Sometimes life moves so fast that we forget to slow down and just be together. Between school, work, household chores, and the daily rush, we realized we needed a proper pause — a place where we could truly disconnect from our routines and reconnect with each other. That’s exactly what we found during our wonderful staycation at Solaire Resort Quezon City. It wasn’t just a hotel stay. It was a beautiful reminder of how precious simple family moments really are.
Our Sanctuary on the 27th Floor
From the moment we stepped into our room, we knew we were in for something special. The space was spacious yet cozy — bright, airy, and thoughtfully designed so that even with four of us moving around, it never felt crowded. There was plenty of room to lounge, unpack comfortably, and settle in like we were home. We were greeted with lovely welcome amenities in our room– fresh fruit and refreshing drinks.
But the real magic? The view. Located on the 27th floor, our window framed the city in the most breathtaking way. Mornings began with soft sunlight spilling in and the gentle hum of the waking city below us. We’d sip coffee while watching the sky brighten, feeling miles away from the usual morning rush. And at night? It was pure enchantment. As darkness fell, thousands of city lights flickered to life, creating a sparkling sea that stretched as far as the eye could see. We’d sit by the window, no words needed, just quietly admiring how beautiful the world looks from up there.
Bittersweet Joys at the Kids Club
One of our favorite spots was the Kids Club — and we were right there alongside our not-so-little ones, watching every smile and every giggle. It was such a lovely space, bright and welcoming, with warm staff who made the children feel so comfortable right away. Our kids dove into the activities, exploring, and playing so freely.
But as I sat there watching them, something gentle washed over me. My heart felt full, yet a little tender. For a quiet moment, I got a bit emotional. I found myself missing those days when they were tiny little toddlers, holding onto my hand, needing me for everything. It feels like just yesterday I was carrying them, and now here they are running, laughing, growing into their own wonderful selves right before my eyes. šš
It’s that quiet, beautiful ache every mother knows. Wishing time would slow down just a little bit more, while feeling endlessly grateful and proud of who they’re becoming.
Delicious Journeys at Every Meal
Our stay became even sweeter through the wonderful meals we shared together:
Manyaman
Dinner at Manyaman was such a warm, comforting experience. The flavors were familiar yet elevated. Rich, delicious dishes that felt like a gentle hug on a plate. The atmosphere was calm and welcoming, perfect for a leisurely family dinner where we weren’t rushing anywhere. We savored every bite and every conversation.
Fresh
Breakfast at Fresh quickly became our favorite morning ritual. The buffet spread was incredible. From warm breakfast classics to fresh fruits and pastries, there was something for everyone. We loved the bright, open space and the view of the swimming pool just outside. If anyone wanted fresh air, the al fresco area was the perfect spot to breathe in the morning breeze. It set such a happy tone for each day ahead.
Trattoria e Dolci
Before heading home, we made one last stop at Trattoria e Dolci. We weren’t even hungry anymore, but we simply couldn’t resist. We shared creamy scoops of their best-selling gelato — Dubai Chocolate, Rocky Road, Mixed Berries, and Pistachio — and savored every spoonful. It was the sweetest, happiest way to wrap up our stay. šØ
A Quiet Moment Just for Us
And while the kids were happily engaged, our Dada and I stole a precious few hours at the Health Club. Walking in, the soft lighting and peaceful atmosphere instantly calmed us down. It wasn’t just about the treatments — though they were wonderful. It was about the quiet realization that we matter too. That amidst raising children and managing everything else, we deserve moments to rest, breathe, and remember that we’re still a team. We left feeling lighter, calmer, and more connected than we’ve been in a long time.
Until Next Time š§”
We packed our bags with mixed emotions — happy to be going home, but already missing the peace we’d found here. Our hearts were full, our tummies were happy, and our souls felt rested. As we walked out, the kids were already asking, “When can we come back?” š
And honestly? So were we.
Thank you, Solaire Resort Quezon City, not just for a beautiful stay — but for giving us the space to slow down, to see our children growing, to nourish our relationship, and to simply be together. These are the moments we’ll tell stories about for years to come.
