Calapan's HOTTEST Loft Studio w/ Pool Access! ✨
Okay, buckle up, buttercups! We're diving headfirst into the… well, the hottest Loft Studio in Calapan with Pool Access! ✨ Forget perfectly polished descriptions, this is real talk. I've seen the pictures, read the reviews, and now, I'm armed with my own opinionated, slightly-obsessive, and thoroughly unfiltered take. Let's go on this wild ride, shall we?
First Impressions & Accessibility (and the Big Questions!)
Right, so, accessibility. This is HUGE for me (and should be for you!). I’m not just talking about wheelchairs, although, yes, we'll get to that:
- Wheelchair accessible: Let's just say, the website says it is. I'd need to confirm that personally. Check with the hotel before you smash that 'book now' button, folks! Don't assume. Call. Email. Ask about ramps, elevators (more on that in a sec), and bathroom configurations. Hotels can say things, but the reality can be a different ballgame.
- Elevator? Crucial. Especially if you're aiming for my "High Floor" ambitions!
- Getting There: Airport transfer? A HUGE plus! Especially if you're like me and utterly incapable of hailing a Grab at 3 AM. (Yes, that happened. Don't ask.)
Okay, so, back to accessibility in a general sense… I am always looking for the simplest route…
Cleanliness & Safety - The "Is That REALLY Clean?" Drill
Alright, let's talk about the elephant in the room – cleanliness! Seriously, this is 2024! (deep breath). I'M OBSESSED.
- Anti-viral cleaning products? YES! That’s a start. But…
- Daily Disinfection in Common Areas? Sounds good…but show me! I want to see those cleaning schedules! Give me picture of those sanitizing spray bottles.
- Rooms Sanitized Between Stays? YES! And, again, show me the evidence. Do they even have UV light wands?! I'm a visual person.
- Hand Sanitizer? Good, but not great. It should be everywhere. Like, every corner, every elevator button should have one.
- Individually-wrapped food options? YES! I want tiny sealed containers. I do.
- Safe dining setup? Oh, I hope so, given all they have on offer…
- Staff trained in safety protocol? This is vital! They should know what to do if someone sneezes (or worse).
- Professional-grade sanitizing services? YES PLEASE. Like, a full-blown hazmat situation before and after my stay. (Okay, maybe not that intense, but you get the idea.)
- Room sanitization opt-out available? Okay, this is interesting. I will need to consider it.
The "Room Is My Castle" Zone: What's Actually in Those Walls?
Alright, let's get into the nitty-gritty of the loft itself. This is where the real magic should happen.
- Air Conditioning? ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL in the Philippines! Don't even think about it without it.
- Free Wi-Fi? They better. I need to upload my Instagram Story of the pool, of course. I'd be upset if the wifi went down.
- On-demand movies? A must-have for a lazy afternoon.
- Coffee/tea maker? Crucial. Caffeine is my lifeblood. Hopefully, it's a decent one.
- Bathrobes and Slippers? Adds to list – I want to lounge.
- Blackout curtains, Soundproofing? Please, please, please. I need sleep.
- Laptop workspace? So a desk, got it. Good.
- Safe box? Always a good idea. Especially when you got those precious gems.
- Mirror? Multiple mirrors.
- Additional toilet? If it is a loft, it should have more than one loo, right?
- Desk, Seating area, Sofa and Extra long bed? Sounds nice.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: Feed Me, Seymour!
Okay, the reason why I'm here - the food. Let's peek inside and see if they can satiate my needs.
- Restaurants? Multiple? Good.
- Room service [24-hour]? A MUST. Late-night cravings demand immediate satisfaction.
- Breakfast [buffet]? Yay, buffet! Boo, if it's a cold, sad buffet. Let's hope for a good one.
- Coffee shop? For the morning coffee run. I will need it.
- Bar? Happy hour, here I come!
The Pool and Relaxation – Time to Unwind (or Pretend To)
Yes! The pool! This is what we're all here for, right?
- Swimming pool [outdoor]? Yes!
- Pool with view? Does the view include a gorgeous sunset? Let us hope so.
- Spa? Tell me more…
- Massage? Need one of those, stat!
- Fitness center? Yeah, ok, I'll probably use it once (maybe).
- Sauna, steamroom, Spa/sauna, Foot bath, Body scrub, Body wrap? That's a lot of choices, let us hope they're all good!
