My eldest sister D was supposed to be home for the holidays and she wanted a special celebration since she seldom visits home. As early as June of last year, we have already booked a hotel for the New Year celebration. We opted to avoid any out-of- town trip as tourist destinations outside Metro Manila are too crowded during the holidays. Staycation is the next best option.

I chanced upon Agoda's promo for Fraser Place Manila for almost 40% discounted rate. I have read good reviews about it so we hurriedly booked our reservations.
However my sister's vacation break in the Philippines didn't push through so my family of half a dozen celebrated NY without her.
Checking-in is a breeze. The receptionists are accommodating and very hospitable. Hindi masusungit!
I'm quite impressed with this serviced apartment. First, it is strategically located - just walking distance to Ayala Triangle and the retail centers like Greenbelt, Landmark and Glorietta. There are also some convenience stores nearby like Ministop, etc. If you are a fitness buff, you'll surely enjoy jogging/running around the vicinity and in Ayala Triangle. You can also visit the dancing lights which we saw for the first time.

| a huge crowd it is but the show is so entertaining |
I was surprised that the 2 bedroom suite we booked is so spacious - with large dining, living area and a foyer.
