Azure Beach View Manila: Your Dream 1BR Awaits!
Alright, buckle up, buttercups, 'cause we're diving HEADFIRST into Azure Beach View Manila: Your Dream 1BR Awaits! This isn't your slick, airbrushed brochure review. This is the gritty, imperfect, real deal. I'm talking honest thoughts, questionable decisions during late-night room service, and my burning desire to live in that spa forever. Let's GO!
Right off the bat, that Dream 1BR bit? They ain't lyin'. I was expecting… well, you know, a hotel room. What I GOT was a legitimately stylish, modern space that yelled "Welcome to Paradise (or at least, a really, really nice apartment)." The air conditioning? Glorious. And the blackout curtains? Absolute lifesavers for this light-sensitive creature.
Accessibility - Did They Nail It?
Okay, serious hat on for a sec. Accessibility is crucial, and I’m happy to say Azure has put some thought into it. While I didn't personally need wheelchair access, the presence of an elevator, facilities for disabled guests, and a general layout that seems… well, thoughtful, is a HUGE win. No awkward tight corners, no inaccessible dining areas (that I saw, anyway!). They get a thumbs up from me on this one.
Internet - Pray for Wi-Fi God!
This is a big deal for a travel writer (ahem, ME) and a modern human in general. Free Wi-Fi in ALL rooms? YES. And it's actually decent! I could upload photos, stream my guilty pleasure reality shows, and still get work done. Praise be to the Wi-Fi gods! There was also Internet [LAN] available, which is, honestly, a relic of the past, but hey, options are good!
Diving Deeper: Rooms, Rooms, Rooms! (And the Little Things)
- Air Conditioning: Essential. Absolutely essential. Manila heat is NO JOKE.
- Blackout Curtains: Sleep is precious, and these delivered. I slept like a baby (who occasionally wakes up for room service).
- Coffee/Tea Maker: My morning ritual! Coffee was surprisingly decent.
- Mini Bar: Tempting, always tempting. (And sometimes I succumbed. Don't judge.)
- Bathroom: Spotlessly clean and the separate shower and bathtub? Total luxury. And those complimentary toiletries? They smelled divine.
- Internet access – wireless: Worked like a charm. My life is basically online, so this was a requirement.
My One True Love: The Spa and Ways To Relax - Get Those Knots Out!
Okay, let's be real. I’m not a huge "wellness" type. But the temptation of a spa visit was too strong. And I am SO GLAD I gave in. The spa at this place is a sanctuary. I mean, the Body Scrub was… heavenly. Like, I almost wanted to move in and become a permanent spa inhabitant. The Sauna and Steamroom? Perfect for melting away any lingering stress. I was a puddle of bliss! The Massage? Outstanding! Just. Outstanding. And the Pool with a View? Forget about it! Chilling by the pool, sipping a cocktail… pure, unadulterated joy.
Food, Glorious Food! (And My Random Rants)
Alright, let’s talk grub. Azure offers a range of options, from the Asian Breakfast to International Cuisine.
- Breakfast [buffet]: Standard, decent. The fresh fruit was a highlight.
- Room Service [24-hour]: Savior of the hungry traveler. The Chicken noodles did a solid job
- Coffee shop: Perfect pick me ups!
- Restaurant: I loved the selection of the food here!
Cleanliness and Safety - Because, Well, It Matters
I felt safe throughout my stay. The Anti-viral cleaning products are in place, and the staff constantly kept the area clean. Also good to know: Daily disinfection in common areas, Hygiene certification, and Staff trained in safety protocol. They even had Hand sanitizer everywhere!
Things to Do & Getting Around (Basically, How to Survive)
- Pool! Of course! Beautiful and relaxing.
- Fitness center:* (Which I, admittedly, did not use. I was too busy at the spa. No regrets.)
- Airport transfer: Super convenient. Less hassle.
- Taxi service: Readily available.
Services and Conveniences – The Stuff You Need (And Some You Want)
- Concierge: Helpful and efficient.
- Daily housekeeping: My room was always spotless.
- Laundry service: Thank goodness! Travel laundry is the worst.
- Cash withdrawal: Handy.
- Food delivery: Perfect for those late-night cravings.
The Downside (Because No Place is Perfect)
- Smoking Area: Yes, it exists. Sigh.
- Stuffiness: It can be hard to breathe sometimes

Lexington Getaway: Unwind at Country Inn & Suites!Okay, buckle up, buttercups, because this isn’t your grandma’s perfectly-formatted travel itinerary. We're diving headfirst into a week of potential chaos, questionable decisions, and hopefully, some actual fun, all within the luxurious (fingers crossed!) confines of a 1BR unit at Azure Beach View in Manila. Prepare for emotional whiplash, because I'm pretty sure I'm bringing my whole anxiety baggage with me.
Subject: Azure Beach View – 7 Days of Maybe-Joy, Probably Sweat, and Definitely Regret (in a Good Way?)
Day 1: Arrival and the Great Apartment Hunt (aka, Where Did I Park My Sanity?)
- Morning (9:00 AM): Flight lands at Manila airport. Theoretically, this is when the holiday starts, in practice, its when panic takes over.
- Morning (10:30 AM): Taxi to Azure Beach View. Praying the driver understands English and doesn't try to fleece me. Also, praying the traffic isn’t soul-crushingly bad. (Update: Traffic is soul-crushingly bad. I'm already rethinking my life choices.)
