One should be called crazy when he or she would just stay for a short while in the beautiful island of Boracay.  But one is crazier when she's already in Aklan and not visit Boracay right?  That's me, the crazy one, who braved traveling alone to the island one afternoon (after work assignment) and stayed in the island for less than 24 hours.  Albeit the shortness of my stay, I made sure it was worth while.

One of the things I find fulfilling when travelling alone is continually discovering something new in an already familiar place.  One of these new discoveries is The Sun Villas Beachfront Resort & Spa Boracay, a quiet but homey hotel accommodation right in between Stations 1 & 2.

The Sun Villas Beachfront Resort is located between Station 1 & 2.

During our stay at The Bellevue Hotel Manila which I wrote about HERE, I mentioned that we were billeted at the Signature Floor where hotel guests could enjoy more perks during their stay.  One of these perks is an access to the exclusive lounge called The Bellevue Signature Club located at the hotel's 21st floor which occupies the whole 900-square meter space.

Mother's Day passed and if you noticed, I haven't really written about my celebration.  But this, I will not let pass without telling you about it - our quick post-Mother's-Day-getaway at Taal Vista Hotel in Tagaytay City.  I've frequented the hotel as their corporate client and as part of work.  But this time, I was back, and with the whole family, for two days to relax and simply take a break from the hustles and bustles of our usual stressful city life.

From SM MOA (where we were picked up by Taal Vista Hotel's service van), travelling to the hotel only took us an hour and a half.  It was a perfect day to travel with the family.  We enjoyed the simple pleasure of having a safe drive to the hotel on a wonderfully sunny day.  Navigating your way to the hotel was easy.  Taal Vista Hotel is located at Kilometer 60, Aguinaldo Highway, Tagaytay City.  It's right beside Sky Ranch, Tagaytay's newest theme park.
There is something reminiscent about Taal Vista Hotel whenever I step on it.  You know the feeling of familiarity and being very at-home?  That was my heart's state upon arriving the hotel.

Our summer this year is full-packed with swimming activities, sports activities, arts and crafts at home and a few hotel staycations.  I'm happy that my children are busy with those activities and we tell them that we are blessed we get to experience them.  Going to resorts or staying in hotels are some of the activities we call totally fun as a family.  Last month, we were invited by my very sweet and thoughtful friend and Queen of the South, JANE GO of Sugar Go Spice to a 3D/2N hotel staycation at the only 5-star hotel in the South, The Bellevue Manila.

In her words, "Can't wait to show you my part of town, Louise!"  I knew at instant we'll be very good friends!  I always tell her how thoughtful, sweet and kind she is that's why her readers truly adore her!  She's so real and very down-to-earth too!  Macky and I both looooove her! :)

Last March 29, my family, together with the families of other food and lifestyle bloggers, had an opportunity to experience a relaxing and tummy-filled weekend staycation at F1 Hotel Manila located at Bonifacio Global City.  We were invited to try out their Lenten Dishes, the LuzViMinda Buffet and of course the comfortable and relaxing suites.
