Have a well spent weekend at Cafe Lupe Hostel and Restaurant
8:58:00 PMMy regular weekend is spent at home to play with the kids, relax after a stressful 5-day office works and finish blog articles. But last July 9-10, 2016 I was invited to join the Antipolo Bloggers' Getaway with my Pinoy Blogger friends. It was my first time to be part of this exciting event to explore different tourist destinations at Antipolo City and to revisit one of the restaurants where I regularly perform with my band years ago, Cafe Lupe Hostel and Restaurant. I'm sure this is going to be so much fun!
We were scheduled to visit Antipolo Cathedral and Hinulugang Taktak, Mystical Cave and Mt. Purro Nature Reserve but because of the rain, we weren't able to visit Mt. Purro Nature Reserve. Here are some of the photos I took during the tour: Check out "A trip to Antipolo's popular tourist spots" for a more detailed article about our tour.

Besides the delicious food offered by Cafe Lupe, customers flock the place because of their affordable Onea KTV rooms. We are very happy to have been given the chance to sing our hearts out on one of their 4 KTV Rooms. You can actually book their smallest room with a capacity of 8-12 pax for only P300.00 per hour with an additional fee of P50.00 for every extra person.
It has 2 microphones that is great for those who love to sing duet songs and what's awesome is that you can download an application where you can search a song to retrieve its code to easily input it in the karaoke machine. Look for it at the end page of the song book. Make the experience more fun with cocktails, ice cold beer and finger foods.
Here's my video while singing Till they take my heart away by Clair Marlo. (Thanks to David of The Life and Times of Rich Valor for the video):
They also have a live band performing outside the restaurant scheduled every Tuesday to Sunday:

Me and my room mate Kim of Chasing Curious Alice was assigned to occupy the Melba Room.
Our room has two single beds, LED TV with cable, AC unit, Hot and Cold Shower, Electric Kettle, Lamp Shade, Towels, Toiletries (Shampoo, Soap, Toothbrush and Toothpaste), Disposable Slippers and Mineral bottles.
Rooms with 2 single beds (Room 2-5,7-8) like this cost P1,800.00 on weekdays and P2,800.00 on weekends and holidays. Room 1 with a Queen Size Bed and Room 6 with a King Size Bed cost P3,800.00 on weekdays and P4,800.00 on weekends and holidays. All prices are inclusive of breakfast for 2 pax. Check out Cafe Lupe's Website to see photos of the other rooms. For families with toddlers, the kids will surely enjoy the little playground outside the hostel:
I truly enjoyed the experience and I would to like to thank Sir Alvin and Chef Albright Carranza for inviting us and to Ms. Grace of Tag Media and Pinoy Blogger for giving me the opportunity to join this getaway. I had so much fun with my new blogger friends: Dianne of Curly Dianne, Arrianne of Travel Habeat, Allan of The Filipino Rambler, Orlee of Orlee Pasion, David of The Life and Times of Rich Valor, Kim of Chasing Curious Alice and Rey of Boy Raket. Check out their sites as well to read their own experiences during the weekend getaway. :)
