Sky Ranch Tagaytay - Jan. 31, 2014

The Family enjoyed its 1st Sky Ranch, Tagaytay experience last January 31,
Chinese New Year.


Its a leisure park with amusement park and restaurants inside.  It is just
a stone's throw away from the famous Taal Vista Hotel where we spent
the night.  

We arrived noon and started our adventure with a sumptuous lunch in Leslies
for its best selling Bulalo with Sisig, Laing and Grilled Pork.




The park has a number of rides which kids and kids at heart can
enjoy.

The main attraction - Sky Eye. A giant air-conditioned ferris wheel
over looking Tagaytay.

The Nessi Coaster, Super Viking, Carousel, Road Train, Red Baron...



And due to long line in the ticket booths, we just rode the Sky Cruiser
and the Sky Eye(giant ferris wheel).

Its nice that there are plenty of gazebos around where people can sit
down, take a rest and just watch the kids around.


A row of restos is available: Rue Bourbon, Downtown Pizza & Pasta, Kenny
Rogers Roasters, KFC and Tokyo Tokyo, Uncle Cheffy, Kuse and Krispy
Kreme.

We ended the night with a dinner in Kenny Rogers with a nice view
of the colorful Sky Eye.


The Entrance Fee to the park is 100 PHP and there is no ride-all-you-can ticket.
The rides prices which you have to buy individually:

Hope the management can add more food booths,  restos, and kiddie rides.
Also, better if they can lower the rides' price for more people to afford and enjoy. 

And after a tiring but fun Sky Ranch adventure, The Family settled the
night at Taal Vista Hotel. The son enjoyed his bed with the view of
the colorful Sky Eye.

This place will surely be one of The Family's weekend getaways. My son will
come back for the horseback riding @ the Riding Loop.

Ortigas:Oakwood Premier Joy~Nostalg Center Manila(Nov 16-17, 2013 Staycation)

What I love about hotel staycation is that it relaxes me within the comfort and
luxury of what the hotel can offer.

Finally, The Family had the chance to stay on this fully serviced apartment which
is located on our corporate office building in Ortigas.

In the lobby...


Let me tour you around on our new home(just for a day) - Studio Executive room
in the 23rd floor.

Our very comfy and huge bed with the modern home entertainment system with
cable.  Just perfect for The Family.


Our living room with a chic couch and is separated from the kitchen
by a bar.

Our fully-equiped western-inspired kitchen complete with refrigerator, microwave,
convention oven, rice cooker, coffee brewer, utensils, plates, glasses, cups,
cooking wares, etc. This was my dream kitchen...




Our lovely and spacious bathroom. I fell in love with the rainshower while
sitting down on the chair as if I was in a steam bath. It is complete with
bathroom toiletries, towels, hair drier and the TV.





Other room amenities:  An office space, a laundry place, iron & iron board,
bath robes, laundry bags, slippers and lots of cabinets and drawers + the several
wall-sized mirrors that made the room appear more spacious.


The place which my son loved very much - lap swimming pool at the 5th floor.
It also has its Fitness Center, Kids Room and the Business Center.






Our stay is exclusive of free buffet breakfast. To experience one of Oakwood
Premier's pride which is its Oakroom Restaurant and Bar, I availed of the
30% off Brunch Buffet from Deal Grocer.  The Sunday brunch costs
1,200PHP/person and 500PHP for kids from 3-7 years old.

With the wide array and spectacular selection of international cuisine...





 The neighborhood...

It's really an awesome Home Away From Home stay when you are in Oakwood
Premier Joy~Nostalg Center Manila.

The Family will surely come back to this one great place...
