The Legend Villas: Peaceful Staycation

The Legend Villas: Peaceful Staycation

We stayed here last April 16-17, 2016. We needed the much needed respite from the heat of Manila and this was the perfect choice. They have their summer promo at that time which includes de luxe room stay, buffet breakfast, snacks vouchers and access to almost all amenities except the Core Kinesis.

The Legend Villas is located at 60 Pioneer corner Madison Streets Mandaluyong City. It is accessible via EDSA (I think that's the easiest route). There are malls nearby and some restaurants.

Checking in/out was easy peasy. Didn't have any problem at all and it was really fast. The receptionists are courteous, friendly and accommodating. Their lobby design is traditional Filipino. And they have the traditional Filipino board games like sungka, dama and tic-tac-toe so you and your kids won't get bored while waiting.

Their room is huge. We have a small window (although I would have preferred a bigger one). Basic amenities are there like flat TV, ref, hair dryer, work area, kettle. I like that the controls of the lights are just within reach, just beside the bed. We had a good night sleep. Beddings and pillows are both comfy, no complaints there. We just had problem with the aircon although we didn't mention it to them, it was not that cold.

I had my massage inside the room. Although it was a little late (12am), they still accommodated me.

The toilet/washroom is very clean, somehow I think it's new. I just felt that they should have put a glass door in the shower area since the water when taking a bath spills over to the floor of the toilet seat. They provide shampoo and soap and dental kit and cotton buds and shower cap.

The pool is not that cold and it's nice especially for the kids. The package we got include snacks/drinks so we didn't get hungry while lounging in the pool. They also provide vests and balls for kids. They also have a jacuzzi but it gets too crowded from time to time and some guests stay for far too long at the expense of other hotel guests. But they have off peak which we took advantage for a little like 5 minutes before it gets crowded again.

Buffet breakfast was sufficient. I did enjoy it but my husband was looking for more variety like bacon and tapa and tocino. I loved the arroz caldo though.

We never tried the gym. Parking is ok. We had ours just in front of our villa which is cool especially when we need to check out. It was easier for us to bring our stuff to our car.

All in all, we had a great time especially my kid who enjoyed the pool far too much. Staff and crew were nice to us especially the one assigned in the pool area. We will definitely stay here again.
