The best Baguio vacation ever

MANILA, Philippines - Baguio is tops in any destination list. However, as the city itself becomes too noisy and congested, holiday-goers now turn to the more relaxed, quieter side of the city. The good news is, there is a new vacation spot rising within this area called Azalea Residences Baguio.

Located five minutes away from Session Road, Azalea Residences Baguio is in a secluded hill street that guarantees both the calm of country living and proximity to the city’s main attractions. It offers the best of old-world charm and modern-day comforts.

Azalea Residences is set to soft-open in November 2011, and already, the word is out that it is going to be the Baguio’s ultimate vacation haven. Azalea Resorts & Residences chief operating officer Dulah Lipardo says, “The concept behind Azalea Resorts & Residences is to be the hotel that would offer the brand of convenience and amenities of top international hotels yet maintaining the natural texture and traditional character of the Philippines at a very affordable price. By infusing modern day amenities with thoughtful and detailed attention to the mood of the place, Azalea Resorts & Residences hopes to establish its hotels as the perfect abode for rest and leisure.”

The smallest bed size at Azalea is a queen-size bed.

Lipardo promises that Azalea Residences Baguio will be the only hotel in Baguio with the full services and amenities of a serviced apartment, complete living, dining, and kitchen facilities in all its rooms.

There will be a total of 99 suite rooms – 46 deluxe suites, 17 one-bedroom suites, 33 two-bedroom suites, and three three-bedroom suites.

For starters, Azalea Residences Baguio’s rooms will have these facilities: a living area with a sofa bed and flat-screen TV with cable connection; toilet and bath with hot and cold water (the two-bedroom and three-bedroom suite’s master toilet has a bathtub), and amenities; dining table and chairs and crockery; kitchen appliances and utensils; coffee and tea-making facilities; queen-sized beds with imported bed linens; and balcony in choice rooms, among others.

Such offerings will be perfect for Filipino travelers who normally take trips in groups, either as a family or as a barkada. Usually, they rent an apartment as it can accommodate practically everyone. Hotels prove to be a disadvantage as they have to book more than two rooms. At Azalea Residences Baguio, each room is designed for multiple uses. Imagine how convenient and fun it will be for them.

“Thus, a room can accommodate the whole family or barkada affordably and with the hotel service they are looking for,” says Lipardo, adding that there is a driver’s room, together with parking slot per available room.

Even as a guest steps outside the room and within the hotel premises, the facilities and services are sure to make the stay worry-free and rejuvenating: lobby lounge, playground, business center, Wi-Fi Internet connection, NDD-DDD-IDD, 24-hour doctor on call, tour arrangement and vacation services, laundry and dry cleaning management, coffee shop, spa and massage services, handicap accessibility, in-room dining, and transportation arrangement to and from Manila.

Lipardo remarks that the hotel’s meticulously infused modern amenities and service and Baguio’s old-world charm will also attract honeymooners, individual travelers, businessmen, and even the locals.

For the more frequent holiday-goers, Azalea Resorts & Residences’ Timeshare Vacation Club membership is highly recommended. By availing themselves of the Vacation Club membership, members will enjoy access to a number of usage benefits that will guarantee a holiday unlike any other.

Azalea Resorts & Residences is currently offering timeshare on special promotion – indeed a very sensible idea especially now that the holidays are forthcoming.

This forward-thinking offering is part of the vision of owners Fog Horn Inc. in making Azalea Resorts & Residences the brand of hotel and vacation club ownership that will be dedicated in providing impeccable service, comfort, and experience to ensure the total fulfillment of the dream vacation that everyone would love and want to own.

Azalea Resorts & Residences is affiliated with RCI (Resort Condominium International), the worldwide leader in vacation exchange and the world’s largest full-service vacation rentals business, providing access to more than 85,000 vacation properties in approximately 100 countries.

The property in Baguio shall be the first of its many hotels in the pipeline, to include popular destinations in the Philippines such as Boracay, Davao, Cebu, and Angeles. 

Lipardo concludes, “Azalea Resorts & Residences intends to make each guest’s stay special and memorable in its Baguio property and all its future properties and it will be their top choice for leisure and business accommodation requirements. Azalea will be synonymous to perfect abode and will be your very own holiday haven.”

Indeed, Baguio vacations could not get any better than this.
