Hibiscus Garden Inn<\/strong> is a serene abode wreathed by trees and plants along a hardly commercial road\u2014openly displaying Joy Blasselle\u2019s affinity with nature, who chose the flower name \u201chibiscus\u201d itself for her hotel.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Upon entering, you will be welcomed by Hibiscus’ refined bar that is fronted by the owner’s daughter, Sweet, who personally concoct the drinks that they offer.<\/p>\n

\"\"The open bar that serves some of the best cocktails in the city<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

This is adjacent to the newly-unveiled aircon room, where guests are free to lounge either for some drinks or for some\u00a0fresh and home-made Mediterranean dishes offered by their pizzeria.<\/p>\n

\"\"The aircon room is a small space where guests can enjoy some quiet time\u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Walking past these will finally take you to the tropical paradise where you would want to do nothing but somberly sit on the copious, cushioned rattan chairs under the shade of the canopy of trees and lie by the pool\u00a0after a good soak.<\/p>\n

\"\"One can readily enjoy every nook at Hibiscus because of the many chairs gracing the green expanse<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Munch on some snacks while you’re at it, anywhere and anytime you please!<\/p>\n

\"\"The pool is also one of the newest additions to the hotel’s amenities<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Closely knitted to this, then,\u00a0are the rooms whose outdoor spaces feature individual hammocks and pairs of chairs that very well complement the thicket landscape.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

More than these,\u00a0Hibiscus prominently mirrors the comfort of one\u2019s home through its low-ceiling, maple-toned rooms furnished with eco-friendly furniture made from native materials. Plus, y<\/span>ou can barely find anything made from plastic inside because even the trash cans are made from wicker.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"King Room\u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

The hotel presently houses 14 rooms of four types: Special Room, Family Room, Queen Room, and King Room\u2014with the latter two being connected to their own private garden.<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

While most anything two-faced is never a good thing, Hibiscus Garden Inn is part of the minority that brings delight. This is because of how it transforms as a meek expanse when the sun is still up to a bold stretch lighted up by the capiz lanterns hanging where they are best fitted.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

So if anything, make sure to walk along the opposing sides of this lush hotel, from one tip to another.<\/p>\n
