A staycation at its newly opened Ortigas hotel, was just simply waiting for the perfect occasion. And since we didn't want to go far this Holy Week, after last year's tiring Pangasinan trip, we thought a hotel break was in order.
We booked Marco Polo's Easter Wonder Family Room Package, which included: breakfast for four (two adults and two kids), free access to the Piccolo Kids Play area, wi-fi access and tickets to the Easter Funtasy Egg Hunt.
Our holiday started the moment we entered the hotel. The hotel lobby was grand and modish! Staff were genuinely courteous and hospitable.

The counter was a block buster, for a Black Saturday check-in.
Although check-in took a while (which was expected since many decided to stay in the Metro given the bad weather which was typhoon Chedeng), the stable and strong wifi internet connection, kept my boys busy; and the spacious hotel lobby with plenty of comfortable seating, served as my kiddos play ground while waiting for our room.

At check-in, we were elated to learn that we have been upgraded to a Premier Room (yehey! clap-clap). Check out these room pictures.
We fell in love with the rooms, right after we opened the door.

Our room is neat as pin. The room is spacious, for the kids to run about (oh and they were running a whole lot of our time there). Decoration is tasteful and very elegant. While, amenities more than satisfactory.

Classy triple bathroom mirror, with dual sink :P
Toiletries were only of very good quality.

The boys just had to check out the pool before leaving. I love indoor pool (specially heated pools). This one is no exception.
One need not travel far to relax and have fun. For a quick weekend get-away with your love ones, MamaSpeaks recommends Marco Polo staycation. Truly a relaxing experience.

I would love to try staying in Marco Polo someday! I've only been to their Chinese restaurant, Lung Hin :)
ReplyDeleteI have not tried Lung Lin. Our package came with buffet breakfast at Cucina though! It was very good!
DeleteWe don't have a bath tub at home so whenever we stay in a hotel, I always want a suite if our budget permits, yes, just for the bubble bath in the bath tub, lol. Marco Polo does look luxurious, we'll see if we can go there on our anniversary. With a baby in tow, I'm not a fan of going out of town anyway.
ReplyDeleteWarm bath works best to calm and relax me. Marco Polo's bath tub is marbled amd clean.
DeleteThe hotel looks elegant :-)
ReplyDeleteHi Anna, yes one of the best we have been to. But I am more a fan of their 5star, 1st class service.
DeleteI have heard my friends say god things about the hotel. And just like the way you have described it, I am waiting for my vacation this May-- a second honeymoon!
ReplyDeleteReally good sis, I hands down recommend Marco Polo.
DeleteAw... sad that I saw it just now. :(
ReplyDeleteYou're so blessed to have your room upgraded! I love Marco Polo, too. Their hotels are always do posh and elegant.
ReplyDeleteWhenever we stay in hotels, we ask the receptionist nicely. We are almost always given an upgraded.
DeleteI've been frequently passing Marco Polo and wondered what does a room in this hotel look like and after reading this I have a clear picture now. It looks grand on the outside but more so on the inside..thanks for sharing. -Macy
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome Macy!
Deletenice, clean and modern, i like! how much for a room? :)
ReplyDeleteWe paid 5900 nett. Inclusive of buffet breakfast for 4 at cucina and hi speed internet, unlimited gadgets. I could go there and download apps like crazy (lol)! Oh and the upgrade to a Premier, that was just wow.
DeleteIt's a luxurious stay at Marco Polo if I may say.
ReplyDeleteYes, I felt like a queen in that king sized bed! And the marble bath was an absolute must!!!
DeleteI love Marco Polo because of their Nespresso and the rest of their complimentary products but I hate that you had to take 2 elevators before you get to your room :(
ReplyDeleteHi Ruth, the elevator changing was a bit of a bummer, but it was fine with us. There were attendants at the common floors who assisted and made the transfers easier.
DeleteI love staycations :) Thank you for sharing your Marco Polo experience. Will consider this hotel for our future family bonding.
ReplyDeleteThis hotel looks so inviting! It is definitely making me crave to get a stay-cation soon. :)
ReplyDeleteThe room IS really nice. Just the type we'd love to be in esp that you mentioned the kids running around. And welcome fruits? I've always been afraid of touching fruits at the hotel because we might have to pay for them, haha. It seems like a good option for you to do a hotel staycation. :)
ReplyDeleteYes Sis, the apples were free. What I love more though is the Nespresso coffee that also came free.
DeleteWow, sometimes a staycation is all we need. Looks like you and your kids had fun. Nice pictures tooo <3
ReplyDeleteAh!!! staycation! I love the room!
ReplyDeleteIt does look good ha. I gotta say I loved the bathroom and the separate shower and the like. I've always been particular about those things. Now I'm curious to try it myself.
ReplyDeleteLove the interiors and the indoor pool! Would definitely want a staycation there someday. how much is it per night?
ReplyDeleteHi Shane, the currently run a summer get a way promo for 2adults and 2kids inclusive of buffet breakfast at P5500 nett. I think that it would perfect for mothers' day.
DeleteI had been to Marco Polo Ortigas function room and their ballroom but never stayed at the hotel. Seems like I might consider this as well.
ReplyDeleteI will put this on my list if we need a staycation :-)
ReplyDeleteOhhhh. Adding this to my list for staycations. Hehe! The Memet and I are quite tired of having to travel long distances, so we're thinking of just doing a staycation next. Hehe! :D
ReplyDeleteYou had me at Nespresso coffee. Hahaha! We haven't tried staying at Marco Polo yet but I'm putting in on my staycation list now. :) I love the look of that bathroom!
ReplyDeleteNice post! The place looks stunning and is very relaxing. You should also try visiting this beautiful Casino Hotel. I'm sure you'll love it.
