Ace water spa is a place to relax in the city. They have two branches: Quezon City and Pasig City. The one we visited was in Pasig City because it is the nearest for the down south peepz like us. Shout out to all the South peepz! Hahaha Anyways, we visited the place during my birthday (last May 2016 and yes this post is a backlog, stayed in my drafts for a few months). Thank you, Momma! Treat nya kami. Hihi 

We stayed for a night and it was a good choice than going home after a 4 hour water spa. We were really tired because I and my sister swam in their Olympic size pool. We were trying to practice our skills in the water.

Ta-da! My mom requested for additional mattress with free breakfast and they gave us 200php off for the 3rd guest for the water spa. It cost around 1600php ++ for the breakfast and mattress

Inside the room, it was a television, office table, a cabinet, safe and many more. 

The bathroom. However, no bathtub included for our room. 

The buffet.

I am really grateful for our overnight stay and with our 4 hour water spa session. It was one of the best interactive spa I ever visited. Almost all of the facilities in the spa area was one button away. I enjoyed pressing every single of it, trying the water massage. Inside the spa, no taking of photos, no slippers (use only the provided by Ace Water Spa), wear the correct swimwear and locker will be provided. My fave part of the water spa will be the hot herbal pool where you can deep your body and feel the heat of the water. relaxingggg It has 4 different temperature and aroma such as Jasmine, Lavander, Mint and Volcano something. lol Then, deep yourself to the cold water after soaking to the herbal pool. So don't hurry yourselves, you will be shock for sure. haha lamig bhe!

They also have sauna room, Olympic size swimming pool and many kinds of pool inside the spa area. I and my sister tried everything inside the spa. They are also really strict with the rules and regulations. I suggest to be obedient. They have people watching over everyone. They also have a rental service, just in case you don't have a rashguard, cycling shorts or maybe trunks hahaha I prefer buy your own, there are shops near the establishment.

For the breakfast buffet, it was good. They have many varieties of food to choose from. I ate a lot too. hahaha Cheat month, birthday month. lolz. Overall, I am satisfied. Will I visit them again? Yes, I will!

I will rate them as 4.8 stars

Azalea Residences in Baguio is a hotel along Leonard Wood Road near Teacher’s Camp. We stayed there for 3 days and 2 nights during our company’s anniversary outing. The place was amazing. The rate was very reasonable for its ambience and rooms. The staffs were friendly and hospitable. When we arrived in the hotel, they greeted us and they served us a drink (juice) from the bar while we were waiting for our rooms.

It was near Session road and to the other attractions in Baguio. We tried to be adventurous and made our way to Cathedral Church. It was fun to walk and to feel the cold breeze of Baguio but if I am in Manila, I would not dare to walk. I would be drench in massive sweat because of the intense heat that’s for sure. If you don’t want to walk you can ride a taxi. It was cheap. Azalea Residences to Session road only cost 47 pesos but only 4 passengers were allowed. We went to different places and I would dedicate a different blog post for it, stay tuned.

Here are the photos from Azalea Residences:

The sign!!!

This is it!

The lobby when you look up. :)

The mini bar - we stayed here while waiting for our rooms.

Ta-da! The bed. I am so sad that I did not take photos of the whole room. I will just narrate what I saw. When you entered the room, you will see a mini kitchen and mini bar. Then, a mini living room with flat screen tv with dvd player. The sofa can be transformed into a bed, so in our room 4 people can stay. There was also a terrace on every room. Moreover, when you entered the bedroom you will see the bed (photo above). It has a flat screen tv and a closet and a mirror. I have no idea where was the aircon, they only have electric fans. (Super tipid nila sa electricity for sure, ang galing sa Baguio) Sometimes when you went out in your room or in the hotel, it is colder. Centralized aircon ang Baguio. Lamig!  Amazing. =))

The fountain in front of the hotel. Just ignore my chubby face and  chubby body and messy hair. LOL!

I recommend the place! XD

Estancia Resort Hotel in Tagaytay is one of the places that people should visit if they want to be relaxed and enjoy the scenery of Tagaytay. It is close to nature and to the metro. It is a picture-perfect place; it can transport you to Santorini in no time because the place was inspired with Greek architecture. 

 I will tour you..

This me on a vacation mode. So lazy to strike a pose.

We were assigned to Executive Suite; it is a little bit far from the Main building so we felt excluded. Haha But good thing they offer golf cart to ride if you don’t want to walk. The room is amazing. It is huge. Inside the room it has an aircon, refrigerator, flat tv with cable, bathroom with bath tub and a balcony with nice view. It is quiet and you can hear the sound of the birds chirping. They offer free soaps, shampoos, toothbrush and shower gel to use. They also offer massages if you want to feel more relaxed but it is not free. They charge for Wifi access and it is expensive. So I just stayed out of social media for a while. 

For free breakfast, it is buffet. Don’t forget to bring the coupon before eating. I enjoyed the breakfast. They offer different variety of food. Moreover, if you want to use the Jacuzzi and sauna, you should schedule the time you want to try those amenities. 

I will give them 4 out of 5. They have a nice place for a 3 star hotel. I will give them 5 if they have free wifi access.

The Picasso Boutique Serviced Residences is a place to relax and to appreciate art at the same time. Creative minds and artists have displayed their own works at the corridors and rooms of the hotel. They also have an art gallery in the hotel. Unfortunately, I haven’t visited it during our stay. One night is not enough to enjoy the amenities in this hotel. They have friendly staffs that are willing to help you anytime. 

We stayed at “The Picasso Loft” according to their site: 

Exquisitely styled in white and grey tones and furnished with the latest and most complete amenities, this 93 square meter loft makes for a great VIP room or a place to house your traveling family. Reserve early, as there are only two of these exclusive luxury suites, both located in prime areas on the 8th floor.

Wow! When I read it, I felt we were so lucky to have the Loft for 50% off. Hahaha Thank you for my skills to convince my friends to avail the promo and to my researching skills. Oh gad! I was a little bit stressed when to booked the date of the event because of our different schedules in our work. Event organizing is really stressful career I can say! Lol 

My tour will start now… 

The corridor at 8th floor.

Elevator - They have a small elevator. haha but it is nice.

Look at the refrigerator with overprice drinks. hahaha 

You can also cook. They have electric stove, microwave and heater for water.

Table counter/ Bar! :)

Glassware and dinning table.

Stairs to the bed.

Ta-da! Bed with television, phone and an ipod ducking station.

The bathroom! Huge with separate bathtub, shower and toilet bowl. They have a lot of

free shampoos, conditioners, toothbrushes, soaps, toothpastes and lotions.

Too bad I don't have the luxury of time to enjoy this wonderful bathtub.

Our view at the 8th floor.

If I will rate them out of 10 I will give them 9 because everything was perfect except for the breakfast. Our accommodation have an inclusive two (2) free breakfast, me and the birthday girl was the one who availed it. Hehehe The food was good. It was a buffet but I don’t know why the bacon and other choices in the menu isn’t eat-all-you-can. No unli bacon for me. Hehehe But overall everything was good.
