I’ve been to
Crimson Hotel in Alabang a couple of times whether to eat, or hang-out
at their bar but I haven’t really had the chance to
stay there. Interestingly, when I got my monthly mileage summary from
American
Airlines, I was advised that my points would be expiring soon so I
needed to
make some activity on my account. I thought that it was timely
because I wanted a staycation anyway so I used my points to book an
overnight stay. Booking was fairly easy and
I did it through American Airlines Vacations.

Upon arrival, I liked the Christmas decorations adorning the hotel's lobby, what else to do but take pictures! :)
 |
| Christmas all around |
There’s a replica of a Christmas village complete with train which was cute. There’s
also plenty of Christmas trees at the lobby.

My room is located at the 20th floor which had a
good view of Muntinlupa and on this clear day you can see Makati from a
distance.

The room was
immaculate and nicely furnished. I liked that the room had tons of
storage to keep things organized and looking neat and tidy.

There's was no tub in my room, but I was still happy with the large rainfall shower.

After settling in, I decided to
hit the gym first and get a quick workout. The gym was empty, so I had it all to myself!

Tired, I
thought a nice way to relax after would be
a dip in the pool. By this time, there weren’t much people too so I can
swim and lounge freely as I please. The water was chilly, maybe because
it’s been cool lately in Manila.

Just beside the
hotel is Festival Mall, so if ever you get bored or want to eat outside
the hotel, you can just walk to the mall. Main attraction was that River Park featured a spectacular display of musical
lights
to celebrate the holidays. There, the entire area is decorated with
a lot of lights that are synced to music. It was a real crowd pleaser
judging by the amount of people that were there watching.

To cap the evening, why not some hot Ramen and beer.

I wasn’t able to wake up as early as I wanted to the next day since I
went to bed late last night. Even so, that wouldn't stop me from taking a selfie first...

and getting some caffeine in my system to start my day while enjoying the view outside.
 |
| But first, coffee |
I would have
wanted to stay in my room a bit longer but I was hungry already so time
for my breakfast buffet. I liked that they had a generous breakfast
spread which gives you a lot of
options to choose from.

After stuffing
myself crazy full (more bacon please!), I thought it would be nice to
get more pictures before hitting the pool again before checking out.

I'm liking their Dedon outdoor furniture, looks like I'm inside an egg. I want one too!

After taking
some pictures, time to hit the pool again for a dip. Like last night,
the water was cold, but, what are you gonna do. :)
 |
| Time for a swim |
Thanks to my
mileage points, I was able to stay at Crimson and I must say, it was
definitely worth it every point I used. The service, the décor, and the
location was on point. Maybe next time, I'll use some points again for
another staycation. :)
