Hotel Preps: Ocular and Booking at Diamond Hotel


After my first fitting with Hana, on our way to our reception venue, we called Diamond Hotel and checked if can do an ocular that day despite being informed the day before that there's no available room. By some twist of luck, the girl on the line said that there's a vacant Executive Suite and we can do visit that afternoon. 

We finished a few more wedding errands first and had afternoon snacks. By the time we got to Diamond Hotel, it was already dusk. We approached the manager on duty and shared our agenda, and so she happily accompanied us to the available suite for an ocular. As we entered the room, she shared to us the room size (88sqm), booking inclusions (breakfast for 2), check-in/out policies, and the like. Since we said that we're considering it as our preps venue for our wedding, she shared to us the bridal packages they're offering at the moment.

Since I've already done an extensive research beforehand, there's not much questions from us at that point so I just took some snaps of the room.

Since we'd like to know more about the Diamond Indulgence membership and how we can leverage the benefits for our hotel bookings, the manager (sorry I forgot her name) endorsed us to the Kath, the Diamond Indulgence specialist. 

Kath explained to us the benefits of being an Indulgence member and the annual membership cost. It will set us back by Php6,500 but that is a meager amount compared to the perks and room discounts we can get just for our wedding preps booking. Kath was nice enough to do a comparison computation so we can appreciate the advantages better. And then there are also the dining and wellness benefits for our taking. So it's really a no brainer that we avail of the membership.

After signing-up for the Indulgence card, we proceeded with the booking order. Kath noted the dates for our reservation so she can already do an advance booking. We can pay on another date when we already have the card and the vouchers. Probably we'll just do the payment once we avail of the complimentary buffet at Corniche on my birthday [Update: Corniche Birthday Dinner]. Will share that experience to you too, so stay tuned! =)



Cheers!
