Another international Hotel brand has opened its doors to all Cebuanos, Tourists, and Guests - that's Holiday Inn Cebu City. After its two weeks of operations, we were able to experience the Thailand-style of hospitality here in Cebu. It's another Business Hotel in the center of Cebu Business Park but Holiday Inn Cebu City is proud of its Earth-Friendly programs and endeavors. Check out my Facebook REELS for a quick summary of my workcation at Holiday Inn Cebu City.

ROOMS

Standard King Room - I finally experience their spacious Standard room which has a great city view of Cebu Business Park and its heart, the Ayala Center Cebu. Their Standard room has 25 sqm featuring modern decor and high speed internet access, each room comes with our signature Soft and Firm pillows, high quality beddings, ensuite bathroom, full service amenities, and 45 inch LED TV. And of course, the WORKDESK is a PLUS Point especially to us, Bachelors or Freelancers who just wanted a green yet lovely skyscapers view of Cebu City. 

WorkDesk - this special area of the Standard room or any room is actually my favorite. Their internet access is not really that fast but it can complete any office tasks. This area is so comfy working with soft and firm pillows or just focusing on your work tasks at their work desk. And while your brain cells are brainstorming, your eyes are feasting on the beauty of Cebu Business Park skyscrapers.

AMENITIES AND HOTEL FEATURES

Waiting Area and Lobby -  Their waiting area is so spacious! I love the sleek decoration and so modern! They also have a special area for Browsing and or printing documents. Holiday Inn Cebu City really exceeded my expectations! 

Swimming Pool -  Their outdoor pool is part of their Entertainment and Recreation Feature.

Gym - Their Complimentary Fitness Center is not that spacious yet they have the standard equipment such as Elliptical Machines, Free Weights, Stationary Bicycle, and Treadmill.  The Fitness Center is located on the 7th Floor of the hotel and operates 24/7. Access to the Fitness Center is free for all guests.

Hours of Operation: 12:00 AM to 12:00 AM

FOOD AND BEVERAGES

It was last week when PAG-ASA announced the start of the Rainy Season here in the Philippines. That means it's Summer Finale already! Good thing, I and two of my blogger friends, Etienne Chantal and Lloyd Chua were able to book a round trip Cebu Pacific Air flight to Philippine's famous Boracay Island! So our Summer Laboracay started and ended graciously in Belmont Hotel Boracay. 

HOW TO BOOK?

BREAKFAST BUFFET GALORE!!!

Available every day from 6AM to 10 AM, Belmont Hotel Boracay Belmont Cafe's wide choices of Breakfast Buffet is always what I am looking forward to when I book a stay at the hotel. Imagine, you are all sweating after the early morning bike or workout, what else makes us better after? Of course, the sumptuous Breakfast of Belmont Hotel Boracay!

A vibrant all-day dining experience awaits our guests as Belmont Café offers a contemporary feast for the palate. Inspired by the surrounding ridge and powdery white sand beach, the food and beverage selection celebrates the bounty of both land and sea with its Asian and Mediterranean influences. The use of quality fresh produce is part of the menu as it supports local farmers to ensure sustainability.

Who's the very busy person at home? Aside from our hardworking Fathers, it is always our Mothers who've done a lot at home, at work, and as a Mother to us. No, this is not a Mother's Day post but an appreciation to all our loving Mothers out there. How about helping them in our very own way by recommending to her what's best for the family during her Grocery?

In our way of living, there's one brand or company that always accompanies us through ups and downs. Not to mention the covid-19 pandemic, their products are always there to help us protect ourselves from the virus and other bacteria. And if you are guessing right, yes I am talking about Procter and Gamble (P&G)! 

Procter and Gamble (P&G) is the maker of Safeguard, Head and Shoulders, among others. It has been a well-trusted brand for our health and of course, Beauty needs. It  has been trusted in millions of living rooms, kitchens, laundry rooms, and bathrooms—and have been passed down from generation to generation - and I should say, my grandmother really loved using Safeguard! 

So, let's get back to the topic of helping our Mothers!!! In this "wired" or online era, let's help teach our mothers how to shop online so that they can get back their free time for themselves and for their beauty rest. How? How about introducing to Moms that when shopping for the whole family, let's go to Shopee as we can enjoy savings up to 50% off when we shop our daily hygiene and skincare essentials from P&G Beauty and Olay on Shopee's 7.7 Mid-Year Sale! That would be a great and best Deal and Discount, right?

Convenience is the key! When you have a certain feature that is for sure very useful, why not utilize it or maximize its use? That's why my friend, you need to register and open up a ShopeePay account! Now, let me show you the five things we can do with ShopeePay!

Nowadays, there are mobile apps for just about everything, even for activities like shopping or making financial transactions that we previously could not do online. With thousands of apps available for our use, it's best to choose one with different features so you don’t have to constantly switch between apps. Are you looking for versatility and convenience? Then ShopeePay is for you. To get started, simply download the Shopee app, and activate and verify your ShopeePay Wallet. From paying for items on Shopee to sending money, there’s a lot you can accomplish with Shopee’s integrated mobile wallet.

Here’s a quick rundown of the things you can do with ShopeePay so you won’t miss out:

1. Avoid bank fees when you cash in via InstaPay or link your bank account

There are plenty of ShopeePay cash in channels to choose from like payment centers, e-wallets, online banking, debit cards, and more. Aside from these convenient options, did you know that you can also avoid admin fees and cash in for free? One way is to link your BPI or UnionBank account to cash in for free. For those with a different bank, cashing in is also free when you use InstaPay on your bank’s online app—get up to P25 cashback on your first two InstaPay transactions per month.
