STAYCATION AT THE JEWEL BY THE BAY: DIAMOND HOTEL PHILIPPINES

        One of my favorite things to do with my family is enjoy a relaxing staycation at a hotel in the metro. Although admittedly it's quite fun to go out of town once in awhile, sometimes you don't really want the hassle of a road trip, but far enough to make the trip worthwhile. 

        I've been to Diamond Hotel numerous times to sample their stunning restaurants. but for the first time, I had the opportunity to enjoy a staycation there with my family. I knew the hotel was beautiful, but this would be my first glimpse at their rooms and other facilities. 

        I was definitely not disappointed! 

AN UNLIMITED DIMSUM FEAST AT LI LI AT NEW WORLD MANILA BAY

           Rarely do the Zamoras find ourselves in the Manila area, but we would cross oceans and climb mountains for some awesome dimsum, and Li Li, the premiere Chinese restaurant of AG New World Manila Bay Hotel, is the home of one of the best Dimsum All You Can Promos that you can find in Metro Manila! 

HOTEL JEN MANILA: WHERE YOU CAN LEAVE BORING BEHIND

          Without a doubt, the Philippines is still a third world country, but you'd never know it from the wide range of internationally renowned luxury hotels scattered around the metropolis. One such hotel often gets lost in the shuffle of the high profiles names is Hotel Jen. Being part of the Shangri-la group, one of the biggest names in hospitality world wide, it's clear to see why Hotel Jen can easily be overshadowed by its higher profile sister companies, but when you cut to the heart of it, when it comes to service and accomodations, Hotel Jen Manila can actually stand side by side with the best in the country today!

PICKIEST VLOG: SAGA STEAK AND SAKE PAIRING AT THE FIREPLACE

           I'm so excited to tell you all about one of the best meals I've had in my entire life. 

If you love steak, then let me tell you this: You MUST try SAGA Steak. I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to try this amazing cut of beef from the Saga prefecture in Japan twice in my life, and the second time was even better than the first. 

HYATT CITY OF DREAMS MANILA: IN A HYATT WORLD

           The City of Dreams Complex had their grand opening in February of 2015, which took the leisure gaming and entertainment tourism scene to a whole new level. I've been around the complex a few times since then, visiting Dreamscape with my family, and having lunch at The Cafe at Hyatt Hotel a few times, and I can say the food was undoubtedly world class, and I was left spellbound with the dazzling interiors and exquisite service.

         So we already knew that their food and banquet was excellent, however it was only a few weeks ago that Rina, Rain and I were invited to enjoy a wonderful weekend at Hyatt City of Dreams, to get a taste of the world renowned service that has made Hyatt such a prestigious name in hospitality. 

     This is our experience In A Hyatt World.

Well, A few weeks ago, Rina and I found ourselves braving the infamous Metro Manila traffic to head on over to Roxas Boulevard, for a very special reason, indeed... The First Anniversary Celebration of Hotel Jen!
