Lakwatserong Tsinelas: HOTEL & RESORT

QUEZON CITY: HIVE HOTEL AND CONVENTION CENTER

The heavy downpour was an unnecessary backdrop one weekend. For work commitments, I arrived late and in time for dinner. My friends were positioned on their respective beds lounging and watching television. It was a weekend forecasted for the lazy selves we have.

The Hive Hotel and Convention Center will be our lair. Though situated a block away from the entertainment strips of Quezon City – Timog and Tomas Morato Avenue and despite the fact that I frequent these streets when time is available, I have never heard of this eco-friendly hotel.

The hotel is relatively new and indeed presents a unique interior concept with an advocacy for its existence. It presents itself as a green hotel.

Fancy restaurants, theaters, shopping malls and public plazas are but some of the many usual rendezvous and venues for the so-called romantic dates on a Valentine’s Day. Whoever said it should be commercialized must be coursed. (the bitter self speaking)

Then an event came for us to gather at the newest luxurious designer hostel situated at the center of the business district of Makati City.

We are at the Junction Hostels of Makati.

In time for dinner, we stood at one corner of Makati, as we alight from the cab and gazed the façade of Junction Hostels sans the traffic congestion and picky cab drivers. It was a totally different side of Makati. We were standing next to one of the owners, the lovely Ms. Cyndy Tan Jarabata.

It’s the first weekend getaway of the group for this year. And where are we heading to? To the SM Mall of Asia. Yes, we converged at the Mall of Asia but not to shop or dine rather it was our gateway to a 90-minute drive via the Cavitex-Ternate-Nasugbu route for a yet another luxurious tapped with exclusivity weekend stay at Hamilo Coast.

Hamilo Coast is an expansive 5,900 hectare property located in Nasugbu, Batangas with 13 coves, a 31-kilometer coastline, said to be rich in marine life and abundant flora and fauna. Fortunately, we were invited to the first development in the “Premier Sustainable Coastal Resort Town” of Hamilo Coast which is Pico de Loro, a 40-hectare residential village inside the Hamilo Coast.

A newly-opened business hotel rose up a few meters from where I live. Known for the newly-opened mall (Fishers Mall) and other night clubs along Quezon Avenue, it was an unexpected discovery that the area harbors an accommodation with an ostentatious façade catering to both pleasure and business transients.

For yet another weekend, we are at the newly opened Brentwood Suites situated at 6 Dr. Garcia Sr. Quezon City. And it became the most relaxing staycation I had - pure bliss and relaxation.

Hotel rates skyrocketed. It was days before the New Year celebration and visitors mostly from mainland China and a few from other countries like us flocked Macau. The challenge to locate accommodations near the city center and the convenience of free shuttle buses began.

My entire family will be spending the New Year’s eve in Hongkong but we decided to enter Macau first from Manila. Browsing upon the list of hotels and sorting the cheapest one at that, we were lead to a street named after my maternal grandfathers’ surname. All along I thought we have Spanish lineage, I was surprised I am of Portuguese descent (hahaha). And so we checked in for three nights at Riviera Hotel Macau situated at Rua Do Comendador.

Refreshing scents of pines makes one to be rejuvenated by nature.

Isn’t it everyone’s dream to wake up one morning with the sliding door to the balcony half-opened as the drop of the curtains sway with the gentle breeze of the wind amidst a landscape of towering and scenic pine trees and mountains?

I did so. It was an imagination so I thought that came into reality as we stayed for three days at one of the luxurious hotels of Camp John Hay, Baguio City – the Le Monet Hotel.
