Robinsons Hotels and Resorts Introduces 4 Keys To Ortigas Business District

Ortigas has always been a place for business, and has thrived over the years. Change has always been happening in it, and the tourism, travel and hotel industry is part of that. Recently, Robinsons Hotels and Resorts showcased what you need to be here, not just for business, but bond with friends and family with 4 of their unique properties.

The Westin Manila just opened in March this year. Theirs is a property that is centered on wellness, and if you are up to it, staycations are highly encouraged. The holidays (and their Paskonstelasyon celebrations) are also going to be fun as they've got the Green and Bright theme executed in their offers. They have Holiday feasts for Lunch and Dinner, the famous Westin Holiday High Tea, several Holiday Hampers filled with Organic Food and sweet treats. They also have boutique pastries you can take home in your own home celebrations, plus their signature Rudolph The Reindeer Chocolate Hazelnut Mousse Cake which you can only get at the Westin Manila, or a mini version if you are cutting back on sweets. I love the ambiance there, with 303 rooms, function rooms and a ballroom, you would certainly love to stay there for the holidays. Soon to open are restaurants including a rooftop bar with a Spanish twist. Their GM Alexander Dietzsch would welcome you there!

Maybe this huge Sisig would convince you. GO stay at Ortigas' iconic hotels!

 

Their other property called GO Hotels and GO Hotels Plus have several offers for the holidays including 40% off on their various locations. They also have the new RHR Gift Card available in different denominations so you can give it to your friends and family as gifts too. With GO 24/7, you can check in anytime and check out of the hotel for a whole 24 hours after. You can also book in advanced via GO365, they also have people available online to answer your questions, now that's convenient!

If you've gone into a conference, meeting or stay in the Ortigas district, chances are, you've probably done them in Crowne Plaza or Holiday Inn. These icons have lots to offer especially during the holidays. Crowne Plaza's UNBOX activities plan to combine business and leisure. If you book a room with them, it might come with a special gift where you could get discounts in Xin Tian Di, 7 Corners Restaurant, more discounts on future stays, or even free ones on your next dates (which they raffle off). Go stay with them and Holiday Inn Manila Galleria during the New Year's eve as both hotels have a Countdown Party at special rates, with more surprises up their sleeves.

Pretty good showing over at Robinsons Hotels and Resorts, which I hope I'd get to personally stay at soon. Now you're informed.

There's a Hilton Clark Sun Valley Resort in Pampanga

Honestly, I didn't know. I haven't been in Clark Pampanga in a while and if I do, it's almost just because of the airport. Though this is actually good news that they're opening up huge establishments especially from Hilton Hotels and Resorts group.

The Hilton Clark Sun Valley Resort has 308 rooms equipped with digi keys, with Hilton’s signature Serenity bed, premium bath rooms, a fitness center with the latest equipment, an awesome outdoor pool, a Kid’s Club, an outdoor playground, walking+jogging paths, and soon a wellness center.

They also have several dining choices, Olive which is an open kitchen - all day dining place with views of the pool and the garden. They also have XI which is a modern Chinese place that serves Cantonese regional dishes. They got Treat which serves kitschy coffee, snacks, cocktails and wine.

They also are implementing the Hilton CleanStay program which they do across their other properties so you're assured of a well sanitized place to stay. Oh and have I mentioned their 1,800 square meter meetings space? Here, you can do meetings, weddings and other social gatherings (with precautions done of course). If that's not enough, they can send you to their 1,010 square meter Grand Ballroom which can fit 1,200 guests. It also includes the usual audio and video amenities, so your events would be fitting this place quite well.

This just looks like a phenomenal place in the north, I'd want to visit this place soon. Go visit them at clarksunvalleyresort.hilton.com for reservations, or simply call them at +63 45 598 5400. Tell them I sent you, I kid!

Summer Lovin at Aquaria Beach Resort

It's officially summer and when the opportunity came to visit a resort in Calatagan Batangas came, I hurriedly grabbed it. It's a few hours away from Tagaytay City which is also pretty close to Manila. This is Aquaria Beach Resort. A sprawling property developed by LANDCO Pacific Corportaion, the same people that brought you Playa Laiya, Playa Calatagan, Hacienda Escudero, Terrazas De Punta Fuego and others, this world class property at Playa Calatagan, Calatagan, Batangas is but a piece of paradise that would cater to people of all walks of life, in this place, anytime. We ventured to Batangas the morning of March 23rd with my blogger friends. If you're finding some place to be in this Holy Week or just about any other day this summer, check out this video about our journey there, plus the things I enjoyed the most while in Aquaria Beach Resort!

It was fun, it was glorious, you'll feel blessed to live in a country like ours. Aquaria Beach Resort has amenities that would be envied by other establishments of the same nature, and they've done this quite nice in some of the resort's awe-inspiring areas. 

When you get off your car, you would be greeted by this imposing structure in front. This serves as their front desk and arrangements before you enter the resort happens here. Entrance Fees cost 500 for Adults, 250 for kids on a weekday and 700 for Adults and 350 for kids on a weekend. You can also rent a Cabana in the beach front for around Php 1000 or Php 1,500 that can fit around 10-15 people. Make sure you also bring proper swim gear and other stuff that you deem necessary for a beach trip, toiletries and towels included (because I don't think they have that on hand as of now). Property owners and their guests get perks of course so if you're thinking of getting a beach property anytime soon, they've only got a few units left so you better do it in haste!

Don't worry about having enough shower rooms or comfort rooms because this place has a lot inside this building. It also houses the locker rooms if you want to keep some of your things safe while you frolic in the sun, they've got that covered.

This is the Kid's Pool Area. They've got several fountains, water guns and water showers inside this area. I've seen life guards both in the beach and in the pool area so I think everyone's safe. Adults should stay in the other side which have around 4-6 feet of water if I'm not mistaken. Aside from that, this particular feature is fun!

This is Aquaria Beach Resort's Giant Water Slide. It's a big tube where you can fit huge 2 prong lifesavers that can fit 2 people in it. You go down the tube together and whirl your way down the pool, make sure you listen to the person upstairs so we don't get into trouble while doing the slide. It's ultra safe, but probably not for kids. Unless of course they swim like a fish for a living then that's an exception.

Up on the beach front they have these cozy cabanas which I deem you try and get if you wanna go here. It's a place where you and your family could spend the whole afternoon lounging around, having a glass of wine, a bottle of beer and barbecue. You can also rent a grill from them and bring your best meat, fish or poultry products if you're up to it. I got my massage here and it was very comfortable. They've got the beach volleyball, beach football amenities right beside it. Aside from that, they've got henna tattoo stations beside them as well. I got one before I left the resort and it's still here... I totally loved it!

As you saw on my video up there, they've got a ton of beach activities including open sea Kayaking, snorkling, island hopping, banana boats, jet skis, or just bumming around the beautiful shore. They've got around 4 kilometers of it if I'm not mistaken. They also have scrumptious food served at the beach restaurant which they call Sands. Kudos to the chef who grilled my baby back ribs, it was so good I had a few kilos of it still in my system. As with the other things, it'll be in my memory of this place... of which I promise to go back to when I need a beach refuge that doesn't  entail a plane or a boat ride at all. 

Thank you so much to the great people from Aquaria Beach Resort for making our stay memorable. I've already got friends and family asking about it and I won't hesitate to share how I got here. It's their turn to have some fun under the sun!
