Cafe Lupe Bed & Breakfast

Someone is getting good at surprises....

Last May 6th I turned 27 wooohooo. And since I didn't have to work on cinco de mayo someone came up with a surprise staycation for my birthday.


Antipolo is known for many things; overlooking restaurants, churches, pools and...... B&Bs.

I really can't give much details about the place because everything was prepared by him but I can share our experience.


We arrived at around 3pm. This place is literally like 10 minutes away from our house.

                                                                       the hotel building

 the dining area

The whole complex has many accommodations from spas to karaoke bars all in separate buildings.

 The lobby

 outside lounge 

Mr. Surprise obviously planned this "ahead of time" and this was the only room available with two single beds lol.

 This is the usual setup of the room he got

 and for special request.... haha

I actually enjoyed just relaxing and watching TV while he was working

I've always wanted this kind of shower

a few shots before leaving

Cafe Lupe at night

I thought the wide screen viewing in the middle was superb 

Since he had to work that night on his lappy we bought dinner and stayed in our room. And my birthday isn't complete without pizza. It's a must!

We had breakfast at cafe Lupe's restaurant on the balcony

with a perfect cup of coffee

Andio and I go to so many places each weekend but we've never stayed somewhere over night and I wanted so badly to stay out of town for my birthday but due to work we couldn't schedule that. The staycation surprise though was perfect! Simple and solemn. Effort is the best gift you can give and you got an A+ this time (knowing you planned everything just 1 day before). I couldn't have asked for more. Much love for you.

Club 360 Cloud9 Antipolo

When you live in Antipolo it sometimes gets tiring going all the way down to Manila just for the weekends with all the traffic and stuff. Luckily, Antipolo is getting more and more developed every month with new attractions opening meaning more reasons to stay up on the mountain.

Though this is not a new attraction, but it was a new experience for us.

Cloud 9 is a well known resort/hotel in Antipolo as it is considered the highest peak of the city.

Also located here is club 360.

view from the parking lot haha

The perfect time to go here (I suggest) would be around 4-5PM right before the sun sets. If you're going on a weekend there might be a line for the hanging bridge, so better get there an hour before the sunset.

while waiting....

nice clock in the lobby

Actually many things in the area were old fashioned and antiq. 

beautiful artwork

See how pretty the sunset is? 

To go up the hanging bridge it will cost you 50 pesos each. Its not bad and it is worth it. There's a monkey in a cage beside the bridge. I love monkeys so it made me extra happy. No picture though sorry.

.  

And here we go.... Only 10 people are allowed to climb up at a time. Thankfully, coz it does get shaky. I was seriously scared and my friend here kept laughing and making the bridge shake. But we made it. I made it with him laughing.

tadah! When you get to the top, you'll see the skyline. You can see Sumulong highway which was cool seeing the lights of cars going up and down the zigzag highway.

and now the dramatic poses....

e

Going down was interesting. It's like 4 floors to get down but don't worry, its just stairs. Every floor was filled with artwork which was just beautiful. I'm sure there's a back story to who makes them and why they're there, but I have no clue.

You pass by the art studio too on the second floor where it is visible with glass windows. You can actually see the artists inside just painting and talking and all their work everywhere.

So there. If you're ever in Antipolo try stopping by Cloud 9. They do have a restaurant so you can have lunch, merienda, dinner. Whatever you want just come before sunset so you can enjoy the beauty of nature.
