Relax at Thai Temple Spa

School is in full swing and I kinda got overwhelmed with what Z needs to accomplish in just the first quarter. So, if you’re like me, I know you’ll badly need some relaxing. And a massage sounds good, right?! Great news for the San Juan moms (and nearby areas), Thai Temple Spa is now open!

I appreciate that they focus on massages.

Rowena, Michelle, Cai and I decided to get the Thai Foot Massage. It was a great bonding experience because as you get your feet and legs some lovin’, you can catch up on chika! But if you really want to relax, you can opt to sleep and hide behind your curtain. I thoroughly enjoyed the foot massage! Though, I had to tell my therapist to lighten up the pressure a little, it was heavenly!

Ro and I’s turn. They used a foot scrub to ensure cleanliness.

Before they dimmed the lights, picture muna!

After the 60 minute Thai Foot Massage, Ro and I tried out their Back Massage for 30 minutes (add on to any service for P150). I stayed away from back massages before because every time I will avail of it, there would be that uncomfortable feeling. But Thai Temple Spa’s back massage didn’t give me additional pain in my back. I really felt my muscles unknot.

I learned that some massages should be done on the floor to ensure proper pressure is given.

I’m now planning my next visit to try out the Body Scrub! Though the place doesn’t have ample parking spaces, its price points, well-trained therapists and relaxing ambiance make it worth a visit.

Staycation at Conrad Manila

Our third staycation for this year might be the best one, yet! My mom has been telling me to book a room at Conrad Manila ever since it opened last year and I knew the perfect time to stay there was during the Pyrolympics. So, on the last night when France and Philippines will be displaying their fireworks show, we had the best seats available!

Everything about this hotel is picturesque! Upon entering the lobby on the 3rd floor, you will be greeted by the view of the Manila Bay in their floor-to-ceiling glass windows. Y and I were both stunned and must have had our jaws dropped at the scene.

Check-in time is at 3PM so you'll definitely be welcomed with this view. — Check-in time is at 3PM so you’ll definitely be welcomed with this view.

Since we were there for the Pyrolympics, we were advised to get a Suite. It was comfortable for our group composed of 5 adults and 2 kids. Both Z and Y were all “Wow’s” about our room, even asking if it was our new house.

Before the show, we stuffed ourselves silly at the Executive Lounge located at the 7th floor where they have cocktail hour nightly. Unlimited alcohol, yeah! The food was really good so we expected the buffet breakfast to be at par.

And the breakfast buffet at Brasserie on 3 did not disappoint! For just P950 per person, you’ll be treated to two tables of pastries, a salmon bar, a selection of Filipino and Western breakfast staples, an assortment of Japanese sushi and Chinese dumplings and a juice bar! Yup, we were full until the afternoon!

After breakfast, you can lounge by the pool which is on the same floor. It was a little bit cold so we didn’t stay that long. A small part of the pool is just 2 feet so it’s perfect for little kids! They have lounge chairs and day beds around the pool so we were tempted to get a Corona to complete the experience!

True to the hotel’s tagline, we left inspired and rejuvenated for another week! Staycations in an amazing place like Conrad Manila is the perfect breather for a yaya-less mom like me. Shout-out to JB Aquino for all the perks and suggestions. Thinking of booking again soon!

Oh by the way, here are some pictures of the fireworks taken using my Huawei P9.

Staycation at Shangri La Fort

We welcomed 2017 with a much-needed respite at Shangri La Fort. Here’s a quick tour of our Deluxe King room priced at 10,000++.

Honestly, I expected more given the price tag. I liked the bed and pillows of Discovery Primea more maybe because it felt softer, like I was sinking into the mattress. With Shangri La Fort’s bed, it felt normal, just like our bed at home.

The highlight of the kids’ stay was playing at Adventure Zone! The room included two whole-day passes (priced at P800 each). I appreciate how strict the staff were, even checking the temperatures of everyone going in. There was a separate play area for toddlers with a small slide, blocks and other manipulative objects. The big play area is famous for its 90-degree drop slide, which I was too chicken to try. Bry left Z to play with the other boys as going around the playground was really tiring. There was also a pretend play area but to our dismay, there wasn’t much to play pretend with.

Buffet breakfast in the hotel’s High Street Cafe was included in the room package. It was an extensive array of food, but nothing out of the usual. I’m just sad I wasn’t able to try the Laksa everyone was raving about.

The whole complex had everything – salon, shopping stores, lots of restaurants and the very posh Kerry Sports Manila. Bry and I even got a night out of drinking, because its location was accessible to BGC’s bars!

Will we go back? Maybe for Adventure Zone or if they have really good (cheap!) deals.
