So we're able to grab the best deal in Travelbook.PH for Meranti hotel. I have booked around January but we stayed for June 5-7, 2018. We stayed for 2 nights for only 4,890 pesos, when the regular price for 1 night would cost 3500++ exclusive of tax. When their published rate was 7500 for a night. What a deal right? And take note that I also received a commission for using my
FriendCode in Travelbook. This already includes buffet breakfast for the 4 of us for 2 days (children below 12years old is free of the buffet breakfast), Super Sulit!
We didn't experience any hassle upon checking in, they just ask for my name and printed the form and that's it. Our booking was confirmed. Not like our previous booking with Travelbook for SMDC in Tagaytay, (check out my blog for that soon). One downside is that no one assisted us to our room.
After checking in, we've paid for the incidental fee of 2000 which is refundable upon check out if you haven't consumed anything while your staying at the hotel, they gave us our room key and we are already asked to go to our room, and yes, they don't have any bell boys or girls who will assist you to your room. Though they have baggage carts visible in the area maybe that is only for guests who have a lot of things brought to the hotel.
Upon checking into our room, all that we have loved about this hotel has started (but actually from their lobby, it was love at first sight already). When the elevator doors open that's it! Your attraction starts to go deeper as you will be welcome by the refreshing scent from their humidifiers/diffusers? not actually sure but it smells really, really good. Once you opened the doors room you will feel really calm and relax from the lights, till you see there beds, until you seat and lie down to their comfy beds, the big windows, the super clean floors, and everything's neatly arranged, the NO dirty smell rooms, the relaxing ambiance, to their personalized and adorable toiletries and everything in between. It was love at first sight😍😍😍.
I've got really carried away, apologies for that. It was because when I remember our first stay at Meranti it was wonderful. (We actually forgot that no one assisted us to our rooms! Hahahaha🤣🤣🤣)
Anyways, before I get too carried away I am sharing our photos below so you could absorb all the excitement I have while telling the story.
The bed that prevents my kids and my husband to go home. They just wanted to lie down and hug the pillows and feel the comfort that bed/s provide.

| Super duper comfy beds. |

They also have a desk if in case you will need to work from the hotel just like me when we check in. And take note that their wifi access is incredibly fast. Btw, this desk is larger than it looks here, I have to crop it up as the welcome drinks is a different story.

| Oh, how I love this vanity mirror! |
See how colorful and inviting these toiletries and vanity kits are.
 |
| And this personalized toiletries are a plus, plus, plus. |
The cleanest toilet and bath we've ever been so far since we started our Staycation journey.
 |
| T&B. Hot & cold shower. Rain shower. |
A mini fridge with readily available soda's, beers, and juices for you to consume in case you feel lazy calling the front desk or cafe or buy your drinks outside. Oh but please take note that it's not for free and will be deducted in your incidental fee of 2000, so don't be surprise guys.
Those were the amenities and facilities in the room assigned to us for our 2days Staycation.
For the add-ons, you will be served a welcome drink on your arrival, some will be served on the lobby while waiting. But for us, since we don't need to wait for our check-in, they just had it sent to our room. By the way, we were provided 4 glasses of their welcome drinks even though the room is only for 2. But it makes me wonder, maybe because we were checked in for 2 days then they just have the welcome drinks for our next day served on our first day (cause when we checked in just this week we were only given 2 glasses.

Things to do:
MASSAGE. Since this day was for our 16th-year celebration of being partners this is all for us two to enjoy and have a relaxing stay at the hotel. Good thing Meranti offers massage service to be done in your room, so no hassle going out somewhere or other place or room to have a relaxing massage. And since we wanted to have a superior relaxation, then we've had it for 2 consecutive nights.

SWIM. Meranti has a simple but very nice swimming pool and because of its simplicity, it makes it more beautiful compared to other hotels nearby. Oh and how we love the glass panel of this pool.

BUFFET BREAKFAST. And who wouldn't love a buffet breakfast? Inclusive in the hotels overnight package is their buffet breakfast. From fried rice to omelet, to dangit, tocino, and longganisa. Overflowing coffee and fruit juices. To cereals for the kids to freshly baked slices of bread. To fresh fruits and of course our well-loved fresh vegetable salad /slashed/ create your own salad with two types of sauces for you to love. And I swear I will keep on coming back for breakfast for their fresh S-A-L-A-D. Promise, soon I will have a separate post for Meranti hotels buffet breakfast.
