Luxury room. Not that big or spacious. I feel that their room rates are too pricey.

Room rate range from Php 8,000 - 11,000(with lounge access or other packages inclusion)

  

 Balcony (view from balcony). We stayed at the 7th floor, not sure of which wing we are at but facing SM Mall of Asia and a glimpse of Manila Bay from the right.

 Bed. We are supposed to have a King size bed, but due to unavailability we got

2 single beds joined together. The bed and pillows are too fluffy for me.

You could call in to change your pillows but I did not bother to request anyway.

  Toilet/Restroom/Shower/Toiletries. No bidet. No bath tub. Shower rain type and hand shower. Enough supply of  (bath, face, hand) Towels + 2 bath robes + 2 slippers.  (Les Notes de Lanvin products) 2 hand soaps, 1 lotion, 1 shampoo, 1 conditioner, 1 body wash. Shower caps, sewing kit, buds, cotton pads.(We only got 1set of toothbrush and toothpaste? Seriously for a couple? LOLs) plus 2 complimentary bottled water.

 Mini Bar/Refrigerator. Chips, Liqour, Sodas, Chocolates, etc available but has a price tag on it. Complimentary tea and coffee available.

Outdoor view. The swimming pool is inviting. Nice landscape especially the view of Manila Bay.

Breakfast Buffet. They have a lot to offer. American, Chinese, French, Japanese, Filipino, Indian, I can't remember what else I'm missing. There's a separate room for cheese and cold cuts. It was great. Everything is a must try. Why not when it's free + it's a buffet c'mon!

The location is pretty good since it is a few kilometers away from the busy streets, main roads or highways. The swimming pool, golf and sunset bar has the perfect view of Manila Bay. This hotel offers an excellent service and accommodating staff but it's the room that is lacking. I think it's quiet small for the price. Overall it was a good experience.

What to love?
