Reasons You Should Fall In Love With Somerset Alabang Manila.

My first visit to the Somerset Hotel was during the time that I needed a venue for one of my marketing activities. I remember when I entered the lobby area, the staff were very courteous and polite. That was the time that I said to myself that I would go back there.

Gotcha! I needed to book a staycation, and I immediately prioritized Somerset. I booked at www.booking.com. We took advantage of their hotel promo with a free buffet breakfast. We stayed there from June 24 until June 25.

At the Lobby Area

We had a great night at Somerset. Their rooms are very clean and feature contemporary interiors with modern amenities. You will find a laundry basket, a laundry bag, a bathrobe, a flat iron, and an ironing board. Their CR has their own bathtub and shower.

By the way, Somerset was located in the vibrant Filinvest City in Alabang. It is very accessible from the airport. Makati is 16 kilometers from Manila, which is 21 kilometers away.

Somerset features an outdoor swimming pool.

The tempting choices of food in the buffet breakfast were so enticing that I was unable to taste all of them, but of course I wasn't able to take pictures because I was so hungry after my 30 minutes of swimming and playing at the pool.

Breads

Other amenities are the following: a fitness center, a residents' lounge, and a cubby playroom for kids. They also offer a host of business support facilities such as function rooms, a boardroom, and serviced offices that are ideal for business travelers.

Overall, we had a very enjoyable and relaxing weekend at Somerset Alabang Manila. Thank you, HB, for making our stay possible. It was a very memorable day for me. ☺☺☺ xoxo

CARAMOAN ISLAND

Unexpected travel in the Bicol region.

I was about to share my story of love for nature. I was invited to take a 2-day and 1-night exploration to Caramoan Island in Camarines Sur and Mayon Volcano in Legaspi, Albay. That was a very tiring journey composed of 12 hours of travelling via private SUV, but upon arriving at those destinations, all the negative energies disappeared. I also noticed during our travel that the south area of the Philippines is surrounded by lots of trees and plants compared to the north area, where you will feel at peace. From Naga City to Caramoan Island, it took a 4-hour drive via zigzag road. Imagine that you're on a very long roller coaster ride. Dizziness visited my head, but because of the fresh air, I imagined that we were climbing a very high mountain where paradise awaited us.
 
We arrived there at 10:30 am, and we were so hungry that we decided to have lunch. Our lunch consisted of my favorite sea foods like shrimp and kinilaw na tanigue. We also had sinigang na baboy, and that was a very sumptuous lunch for me.

After that, we just rested for a while and prepared for island hopping. I have my pictures below. By the way, I watched a movie last week entitled XXX: Return of Xander Cage, and I saw that one of the scenes there was taken at Caramoan Island. That was so great! Imagine if the great Vin Diesel went there. http://news.abs-cbn.com/life/01/23/17/review-vin-diesel-is-back-as-xander-cage-in-new-xxx-movie

The next day, we continued our journey by going to Mayon Volcano. That was my first visit to the well-known and captivating perfect cone-shaped mountain. We took pictures with my sisters and brother. That was so amazing; lots of fun and adventure! We even bought different fruit shakes, but of course I never included siling labuyo in my buko shake. I can't imagine that I was sipping spicy drinks. A big no-no for me. I can't bear to eat spicy foods.

Mayon Volcano View

I hope you all imagine how beautiful our own country is! Until next time, special
thanks to my sister Michelle and her boyfriend for making my journey possible. Hugs. 😊
