Maya on the Block: Christmas Eve away from home

Christmas means spending time with loved ones and friends to share the joy and happiness of the holiday season.

Aside from traditional way of celebrating Christmas it is also a bit sad especially if you are alone or like all single moms like me, celebrate it with your son or daughter. Preparing for Christmas can turn into a tiresome routine as we have to plan, prepare, cook, clean, and organize the house to get ready for the celebration.

It’s been two years since me and my son started celebrating Christmas with just the two of us at home as usually it’s with my family.

But we did something different yet exciting this year as we celebrated Christmas eve at the Blue Lotus Hotel.

Like us, there were also families, couples, and friends who opted to seize the chance to pamper themselves on a staycation and experience a different Christmas at Blue Lotus.

One of the best things that we looked forward to was the delicious food that we’d be indulging in as Blue Lotus was offering special packages that included a Christmas eve dinner.

I was surprised that there were already a lot of people when we arrived at the popular Skyview Restaurant on the rooftop for the Christmas dinner buffet.

Blue Lotus treated everyone with a filling and hearty spread for the season.

It was a delightful dining experience filled with delectable dishes, live entertainment, and great company.

After the sumptuous dinner, we did a movie marathon in our room ’til we doze off.

Blue Lotus Hotel’s junior suite room’s interior design is impressive. It is roomy and has a divider or partition off en-suite bathrooms to give you a bit of privacy while watching TV or sleeping, a comfy King-size bed, it has a study table, and a mini table with chairs.

The breakfast buffet at the Skyview is also very homey. Aside from enjoying hearty dishes guests can also get an eagle-eye view of Davao City from Skyview.

These are just among the joys of spending Christmas at the Blue Lotus Hotel.

The seven-level, 133-room hotel is being positioned not just for leisure and business travelers but as a venue for small and medium-sized meetings, seminars, conferences, and special events with its eight function rooms.

The hotel is also ideal for local guests looking for an upgraded staycation or weekend getaway. Not to mention its “Skyview” at the rooftop wherein guests can admire the view of the city, Samal Island, majestic Mt. Apo, and the Davao Gulf.

In case you don’t know, Blue Lotus Hotel, which sits on a 2,000-square-meter prime property along Quimpo Boulevard in Davao City, is owned by the family behind weighing scale manufacturer First Philippine Scales Inc. (FPSI). They decided to venture into the hotel business and opened the hotel on January 5, 2020.
