| I promised the little girl we'd go swimming once I find a new job. I invited a couple of people to Club Manila East but nothing came out of the plans. Not losing hope that I can still fulfill my promise to my toddler I asked my aunt if the pool at their village is open to public. When she said it's not well maintained and would advise me against going there she also suggested we head to Ace Waterspa and even offered to join us and have my uncle drive us to and from their Pasig branch.
So off we go. I just packed a change of clothes and the little one's milk as well as a towel each.
Upon reaching their driveway, an usher/guard opened the car and assisted us. Nice touch. It IS a hotel after all. The lobby is quitr small BUT very welcoming and clean. The staff were attentive and courteous. Everyone greeted us with a smile as we went up to the changing/shower room.
This is by far the cleanest shower room I have encountered probably because of the indoor facilities. Goodbye putik moments. You have tk check in your shoes/slippers so I'd suggest to wear the inexpensive types "just in case" it gets lost or mixed up but I highly doubt that.
On the way to the pool we were greeted by a cold wave of air. Not sure if it's from the airconditioned lobby or what. But being already wet it sure sent chills down my body. The little girl started shivering so had to force her to jump in the heated water.
The water is heated just right, the jets and whatnots are heaven sent. I didn't get to try everything because the little one doesn't like it and would rather "surf" through the flowing river. Yeah, such wild imagination. Nakatuntong lang sa float, surfing na daw. The kiddie pool was her fave. The water stops around her chest area and she can walk aroubd by herself. Such a happy 3 year old.
We decided to leave after 2 hours mainly because we're all hungry!!! We ate at S&R before heading there so we were surprised at how famished we were just after 2 hours of making lublob (not even swim ha). After cleaning up we went to the cafe/resto. I ordered the beef gyudon (if I remember it right). The taste was good BUT they put too much sauce on the rice that everything became salty. Sayang!
Anyway, overall we had a pretty good experience and I'd like to come back soon by ourselves. I just don't know where to park since we got dropped off and picked up on our last visit. I can always give them a call to inquire.
