Baguio Accomodations : Hotel Elizabeth

hotel eliz 9

When The Food Club went up to Baguio a couple of weeks ago, we stayed at Hotel Elizabeth which is located very near Mine's View Park. Since we were a big group, we were given four different rooms to fit all of us in.

The families of 4 each got an Executive Suite each while Paul and I had the Deluxe Room (Php. 4,256 published rate) which was just perfect for the two of us. In fact, I find the room to be quite specious as we get to have our own balcony and a medium-sized bathroom too. In lieu of an air-conditioning unit, they have a ceiling fan installed in every room too. The TV set have cable and the best part is, you get unlimited Wi-Fi access not only in the lobby but even at the comforts of your room.

Each room has a mini bar where we always get our daily complimentary stock of Bottled Water. On top of that, we were welcomed to help ourselves to coffee with a couple of packs available for us to consume for free.

Don't you just love the view from my room? :)

Paul and I have been visiting Baguio annually for the past 3 years and we've had our share of hotels with thin walls, creepy crawlers coming out from nowhere and worst..not functioning bathroom heater. Given the very cold weather of Baguio, to not have a heater while taking a bath can really be a painfully chilly ordeal. I'm glad we didn't experience any of those here at Hotel Elizabeth.

Now, the most important thing is the bed. After a long day of walking and touring around Baguio, to have a soft comfy bed really adds more brownie points to the hotel. I've stayed at countless hotels here and abroad and I've had my fair share of stiff necks, sleepness nights tossing and turning and worst, allergy attacks due to dirty linens and mites. I'm happy to report that my 3 days, 2 nights stay at Hotel Elizabeth had me sleeping like a baby and waking up energized for another full day of adventure. This is definitely one big reason why I will always consider booking at Hotel Elizabeth should I visit Baguio again.

All guests are treated to a complimentary buffet breakfast at the Flora Cafe. Our friends were always the early birds, up as early as 7 to have their breakfast, while Paul and I were always the last to arrive. :P Still, we find the buffet spread complete and always well-stocked with the day's specials. I particularly enjoyed the Pancakes, Noodle Soup and Tuna. For a provincial hotel, their food is pretty impressive and this actually made me excited for breakfast for the next day too!

Hotel Elizabeth has been Baguio's Hotel of the Year for 3 consecutive years. Nothing surprising about that as given that the hotel has been around for 6 years already, they have maintained the quality of their rooms, their beds and continue to improve their amenities. Majority of the staff members were very courteous and helpful that even the front desk officers would help me make a reservation in our chosen restaurants throughout the trip.

Before we checked out, we were given a short tour around the hotel where we saw their Santorini Ballroom where most of Baguio's wedding receptions and special functions were held. The design is very modern and the bright yellow interiors makes the place look so sunny and cool. It was during this tour that we also found out that socialite Tessa Prieto Valdes was the interior designer of the hotel. Amazing!

Inside the Santorini Ballroom is a big mural created by muralist Alfred Galvez which was carefully hand-painted just to match the feel of the ballroom.

Hotel Elizabeth is definitely a perfect venue for weddings, debut parties and a lot more. Here, the host can actually house all of their guests in any of the 74 guest rooms and suites. The hotel is conveniently located beside Baguio's major attractions such as the Mine's View Park, Good Shepherd, Camp John Hay and The Mansion making it very accessible to go around.

I can't wait to go back to Baguio as I look forward to staying at Hotel Elizabeth again. Finally, Paul and I have hit a gold mine as we finally found the right hotel that perfectly suits our traveling needs.

Franny Mommy Finds : Happy Noz Sticker Patch

As a parent, I have one thing that I dread the most and that's when any of my kids fall sick. From the moment we detect the faintest sniffle followed by sneezes and runny nose, we know one thing is for sure -- we will be having a couple of sleepless nights. For twins, it is very common that when one falls sick, expect the other one to follow suit in just a matter of days, sometimes within hours even.  A few years ago, my twins would catch a cold and we really would struggle because they'd become very fussy and cranky at night. They're sleepy and tired from the cold but with a clogged nose, they can't really have a restful night and this means, either one of us will have to sit up and carry them all throughout the night. It came to a point wherein both kids were sick and Paul and I eventually caught the bug too. It was just so hard to care for the kids while you're not in the best condition as well. This got me researching on remedies on how we can have a good night ...

Bag of Beans (Charito) in Tagaytay

I can't believe that we have been frequenting Tagaytay for more than a decade now and not once have I written about Bag of Beans ! I tried searching all over this blog and I found..nothing. To think that not a single trip to Tagaytay, back then, would ever be complete without stopping by Bag of Beans for lunch or merienda. I must have been to engrossed with their coffee and bread that I wasn't able to take photos of the place and their food thus no blog entry. They, after all, have one of the best brewed coffee in Tagaytay and the yummiest bread to go with it too. Bag of Beans has been an institution in Tagaytay. Just like us, other tourists and visitors would make sure to drop by in order to grab a bite or to take home some of their homemade goodies every time they find themselves in Tagaytay. Bag of Beans started with one branch along the Tagaytay-Nasugbu Main Road across Residence Inn Zoo and it wasn't even overlooking the Taal. While they may lack in having a scenic ...

IKEA Singapore Pyjamas Party

For those who have watched the movie 500 Days of Summer starring Zooey Deschanel and my ex-boyfriend Joseph Gordon-Levitt, you probably also loved this scene: Paul and I are regular shoppers of IKEA . It's highly possible that someday, we will be able to furnish our future home with IKEA furniture pieces and items as it has been our go-to place since our 1st day here in Singapore. We would joke that if only we can live in IKEA, we probably would go for it. Well, who would have thought that the opportunity would come for us to "spend the night" in IKEA? A week ago, Paul and I were chosen to be one of the lucky few to join the exclusive IKEA Pyjamas Party . It was a 4-hour event starting at 11PM and we were told to come in..what else?!...our PJs. We were too shy though so we just went in our comfy t-shirt and shorts. Well, some were really brave and came in their full PJs complete with fluffy bedroom slippers! This event was to launch the 2015 IKEA catalogue also...
