You must have a confirmed reservation first before going here for a staycation. Before checking in, you are required to do a temperature check and scan QR codes for health declaration and registration form. Also, DON’T FORGET TO WEAR YOUR FACE MASK AND FACE SHIELD.

Watch our vlog and anniversary staycation at UNWND Lux Hostel:

After verifying your registration form and health declaration, they will give you a welcome drink.

We immediately liked the vibe and interiors of the hostel. Every corner is instagrammable from the lobby area. You can also dine in here, in case you are wondering.

PS: They also have a cool elevator inside!

Aside from that, we also spot some board games and pinball machines. This is literally heaven for all those who want to chill in the hostel.

The hostel has also good paintings around the area and along the hallway.

For our room, we got the Triple Room which is good for 3 pax already. The room has 2 beds. The room is sanitized every day, btw! The room has also 2 aircon but we used one aircon at a time only. HEHE

The lavatory and CR are located on the second bed (right). The room smells so nice too!

They also have complimentary toiletries and safety kits! It also comes with free slippers. Yes, we took home the slippers! LOL

For the food, don’t worry. As we’ve mentioned earlier, they have a restaurant inside the hostel. You can choose to eat at the lobby or at the roof deck.

You can also visit WYP, which is a few-minute walk from UNWND Lux Hostel. Read our blog post at WYP restaurant below:

We spent our breakfast and dinner at the roof deck. This is where the jacuzzi is located also. We enjoyed all the food we had at UNWND Lux Hostel. They also make sure that the utensils are sanitized by putting it inside a small paper bag.

For our dinner, we had the following food and drinks. We suggest to dine in here at night since the view is great!

The pizza is so good! The cocktail drinks we had were quite strong but also good. The red thing in the Filipino Summer is chili, by the way! HAHA

We also got a customized dessert from them too! Thank you for the sweet gesture, UNWND!

And for our breakfast, here’s the food we got:

The Breakfast of Champions is a winner! The souffle pancakes are also a god-tier! For the drinks, you can choose between a coffee or juice but since we are coffee lovers, we opted to chose the coffee. The complimentary chocolate bars made our day too!

For the amenities, you can find all of them at the fifth floor. This is where the gym, sauna, spa, and jacuzzi are located. The spa is not operational yet though.

To use the jacuzzi, you must have a schedule. You can inform the staff of your chosen time. You have 1 hour to enjoy the jacuzzi to yourselves. Every after use, they clean the water.

Lelita Hotel: Safecation is the new normal

Finally, received the good news! Staycation is now allowed in Metro Manila. Immediately, we searched for a hotel in Zen Rooms and found this new hotel in Makati, which is Lelita Hotel.

Lelita Hotel was established last June 2019 and is located in Bangkal, Makati. The hotel has 7 floors and a roof deck. But due to the pandemic, their roof deck is currently unavailable until further notice.

What we liked about this hotel was they are following safety protocols such as: foot bath and alcohol/hand sanitizers upon entrance, temperature check before checking-in, and you must fill out health declaration form.

We also noticed that the employees in the hotel are wearing PPEs for the safety of their guests.

We also had a hassle-free check-in. They only need 1 valid ID and they also have a security deposit worth 1,000 PHP which is refundable upon checking-out.

For the room, what we noticed was the room is very spacious and clean. They also provide toiletries such as bath towels, tissues, soaps, shampoo with conditioner, and a dental kit.

You can see that the room is organized and the CR is properly sanitized. Also, they have a WIFI inside the hotel and it has a strong connection.

They also gave us complimentary bottled waters after checking-in. They also have a hair dryer, electric kettle, glasses, and a pitcher.

As of now, they don’t offer complimentary breakfast in the hotel but they have a store located at the lobby or you can also get your food delivered from your favorite food delivery apps but the food delivery riders are not allowed to enter the hotel for safety protocols.

You may pickup your orders outside instead just like we did. There are also convenient stores nearby the hotel if you opted not to order food.

Overall, the hotel is not much on the aesthetic side yet it compensates with safety and cleanliness. We had a great stay at Lelita Hotel!

Casa Amapola: Tango-inspired room in Makati

It was a fine Saturday when we decided to have a staycation in Makati. I immediately opened my TravelBook.PH app to check where can we stay. And I found this bed & breakfast that is just few blocks away from Rockwell Powerplant Mall.

ABOUT CASA AMAPOLA

This b&b is an old residential house before. To make it more appealing to everyone, they make the house a tango-inspired room which combines art and business inside.

Our room, Una Emocion, has a king-size bed, two chairs with furry mat, office chair, cable TV, air-con, WiFi connection, cabinet, sofa, and a comfort room.

It also has its own terrace but I forgot to take a pic outside. Hihi. Upon going up to our room, this is your view upstairs.

LOBBY

I found their lobby quite creepy. Look at the ambiance and the interiors around. Plus, this is located in a quiet village in Makati.

Also, before I forgot, it also comes with a complimentary breakfast. We chose to have our breakfast in our room.

Where to book?

You can book this room for only 2,400 php per night at TravelBook.PH.

To be honest, I really liked our room design. Actually, I want my own room to be like this. sans the air-con that’s not really cold. I think it is because the model of the air-con is outdated. Hope they do something about it. The ambiance of the hotel gave us this creepy feeling. At night, the whole village started to look like a ghost town. Plus, I also want the staff to be more accommodating to their customers to make their customers feel welcome.
