STAYCATION

[chelsee]

anong hotel young my magandang pool na mag enjoy any kids? my promo ba ngayon sa mga hotel?

[IamDindin]

Stayed at Crowne Plaza, Hotel H2O and recently Manila Hotel.  Crowne Plaza malaki ang room but nothing special, so so lang for us.  Hotel H2O, we got the Aqua Supreme room at naaliw ako sa aquarium wall, na appreciate ko talaga yung room.  Manila Hotel, superior deluxe naman kinuha namin, maluwag sya, i like the shower room and the best ang breakfast dito! Promise!  Want to try one of COD's hotels.

^City of Dreams. Well we stayed at Nobu, but if you stay in Crown towers, you will have pool access to Nobu-Crown-Hyatt pools

So far gusto ko Azumi Hotel in Alabang. lalo na at night

Just came from a vacation when we stayed at COD.  In comparison to the hotel in HK, I think hindi siya ganun kalinis.  Either it was towel or the robe which had stains.  The phones had dusts also when we opened the curtains nung morning.  Just saying kasi bago lang hotel, you would think it is well kept.

Nag staycation kami ng family ko last weekend sa Linden Suites. We got the 3 bedroom suite for only 8,000. It was just fine. malaki naman yung buong suite para sa aming 9 adults and 3 kids. No breakfast siya pero pwede naman magpa deliver. Indoor din ang pool kaya pwede mag swimming kahit tanghaling tapat.

booked ours via AirBnb, and my family enjoyed it. the 3BR condo unit in Taguig was really more spacious and less expensive compared to staycations at hotels. the unit has its kitchen and we were allowed to cook. enjoy din ng aming bagets yung pool.

next time ganito ulit!

+1 on Hyatt COD's cleanliness. The lounge chairs in their pool stinks. As in may amoy talagang di maganda. Forgettable din 'yung buffet spread nila (breakfast at dinner). Ang saving grace lang nung sa breakfast eh 'yung Yakult! Hehe!

Crimson hotel in Alabang is nice. Stayed in a premier room for 3d/2n for only 10k+. My daughter enjoyed the pool di pa crowded considering weekend pa.

@elarose - how did you book at Linden Suites? online? or thru phone call?

[elarose]

^sis, online po

sis riandrew, ano pong condo sa Taguig, would like to try that naman next time, lalo na sa long weekend.

We just had our staycation at Seda Nuvali Sta. Rosa Laguna, 2 nights and 3 days stay. I rate my experience with them as 9/10. The kids loved the place, the pool, breakfast is good and  the hotel staffs are friendly and attentive. Malapit na rin matapos ang buong Solenad mall which is just walking distance from Seda. My advice is to get a room with lake view, ang ganda. Maraming activities outside the hotel like fish feeding, jogging trail, biking around the lake through rent-a-bike, picnic areas around the lake, boat riding etc. There are off road bike trails as well.

As for my next staycation, I am planning to stay at Marco Polo Ortigas or Aruga by Rockwell (it's a serviced apartment).

We availed the BPI Promo in Holiday Inn and Suites Makati last weekend. Super satisfied naman kami. And easy access sa mall. Tagal na namin di nagagawi sa Makati kaya ayos na ayos din! hihi..

We stayed at privato hotel and had a pleasant stay.  We were given gift certificates, and aside from the stained sheets that smelled clean, not bad naman considering 3 star hotel lang siya.  Point of concern lang are the guests.  My brother is very simple lang, and you can say he dresses down most of the time.  Someone in the elevator b***ched at him kasi 1 floor up lang nag elevator pa siya.  I am hurt for him kasi i invited him to have fun, not to be b***ched at kasi gusto yata siya mag stairs so she can go straight up to her room. 

Privato frequently joins group sites kasi and mga clients talaga diyan very demanding and hindi marunong mag appreciate.  Base sa experience namin, those who pays the least are the ones who complains the most. 

Sana wag na sila mag join.  Sa overall stay namin we are happy, except lang sa guest experience.

Hello!  Any recommendation for hotel stays for christmas and new year?

Plan ko kasi sa hotel  na lang kami magcelebrate either christmas or new year.  Meron na bang christmas/new year packages ang mga hotels now? Since from the south (pque) kami preferred ko is somewhere south lang din--Alabang, Tagaytay or until Nasugbu? Any recommendations sisses?  4 adults kamii.  Thanks!

^sis try mo Acacia. Last month don kami nag stay. Then last week nag stay kami sa Crimson hotel. Pero mas gusto namin ng husband ko sa Acacia hotel. Sa laguna try Seda Hotel in Nuvali

[ataypool]

Coffee Farmhouse in Alfonso, Cavite - very relaxed stay with friends here. All meals provided. Ang stress lang namin is hindi namin maubos pagkain kasi madami. Perfect place if your idea of fun is wholesome.

[letters_to_cleo]

^^sis thanks!  isa nga yung acacia sa nicoconsider ko. As of now eto yung options ko:
Acacia
Parque Espana
Crimson --eto yung una kong gusto kasi bagong-bago sya pero mukhang mas okay nga sa acacia
Taal Vista
Vivere

I will check din yung Seda, parang bago sa pandinig ko si Seda :-)

Thanks!

* We also had a 3D2N staycation at Seda Nuvali nung August yata yun. We booked a Club Room and sulit ang Club Lounge (meron afternoon tea at 2pm, then cocktails at 5pm). Our room faced the lake din.

My daughter enjoyed the pool. And i liked that same lalim lang for the whole pool, mas pleasant mag-swim. Breakfast buffet ws pretty decent na din. And the staff were really nice sa toddler daughter ko, lalo na the staff sa Club Lounge.

We initially planned to roam around Nuvali during our stay, pero nag-enjoy na kami sa hotel pa lang so di na kami lumabas the entire long weekend. For my toddler, aside from the pool, meron books sa Club Lounge tsaka meron din basic playroom. Or pinapalakad-takbo lang namin sya sa damuhan.

* Acacia Hotel - we stayed there for June12 long weekend. We got the executive room and nice din. Corner sya so ok din view, pur room overlooked the pool and jacuzzi. Medyo maliit lang ang pool. The restaurant where breakfast is served is madali din mapuno so for our 2nd day, dun kami sa lobby level kumain - me konting buffet spread sila dun. Pwede na for basic stuff, pero madaming food ang wala dun. Pwede din naman kumuha ng food sa taas/mezzanine pero hassle pa kasi. On the 3rd day, late kami bumaba and dun na kami sa resto mismo sa mezzanine kaya mas nasulit namin ang breakfast buffet.

Meron ako gusto i-try next sa Alabang, i forgot the name, pero mura lang yung rates na nakita ko, as in mura. Me open-air infinity pool sa roof deck. Looks nice in photos.

Pati yang Coffee Farmhouse ba yan, i wanna try din. Air-conditioned naman ang rooms no? If if ever e kasama namin toddler ko and ayoko ng malamok.
