Dusit Thani's note, an exquisite touch of thoughtfulness

Of course, the bathtub never fails to pique, not my interest, but my child's. =)  He never fails to have a dip and just play and have fun with the tub's water.  It's his mini pool inside the room even after a swim from the real pool! =)

Bathtub with it's shower

Comes with two (2) bath towels

I don't know, if some of you will agree with me, but sometimes the bathroom is that little nook of a place where you can have some quiet time for yourself!  =)

Dusit Thani Manila's Room Amenities - Television, Minibar, Luggage Rack, Working Desk and Mirror

The television, minibar, luggage rack, working desk and mirror

The one thing that we always do; and I guess it's safe to say also that most people do too, is to observe the room's features.  Whether it's the room's ambiance, design, amenities or the complimentary knick knacks in the bathroom; it's just irresistibly tempting to pry around.

So, it goes to say that we cannot resist looking inside the minibar and know what it has to offer its guests.

The luggage rack and minibar

Beside the minibar is the luggage rack for putting on your luggage while organizing your things.  

Opening the minibar is like opening a pack of candies when you were a kid.  So delicious; and yet your mom always prevents you from eating it because it's bad for you. =)  In this case, the only thing that prevents you from touching the minibar is the price!

Bigger version of Johnny Walker Black Whiskey

Nope, this version is not included in the minibar.  We brought our own. =)  Just really had fun taking this photo.

Now, I think that's enough with the minibar.  On the working desk, Dusit Thani provided us with complimentary drinks.  Also, they provide their hotel kettle for boiling water and cups with its corresponding spoons which are all available for use.

These you can drink to your hearts content without worrying about the price:

• Nescafe Decaf 2g - 2 pcs.
• Nescafe Classic 2g - 2 pcs.
• Nestle Coffee Mate - 2 pcs.
• Brown Sugar - 2 pcs.
• White Sugar - 2 pcs.
• Chinese teabags - 2 pcs.
• Ginger teabags - 2 pcs.
• Viva Mineralized Water - 1 pc.

•  Note:  I think I may have missed some other things, but these are what I can remember.

Oh, by the way, the ginger teabags are really good, in my opinion.  They really helped one of our companion ease the sore throat that's incoming.

Dusit Thani Manila - Deluxe Room Accommodation

With our room cards in hand, we excitedly waited for our elevator.  Inside the elevator we pressed the floor assigned to us, then... nothing happens!  Our floor number was not lighting up the way its supposed to when we press them.

Oh, guess what, I finally realized that you have to slip your room card for verification. =)  Pretty cool huh?  This partly ensures every guests' safety since only guests staying at the hotel can have access to the room floors.  I know some hotels have this feature but not all, so it's really wonderful that this hotel have it.  Not to mention, my kid enjoys slipping the card every time we use the elevator. =)

Dusit Thani's elevator with their room card verification slots

Then up we go.  Upon arriving at the 10th floor, our floor; we then stopped for a moment and take in the designs and carpeted floors. 

Dusit thani's 10th floor

Our room

Our room at 1012.  Observe the switch at the left side.  It's a switch for the "Make Up Room", "Do Not Disturb" and doorbell.  While other hotels use paper signs to hang on the door knob, Dusit Thani uses this switch. =)

Dusit Thani's Deluxe Room - King size bed

The Deluxe room.  We chose the king sized bed instead of the two (2) single sized bed.  Farther, are the sofa and coffee table; the curtains behind covers the window to our room.

King sized bed with lamp shades on both sides

Our luxurious king sized bed with its pillows has lamps on both sides which cast golden glow of lights that adds to the cozy and homey atmosphere and invites one to relax amidst all the luxury and refinement of the room.

The sofa and coffee table

We were really able to maximize this sofa and coffee table.  This is where we chatted through cups of coffee before we explored the hotel's amenities.  It was already dark when we checked-in, fixing some loose ends at work and at home.  So this was really a perfect way to relax with your love ones, taking time to  just lean back on the sofa while talking about life itself.  Sometimes a conversation with your love ones can lift out some of the things that's bothering us with our day to day life.

Television ,minibar, luggage rack, working desk and mirror

Facing the bed are the television, minibar, luggage rack, working desk and mirror.  The minibar is inconspicuously located below the television.  Beside it is the working table complete with complimentary drinks like coffee, tea and mineral water.

closet doors

This are the closet doors located on the left side upon entering the room.  Beside it is the switch connected to the outer switch.  See below for the full picture.

Electronic-controlled electricity, "Make up room" and "Do not disturb" switch

Below are what's inside the closet doors:

Safety deposit box for your valuables

Laundry bags for your clothes

"His" and "Hers" robe and complimentary bed slippers

Facing the closet is the bathroom.  See my separate blog about this.

Dusit Thani's Deluxe Room's bathroom

Our key card

Our key card, I call it "our access card in Dusit Thani". =)


Though there's really one small thing that disappoints me; and to those techie people,  there's no free wi-fi. =(  They do have wi-fi but it has a corresponding fee.  Such a pity, we were prepared all along bringing our laptops and surprise!  No free wi-fi.  Maybe in the future they will have?  =)


Nevertheless, all is enjoyably relaxing and fun. =)

Dusit Thani Manila

As I read through the pages of "Dusit International" book-magazine, as I call it;  I found out quiet a few interesting facts.

