FAMILY STAYCATION AT OAKWOOD PREMIERE

It had been quite some time since our last staycation at a hotel as a family , I guess the fact that my step-mom had retired from Sofitel made some difference huh? But this time around, they decided to try Oakwood and though I am not really sure why but I guess they have someone here who can easily set them up and also get a discount hehehe... But the location was just fine with me as it was just near Ortigas and we did not have to take a cab like in Sofitel but just walked there from Robinson’s Ortigas. We left for Oakwood when we finished the laundry at around 4pm na and got there at around 7p.m., just in time to have dinner.

The rooms were quite nice and we had one to ourselves that had 2 beds and a very nice bathroom. I guess this is one thing that I like most about hotels, their uber clean bathrooms that had my dream glass doors. Then, the other room (the master bedroom) had a huge king-sized bed and a small divan beside it where my sister shall be holed in for the night. Their bathroom is quite something too since it had a bathtub with a TV where one can watch while relaxing in the tub – quite the life huh! There was another room, I guess for my half sister and her family but I was unable to take pictures of it na... The place we rented had a very big dining area and sala with a very modern kitchen and what’s more – a laundry room where one can wash clothes!

We settled in comfortably for the night, after having dinner and blowing cake (for the November birthday celebrants). Then, the next day, I realized one more reason why I and the rest of the kids are starting to love Oakwood premiere...it had a gym that we can use for free and a huge pool that the kids totally loved! Now I guess the kids won’t start whining about missing Sofitel hehehe. What is even better is that because of its location, we can easily leave to go to the mall (unlike Sofitel that required cabs or own cars) and Greenhills! Well, that’s what I promised the kids when I told them that we can leave early the next day and not wait for Papa (who was playing golf at nearby Camp Aguinaldo) anymore to return so they could experience Christmas shopping at the only airconditioned tiangge in PH. (The shopping experience shall be the subject of my next post.) Here's hoping we will be seeing more of Oakwood soon!
