Manila's Paradise Found: Airport Condo Suite w/ Palm Tree Views!
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because we're diving headfirst into the concrete jungle, Manila style, and I'm here to spill the tea on Manila's Paradise Found: Airport Condo Suite w/ Palm Tree Views! Let's be real, finding a decent place near the airport in Manila? It's a quest, a trial, a… well, you get the idea. But this place? This place intrigued me. So, here’s my unfiltered, slightly manic, and totally honest review.
First Impressions & Location, Location, Location (and the Airport Shuffle)
Okay, so the name is ambitious, "Paradise Found?" Manila is a chaotic, glorious, and sometimes overwhelming city. But "Palm Tree Views" is a definite yes. Walking into the lobby, the first thing that hit me was… the air conditioning! Sweet, sweet relief. Manila heat is no joke. And the proximity to the airport? Absolutely clutch. After a long flight, the thought of a short transfer instead of navigating Manila traffic for hours? Priceless. Airport transfer is a HUGE win here, FYI.
Accessibility: Making Sure Everyone Feels Welcome (Almost)
Now, I have to be honest, I didn't personally experience needing full wheelchair access, but I did poke around. They do advertise facilities for disabled guests, but I’d recommend calling ahead and double-checking specific needs. The elevator is a definite plus, though.
The Room: Your Little Manila Sanctuary
My suite? Pretty darn good. Clean, that's a huge one. The rooms are sanitized between stays, which is a relief in these times. The air conditioning worked like a charm (praise be!), and the blackout curtains were a lifesaver after jet lag hit me like a ton of bricks. The palm tree views were… well, they were there! Not quite the Maldives, but hey, it’s Manila. They have Wi-Fi [free] and Internet access – wireless so you can connect your phone and all the other gadgets. The desk and laptop workspace were great for catching up on emails. The complimentary tea and free bottled water? Always appreciated. Extra long bed - YES! Non-smoking rooms are a given, and thank goodness!
The "Things to Do" & "Ways to Relax" (or, How to Survive Manila)
Alright, so, relaxation. This is where it gets interesting. They have a fitness center (I didn't use it, sweat is already abundant in Manila, thanks!), a swimming pool [outdoor], and a pool with a view. I did see the pool. Looked inviting. I was tempted, but my inner sloth won out. They do have a spa/sauna, but I didn't make it there. Massage is available, however. They also have a steamroom. So, if you're into that, you're in luck!
Food, Glorious Food (and the Eternal Search for Coffee)
Okay, let's talk food. There's a restaurant. They offer Asian cuisine in restaurant, International cuisine in restaurant, Western cuisine in restaurant, and Vegetarian restaurant options. Breakfast [buffet] is available, which is always a good start to the day. They have coffee/tea in restaurant and a coffee shop, which is a must for this caffeine addict. There's also a poolside bar, a snack bar, and room service [24-hour]!
I will say, I was craving a decent cup of coffee. It's a minor quibble, but I’m picky about my caffeine. But the Asian breakfast was pretty darn tasty. They also have alternative meal arrangement if you are in any kind of diet.
Cleanliness & Safety: Because Let's Face It, Manila…
This is where they actually shine. Rooms sanitized between stays? Check. Hand sanitizer everywhere? Check. Staff trained in safety protocol? Seemed like it. Daily disinfection in common areas? Yep. Anti-viral cleaning products? Good to hear. Doctor/nurse on call? A comforting thought. First aid kit? Always a good idea. Safe dining setup? They're trying! They also have a Cashless payment service.
Services and Conveniences: The Little Things That Matter
Concierge? Yep. Daily housekeeping? Absolutely. Laundry service, dry cleaning, and ironing service? Excellent. Cash withdrawal? Handy. Luggage storage? Essential. They also have a convenience store which is awesome. They have facilities for disabled guests.
The Quirks & Imperfections (Because Nothing's Perfect, Especially in Manila)
Look, this isn’t the Four Seasons. There were some minor things. The elevator felt a little slow at times. And the view from my specific room wasn’t completely breathtaking (more like… "pleasant"). But honestly? For the price, the location, and the general level of comfort, I was happy.
The Verdict: Should You Book It?
Yes! If you need a comfortable, convenient place near the airport, this is a solid choice. It's clean, the staff is friendly, and the amenities are decent. It's perfect for a layover, a quick business trip, or even a short stay to explore Manila (with the caveat that you’re prepared for the glorious chaos).
The "Emotional Reaction" (Because I'm a Mess)
Honestly? I was relieved. Manila can be overwhelming. This place offered a little oasis of calm. I could actually relax, and that's worth its weight in gold. I felt safe, which is a big deal. And the convenience factor? Saved me a ton of stress.

Okay, buckle up buttercups, because this ain't your grandma's meticulously planned itinerary. This is… well, it's my attempt at taming the chaos that is a trip to Manila. We're talking Airport Condo Suite Unit 2 at Two Palm Tree Villas, and let's be honest, the "villas" part is probably stretching it a bit. But hey, it's a roof over my head, right? And hopefully, with a working air conditioner. God, I hate humidity.
The Disasterpiece of a Manila Itinerary (aka My Attempt to Not Completely Lose My Mind)
Day 1: Arrival and the Quest for a Decent Coffee (aka "Where Did My Luggage Go?!")
- 7:00 AM (ish) - Arrival at NAIA Terminal 3: Okay, so the flight was delayed. Shocker. Already feeling the jet lag gnawing at my brain. The air smells like… well, a city. A humid, slightly polluted city. And the immigration line? Dear Lord, it was a snake. I swear, I aged a decade just standing there.
