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. Some were ready for check-in, but the one...

Loot Bag


When I had arrived back to Manila and I was unpacking my belongings separate the ones that need to be washed.

I had separated the shampoo, conditioner, bath wash soap, body lotion, soap, brewed coffee, sugar packs and tea bags that were given by the hotel during my stay. Each day my room was cleaned and they had replenished my supply I kept it to accumulate.

I have sixteen employees who work for my parent in-law’s business and every time I come back from my trip I make sure I have something to give to them that looks like a loot bag of goodies.

Funny Story:

I gave four employee’s their loot bags that had either one tube of shampoo, hand lotion, chocolates, wafer cookies, brewed coffee with sugar pack and hard candies at night before I was going to sleep.




Morning came and I went downstairs Manang V had informed me a funny incident that had happened to her last night when I had given her the loot bags.

Manang V said, she didn’t really pay any attention to what was inside and she place her loot bag in the freezer thinking everything was all chocolate.

Manang V had informed Ike to do the same thing. Ike said, Manang V they are not all chocolate there is also shampoo inside and the whole time Manang V thought the shampoo tube was a chocolate bar.

Manang V said, she got fooled by the look of it.

Ike thought the round soap was a chocolate he decided to open it up found out it was soap. It was so funny as they informed me what had happened.

They had informed everyone in the house, so they don’t make the same mistake.
