Manila Prince Hotel is a newly renovated hotel located at Ermita, Manila. It is under the same management as The Manila Hotel. Last November, we had a quick overnight stay at the Manila Prince Hotel. I say quick since we checked-in at past 2 o’clock in the morning and checked-out before 12 noon. We weren’t able to maximize…
Every now and then, I would go and treat myself to a pampering session. This can either be a massage, a pedicure, a hair spa, or anything that can loosen my stress, but nothing too expensive. Work wise, I have been very busy this first half of the year and my usual pampering session was delayed. So, when July started…
The Manila Hotel is one of the grandest and oldest hotels in the country. It is a luxury hotel located at Manila near Intramuros and adjacent to Quirino Grandstand. We were fortunate to spend an overnight at The Manila Hotel one Saturday of May due to work. It wasn’t really a staycation for me, since I have work to do,…
Our family have been meaning to visit Ace Water Spa since we heard about it years ago. We have a little boy who loves water so much, and we figure he will be so happy when we visit Ace Water Spa. However, since we live in Cavite and the two branches of Ace Water Spa is located at Pasig and…
It has been our family tradition to go on vacation during our anniversary. We figured celebrating outside the comforts of our home would be the best way for us to commemorate an additional year to our marriage. Normally, these vacations are planned two to three months before our anniversary. However, this year, our careers took center stage and spending our…
After visiting Palaui Island, I collated some notes that could help other tourist (or me when I visit the place again). Palaui Island is famous because this is where the Survivor Season 27 and Season 28 were held. There are two tour boat associations that are accredited to bring tourist at Palaui Island. One is from where we came from,…
Punta Verde is where the local community of Palaui Island is located. It is also a Marine Base. The shores of Punta Verde, during the time we went there, was full of dead seaweeds. It was because it rained a day before we went there. It looks dirty because it’s all black, but was really non-toxic naman. I was really…
After touring Cape Engano, our next stop was Siwangag Cove. Our boatman actually asked if we wanted to visit the place, we said yes because we thought we’re already there so might as well explore everything. It took us around 30 minutes boat ride from Cape Engano to Siwangag Cove. Sadly, nothing really was worth seeing at Siwangag Cove. There are lots…
After spending the afternoon strolling at Nangaramoan Beach, we decided to rest early to prepare for our Palaui Adventure the next day. The boatman who will take us to Palaui Island told us that we should be sailing as early as 6AM to maximize our time. The boatman quoted us Php3,8oo from Nangaramoan Beach to Palaui Island inclusive of bringing us…
Cagayan Valley at Region II is Papa Leo’s hometown. We visit the place on a yearly basis. This year was extra special because we stayed for more than a week during the Christmas break. And since we don’t want to waste any time, we decided to visit the Sta Ana, Cagayan, particularly Palaui Island. It was more than two years ago…
