Five-star serviced residence, perfect for business travellers.

Joy~Nostalg Hotel & Suites Manila is located in Ortigas, Pasig which is a popular business district and has multiple shopping malls within walking distance.

I enjoyed two nights in a one-bedroom suite which was spacious and comfortable. The kitchen is fully stocked and the room had high speed internet. The shower also has a steam option and there was a TV in the bathroom which was convenient.

The hotel has a rooftop bar on the 43rd floor with panoramic views of Manila Bay, it is the perfect spot for sundowners. They also serve food from the grill to accompany your cocktails.

The hotel’s main restaurant, Nostalgia Lounge & Bar, offers buffet breakfast, lunch and dinner. The breakfast was delicious, the buffet included, pastries, hot dishes, cold meats, cereals and more, the chef will cook your eggs while you wait. 

The indoor heated pool is the perfect place to relax after a long day and be sure to take a dip in the jacuzzi. The pool even has underwater music playing! The fitness center has all the necessary equipment for a good workout.

This hotel is perfect for long stays, or a short staycation when you are in Manila. The suites are pet friendly and spacious for families.

Hyde Park Guest House – a perfect oasis in the hustle and bustle of Johannesburg.

We had the pleasure of staying at Hyde Park Guest House on a recent short visit to Johannesburg.

As a family of four, with 2 young children, it was ideal for us since we were able to have adjoining rooms which gave us plenty of privacy and space. 

We were offered the choice of a cooked breakfast, made to order, there was also a full breakfast buffet with a variety of items to choose from.

Thank you, Elfreda, for a lovely stay. The hospitality from the friendly staff was wonderful, the accommodation was very comfortable and the breakfast was delicious.

Villa Caemilla Beach Boutique Hotel – Relaxed luxury and the perfect location on Boracay Island’s White Beach.

Villa Caemilla is located on Station 3 of Boracay’s White Beach, one of the most famous beaches in the world. Station 3 is the quieter side of the beach, away from the hustle and bustle, so it’s perfect for a relaxing stay.

Upon arrival, we were greeted by the friendly reception staff and were given a handmade garland, fresh coconut water and a cold towel.

The receptionist assisted us with booking an excursion to one of the nearby islands, it was booked within minutes and the guide arrived shortly after. We had an amazing day trip to Magic Island.

Beach Bar

We were given a complimentary beach bag and reusable water bottles and there was a water jug in restaurant where we could fill up anytime. The hotel also has an ATM which was really helpful.

The room had the most perfect view of the ocean and surrounding palm trees. It was the perfect place to relax and watch the sunset. The bedroom was comfortable and the jacuzzi bathtub was amazing.

The restaurant served an à la carte breakfast, I had fresh orange juice and a delicious omelette with a view of the beach. For dinner, I enjoyed the Bitterballen and the crispy chicken wrap, both well-presented and full of flavour. At night the restaurant has the most romantic and beautiful ambience.

If you are looking for a carefree and relaxing beach holiday, this unique boutique hotel is perfect for you, it is great value for money, presenting affordable luxury.
