Great Staycation for the entire family at Oakwood Premier Joy~Nostalg Center Manila
The last time me and my siblings were complete was 4 years ago (in 2013). That was the same time we went on a 3 – country backpacking trip! And even if we annoy each other at times, I can’t deny that I’ve missed them so much. So when I had the chance to go back to the Philippines, I hoped and prayed that we can spend time together. The fact that my brother has now his own family increased my level of excitement.
While we can stay at our house in the province, my hectic schedule in Manila obviously makes it an impractical choice. Glad some of the best accommodations in the metro asked us to stay in their properties. One of these is the Oakwood Premier Joy~Nostalg Center Manila.
Staying there wasn’t really planned. But when Ms Kyra Cabaero read online that we were in the Philippines, she and Ms Laurie Balderrama – Cardeño contacted and offered us 2 different rooms! If you ask me, that was the perfect way to wrap our trip, and I will tell you why as you read this post.

Why I love Oakwood Premier Joy~Nostalg Center Manila

The Food
On our first dinner, it was Casablanca theme and we had to dress up, it was the first time they organized that kind of event. I must say, it is not just the food that we enjoyed in the property, but also the different fun themes and activities we had every dinner. Every night, we would eat at The Nostalgia Restaurant which serves heavenly dishes, our second night was a special dinner with my whole family! And on our last night, we enjoyed interesting trivia together with my sister, brother and other blogger friends. The Sangria and Pizza combo ended the night in the best possible way!
If you will eat at The Nostalgia, you better try the Lamb Steak (recommended by Jon), Adobo Steak (recommended by Kisse), Salmon (recommended by me) and all their desserts!
As for the breakfast, it was equally divine as well.
