March
28, 2014 – After getting our keycard from the hotel reception area, we went up
to the 4th floor via elevator here in Azalea Residences Baguio, its our home
hotel in Baguio for 4 days, we arrived here at around 8:30pm, we didn’t felt
tired during the bus travel, because we took the 1st class bus ride via Victory
Liner, our 6 hours ride is just like hanging out in our living room or bed room
with wheels.
My wife and son are so
excited to see the look of our hotel room, I stayed here in Azalea for a 3rd time and I’m sure they will not be
disappointed, because if my family prefers a luxury setting for a hotel, then
Azalea Residences is the best for them, because according the hotel’s tagline
that they provide the modern comfort and luxury to their guests.
And I
was right… their words are: “WHOAAAAA!” then I saw my son running around the
living room and my wife jumping with joy because of the nice setting of the two
bedroom with worth of PHP7k per 3D2N during summer season.
The
1st to visit is the kitchen area, my wife stored our food left overs and snacks
inside the refrigerator. You can see my son here in hyper mode running around
with joy hahahaa.
In
every hotel here in Manila, I always find the best workstation, for me, I chose
this dining table as my workstation for blogging and social media communication
with my friends. There’s an electric plug near the coffee station and electric
stove. I can place all my gadgets here so that I can see them whenever I’m
inside the room, and also to remind me to use and bring the gadget with me
whenever we tour around Baguio.
Wifi inside our room and also Wifi
within the Azalea Residence Baguio is improving, the wifi signal and speed is a
better, its fast and with strong signal. They already fixed the low signal issue
from my last visit in November 2013. Good job!!
The
view of the main door, ref and kitchen sink.
There
are two bedrooms, this will be my room, the one near the main door. The room is
small and perfect for single occupancy only. it has its own dresser, cabinet,
LCD tv with cable and ceiling fan.
take note: They don’t have air
condition inside the deluxe rooms, just use the ceiling fan to blew more of the
cold breeze of Baguio. If you want to have a room with aircon, then you can book
also for their Presidential Suite room worth PHP32k. My blogger friends were
lucky to try that room for awhile as their holding area, the hotel staff lent
the room for awhile when they arrived early in Azalea and their room is not yet
ready.
Here’s
another view with the ceiling.
I didn’t do any color correction for my
photos, I just want you to see what I see with my eyes and also with my camera
lens. The yellowish light ambiance gave a warm and comfy feeling.
Inside
my bedroom! yeahhhba!
The
living room area – with sofa (converts to sofa bed), terrace, ceiling fan and
LCD TV, there’s also a phone were you can call the hotel operator 24/7.
Lace
and Ashton’s room
A bedroom good for two people. Same set up with own LCD
tv, bathroom, ceiling fan, phone, cabinet and dresser.
here
are the family fun packages of Azalea Residences Baguio all year round.
You
can see here that the rates are very okay for a 3D2N stay in Baguio. I expect
that summer rates are a bit high, but then I noticed that during December to
January are a big different and higher, I guess they have more bookings during
Christmas or –Ber months because of the colder weather in Baguio.
During
November- January the temp goes down up to at least 18C, but for summer it was
25C at day and around 23C at night. The weather becomes cooler if it rains at
night during summer. Yeah, they are so lucky that they have rain during summer
season.
Here
are some rates of different rooms in Azalea Residences Baguio. I don’t have a
photo of the Presidential Suite, but you can check out Ron’s blog for a coverage
of their short stay, visit:

The
Presidential Suite is a two floor of room with 3 bedrooms and nice living room
with fireplace.
At
the main level of our room, here I check the bathroom near the living room. This
will be my own bathroom and as usual…here’s my signature photo op with the
mirror.
Hot and Cold shower and bath towels
Towel area and the toilet.. im so glad they have bidet
Toiletries galore! toothpaste, toothbrush, powder, soap,
shampoo, conditioner, lotion and shower gel.
Mommy
and baby room
Their
own tv inside their room.
The
living room.
I always sleep here at the sofa bed, and because that there’s a
bedroom for me..I just chose to try the bed hahahaha. If you want to use the
sofa bed, just call the operator for some assistance, a hotel staff will visit
you and help you set it up.
Mommy
and baby bathroom…. just checking it out… same quality with the bathroom near
the living room.
We’re
so excited to tour around in Baguio ahhaaha
thank you Azalea Residences
Baguio!
Oh
wait.. there’s a letter for me…thank you again!!! On my next visit…I will try
to cook our own food inside the room.
it is indeed that Azalea is a real
holiday haven in Baguio.
Its
dinner time… our friends who arrived early in Baguio told us that we have a
dinner in Tradisyon Restaurant, the inhouse resto of Azalea, there’s a Mongolian
buffet for all.
But before we go down to eat our dinner…we have to finish
first viewing the latest episode of our favorite travel show – Biyahe ni Drew in
GMA News TV.
After
watching our fave travel show..we already imagined a beach tour next time
hahaha
but first we have to enjoy the cold breeze here in Baguio. We took the
elevator going to the first level for our mighty
dinner!!
okay.adventurers!! get ready!
Inside
Tradisyon restaurant… we arrived 1 hour before the closing of the
buffet..yikes.. some veggies already ran out of stock..but I’m glad that the
resto staff replenish the food right away. I customized my own Mongolion food
here, I’m glad that I semi-perfect the mix after those trial and error back in
the days of my eat all you can dining in a Mongolian buffet in Sweet
Inspirations restaurant in Katipunan, QC
We
reconnected with our blogger friends who arrived early that day, our dinner is a
bit quiet ahahahaa because we’re hungry and partly tired from the bus trip.

Here’s
my mongolion bowl! haahahaha.
panalo! mabuti hindi maalat.
Here’s
mommy and baby at the front door of the hotel. Ashton wants to try the
playground. The weather that night is a bit cooler because of a short downpour.
My
view of the playground and the awesome backdrop of Azalea Residences Baguio
hotel.
First
time to see Ashton climb on its own to any kiddie ride inside the playground
hahhah.
He’s so hyper and it seems that he stored a lot of energy for this
trip.
During
our day two stay in Baguio… I accidentally injured myself during our tour…
stupid me…I know..
my healed wound on my right knee…now it’s a scar with soft
flesh…. was torn again after I planted my knee on a rough pavement during our
group photo op. It bleeds and its painful.
We went back to Azalea
Residences Baguio to rest after our tour… and I’m glad that the hotel offered
some assistance…they sent Nurse Arian to our room and she treated first aid on
my injured knee. Oh man… It was a painful when I felt the anti bacterial
solution bubbling on my wound. Nurse Arian cleansed the wound and she wrapped it
with bandage.
I didn’t expected this hotel have their inhouse
nurse…awesome!! thank you again Azalea Residences!!!
you can also
request some medicines if you badly need it to beat fever, pain or for your
wound.