Things to Do and See
- None of the above mention anything about this
Services, Conveniences, and the Rest of the Nonsense
The little things that make a stay bearable (or utterly unbearable).
- Concierge? Someone to handle my every whim? Yes, please.
- Daily housekeeping? Crucial. I shouldn't lift a finger.
- Laundry service? Gotta get those clothes clean somehow.
- Facilities for disabled guests? Again, important for my assessment.
- Currency Exchange? Convenient.
- Gift/souvenir shop? I love a souvenir.
- Car park [free of charge], Car park [on-site]? Good.
For the Kids (or, "How to Avoid Annoying Tiny Humans")
- Babysitting service? Not needed, but good to have.
- Family/child friendly? Makes life easier.
- Kids meal? Another sign.
The "Getting Around" Stuff
- Airport transfer? Always a lifesaver.
- Taxi service? Essential.
Other Quirky Bits & Bobs:
- Proposal spot? Aw, cute! (Even if I'm not there to propose).
- Shrine? Interesting.
- Smoking area? Please, please, hide it away.
- Pets allowed? Well, is it? (I'd call ahead about this).

Escape to Paradise: Noosa Avalon Farm Cottages Await!
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because we're doing this. I'm talking: LS Resthouse-Loft Studio with kitchen and pool access in Calapan, Philippines. And this isn't your perfectly-curated Instagram post. This is the REAL deal. My REAL deal, anyway.
Project: Calapan Chaos (and Occasional Bliss) - A Messy, Opinionated Itinerary
Day 1: Arrival and That Damn Pool (And Maybe a Breakdown)
Pre-Trip, Like, For Weeks: My brain, a swirling vortex of excitement and dread, decided to plan this trip about three months ago. Three months! You'd think I'd have packing down by now. Nope. Still a last-minute scramble involving frantic Googling of "What to wear in the Philippines" and realizing I own approximately five things that aren't black.
Morning (Literally, the Crack of Dawn): Manila airport. Ugh. The usual chaos. Dodging luggage carts, feeling the familiar pang of "did I pack my passport?", and muttering under my breath about the sheer audacity of people who walk slowly in airport hallways. Finally, found my flight to Calapan. Small, propeller plane. Butterflies? More like pterodactyls in my stomach.
Mid-Day (Calapan Arrival, OMG I'M ACTUALLY THERE!): Okay, Calapan. You're…brown. Seriously brown. But GOOD brown! The air is thick, sticky, and smells…amazing. Like frangipani and adventure. (Or maybe just exhaust fumes. Hard to tell right now.) Taxi to LS Resthouse. The driver was chewing betel nut and grinning at me. Felt like an alien. (A slightly self-conscious alien, at that.)
Afternoon (The Loft, the Kitchen, the Pool – And Judgement): The LS Resthouse? Legit. The loft? Cozy. The kitchen? Functional, which is more than I can say for my own kitchen back home. But…the pool. Oh, the pool. I'd seen the pictures online. Crystal blue, inviting. The reality? A little cloudy. A little…greenish? Maybe just the lighting. Maybe it's my mood. I feel…deflated. A wave of disappointment crashes over me. Seriously, how hard is it to keep a pool clean?! I swear I almost cried. (Don't judge me. Travel is emotional.)
Late Afternoon/Evening (Food and Recovery): Found a ridiculously cheap, ridiculously delicious "turo-turo" place (point-point restaurants) nearby. Sizzling adobo? Yes, please! The flavors exploded in my mouth. Maybe the pool wasn't so bad after all? The adobo definitely helped. Strolled back to the loft as the sun was setting, feeling a cautious optimism. Made a mental note: Tomorrow, pool verdict re-evaluation. Along with a stiff drink.
Day 2: Pool Reboot and Island Vibes (Or, My Failed Attempt at Being Zen)
Morning (Pool Round Two…Fight!): Wake up. Determined to conquer the pool. Put on my swimsuit. The sky is a brilliant blue. The pool? Still kinda greenish. Okay, maybe the lighting is a problem. I cautiously dip my toes in. It's…refreshing. Kind of. I force myself in, flailing a bit. Okay, deep breaths. Be zen. Appreciate the moment. I spent like 20 minutes trying to get the perfect shot for Instagram. I want it to look as stunning as the photos of it.
