6 Hotels for a Romantic Staycation South of The Metro
by Justin Carlo Estor / February 11, 2019
Valentine’s Day is right around the corner. It’s a time when couples share their love with one another – and this usually calls for intimate and memorable moments together. For 2019, expect a lot of couples traveling to far away places such as Japan, Indonesia, or even France to create those kinds of moments.
Unfortunately, not everyone has the luxury or at least the time, to go out of town, much more out of the country. In fact, a lot of couples even consider looking at doing romance on a budget. Luckily for us, the Metro South area (or Alabang to be more specific) has many options for those opting to have their romantic staycation nearby:

Acacia Hotel Manila

Azumi Boutique Hotel
Veering away from the list of 5-star hotels in the area, Azumi stands out as an affordable yet stylish and environmentally friendly hotel. Located at the Madrigal Business Park, guests are visually greeted by earth tones, orange decor, and wood laminate floors. Their roof deck also provides a comforting escape with a 360-degree view of Alabang. This hotel has recently been a constant choice for couples on the lookout for a quick staycation.

B Hotel Alabang
Also located at the Madrigal Business Park is the sister hotel of Bellevue Manila, B Hotel Alabang. Originally described as “the 3-star hotel with a 5-star feel” – and rightly so. Their rooms are cozy while the interiors give off a relaxing vibe for their guests. One thing to note is the hotel does not have its own pool. Since it’s a sister hotel of Bellevue, the staff can provide a shuttle service for their guests going to Bellevue who are looking to swim.
