I'll start with a summary: It was an awesome stay!
Every penny you pay for this hotel is worth it.
We checked in last Jan 9 using my Accor card privileges.
Although we arrived earlier, that didn't pose any problem.
The receptionist was all smiles and very accommodating.
Our room was upgraded and we were given an early check in.
Stayed at the 11th Floor.
Room is big with the view of Manila Bay and the famous gorgeous Manila sunset.
We had the most comfortable king-sized bed and the softest linen and pillows.
I love the bathroom and the branded toiletries gave the added plus factor.
Thick and almost brand new towels and bathrobes.
Complete amenities and toiletries.
They also gave us complimentary mango juice, apple, cake and desserts.
Love the pool area but water was too cold at that time.
They have hammocks, cabanas and resting areas are spread across so you can relax.
I love the part facing Manila bay where you can stare across the horizon and do nothing but relax.
Buffet breakfast at Spiral is one of the best in the country.
Extensive and varied spread. Fiesta of the high-end kind.
Fresh juice, overflowing coffee and there's even wine at that time.
Parking is many but since there are also a lot guests, it's limited on a first come, first served basis but manageable.
Wifi is strong both inside the room and outside, even at the pool area and at the spiral restaurant.
Checking out was really a breeze.
Receptionists especially Emma and the usherettes, staff and crew are courteous, friendly and attentive.
Overall, it's worth every penny.
And I will definitely go back and even stay forever here if given the chance=)