Late Morning (Island Time!): Decided I needed a dose of actual paradise. Took a tricycle (a three-wheeled motorcycle taxi, essentially) to a boat. Headed to a nearby island (can't even remember the name – details, details!). The boat ride, though? Fantastic! The ocean, the wind in my hair, the salty spray… pure heaven.
Afternoon (Beach Bumming and Fishy Mishaps): The island beach was stunning. White sand, swaying palms, crystal-clear water. I found a nice spot and promptly proceeded to achieve maximum horizontal bliss. I was reading a book, but I also just laid there. I may or may not have accidentally fallen asleep. When I woke up, a fish had decided my big toe was a snack. Jumped up screaming. (My dignity? Gone.) The locals laughed. I joined in.
Evening (Dinner and Reflection): More delicious, mind-blowing Filipino food. This time, grilled seafood. The sunset over the ocean was breathtaking. Back at the loft, I sipped some local beer (San Miguel, of course). I journaled a bit, feeling a strange mix of exhaustion and exhilaration. The pool? Still a minor issue. But I think I was starting to fall for Calapan. Maybe just a little bit.
Day 3: Market Mania and Goodbye Guilt (Maybe I Still Don't Know How to Pack)
Morning (Market Madness): Determined to experience local life, I ventured to the Calapan Public Market. Holy noise! The vendors were shouting, the smells were intense (both good and…otherwise), and the sheer variety of produce was overwhelming. I bought some mangoes (duh), some weird-looking greens the vendor assured me were delicious, and a shirt with a cartoon chicken on it. (Don't ask. I'm susceptible to impulse buys.)
Mid-Day (Kitchen Capers): Decided to try and cook something in the kitchen, armed with my market bounty. Disaster. The "delicious" greens tasted like dirt. The mangoes were perfect, though! I managed a passable fried rice. The kitchen, bless its little heart, survived.
Afternoon (Pool Re-Evaluation - Final Verdict): Back to the pool for one last swim. Still a little murky. But…I kind of liked it, actually. It felt…authentic. Not perfectly manicured, but real. This pool is like my trip to the Philippines, it is not perfect, as a matter of fact, I am sure it is imperfect but it is still beautiful. Maybe it’s growing on me?
Evening (Packing and Pre-Departure Angst): Packing. The bane of my existence. Somehow, despite only being here for three days, I had amassed a mountain of "stuff." (Mostly the chicken shirt and a bag of dried mangoes). Panic set in. Could I possibly fit it all? Did I forget something? (Probably.) The existential dread of returning to "real life" loomed large. I took a deep breath and tried to embrace the mess. And accept the truth: my packing skills will probably never improve.
Day 4: Departure (And the Longing for Adobo):
- Morning: Last breakfast at the loft. Savoring the final moments of peace and quiet. One last look at that darn pool. A strange feeling of melancholy washed over me. I was leaving. Calapan, with all its imperfections, has grown on me.
- Departure: Taxi to the airport. Another bumpy plane ride. As the city faded from view, I was left with a yearning for more.
- Post-Trip Reflections (ongoing): I've been home for about a week. I'm still thinking about that adobo, that weird island beach fish, and that slightly murky, totally endearing pool. I'm already plotting my return. (And working on my packing skills. Maybe.) The trip wasn't perfect. It was messy, and there were moments of doubt but it was real. It made me feel alive. And that, my friends, is the best travel itinerary ever.
So, like, What *is* [Topic – Let's Say, Coffee Shops] Anyway?
Ugh, coffee shops. Seriously? You REALLY want to know? Alright, alright. Fine. In a nutshell, I guess they're these havens of overpriced caffeine, questionable wifi, and the perpetual background murmur of people pretending to be productive. But that's the *cynical* me talking. The romanticized version? Ah, they're a cozy escape! A place to nurse a latte, people-watch, and… write this ridiculously long answer. (See what I did there?)
Okay, But *Why* Do People Go There? Besides, y'know, the Coffee.
Oh, the reasons are legion, my friend. Some are obvious: caffeine fixes, of course. But then there's the allure of "the vibe." That carefully cultivated aesthetic of distressed wood, exposed brick, and that sickly-sweet scent of vanilla that they all seem to share. Personally? I go for the *illusion* of productivity. I can sit there with my laptop, surrounded by actual workers, and feel like I *should* be doing something important. Reality? I'm probably just scrolling through cat videos. Don't judge! We all have weaknesses. My weakness is apparently pretending I'm a sophisticated writer while fueled by a triple espresso.
