The Capsule Malioboro: budget place to stay in Yogyakarta

Looking for a cheap stay in Yogyakarta? The Capsule Malioboro Hotel & Cafe is a good budget option to stay and just a few minutes walk to the main tourist road. I like capsule hotels and have stayed in several cities abroad. But unlike the traditional pods that started in Japan, I do prefer the so called space capsules. These are plastic pods, airconditioned with amenities inside with privacy to boot. It’s also secure with a sliding door that can be accessed via a keycard….Continue Reading “The Capsule Malioboro: budget place to stay in Yogyakarta” →

Space Capsule Hotel in Kota Kinabalu

abroad, hotels

It’s clean and affords you the privacy you need at a budget, this space capsule hotel in Kota Kinabalu is highly recommended. I have to confess. I don’t like staying in hostels. I’m not just comfortable sleeping in a dorm room with complete strangers. That’s why, I always go for a hotel room. But if budget or time is scarce, then I will go for a capsule hotel. Not just any other capsule hotel like the one I first tried in Tokyo, for that matter,…Continue Reading “Space Capsule Hotel in Kota Kinabalu” →

And during the Spanish era, it was part of a network of defenses in the Calamianes archipelago with a fortress church complex built atop a promontory. The island today is a sleepy town with occasional…Continue Reading “A luxury resort in Culion you should visit” →

A beach staycation at Be Resort Mactan. That was what I badly needed and finally had it! Stylish, well pampered and fully sated. And what’s more, I had all the beach to myself. I was raring for a good swim at the beach and for more than a year of staying at home during the pandemic, I really had no choice. I was initially planning of just hopping on a bus and taking a ride down south of Cebu for a needed sea, sand and…Continue Reading “Be Resort Mactan, finally a beach staycation!” →

Wanna try Bluewater Resort’s ShopBlue Feast-to-Go?

Food, hotels

An unexpected box from Bluewater Resorts highlighting ShopBlue arrived at home with a surprising content that made me salivate: delicious food. I always love what Bluewater Resorts have on offer. I have experienced all three resorts in Panglao (Bohol) Sumilon (Oslob) and the latest, Maribago (Mactan) with the latter two both in Cebu. One thing that I really look forward beyond the resort accommodation is really the good meals that I had tried with them. From the very delicious ube ensaymada, the adobo rice and…Continue Reading “Wanna try Bluewater Resort’s ShopBlue Feast-to-Go?” →
