Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday to my dearest friend and partner in crime! Enjoy your special day!

Santa Clara Park Hotel

We stayed at Santa Clara Park Hotel last December 15 and 16, 2013 during the first two days of our Sorsogon-Bicol anniversary trip. It is located at Maharlika Highway, Pangpang, Sorsogon City. This hotel is near Sorsogon Medical Mission Group Hospital.

The place was really nice and the staff were friendly. It was like a big garden. I just noticed that they don't have a full time receptionist. Also, they don't offer food but not to worry, Sorsogon proper is just 3 to 5 minutes away from here.
Their standard room is Php1500 overnight. The room was really spacious.

It has a Queen size bed, air conditioning unit, cable television, toilet and bath. What I like about this room is the view from our window.

Afternoon view (cloudy)

Morning view (Sunny day) ^_^

This place has a mini bar. 

 We also explored the place and found these.

The place was really quiet. A good place to relax. ^_^

I definitely would love to go back in this place in the future!

Sample Room: Try Before You Buy!

I came across this site months ago that says "Try before you buy" and that tag line made me really curious. It is a local sampling site that offers local to international brands and from upscale brands to budget great finds.

This is good for people who wants to try the products first before buying a full size. Take note, they sometimes offer full sized products for free! (which I really love!♥♥♥) Sample Room lets you try free samples and you just need to pay for the shipping fee and they will deliver it right to your doorstep. You just have to register and they will give you free points (100) upon registration. Each corresponding sample has a given number of points to be availed. You will use your points to avail the free sample. Click here for more.

Their website was really nice and easy to navigate. The colors are very girly as if everything in their website will make you pretty and sexy! Ahaha!

They have a lot of brand partners. Some are AHAVA, benefit, C-Lium fibre, Calvin Klein, CarbTrim, Charm, Clinique, Celeteque, Dove, Ferrari, Mustela, Shiseido, OraCare and many more. Products mostly are for skin care, skin lightening, perfumes, hair care and some slimming products.

I was able to get samples twice. I will make a review in my next post.

Fernandina Garden Suites

As I was browsing where to stay because I really want to take a time off but I wanted to stay in the Metro, I came across this sort of new hotel located at G. Araneta Ave, Quezon City. They have this Piso Nights promo "stay for 2 consecutive nights and get the 2nd night for only 1 peso." 

I booked through directwithhotels.com. We stayed in a standard room last August 27-29, 2013.

Their standard room has a Queen size bed, air con, cable TV and mini ref. We transferred to another room because they cannot open the door of the comfort room of the first one. 

The location was quite hard to find because the driver was not familiar with the hotel. It is located beside a warehouse and around a residential area.

The experience was just okay. They have 15 rooms. The room is nice but the food for me is expensive. Also as to what we experienced, the wifi connection was very poor. 

On our second day, the receptionist called us to inform that there is a payment for extension. I just told her "2 days po yung reservation namin." Maybe she overlooked our check in dates.

We tried their breakfast (complimentary) - tapsilog and we also ordered Club house sandwich that I really like! Ahahaha! Good thing the food was nice.

If you will stay here, choose a room that is far from the road.
