This establishment is still on its soft opening stage but I just wanted to give you first dibs on Golden Phoenix Hotel Manila. We had an overnight stay here recently and I just loved its location and how NEW everything is! My verdict is that it's a four-star hotel with a five-star level of elegance and comfort. Price-wise, this can only be good for us, customers, since that would mean we get value for our money :) Golden Phoenix Hotel Manila is situated in Sunrise Drive of Central Business Park in Macapagal Boulevard, Pasay City. I really wouldn't know where it's ... Continue Reading...
Our family stay in Banyan Tree Bangkok
Can't believe I've visited Bangkok twice in a span of two months! So nice to rediscover the sights, sounds and tastes of this city. I don't have much affection for their road conditions and traffic, which is so much like Manila, but I certainly want to explore more of the food and the shopping! Hotel rooms in Vietnam and Cambodia are still cheaper but the ones in Bangkok can also compete with the price and generosity of space. Last July, my daughters and I spent two nights in the city prior to our vacation at the Royal Cliff Beach Hotel in Pattaya. I booked a room ... Continue Reading...
Parque Espana Residence Hotel in Alabang : a review
Parque Espana Residence Hotel in Alabang is kinda off the radar but some people would consider it a boon that it's in a quiet, still uncrowded location. Also, the area of this hotel is fast developing. There are big outlets of McDonalds & Jollibee nearby and it's just across Commercenter building with its hip row of new bars & restaurants. So yes, this made us happy campers here two weeks ago. Our five-year old Lucia was the happiest. She's really loving these weekend staycations and excitedly expects it to be a regular occurrence. Said she: "We're doing this every ... Continue Reading...
Hotel sáv opens in Hong Kong
Have you ever been to Hung Hom in Hong Kong? Most of us haven't, LOL. Located on the southeastern part of Kowloon, this area was quite a revelation since what can be seen here are mostly traditional shophouses that's unlike the modern part of HK. But it's very refreshing still that a sleek new modern hotel has opened in this part of town. The name: Hotel sáv. sáv is part of Chuang's Group which also owns hotels/resorts in Taipei, Xiamen and Cebu City. Its CEO & founder Edwin Chuang is only 30 and graduated with a degree in architecture, interior & urban planning ... Continue Reading...
Our Easter stay at Privato Hotel & a review
We normally don't go out of town during the Holy Week/Easter break. It is because I dread the diaspora of people in airports, bus terminals and highways. The strategy is to stay in a part of Manila that we have yet to discover...this is after all a big city! And so, this is how we found ourselves in Privato Hotel Mandaluyong during the last holiday. The hotel rate was quite reasonable for only P1,800 net per night on Deal Grocer. For this, we got their Deluxe Double room which was reasonably spacious at 28 sq.m. and had two queen-sized beds. Checking in was a ... Continue Reading...
