Dive into a seafood spectacle — see the lobster up close and celebrate James & Carmina’s birthdays at Fresh International, Solaire Resort.

While traveling around the world, the family visited the Philippines and decided to combine a double birthday dinner with James. In our chat group, we discussed which restaurants we’d like to dine at, and Mom Violy has been eager to try the all-you-can-eat lobster her best friend recommended at Solaire. Carmina took charge of making the reservation through Solaire's Resort  website and asked the family which seating time they preferred, choosing between two options with different time frames. Carmina registered it under Mom Violy's name and phone number. She received an email for our confirmation, and a week beforehand, a reminder was sent to Mom Violy's mobile to confirm if we were going ahead or not. Carmina replied to the SMS since Mom Violy wasn’t sure how to do it. We were told to arrive fifteen minutes before our scheduled entry time, which was 5:30 p.m. on February 12, 2026. When we arrived, we were informed we couldn’t enter the dining area until exactly 5:30 p.m...

Self Service or With Assistance at New York Laundry

 


Not many of us have a big washing machine to wash our comforters. 

Carmina decided to bring it to a laundry place and found New York Laundry.

Entering inside wearing a face mask Carmina approaches the employee on duty asking whether she can leave her comforter to be washed with assistance. I was told there is an additional charge of PHP 100.00 ($1.72) to have it done.

The employee from New York Laundry asked if I had any detergent with me and said yes. Letting them know I didn't want any softener because I am allergic to it.

They will look at the size of the laundry to see which washing machine it will fit with different price range. Since my comforter was a king size it had it inside a bigger washing machine for PHP 220.00 ($3.79) and the dryer will cost additional PHP 168.00 ($2.90).


Carmina was told it will be ready at 3:00 PM. 

Upon picking it up is when you'll be asked to make a payment in cash best to pay full amount because they don't have change for large bills.

NOTE:

Carmina is not selling or advertising for New York Laundry just something I need to have washed.
