Threscia Alessandra's Point of View

After 9 hours of traveling, we finally arrived at Qiao's Paradise Resorts. It was already 3:45 PM when we arrived and I felt exhausted. Grant parked the car in the parking lot of the resorts and he stopped the engine. 

Mukhang nauna kaming nakarating kaysa kila Olive, Adriel, Jhona at Stefano. 

I immediately unbuckled my seatbelt and held the door handle. I pushed it to open then I stepped out of the car. Nilabas ko ang sunglasses ko at sinuot iyon dahil maaraw pa. Sumulyap ako kay Grant na lumabas sa kotse niya at nakasuot na rin ng sunglasses. 

He looks hot wearing it. Ang lakas ng dating niya at ang pogi. Ilang sandali pa lang ay may dumating na dalawang magkasunod na range over at alam ko na sina Olive na ito. 

They also parked the car in the space and like I expected, Jhona, Olive, Stefano, and Adriel came out of the car. Napansin ko na magkasama sa isang kotse sila Adriel at Olive, sabagay; nililigawan naman ni Adriel si Olive.

Gano'n din naman si Stefano kay Jhona, magkasama rin sila sa iisang kotse. Agad ko silang sinalubong at niyakap sila Olive at Jhona. Kalaunan ay humiwalay na ako.

"Sa wakas, nakarating na rin tayo," wika ni Olive. Ngumiti lang ako sa kanila. Maya-maya pa ay lumapit na sa amin 'yong manager ng resorts namin kaya napatingin kami sa kaniya. Napansin ko rin na may kasama siyang apat na bell boy. 

"Welcome to Qiao's Paradise Resorts. I'm Camilla Vellada, the manager and I'm here to escort you insde. This way," magalang nitong ani sa amin na ikinatango ko lang. Kalaunan ay inutusan na niya ang apat na bell boy para bitbitin ang mga dala namin na maleta. 

Pagkatapos ay sumunod na kami sa kanila at nang makarating kami sa entrance ng hotel na tutuluyan namin ay binuksan iyon ng door attendant. Tinungo namin ang front desk at sinalubong kami ng ngiti ng isang receptionist at binati kami.

'Yong manager na ang kumausap sa receptionist at sinabi na may reservations kaming walo na tatlo na royal suite room. Well, it's the most expensive room here at our resorts. When it was done, they guided us to the elevator which can accommodate up to 15 people.

Hindi naman nagtagal ay nakarating na kami sa floor ng royal suite. As the elevator opened, we came out and the manager escorted us into our rooms. I can't help but be amazed by the interior design of our hotel. 

Its theme color is royal gold and it really feels like you're in a palace when you enter our hotel. The manager gave the keycard to our room to Grant.

"If you need something, just press the intercom," she informed and I just nodded because of it. She then excused herself together with the bell boys. Tumingin ako kila Olive na pumapasok na rin sa kwarto nila. 

Sumulyap ako kay Grant nang t-in-ap ang keycard sa censor at tumunog iyon. Kalaunan ay nagbukas 'yon at pumasok na kami ni Grant habang hila-hila niya ang maleta namin. Kapagkuwa'y sinara na ni Grant ang pinto.

As I entered the royal suite, I can't help but feel amazed because of its luxurious interior. Indeed, this suite is expensive but it's worth it because it's so satisfying. It feels like I'm in a chamber of royalty because of its vibe.

Royal Suites are the highest category here in our hotel. It is the most expensive suite and elites can only afford this kind of suite. It was richly decorated and furnished with carefully selected materials on each detail.

It was made of gold, granite, marble, crystal, and gemstones. It has a king-sized bed, living room, built-in kitchen and dining hall, terrace, an outdoor pool, bathroom, comfort room, couple's dressing rooms framed by sliding doors.
