Keep it light. Since you are not going far, consider fitting everything in one bag. If it is a backpack, that’s better! Remember, you want a relaxing time, so carrying a light load will help ease those overworked shoulders! Just a set of casual clothes, nighties, and swimwear for that refreshing dip is enough to still leave some space inside your bag.

Organize. Do you really need to bring that laptop? Your smartphone is enough should you need to check on work updates, right? Also, make sure to arrange your clothes and personal items to make the necessities reachable. A print-out of your check-in details should be in a prominent pocket, for example.

Bring the stuff you now have time for. If it is “me” time, then make it so! Bring that book you have been longing to read, or that model kit you haven’t had time to build. Everything you want to do equates to a vacation, so now’s the chance. If you will be staying with your family, then bring something everyone will love, like a board game. Family activities are best enjoyed in spacious living areas, like the best hotel in Ortigas – Astoria Plaza!

Our rooms are designed to make the whole family feel at home, with spacious interiors and amenities paired with great service, so you can focus on having a good time and nothing else.