That...

"Dusit Thani" means a "town in heaven".  This is what the inspiration of Dusit Thani is.  That for over 60 years they have worked to translate Thailand's King Rama VI's ideal which was that he envisioned a wondrous utopian kingdom; an inspiration for the experience that Dusit Thani continually aim to create for their guests whether for business or for pleasure.

Dusit Thani Manila's front desk

Located in Makati,  where the central business district of Manila is.  It is strategically accessible to leading business address, embassies, exclusive residential areas and malls, all of which are in walking distance.  For me, it is very convenient and enjoyable.  I can enjoy the luxury of this hotel and what's more I can shop to my hearts delight at the malls beside this hotel without worrying how to get back come night fall.

Upon entering its luxurious lobby, Thai artistry and creativity are clearly seen in every detail of their surroundings.  From the design on the walls and floors, decorations and unique ornaments to the uniforms of the employees, Thai detail is infused in every way.

In my view, these are the following things that guests usually visit this hotel for:


Restaurant

• Basix - experience Global / International Cuisine
• Benjarong - gives a Royal Thai dining experience
• Fiesta San Miguel - serves Filipino Cuisine
• Tosca - provides an European-Italian culinary experience
• Umu - a Japanese restaurant

Recreation

• Devarana Spa - offers a peaceful tranquil sanctuary of anti-stress and relaxation; a "heaven for spa lover".
• DFit Fitness Centre - a fitness center with 973 square metres of state-of-the-art studio areas and sauna to meet the individual fitness goals of guests and members.
• Outdoor Swimming Pool

Accommodation

Room accommodations are clean, comfortable and of course excellent in taste.  It offers a calm oasis of international standards, warm Asian service and tastefully furnished comfort that we look for in any rooms.  See my next blog on this.

Preview of Dusit Thani's "Deluxe Room" - room accommodation

Also, for those of you who worry about parking spaces; they do have parking slots for guest, though their parking is only one floor.  So if you come here and stay during the peak season, it might be a little hard but you can always play by luck the way that I usually do in cases like this.

Dusit Thani's parking lot

Although Dusit Thani's parking lot is quiet small,  I kind of like it.  Have you ever encountered parking lots that have steep ramp slopes?  This one has only one ramp slope and it didn't cause us any problem at all.   Remember, it's a first come first serve basis. 


Most of the information aside from my own personal views comes from Dusit Thani's own book-magazine.  The "Dusit International".  See below for full photo of the book-magazine.

Canyon Woods Residential Resort - Clubhouse Swimming Pool, Tagaytay Philippines

Walkway to the indoor swimming pool at the clubhouse

One of the amenities that most of us can't resist to use is the swimming pool.  There's always that calming quality about the water.  Not only does the exercise  good for your body but it always leaves you feeling relaxed afterwards because most of the time sleep comes next after a good swim.

Clubhouse's indoor heated pool and jacuzzi

Let's face it, kids love swimming (most of them, i think =) ).  Even those who's just paddling and waddling around the pool.  Kids love water!  That's goes to show that the indoor pool is packed with people young and old.  Some brought their own floating devices and pool toys.  It was a fun-packed, noisy-filled pool that greeted us.  Nevertheless, everybody enjoyed the activity.

The far side of the pool

Oh before I forget,  they have strict rules before swimming.  You have to wear swimming suits and swimming caps.  The swimming suit is a given.  So I brought my own swimming suit but I didn't bring any swimming caps.  Though it's really no problem because they sell them in the counter, still if you don't want to shed a few extra cash, bring your own swimming caps. =)

What's a swimming pool without it's locker rooms?  I was able to take a shot of the women's locker room.  See photos below.

Men's locker room

Of course, I cannot go inside the men's locker room, but here's the entrance to it.

Women's locker room

The entrance to the women's locker room.

The locker cabinets

The first thing that will greet you are these locker cabinets.  With wooden bench for you to sit on while fixing and organizing your things.

Inside the women's locker room

As you go deeper inside, this is what you will encounter.  The doors on the right are the shower rooms.  On the left, with the wooden stairs, I think is a jacuzzi (see below for the full photo).  On the far left, there are more doors.  They lead to the toilet rooms.  The spaciousness of the women's locker rooms is well designed for the convenience of its guests.

Jacuzzi?

I'm not really sure, but I think this is a jacuzzi.  I never really had the chance to ask any personnel there.  Nobody bothers to use it that day.

I love these amenities.  The indoor swimming pool is just great specially when its windy and raining outside.  It gives you a chance to enjoy swimming even if the weather doesn't permit it.  And oh, love the locker room.  Don't you love it?  It's like you don't want to leave the comforts of it.  This experience will always be something that's worth remembering by.

Canyon Woods Residential Resort brochure, Tagaytay Philippines

Canyon Woods Residential Resort brochure

How to really picture out the whole of Canyon Woods?  I won't be able to create a precise and complete blog about it.  With all its vastness, splendour and beauty, it would need an expert writer to create a book about this resort.  So when I saw this brochure,  I got the idea of sharing it with all of you so that you'll be able to enjoy reading and knowing even a part about it.
