F1 Hotel Manila BGC (March 25-26, 2016)

It was Holy Thursday when we decided to stay at F1 Hotel in Bonifacio
Global City. Its my husband's curiosity of what this hotel offers and
because its just a stone throw away from his office.

Well for me, it is just an ordinary boutique hotel with the usual
amenities - small swimming pools, gym and lounge bar. 

Experienced the buffet breakfast at F All Day Dining restaurant - quite
no extra special.  

I think  the hotel should have an eye for details - clear and clean glass
windows, tiles, flooring, carpet and bed frame. These often times make
up the hotel's overall lasting impression to its staycationers.

Nobu Hotel at City of Dreams (Aug. 22-23, 2015)

What an awesome panoramic view of the City of Dreams.

Thank God for The Family's sweet stay in one of the 5-star hotels in City
of Dreams - Nobu Hotel.  The Family had a satisfied yummy in the buffet
breakfast of Nobu restaurant.  My son enjoyed the nice and big swimming
pool and its Dream Play. How I wish we could go back to this place soon.

I blame it on the bad guy who stole my laptop for the very few pictures
that I shared on this post.

Villa Escudero Plantations and Resort(May 2, 2015)

Located between the boundary of San Pablo City and Tiaong Quezon, there
lies the scenic countryside resort - Villa Escudero Plantations and Resort.

I know that this is a super late post due to all The Family's pics were in
my stolen laptop, still can't miss posting this family's  quick getaway
to one great rural scenery.  I will just share with you the pics I uploaded
in FB.   

We availed the Day Tour which costs 1,400PHP/person (Fri-Sun & Holiday)
and includes welcome drink, carabao ride from the resort to the
registration area, buffet lunch in the waterfalls and outdoor recreational
facilities.  There is also a cultural show after lunch.

The Family enjoyed the buffet lunch with the water falls as the backdrop
and a cold spring water that flows in our feet.  However, it was a little
slippery because of the moss on the stones. So be extra careful or better
yet, walk barefooted.

We watched the cultural show after lunch, my son tried fishing and
what he enjoyed the most was the paddling a bamboo raft on lake
Labasin with his father.  Had a quick swimming in the pool, biking
and enjoyed the other free recreational facilities.
  
Super love the halo-halo also.

Aside from what we experienced, there is a lot of other attractions and
amenities like rural village tour, bird watching, museum and other
sports like basketball, tennis, billiards, etc.  It offers overnight accommodation
also.

Solaire Resort and Casino (Feb. 27-28, 2016) - A moment of luxury

Truly, a 5-star resort in Manila - with the finest accommodation, dining pleasure
and distressing relaxation on its picture-perfect swimming pool.

Thanks to my sister for this treat who celebrated her birthday in Solaire.  She
was so lucky because she was given a room upgrade from Deluxe to
Prestige Suite in the Bay Side of the hotel.

The panoramic view of the Manila bay was so perfect.  Sharing with you
the features of our Prestige Suite room Bay View.

Experiencing luxury even for a moment.

The room is 150 sq.m. in area. With 1 King bed and 71" cable TV in the bedroom.
It has a separate dining and living room, as well as bathrooms with separate
rain showers and bathtubs. With control systems for the lighting, TV, and
curtains opening to the wide view of the Manila Bay. There is a walk-in wardrobe
closet, 24-hour Wi-Fi access, and iPod docking station.

The Family had a sumptuous buffet breakfast at Fresh over a wide varieties
of menu and desserts. And my son enjoyed its wide and beautiful swimming
pool.

The only thing I did not want with this hotel is that the casino is  very much
exposed to kids and you can smell cigarette smoke even inside the elevator.
Solaire should do something with this if they want to make this hotel a
family-friendly one.
