Cebu - Shangri-la's Mactan Resort & Spa
Maybe it’s nostalgia, but it’s also true: it’s the best beach resort in Mactan for me. Big walkable garden, 2 pools, 5 restaurants, and of course, their beach. At their breakfast buffet, grab an ube ensaymada, and puto & sekwate for me.
-
Cebu - The Reef Mactan
Smaller resort with nice rooms, staff, a pretty good breakfast buffet, a fun arcade room and decent beach, it’s a quieter option for a staycation.
-
Bohol - Henann Resort Alona Beach, Panglao
They have multiple pool options, spacious rooms, and best of all, it’s right by the beach. (room tour in Panglao video)

Hakone Kowakien Ten-yu
5-star onsen hotel with amazing service, breakfast buffet, and although they have 2 public onsens, there is a private onsen tub in every room. (Room tour in Hakone vlog)
-
Tokyo - remm plus Ginza
A nice modern hotel in the quieter side of Ginza, closer to JR Shinbashi station. (room tour in 3 days in Tokyo video)

Hong Kong - Prince Hotel Marco Polo

Hong Kong - The Langham
Close to Harbour City / Canton Road, and a bit pricier with a more luxury vibe.

Singapore - Holiday Inn Express Orchard
Very convenient if wanting to stay along Orchard Road.

Europe

Hotel Interlaken, Switzerland
We stayed in a family room with 2 twin beds and bunk beds (fits me 5’2” comfortably). Good breakfast and great location by the church - the bell ringing didn’t bother us. (room tour in Swiss video)
-
Paris - Hotel Maxim Opera
Great location, newly renovated, friendly staff, and approx. 5-10 minute walk to train lines, lots of restaurants and cafes to choose from nearby. Coin laundry and grocery on the same street at time of stay. (room tour at the end of Alsace video)
-
Paris - Hôtel Duminy Vendôme
Very very nice modern luxurious hotel located in a quiet street in Paris, but just right by Rue Saint Honore AND the Jardin des Tuileries. Loved the room interiors and connecting room option (room tour in Giverny&Normandy video) for families/friends.

Strasbourg - Tandem Hotel
Modern interiors, quiet, with an amazing breakfast buffet. Very close to the train station as well. (room tour in Alsace video)
