Makati Hotels with Pools

We only had two days in Manila for the grand finale of our honeymoon before heading back to China. The vibe? Total luxury. We crashed at Discovery Primea, right in the heart of Makati. Our room was spacious, super comfy, and the 24/7 room service was basically a honeymoon dream come true 😂. Just outside the hotel, you're spoiled for choice: a lush park for morning strolls, tons of restaurants, and a massive shopping mall (Glorietta Mall, Ayala Center, Makati—open daily from 10AM to 9PM). We hit up the supermarket inside for a Filipino snacks haul, so our suitcase was loaded with local goodies for the trip home. Why we liked it: - Perfect central location—steps from cafes, shops, and all the action - Rooms are big and super comfy, with ultra-soft beds - Everything is spotless! Clean and fresh vibes everywhere - Loads of restaurants around Discovery Primea—just stroll and pick whatever looks tempting - Stock up on Filipino snacks at Glorietta Mall for the perfect souvenir 📌 Tips - Grab rides are easy and safe—plus, you can pay with Alipay - Don’t stress over the service in some spots, just chase the good food! - Discovery Primea is super convenient for both exploring Makati and chilling out - Double check your bill for extra charges at hotels or restaurants, just in case

Stayed for one night and genuinely understood why people love The Peninsula. The room felt incredibly clean and dry — no humid feeling at all. The bed and sheets were extremely comfortable, and even something as simple as taking a bath felt relaxing here. After weeks of stress and moving around, this stay honestly gave me a rare sense of rest. The atmosphere throughout the hotel was elegant and calm, and everything felt thoughtfully maintained. Definitely one of the most comfortable hotel experiences I’ve had in Manila.

The room was very clean and spacious, which I was very happy with. The pool was also large and the water temperature was pleasant, not cold. I would definitely like to stay here again.

For a 5 star hotel, the service is very annoying. They would call me randomly to ask for feedback a few hours after I checked in. They would knock on my door early in the morning while I'm still sleeping to do a ”room check”... On the day of my check out, I had a knock on the door a bit past 9am, I ignored it as I was still in bed but they kept ringing the bell. I finally got up and the lady asked ”is there anything I can help with?”. Yes leave me alone. I went back to bed to rest and then got a phone call soon after as a reminder that check out is at 12pm. It's not even 10am yet and your staff already interrupted my sleep twice. Trying to get the room clean involves multiple phone calls. Once I left it to see how long it would take but at 6pm, I had to call since they never came during the day. Another time they cleaned, the cleaners said they ran out of towels so there would be someone who would deliver soon. I forgot about it until we went to have a shower and then it took almost an hour for the towels to arrive so we had to wait to use the bathroom as they took away the dirty towels so we didn't have anything to dry ourselves. Don't order room service. The food is very bad. I actually gagged on a drink they prepared. The TV is very old, they are still using cable technology. WiFi is patchy. Trying to get up and down the lift is a nightmare if you come at the wrong time as the line gets backed up all the way out into the street. My girlfriend was stopped by over eager security staff when she was trying to leave to buy some snacks as the room service meals were so bad even tho she had a room key and they would not let her up to the lobby on the 6th floor without me. Instead, I had to go down and pick her up from the ground floor where she was sitting in the corner like she was in trouble.

I am an avid Dusit Thani guest however there is always a problem with housekeeping but they do respond when prompted. But that should actually not be the case that we should always ask. Service at breakfast is delightful and excellent. We love that!

Pet policy is inconsistent. Upon arrival we were asked for a copy of the vaxx card of our pet. This information must be clearly stated on the hotel policies to avoid delay of check in. Room was clean and big. Very affordable and great location. Only cons: thin walls (you can hear all the people passing by especially when your room is close tot he swimming pool area) causing lack of sleep. It was a great stay overall. Chewie-approved!

Great location next to the Makati nightlife. Very walkable. Decent gym. Enough to get a decent workout. Decent rooftop for some food and drinks.

The deposit was 2,000 pesos. Room 707 was quite spacious. It was exceptionally clean, including the bathroom. The doorman was very紳士 and wonderful.

Great service, the room was clean and responsive when we needed help. Great location as well. The view from the pool was beautiful as wel

The location is very strategic for mall goers and night out. One concern though is the location tagged in the grab is not accurate. Doon napunta sa pldt. Also, you have to call the doorman before leaving the room since the up/down button of the lift is disabled.
