Here in Cebu City with my family for a reunion with our relatives from Barili and Cebu tomorrow. My sister from Makati also flew in with her family and they are staying in a hotel in Mactan. My sister from Negros Occ. also came. My younger brother cannot make it because he is still recovering from a surgery. My sister in Makati has Seda vouchers, she gave 4 to me and my other sister to cover 2 rooms for 2 nights each, I will pay for another night.
There are 11 Seda Hotels in the Philippines (https://sedahotels.com/our-hotels/) and I've stayed only in Seda Sentro, Cagayan de Oro City and today, in Seda Ayala Center, Cebu City. I like both. I can't find my photos of Seda Sentro. I have a breakfast meeting once in Seda BGC, nice food and place.
Seda Ayala Center reception area. Nice cool place.
The hotel lobby, beautiful christmas trees still glittering.
The main restaurant at the ground floor, for buffet breakfast, lunch, dinner. Will try the food tomorrow but I assume it will be another yummy yummy set of food and drinks.
Our room, nice and comfy. We were originally at the 5th floor, but something not good there, my wife brought it to the attention of the reception, they decided to move us to the 11th floor. Our two girls on the next room, they were also moved to the 11th floor next to our room.
The hotel is right beside Ayala Mall. View from our room of the mall and its open area in the middle, lots of colorful christmas lights.
My family visited Cebu Ocean Park in the afternoon. When we came back, I was pleasantly surprised to see this gift... a bottle of red wine with matching yummy appetizers, hors d'oeuvre -- choco guava, choco beans, mango buttons, etc.
Thanks much, Ms. Gwen dela Cruz, General Manager of Seda Ayala Center Cebu. You and your team are too friendly and accommodating. Four reasons why I say this.
One, we arrived from the airport around 12nn at the hotel. Check in is 2pm but we're lucky that we were able to get in that noon, our tired and sleepy body were able to have a quick rest in the room.
Two, my older daughter forgot her favorite Starbucks mug at the ladies room of Mactan Cebu airport arrival area. When we arrived at the hotel, my wife was able to talk to a Seda Ayala Center staff at the airport, he asked the utility guys there, they got the mug and gave it to him, and staff brought the mug to us. Bravo, Thanks Roan Aquino, you rock, man.
Three, the quick decision to move us to another two adjacent rooms tonight.
And four, the gift from the hotel GM.
Ahhh, if I have to rate you guys just on our first day in the hotel, I will give you a 101% approval rating. Hep hep, yebaa.
