Villa Caceres Gastronomy

Villa Caceres Gastronomy 

Three of the best places to dine in Naga City
are in- house restaurants of Villa Caceres Hotel.



RJ’s Buffet, definitely the most extensive buffet
not only in Naga City but for whole Bicol as well.


Anne’s Poolside Restaurant where one
could feast on awesome boodle meals,





…and of course, Rolando's Café  that offers
some of the best Filipino and Chinese dishes.

 

We returned to Rolando once more as we missed
the food and ordered Sinigang na Sugpo. This is
one of our favorite dishes in this restaurant as the
prawns are huge and plump and the soup was so
delicious and just had the right degree of sourness,

 


We loved the hale Fresh Lumpia as the veggies
appeared garden-fresh and were crisp and crunchy,
like they have just been plucked from the garden.


The Tortang Talong was just
as fresh and just as delicious.


We never fail to order Sweet and Sour Fish
whenever we dine here as we are always
craving for this yummy Rolando’s version of
this deliciously sweet and tangy Chinese dish.

 

Rolando's Cafe is one restaurant where we could 
actually  leave with  totally clean plates as the food 
is so good and we would end eating everything up.  

 

 Villa Caceres Hotel is the place to dine for
the best gastronomic choices in the city.

Tryp by Wyndham MOA: Basic, No Frills Hotel

Tryp by Wyndham MOA
 Basic, No Frills Hotel

We arrived late in the afternoon Tryp by Wyndham MOA
after a short fourty- five minutes flight from Naga City.



Tryp by Wyndham MOA had
a concierge at the entrance,



…and one had to take the escalator



…to the moderately sized hip Pinoy
travel- inspired designed modern lobby.





Check in was a breeze,and the people 
at the front desk were friendly,



...and we were immediately
 on our way to our room-

 

....at the 6th floor.

 

Stay 

Our suite, Premium Twin Room 
had two nice and comfy twin beds,
enough for a family of four to fit in.

 

 It had a nice bay window that
could also serve as an extra bed.



There was an elongated
wooden ledge in front-

 

…that serves as an all in one, unified
vanity area, working and reading desk,



… as a counter top for the minibar.



Right below the counter
is a personal refrigerator,



…and up above was the flat, widescreen digital TV.



The room was provided with
 medium sized closet,



.i..with really nothing much in it.

  

 It had rather small basic toilet and shower area



… provided with adequate toiletries.







The room had only one
landline phone at the bed.



We were very happy with the very fast
and complimentary Wi Fi connection

.Stray 

Tryp by Wyndham MOA is located
few blocks away from the Mall of Asia,



…and offers a free hour shuttle to
one of the biggest malls in Manila.

 

Play 

Tryp by Wyndham MOA has
a  roof top swimming pool.

 

…overlooking the scenic Manila Bay.



It also has a modern and well equipped gym.



Feast 

Milagritos

Milagritos is the hotel’s only in house restaurant



 …that serves a decent spread of breakfast buffet,



…and delicious ala carte dishes the rest of the day. 

 

-0-0-0-0-0-0- 

Tryp by Wyndham MOA is an is a brand new hotel
within walking distance to the  SM Mall of Asia.



It has a sleek, contemporary
comfortable modern suite rooms,



…with awesome rooftop pool, that offers a breathtaking 
view of the scenic, albeit smelly Manila Bay.



It is a hotel for those looking for a  budget,
no frills, basic accommodation on Manila.

Garden Wing Shangri-La Suite: Luxury At It’s Best


Garden Wing Shangri-La Suite
Luxury At It’s Best

Edsa Shangri-La is my family’s favorite hotel and
our home away from home whenever we are in Manila.



There is not a year that we have not stayed here

 

…and I have already reviewed almost all the rooms
in this hotel in this blog, pre and post renovation.

 

This time however, I am reviewing the 
fabulous Garden Wing Shangri-La Suite. 

Stay 

Located at the rear rounded tip of the hotel's  Garden Wing,
 this is probably one of the biggest rooms Edsa Shangri La. 



It has a very spacious living room
with classic Gregorian design.

 

There was a huge, sofa bed,

 

…which could turn into
an extra queen sized bed,

 

… in front is a huge flat screen TV,
with superb audio/video system.

 

 There was a working/ study table on one corner,

 

…provided with adequate office supplies,

 

…and varied electrical outlets that would fit
any electronic gadget from all over the world,.

 

The a mini bar was at the portal

 

 

 

… and with a well stocked mini- refrigerator.

 

 It had a panoramic window with a vie
of the pool and the hotel’s leisure area.

 

The Bedroom was just as spacious
also with classic Gregorian touch.

 

There was a humongous king sized bed,
that could sleep four persons comfortably

 
 
...which comes with a pillow menu.

 

There was large flat screen LCD TV,

 

…and another working/ study table
that served as our vanity area.

 

There was a floor to ceiling panoramic windows that
provide a view of the hotel’s resort like leisure facility,
and the skyline of the booming Ortigas Center,

 

The was a spacious walk in closet-

 

 

…provided with all extra amenities,



…to make our stay homey
and extra- comfortable.

 

 

The best part of the suite room
is the huge, luxurious bathroom.

 

It had a high tech comfort-height toilets that are taller
than regular toilet bowls, making it easier for the elderly
or anyone with debility to sit down and stand back up.

 

It was also equipped with a self cleaning device,
a heated seat and a Toto's Washlet toilet with
integrated bidet  with soothing aerated spray.

 

There was Jacuzzi,.

 

... with an awesome view of the booming Ortigas center.
if you're daring enough to open the window shades .

 

The shower serves as a sauna
and steam bath at the same time.

 

 

The bathroom had abundant
supply signature of toiletries,

  

 

 

…and lots and lots of
fresh smelling towels.

 

Connectivity is not a problem as
it had a free fast Wi Fi internet, 


There were three land- line phones,
the first one in the  living room,

 

…another one by the bedside,

 

…and a third one on the bathroom.

 

This fact is taken- when id come to luxury, comfort,
affordability  and awesome guest services,  nothing 
can beat a Shangri-la Hotel wherever it may be. 

 

This post is just a room review.
