Carmina's review on Summit Hotel in Tacloban

Last year my dad had informed me he will be getting married in Tacloban the place his wife grew up in the Philippines . My dad said he would like all of his family members to attend since they couldn't go to the one in the United States. Carmina booked her flight during Philippine Airlines ’ year-end sale at the start of 2026. I told my dad about my travel plans for a short trip from Friday, April 17 to Sunday, April 19. My cousins also asked for my flight details so they could book the same flight. My dad said he will book my room for me sharing with two family members at  Summit Hotel in Tacloban . Sending me the confirmation booking information for my reference.  As the months went by, before I knew it, the big day had finally arrived—a rare event that doesn’t happen too often. Everything had been carefully planned by my dad and his wife, Tita Cielo. When we arrived, the check-in time was 2 PM, but there was a mix-up with the rooms.

Carmina's Review on Bread Pocket Café



Carmina went on a bread venture, searching for a new place to order her bread. Sometimes we get tired of ordering from the same place, especially when on a diet, and feel the urge to explore other options.

It took me quite a while to decide what type of bread I wanted this time.

I ended up choosing a variety to have more options for making sandwiches.

A half baguette costs PHP 44.00 ($0.92). Considering the size, the price is reasonable. The baguette is softer than others I've tried before, which is a great advantage, especially for keeping bread fresh at home longer. I removed it from the packaging, sliced it in the middle, and opened it on the side to make sandwich preparation easier. Then, I placed it in a clear plastic container with a lid to keep it fresh at home.



My favorite bread has always been Ciabatta. For PHP 44.00 ($0.92), it’s big for its price, soft, and absolutely enjoyable. The inside is moist and fluffy, and since it’s quite large, I usually can only eat half at a time.


Honestly, I had a hard time figuring out what a 1950's Footlong was. I had no idea there was a hotdog inside the bread until I checked their Facebook page to find out what type of bread it was.

It's actually pretty big and worth the price of PHP 169.00 ($3.52). The 1950's Footlong has a local hotdog inside, and the bread is soft, making it enough to split into two meals.


I treated myself to a Coffee Bun for PHP 56.00 ($1.17). It was something different, kind of reminiscent of a donut but in the form of a baked bun, with a flavor that combines coffee and chocolate from the top.



This coffee bread is unlike any I've had before, and I’m excited to try their other baked goods in the future.
