EGYPT- ISRAEL- JORDAN 2009
by: Ysabel Villaflor

These videos were taken from my 2009 trip to the Holyland.  I made these right after we got home and I have these uploaded in my facebook account.  I made the videos because I wanted to share it with my friends I met on the trip.. and also because I just discovered the new Windows Movie Maker Program at that time. 
I hope you like them :)
This is also to tie you over my super delayed parts 4 and 5 of the Unholy in the Holyland series which will be released sometime around December. Hopefully, I will be active in blogging by that time.. and travelling AGAIN!!  I miss it!

HOTEL REVIEW: CANYON BOUTIQUE HOTEL, Amman, Jordan

Posted by Ysabs on 9:38 PM in , , , , , ,




CANYON BOUTIQUE HOTEL, AMMAN, JORDAN
“My Favorite Hotel in my Holyland Trip”

Canyon Boutique Hotel
Adeeb Wahbeh Street | PO Box: 144590, Amman 11814, Jordan




By: Ysabs Villaflor

LOCATION: off the main road in downtown Amman, right in front of grocery store with 24-hour service.

FEEL: very modern, clean, small, luxurious boutique inn with only 5 stories. very intimate and very charming.

PERSONAL: I was with a group of tourists and it was the last hotel we stayed at from a number of hotels in the Holyland tour. I would like to say that this hotel left a very nice impression on me. It was such a nice surprise since most of the hotels we stayed at during the tour were mostly big hotels which have franchises in different countries.  This was such a welcome change.
THE ROOMS: are spacious, clean, and very new. they have modern facilities like flat screen television, nice lighting/ had a queen size bed all to myself and had an amazing time sleeping on the very comfortable bed.









THE BATHROOM: is spacious, without a tub. There is a heater, an intercom in the bathroom. The toiletries are always refreshed and the towels are always laundered.

THE FOOD: is good! I tried the breakfast buffet which has a variety of continental and middle eastern fare. Compared to the other big hotel buffets I tried during the tour, the dishes are more adjusted to Western taste but still middle eastern. Dinner is fusion of international and middle eastern dishes. Both times, delicious. Dishes could also be requested. My niece who was sick, requested for a Filipino dish, which the chef was able to come up with- it was so good, my sis-in-law asked the Chef how it was made so she can duplicate it at home!  The Chef, gladly gave away his recipe.


THE SERVICE: the staff will make you feel right at home and always willing to help out in which ever way they can. Most of the managerial staff are big handsome men, in very snazzy suits, and always with a ready smile. Since it is a small boutique hotel, most of the staff are multi-taskers and may be assigned to do more than one thing. Our waiters are always willing to help us with our questions regarding anything.

OTHER AMENITIES: a computer at the lobby to catch up on emails, 5th floor roofdeck which has a restaurant and shisha bar- with an amazing view of th city. it is the perfect way to spend a lazy night chatting with friends and drinking coffee

MY RATING: 4 out of 5 STARS !
