This Is How They Treated Me In A $180 Luxury Hotel In Manila, Philippines 🇵🇭

Join me to explore one of the fanciest and most luxurious hotel experiences in the capital city - Manila. I have decided to treat myself with some luxury and also share my experiences with you. What do you think about this property?
The Philippines reached the top of my list of most favorite countries after visiting 40 countries. Filipino people are among the most accommodating, welcoming, and kindest nations I have ever met. Even though Filipino hospitality & kindness is not new to me, I have met many expats in Dubai and knew what to expect from the country's people. 🙏🏽
So happy to be here and spending a few weeks around the islands to make the best out of my long-processed visa and share my experiences with you.
Welcome to the Philippines! 🏝
About Manila: Manila, the capital of the Philippines, is a bustling and vibrant metropolis located on the western side of Luzon, the largest island in the archipelago. With a history dating back centuries, Manila has evolved into a dynamic city that blends the old with the new, offering diverse experiences for locals and visitors alike.

    If you retire in the Philippines, make sure you have a back plan just in case you decided to move back to Canada. In the Philippines you need to learn how to survive like living like an ordinary Filipino to save a lot of money or else if you retire here and spent money on expensive lifestyle, it will probably cost you big money too.

    There are so many great hotels option in Manila & even in Makati. Hyatt Hotel & Manila Hotel so far are my favorite when it comes to the details of architecture. In Diamond hotel , mostly they had live band while your eating in a buffet area that costly 1000 phil peso. But it has massive options of food and its unlimited within certain hours. But ensure no left over food or excess food on the table because it has an extra charge. Good luck and more fun. ❤️❤️❤️
