I booked Super Deluxe Queen Room or something, it’s a standard sized Queen bedroom with ensuite. Clean and new looking. No complaints. Pretty good view as well. The minibar was super cheap, which is a first for this traveller. Big enough for some extras too. The pool area was a nice place to hang out, with pool loungers and seperate smoking area. The poolside service for drinks etc was super slow so we didn’t order much. Swimming was but more challenging, the water was basically all chlorine and your eyes started burning the first time you stuck your head under the water. Wifi was good most of the time, but it and the TV went out on our last night when I was trying to rest up for my long flight the nest day. The hotel staff were in no rush to fix it. Either an effective way of ensuring your guests don’t hang out in their room prior to check in, or just too hard. The breakfast buffet was pleasant, I mostly had eggs, bacon, fruit, juice, and coffee. The omlette chef knew his stuff and the staff was discrete and polite. Nice place to be. Lots of variety for the hungrier among you, I had less and less each day after over eating the first time. The hotel restaurant was a saviour after a couple of heavy tourist days, but not really a restaurant, more a small bar with a long list of options. Service was slow and they seemed to have a vague idea of restaurant etiquette. Everything arrived at once, except the salad, which was large for one person, but small for more. They appeared to want to silver service it between us, and a bit offended when I ate it myself from the bowl. Once again, it wasn’t that big. Various attractive booths had the head rests dropped to make sitting there unappealing, I had fun not lifting them up but sliding in with them still down. The food, when it came was very nice for me, but my girlfriend did not like any of her dishes and I stuck to the things that worked for me the first time. The streets outside had a lot of eating options within walking distance and Grab delivers. The front counter staff helped me out of a couple of tricky situations, and were very polite to a confused, tired, first time in the Phillipines traveller. I am in pain all the time and partially disabled, the hotel was very easy to get around once you are inside. As is your access to taxis etc outside. Like everywhere in Manila the streets can be somewhat more treacherous. All in all a pleasant stay, not great, but you could do a lot worse.
