MOMMY CAI CHECKS OUT: MANILA HOTEL (A REVIEW)

If there's one thing I love most about Manila Hotel is that the Filipino hospitality and warm welcome can be easily felt and seen upon entering their doors.










A welcome fruit basket for their guests...

Upon our arrival in Manila Hotel last Dec. 30, 2011, we were welcomed immediately by a valet service which they surprisingly offer for free. 

The room was lovely...

King Size bed

I love how they spoil their guests with lots of pillows. Most hotels would only equip you with a maximum of four. Pillow fights can be really fun in this room. :D





The room was spacious, comfortable and the amenities were impressive.

Ipod Dock


Waterproof LCD TV in the bathroom


The bathroom was also spacious. They have a separate walk-in for the shower and bathtub. Just like Sofitel, they also use L'Occitane for their toiletries, which is a favorite brand of mine. ;)




I love how comfortable the place is. Since you can't keep my kids off their laptops and iPods, the free wifi connection was a plus factor for our 3-day stay.

They don't have a pool as huge as Sofitel but this didn't hinder us to try it out. Too bad, the water's icy cold.  :(


It literally took minutes before they dived in. It was really that cold!!!!


Nonetheless, this was truly one of the best stays we ever had as a family and we truly can't wait til we go back to Manila hotel.
