Somerset Millennium Makati




What is my idea of a "rewind" and "reset" from all my busy schedule?
Spending time with the family for sure!  No, it's not completely "relaxing" per se but I like spending time with them with a "staycation" or just be anywhere as long as it is with them.

As I worry about me and my son's "separation" before my Bangkok trip, it was a perfect timing to spend that weekend (before I leave the country) with him, letting him explore new places, new environment.  Just because, I want him to know there are so much more in this world!

Again, it wasn't as completely relaxing (as moms can relate) BUT, Somerset Millennium Makati was able to reset all the tired buttons --- will let you know how they were able to manage it.



Let me start by talking about the property first.  Located at the heart of Legaspi Village in Makati City, it is walking distance to Legaspi Park, Restaurants, Greenbelt Mall and you can even join Legaspi Sunday Market (which I always wanted to visit but my house is quite far!)

I will be very direct with the requirements of the room.  I used to be "Okay" with any rooms, but since turning into a mom with an active toddler who has a lot of preference, I am very particular with the "cut" of the rooms.  I prefer bigger space, lots of sunlight and of course, a bed big enough for a kid who prefers to lie down horizontally.  Most importantly, it must have "homey" feel so my son won't go screaming his head out shouting: "Let's Go Home!" if the place looks too "stiff".

Ang daming requirements no?  I KNOW....but thankfully, Somerset Millennium Makati passed our standards and actually gave us so much more!

The room we stayed in is a One-Bedroom Premier.  The room has undergone renovation giving the room a more contemporary-feel.  I love the extra jazz of modern furniture.

Weekend Staycation at: Ascott Makati




The last time we stayed at Ascott Makati was for my mom and dad's surprise Golden Wedding Anniversary Party.

In just a year's time, there are so many changes in this property and I'm glad to be invited to check out their new facilities and offers.

I was invited with fellow Bloggers and Media Friends over the weekend with our respective families!  Thank you so much Ascott Makati and Fuentes Manila for the warm welcome.




We all met at the new Executive Lounge located at the 6th Floor of Ascott Makati for check-in and welcome snacks and drinks.  I had the chance to catch up with old friends and meet new ones.

The Executive Lounge is open for guests who are checked in at the suites of the hotel.