- Late Morning/Early Afternoon (12:00 PM): Arrive at Azure. Check-in should be smooth… hopefully. Expectation: Gleaming lobby, welcoming smiles, the sweet smell of money (figuratively). Reality: Who knows? Maybe I get the keys, the unit is as advertised. Or maybe I'm stuck in a dusty, cockroach-infested nightmare. Please God, let it be the former.
- Afternoon (1:00 PM – 3:00 PM): Unpack! (Or, more accurately, attempt to wrestle my suitcase into submission). Assess the apartment. Is it cute? Is it clean? Is there a working air conditioner? (This is a big one, people.) My mood will swing wildly during this crucial assessment. Praying for good vibes.
- Afternoon (3:00 PM – 5:00 PM): Grocery shop. This is where true adventure begins. Going local for snacks. I’m envisioning myself bravely navigating the supermarket, dodging rogue shopping carts, and communicating with the cashier through a series of frantic hand gestures and Google Translate. My goal: find a decent mango and maybe some San Miguel Light.
- Evening (6:00 PM – 8:00 PM): Dinner and Chill. The absolute best part of the day. And my plan? Ordering something from foodpanda. Then, probably, I'll binge-watch something on Netflix. This is what vacations are for. I'm calling it self-care day one.
Day 2: Poolside Paradise or Public Humiliation?
- Morning (9:00 AM): Wake up. Assess how many mosquito bites I have. Regret any late-night snacking.
- Morning (10:00 AM): Head to the Azure lagoon pool. This is the main event, folks. Expectation: Glamorous poolside lounging, perfect tan, sipping something fruity. Reality: More likely: Sunburn, awkward conversations with strangers, and accidental submersion of my phone. The pool is supposed to be beautiful, right? Fingers crossed.
- Afternoon (1:00 PM): Lunch at the Azure beachfront. I’m picturing some kind of delicious seafood, the waves gently lapping at my feet. Reality: Probably overpaying for a burger. But hey, ambiance!
- Afternoon (2:30 PM – 4:00 PM): A swim in the so-called azure lagoon. It's supposed to be crystal clear, but is it? I'm not the strongest swimmer, so it could be a struggle.
- Evening (6:00 PM – 8:00 PM): Dinner at a restaurant outside the resort. Maybe I'll try a local restaurant. My taste buds are ready for adventure, or maybe they are not.
Day 3: Manila Mania – History, Hustle, and Heartbreak (Maybe)
- Morning (9:00 AM): Venture out into Manila. Public transportation: jeepney or taxi? Praying I don't get scammed.
- Morning/Afternoon (10:00 AM – 2:00 PM): Visit Intramuros: This is where it gets interesting. History, architecture, and hopefully, some decent photos for my Instagram. Expectation: A serene, historical stroll. Reality: Sweating profusely, dodging pushy tricycle drivers, and feeling a little overwhelmed by the sheer intensity of the city.
- Afternoon (2:00 PM – 4:00 PM): San Agustin Church: More history. Maybe I'll even light a candle and pray I don't get lost on the way back.
- Afternoon/Evening (4:00 PM – 7:00 PM): Dinner in Chinatown : Delicious food, I'm sure. But I'm anticipating some confusion over what to order.
- Evening (8:00 PM onwards): Regroup at the apartment. Netflix, maybe some self-reflection. This day could be amazing, or it could be a complete disaster. Time will tell!
Day 4: Mall Madness and Massage Mayhem
- Morning (10:00 AM): Try to go to a mall. This is the Philippines. Mall is everywhere!
- Afternoon (1:00 PM): Time for a massage! Because after all the walking and sweating, I deserve it.
- Evening (7:00 PM): Dinner at a restaurant around the mall.
- Evening (9:00 PM): Back to the Azure to rest.
Day 5, Day 6, and Day 7: Open Season (aka: Embracing the Uncertainty)
- Flexibility is Key: These days are purposely left open. I'm building in room for spontaneity. Because sometimes, the best memories are made when you least expect them.
- Possible Activities: Repeat favorite activities. Explore nearby attractions. Wander. Get lost. Find a hidden gem. Possibly write a travel journal entry that's more than a few sentences.
- Departure (Day 7, Evening): Taxi to the airport. Reflect on the week. Realize I probably didn’t do half the things I planned. Feel a mix of exhaustion, relief, and a weird longing to go back. Vow to learn a few basic Tagalog phrases. Promise myself I’ll book a beach trip next time, because Manila is… intense.
Emotional Soundtrack to the Week:
- Arrival: Anxiety, excitement, a dash of terror.
- Pool Day: Exhilaration, followed by mild panic (sunburn!).
- City Day: Overwhelm, wonder, a touch of culture shock, and a deep appreciation for air conditioning.
- Mall: Pure chaos
- Open Days: Serene, maybe a little bored, maybe a lot of fun, depending on the day.
- Departure: Exhaustion, a profound sense of accomplishment (hey, I survived!), and a secret desire to do it all again.
Final Thoughts:
This itinerary is more of a suggestion than a strict schedule. Things will go wrong. I will stumble. I will probably embarrass myself. But that's the beauty of travel, right? Embrace the chaos, learn from the mishaps, and try to have a genuine smile while doing it all. This isn't just a vacation – it's an adventure, and I, for one, can't wait to see what kind of mess I make. Wish me luck. And maybe send backup snacks.
