Le Blanc Hotel in Antipolo City

Le Blanc Hotel Antipolo

Antipolo is one of the few places that I frequent to. I love going to the National Shrine of Our Lady of Peace and Good Voyage also known as the Antipolo Church and after the mass, I shop for Suman and Kasoy as well. Also, I've been eyeing to explore the city more. I've heard there are museums, resorts, and wildlife park hidden in the city. Thankfully, a friend (Lee of ilovepaars.com) invited me to join her over for a staycation escapade together with our other friends. I had the chance to spend the weekend at Le Blanc Hotel in Antipolo.
