Anniversary Trip to Boracay

Last October (2011) Hubby and I plus our 2 lovely daughters spent our 5th year Anniversary in Boracay. It's been 5 years since we last visited the island (it was our honeymoon) and so we decided to go back and spend our special day at Astoria Boracay.
Private transfers boat land and sea. Simple pleasures :-)

Room: Clean and beautifully design though not too big but good enough to occupy 2 adults and 2 children. We stayed in the room with pool access.
Food: Delicious buffet breakfast and dinner
Location: end of station 1 and just next to station 2

The Vibrant City of Hongkong

Hongkong has been a quick out-of-the-country get away for most Filipinos. And because of low fares (even ZERO fare) popping out every now and then Hongkong became a Must See destination in Asia.
Plus, the opening of Hongkong Disneyland added flavour to it :-) Would you agree? hehehe.
After 3days in Disney,we spent 4 more days in Kowloon side (Hongkong). We stayed at Marco Polo Hotel.
The room is spacious though nothing really special aside from the fact it is adjacent to a mall plus its proximity to MTR and major attractions. Buffet Breakfast are almost the same everyday though I really like their noodles and dimsum.

It is both our first time to stay at Marco Polo. We were not impressed! For the amount of money we paid per night it was not worth it. The check in counter staff seems to be unaware of our reservation through a website. She can't figure out that the whole amount has already been paid and she was charging us again and on a higher amount without the Internet fee. Anyway, we were able to fixed it afterwards but another mishap happened again. We checked in 2hrs early around 12noon and it was supposed to be at 2pm. The lady from the counter said that the room is not available yet but she will expedite the cleaning so we can have the room ASAP. Holding on to her words, we just roam around to kill the time (plus lots of sale at that time hahaha) instead of just sitting in the lobby. At exactly 3pm, we arrived the hotel again hoping that the room is available ...but you know what??? We were told that it's not yet ready though we even came 1hr later than the scheduled check in time. We were really pissed of about the incident and they never apologized. Anyway, we still insisted that we should get the next available room coz we cannot wait longer. Fortunately, they granted that! So, if you would ask me if I will stay there again?? the answer would be...I'll try their other Chains of Hotel  

Hongkong Disneyland Hotel

Hongkong Disneyland is situated in Lantau Island about an hour travel (by MTR) from the City Center. It boasts 2 equally beautiful hotel near the park ~ Disney's Hollywood Hotel and Hongkong Disneyland Hotel.
At the time when we were planning this trip we were actually torned which hotel to stay but hubby decided that we should stay at the Hongkong Disneyland Hotel. It's a bit more expensive than Hollywood Hotel but I think they have both good facilities.
The entire hotel is designed Victorian Style. It is lavish and elegant! High Ceiling, Gigantic Chandelier and beautiful facade. Delicious In-house restaurants, gift shops, activity areas for kids etc. We really had a great time staying here.

Hongkong Disneyland = A Long time Overdue Post

Anyway, let me share with you guys our Hongkong Disneyland Trip few weeks back. It was hubby's birthday gift to our lil princess Rania. It was a fun visit, though I would recommend and suggest to visit the park during fall/winter to better enjoy the rides and the walking too.

It wasn't the best time to visit Disney during the hottest month of the year. Trust me it was hot!!

Le Bua State Tower Hotel ~ Bangkok, Thailand

We arrived safe and sound here in Bangkok last Tuesday afternoon. The weather is hotter than Manila but it's manageable. We're staying at Le Bua State Tower Hotel in Silom. The hotel itself is gorgeous. The room is so spacious and spotless clean with fluffy pillows and comfy bed.
