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.

Oh! Quesadilla made of Plant Based from Starbucks

A family member mentioned wanting a drink from Starbucks , though I'm not a fan of their beverages. For breakfast, I decided to try their plant based Oh! Quesadilla , which consists of zesty plant-based carnitas , beans, mashed potato, and cheese wrapped in a tortilla, priced at PHP 135.00 ($2.70). A family member ordered a Java Chip Frappuccino and a White Chocolate Frappuccino . Grande Java Chip Frappuccino - PHP 205.00 Venti White Chocolate Frappuccino PHP 230.00 The Oh! Quesadilla made with plant-based ingredients isn’t bad at all. The only noticeable difference is in the texture, but otherwise, it’s fine to me. You could easily fool people who don’t know it’s plant based. With all the ingredients, it hides what it’s made of, and its colorful appearance makes it even more appealing. NOT SPONSORED.