What's the Deal with the Baristas? They seem to know...things.
The baristas? Ah, the gatekeepers of the bean. They're a whole different species, really. Part caffeine-fueled artist, part therapist, part… well, sometimes they just look *exhausted*. I had this one barista, Sarah, at a place I used to frequent. She *always* knew my order, even if I hadn't been there in, like, a month. She'd remember the "double shot, almond milk, extra foam, the usual?" It was impressive. Also, kinda creepy. Like, were they secretly compiling dossiers on all of us? (Probably not, but the paranoia is real.) They're like the unofficial spirit guides of the caffeinated masses. And honestly, I just want them to get paid more. They deserve it. Especially the ones who can actually make latte art that doesn't look like a blob.
Best Coffee Shop Experience? Tell me about it.
Oh man, alright. Buckle up for this one. This isn't just "best" it's... it's... transcendent, okay? It's more than the coffee. It was about 6 years ago. I was in this tiny place – a real hole-in-the-wall kind of deal – in Portland, Oregon. Yeah, cliché, I know. But whatever. The place was called "The Daily Grind" (original, I know, but bear with me). It was during a torrential downpour. Like, the kind of rain that makes you question your life choices. I was soaking wet, stressed about *something* I can't even remember anymore (probably deadlines), and utterly miserable. I stumbled in, dripping all over the freshly waxed floor. The place wasn't fancy. Just a few mismatched tables, a worn-out couch, and the smell of roasting beans that hit you like a warm hug. The barista, this old woman named Agnes with eyes that looked like they'd seen a thousand storms, just *knew*. She didn't say anything, just fixed me a steaming cup of some dark, rich brew. Not the fancy stuff, just their house blend. I sat there, huddled in a corner, watching the rain. And... I don't know. Suddenly, the rain wasn't so bad. The world didn't feel so heavy. The coffee? It was the best damn coffee I've ever had, not because of the beans, or the preparation, but because of *everything else*. The atmosphere, the woman, the rain... a tiny perfect moment. And you know what? I think Agnes knew what I needed that day more than I did. I've been chasing that feeling ever since. Haven't found it again, mind you. But I keep looking.
Worst Coffee Shop Experience? Spill the beans, dude.
Ugh. Okay, here's a beauty for you. This wasn't *one* experience, but a series of connected crimes against caffeine and common decency. I'll call it "The Great Burnt Bean Incident." This particular chain – I won't name names, but let's say it rhymes with "Starbucks" – had a location near my old apartment. And it was consistently, *inconsistently* terrible. It started small. Burnt coffee. Regularly. Like, every single time, it tasted like ash and despair. Then came the *attitude*. The baristas acted like they were personally offended by my order ("Just a plain black coffee, please. No, seriously, *just* coffee."). Followed by the long lines, the spilled chai lattes, and the questionable music choices that always seemed to be playing at ear-splitting volumes. But the *pièce de résistance*? One morning, after particularly grueling week, I stood in line, bleary-eyed and craving a caffeine lifeline. The barista calls out the order. I get my coffee, take a sip. It was *so* bad. Like, the worst coffee I'd ever tasted. I walked back up to the counter (because *god forbid* I just suffer in silence) and politely said, "Excuse me. This coffee is… well, it's burnt." The barista just sighed, looked me dead in the eye, and said, "We get that a lot." A LOT?! I swear, I wanted to scream. I wanted to throw my (burnt) coffee at the wall. I wanted to demand a refund, but I was so defeated and so desperately needed caffeine that I just... I just walked out. Never went back. They lost a customer that day. A customer who was ready to spend all their money in the store for better coffee and service. It was an emotional experience. And honestly? I still hold a grudge. The lack of caffeine in that moment made me want to leave the store to go to the competitor. Lesson learned: you will always lose the customer.
What's the biggest coffee shop faux pas?
Oh, this one is easy. Being *that* person. You know the one. The person who takes up an entire four-person table with their laptop and a single small coffee, and then stays there for five hours, occasionally glancing up to give the impression of actually *doing* something.
What's the Best Coffee Shop Aesthetic, in Your Opinion?
Okay, so this kinda ties into the "best experience" thing. It's less about a specific look, and more about the feeling. I want something cozy, lived-in, with some character. Like, I want to feel like the place has seenHotel For Travelers
