BIG hotel

BIG hotel is a budget friendly hotel located at the heart of Mandaue City. It is a 30 minutes’ drive away from the Lapu-lapu City Airport. In front of Parkmall Mandaue, Chong Hua hospital, UC Med. Hospital, and 10 minutes away to SM City Cebu and J Centre Mall. 

BIG hotel is an industrial/business type of hotel. It has an ambiance of an old school type of hotel. If you come from another hotel with a fully furnished effect you will say it’s different but it really wow me a lot.

First thing first. The first time I’ve noticed when I enter the building is their interior designs and the theme they used. A very old school and industrial theme interior. Here are some of the interior pictures of the building.

It makes you feel comfortable and welcome, the staff and the utility are very awesome at its service. I roamed around the whole building/hotel first that captures my attention is their very exotic chandelier and there railings. I took a photo of it in order for you guys see what I saw. 

Now let’s take a tour on the very best part (for me) when I’m in a hotel, the buffet, restaurant, and the food area.The same thing as with the other hotels there are lots of foods that your taste buds can choose. But for big hotel it’s a winner. They almost have sea foods in their menu. On the time that I was eating there I just saw one (1) red meat which is the pork with only one recipe the pork caldereta the rest are all sea foods yummy. The best are their specialty the mix sea foods in sweet and sour foods. See the picture and have yourself full yummyJ

Sea food soup ( Clamps,Squid,Shrimp & Mushrooms)

Fiesta of Seafoods

BIG hotel's mixed sea food specialty

oh well my plate at that time (Olaaaah)

Yummy desserts that I can almost licked my finger (exaggerated). Since I'm on a diet here's my sweet for my sweet tooth. 

Finally after a heavy meal all you find for a hotel is a heavenly resting place which there rooms. Big hotel rooms consist of four (4) classifications. These are standard, deluxe, family, and suite rooms. Prices also are posted bellow a very affordable yet best, clean, relaxing place you can have a deep sleep.

Here’s our barkada picture during that night. We tour all around (peace yo for all the trouble cause by our faces.)

Through the years of waiting, imagining and fantasizing, finally my moment has arrived. I’m finally entering another chapter of my life, from a GIRL to a LADY. I have to admit that it has been a roller coaster ride for me to get to this day. With all the preparations we had to make from the venue, the theme, the dress I would wear, the shoes, the guests, the food and everything else, it was quite tough. But fortunately, with all the help and support I got from very significant people in my life, we were able to pull it off. Based on my experience, throwing a party isn’t an easy task because there are several things you need to think about the planning. I’ll give you some tips on how to throw a party without stressing you out.

First, know the number of people to invite because for you to know the estimated budget. And if you want to have an intimate party, you can just invite your relatives and closest friend. But then, a typical debut party contains 100 people or more.

Second, find party packages, so that it will be less hassle for you and you will be given ideas for your party. I picked the dazzling package of their given choices. If you want to know more about the packages you can always email them.  info@goldberrysuites.com

Third, find a venue, now you know the number of people. You should find a perfect venue for your party. You can always use your house if you want to but just make sure that it can accommodate lots of people. My party was held at Mikaela function of Goldberry suites and hotel.

Fourth, research for themes and motifs. The theme and motifs of my party is pastel colors because it gives cheerful but modern ambiance.

Fifth, find a perfect dress that you like. You should be the star of night. You can always find cocktail dresses, gown and etc at the mall. But you can also find gowns for rent at Wedding and Events Concepts by Mr. Pette V. del Rio. Visit his shop at P. Rodrigues Street Lapu-Lapu City beside San Lorenzo Ruiz School.

Sixth, find comfortable shoes to wear. In order for you to ramp all night and dance comfortably.

Lastly, decide what the invitation card looks like. Make sure that your invitation card will attract the attention of your guests and the card doesn’t have to be fancy or anything.