- 7:45 AM - Lost Luggage Tango: Okay, so my checked bag? MIA. Vanished. Poof. Gone. Cue the internal panic attack. Luckily, I had my carry-on with the essentials: passport, phone, emergency chocolate (crucial). Filed a report, which felt like shouting into a void. Airport staff seemed… unfazed. This is Manila. Things happen, right?
- 8:30 AM - Taxi Terror (and the First Glimpse of Manila's Soul): Found a taxi. Negotiated the price (always negotiate!). The driver was a blur of energy, weaving through traffic like a caffeinated hummingbird. I swear, he used the horn more than the brakes. This is where the real Manila experience started, the traffic the chaos, the noise. I was equal parts terrified and exhilarated.
- 9:30 AM - Check-in at the Airport Condo Suite Unit 2: Finally! Home sweet… temporary home. The place is… functional. Clean-ish. The "villa" part? Still questionable. But the AC works! Praise the heavens! The view? Uh… a parking lot. But hey, air conditioning!
- 10:00 AM - The Coffee Crisis: Okay, this is an emergency. I NEED COFFEE. Like, a real coffee. Not the instant stuff. Started the quest for a decent cafe. Google Maps led me to… a McDonald's. Seriously? Fine. Coffee and a desperate plea to the universe for my luggage to reappear.
- 11:00 AM - Coffee, Chocolate, and a Quiet Moment (sort of): Found a Starbucks, thank god. Sipping my caffeine, and eating chocolate. Re-evaluating my life choices. Maybe I should have just stayed home.
- 12:00 PM - Lunch and the "Who Needs a Nap Anyway?" Effect: Lunch at a local restaurant. Adobo! It was amazing. Spicy, savory. Perfect. Almost forgot I was jet-lagged. And then… BAM! It hit me. The fatigue of the flight, the lost luggage, the traffic. A nap was needed.
- 1:00 PM - 4:00 PM - Naptime: Passed out. Woke up feeling slightly worse. But the world still exists. So I'm not complaining.
- 5:00 PM - Dinner: Went out for dinner. Ate something delicious. Ate too much.
- 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM - Attempting to watch a movie: Fell asleep.
Day 2: Exploring Intramuros and the Battle with the Humidity (aka "Sweat, Sweat, and More Sweat")
- 7:00 AM - Wake up: Woke up feeling slightly better. The sun is up!
- 8:00 AM - Breakfast: Pancakes and coffee.
- 9:00 AM - The Intramuros Adventure Begins: Took a Grab (thank God for Grab!) to Intramuros, the historic walled city. The heat hit me like a brick wall. I was sweating before I even got out of the car.
- 9:30 AM - Fort Santiago: Walked around Fort Santiago. Soaked in the history. Felt a weird mix of awe and melancholy. The place felt like a ghost of the past.
- 11:00 AM - San Agustin Church: Visited San Agustin Church. Absolutely stunning. The architecture was unbelievable. The whole place was beautiful.
- 12:00 PM - Lunch: Ate lunch at a local restaurant.
- 1:00 PM - The Walking Tour of Intramuros: Walking around. The heat was intense, and the humidity was a beast. I felt like I was perpetually damp.
- 2:00 PM - Kalesa Ride of Dreams (and Doubt): Took a kalesa ride (horse-drawn carriage). Romantic, right? Well, until the horse started… you know… doing its business. Let's just say it wasn't the most fragrant experience.
- 3:00 PM - Shopping: Went shopping. Got some gifts.
- 4:00 PM - Back to the Condo: Back to the condo. Took a shower. The water pressure was a little weak. But it was refreshing.
- 5:00 PM - The Search for Dinner: Found a local restaurant. Ate dinner. Ate too much.
- 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM - Attempting to relax: Fell asleep.
Day 3: The Mall, the Massage, and the Unexpected (aka "Embracing the Mess")
- 8:00 AM - Breakfast: Pancakes and coffee.
- 9:00 AM - The Mall Experience: Went to a giant mall. Manila is a mall city. The air conditioning was a godsend. It was a sensory overload - lights, sounds, people everywhere.
- 10:00 AM - Shopping: Went shopping. Got some gifts.
- 11:00 AM - Massage: Went and got a massage. It was amazing.
- 12:00 PM - Lunch: Ate lunch at a local restaurant.
- 1:00 PM - Back to the Condo: Back to the condo.
- 2:00 PM - The Unexpected: Heard a noise. Looked outside. Saw a man. He was climbing the wall.
- 3:00 PM - The Police: Called the police. They came.
- 4:00 PM - The Aftermath: The guy was gone. But the police came. And they said they would keep an eye out.
- 5:00 PM - Dinner: Went out for dinner. Ate something delicious. Ate too much.
- 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM - Attempting to watch a movie: Fell asleep.
Day 4: Departure (and the Hope for a Luggage Miracle) (aka "Goodbye, Manila, You Crazy Place")
- 7:00 AM - Wake Up: Woke up. Packing.
- 8:00 AM - Breakfast: Pancakes and coffee. The last one!
- 9:00 AM - The Airport: Checked out. Took a taxi to the airport.
- 10:00 AM - The Airport: The airport.
- 11:00 AM - The Flight: Boarded the flight.
- 12:00 PM - Goodbye Manila! Goodbye Manila!
Final Thoughts:
Manila. You are… something else. A chaotic, beautiful, frustrating, and ultimately unforgettable experience. I sweated through my clothes, lost my luggage, and nearly had a mental breakdown. But I also ate amazing food, saw incredible sights, and met some genuinely kind people. Would I go back? Absolutely. But next time, I'm bringing extra deodorant, a stronger tolerance for traffic, and a prayer for my luggage to finally arrive. And maybe, just maybe, a villa that actually feels like a villa. Until then, Manila, you win this round. But I'll be back.
