombian. The advert describes the flat and some of the conditions, and ends: El apartamento está recién remodelado con todo el mobiliario nuevo. Los apartamentos no suministran toallas, únicamente sábanas. "Manillas" $5.000 por persona. Could it be some form of deposit?

Marie Wilson Spain 14:43 Dec 22, 2016  Identity bracelets are used in many hotels and tourist complexes, to identify that the person wearing one is a paying guest at the complex and so can have access to the pool etc. Especially in hotels that offer "todo incluido". Charles Davis Spain 5000 Colombian pesos 14:31 Dec 22, 2016  It's very little money: about €1.60 at current exchange rates. So it can't be anything very valuable. The price seems quite compatible with bracelets or wristbands. They could just be souvenirs. As Cecilia says, they're quite a speciality in Colombia, so maybe they're something visitors are keen to acquire. Toby Wakely Spain door handles 10:09 Dec 22, 2016  I´m not sure why bracelets would be included in the hotel furnishings- another option is door handles but I´m not sure if this makes sense. Marie Wilson Spain 08:58 Dec 22, 2016  Manillas de ingreso are mentioned in searches for apartments. Maybe it's for an aparthotel Cecilia Gowar United Kingdom Bracelets 08:54 Dec 22, 2016  It is certainly bracelets. Colombian bracelets are well known and they are called "manillas", 151000 hits on Google: https://goo.gl/B2SEQk Unless the apartment is part of a resort, they would not have ID bracelets. Can you provide more context? Paul Adie (X) Germany 08:46 Dec 22, 2016  https://www.google.com/search?q=manillas hotel&ie=utf-8&oe=u... Marie Wilson Spain 08:36 Dec 22, 2016  It could be an ID bracelet like hotels use. Automatic update in 00:

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer) agree  patinba 56 mins   -> Thanks, patinba agree  Charles Davis: I doubt they're for ID purposes; there doesn't seem much point. I think they're probably decorative and typically Colombian souvenirs. 4 hrs   -> Thanks, Charles agree  MarinaM 5 hrs   -> Thanks, Marina agree  Yvonne Gallagher 6 hrs   -> Thanks, Gallagy agree  AllegroTrans 1 day 7 hrs   -> Thanks, Allegro Trans, and happy Christmas!
