A lot of things have already been said and written about fatherhood. The bliss and wonders, the joys and ecstasy, the warmth and magic, the thrill and excitement, and how fulfilling the whole experience leaves a man. This “glorified” view of fatherhood may be due to how you have always seen fathers when you were growing up. To your impressionable eyes, they are constantly confident, strong, and infallible.

But, as in all things, there are two sides to fatherhood.

It is not always fun and games. Being a dad can also be tedious and hectic.

The responsibilities of raising independent, productive, loving and informed human beings, of transforming themselves into whatever their children need them to be, and of being the best models for their little ones can sometimes prove to be too much for many father figures.

Unlike any other regular employee who gets to have breaks, paid leaves, and overtime pay, a dad’s job doesn’t end after eight or more hours of work. It’s already hard enough that many of these individuals have to provide for their families, but every father also has to manage fulfilling all his  household responsibilities and obligations while trying to keep up with all the expectations of what it means to be a “good parent.”

In this moment, many of the fathers out there are in dire need of peace and recreation, fathers who long for a bit of fun and excitement, fathers who are tired of seeing the four walls of their offices and who are eager to enjoy the company of their family. They may not be openly talking about it, but surely, the struggle is very real for most of them.

Our fathers should not be left in the same-old routine of their everyday lives. They deserve a break–a time to relax, rediscover themselves, and enjoy the good things that life has to offer.

A much-needed day off

Our fathers may seem like their batteries never run out. We often don’t hear them complain about how badly they want to take a day off from their daily duties. But even the superheroes we look up to sometimes need to recharge before they can take on the world again and face some of the toughest villains in town. Belmont Hotel Manila, conveniently located at the world-class Resorts World Manila (RWM) complex, may just have the perfect solution to help reward  fathers for their efforts in providing for the family.

With Belmont’s amazing staycation package offered especially for all the equally amazing dads out there, your fathers will get the rest and relaxation they rightfully deserve. The package comes with an overnight stay for two with buffet breakfast, a free stuffed Bailey Bear, a free massage session for two, and a 20% discount voucher for select RWM shows. “For Beloved Dads” staycation package is available for the entire month of June.

Belmont Hotel Manila boasts of elegantly cozy rooms that are equipped with basic luxuries for optimum comfort and security, a roofdeck pool that provides a 360-degree panoramic view of the city, a restaurant that serves up classic international cuisine along with authentic local specialties, and a five-star service that banks on the signature Filipino hospitality.

Belmont Hotel Manila also caters to different types of fathers.

For the athletic type, the hotel has a fully-equipped fitness center that comes with saunas and steam rooms within the shower areas. For the career-driven type, Belmont Hotel has a business center, meeting rooms, and a function room that can accommodate a 100-person conference. And, thanks to its convenient location, dads who just want to enjoy their break can have easy access to the many thrills at the Philippines’ premiere integrated entertainment and tourism destination.
