Fairview's BEST Condo? Trees Residences: Unbelievable Views & Amenities!
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because we're about to dive headfirst into the supposed "Fairview's BEST Condo?" Trees Residences: Unbelievable Views & Amenities! And lemme tell you, after spending a week there, my brain is still trying to untangle itself from the sheer… stuff. I'm talking amenities, views that'll make your jaw drop, and enough "luxury" to make a Kardashian blush. But is it REALLY all that? Let's get messy, shall we?
SEO-tastic Title (Because, You Know, Gotta Get Those Clicks): Trees Residences Review: Fairview's Condo Paradise? Views, Amenities, & Honest Truths!
Accessibility: The Ups & Downs (and the Elevator's Sometimes Slow Ride)
Okay, let's rip the band-aid off first: Accessibility. Getting there, well, it's Fairview. Traffic can be a beast, so factor that into your arrival time. Once you're in Trees Residences, the elevator is a godsend. Essential for anyone with mobility issues, and honestly, a lifesaver after a long day of… whatever it is people do in Fairview. The good news? Elevator. The bad news? Sometimes it feels like it's powered by squirrels on tiny treadmills. Patience is a virtue, my friends.
Wheelchair Accessible? I'd say mostly. The common areas seem pretty well-designed with ramps and wide walkways. The rooms I saw were spacious enough, but I'd definitely call ahead and confirm specifics with the hotel, especially if you need a fully ADA-compliant room.
Rooms & Amenities: A Whirlwind of Choices (and Maybe a Bit Too Much)
Alright, let's talk about the stuff. My room? A.M.A.Z.I.N.G. Seriously, the view alone was worth the price of admission. I had a corner unit, so I was practically swimming in panoramic vistas. The window that opens was a crucial detail for a chronic air-conditioner hater like myself.
Available in all rooms: Air conditioning (thank the heavens!), Alarm clock (useful, even though I'm a phone-alarm kinda gal), Bathrobes (hello, luxury!), Bathroom phone (…who still uses these?), Bathtub (perfect for soaking after a long day… of shopping), Blackout curtains (essential for those sleep-in days!), Carpeting, Closet (plenty of space for my extensive wardrobe), Coffee/tea maker (morning saviors!), Complimentary tea, Daily housekeeping (bliss!), Desk (for pretending to work), Extra long bed (finally, a bed my feet don't hang off!), Free bottled water (hydration is key!), Hair dryer, High floor (views!), In-room safe box (for hiding your… well, whatever you need to hide), Interconnecting room(s) available, Internet access – LAN, Internet access – wireless, Ironing facilities, Laptop workspace, Linens, Mini bar (temptation!), Mirror, Non-smoking, On-demand movies, Private bathroom, Reading light, Refrigerator, Safety/security feature, Satellite/cable channels, Scale (the truth hurts!), Seating area, Separate shower/bathtub, Shower, Slippers, Smoke detector, Socket near the bed, Sofa, Soundproofing, Telephone, Toiletries, Towels, Umbrella (rainy days!), Visual alarm, Wake-up service, Wi-Fi [free], Window that opens.
The sheer volume of things available in the room is almost overwhelming. It's like they threw everything at the wall to see what would stick. I mean, a scale? Really? But hey, the bathrobes were fluffy, the Wi-Fi was free (and thankfully, pretty decent), and the blackout curtains saved my sanity.
Internet, Internet, Everywhere Internet! (And Sometimes It Actually Worked)
Speaking of Internet, let's get real. Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! is a huge plus. I even got a decent signal in the public areas. They also offered Internet [LAN] for those who like to live on the edge and have a wired connection. Internet services in general were pretty good.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: A Feast for the Eyes (and Maybe the Stomach)
Okay, this is where things get interesting. Restaurants galore! You've got your Asian cuisine in restaurant, your International cuisine in restaurant, even a Vegetarian restaurant. I tried the Asian breakfast one morning. Let's just say, it wasn't exactly what I'm used to, but hey, variety is the spice of life, right? The Breakfast [buffet] was decent, although I'm not a huge fan of buffets in general, but it was a Breakfast service.
They also had a Bar and a Poolside bar (essential!), a Coffee shop (for my caffeine fix), and a Snack bar (for those late-night munchies). Room service [24-hour] is always a win. And I took advantage of the Bottle of water in the room.
The Pool with a View: My Personal Oasis (and the Reason I Almost Missed My Flight!)
Now, let's talk about the Swimming pool [outdoor]. Oh. My. Goodness. The Pool with view is what dreams are made of. Seriously, the infinity edge just melts into the horizon. I spent a solid afternoon there, lost in the beauty. I even considered missing my flight. That's how good it was.
Ways to Relax: Spa, Sauna, and the Pursuit of Zen (or at Least a Nap)
If you're into pampering, Trees Residences has you covered. They had a Spa, Sauna, Steamroom, and even a Foot bath. I indulged in a Massage. Worth every single penny. I also heard good things about the Body scrub and Body wrap.
Cleanliness and Safety: Keeping It Real (and Sanitized!)
Let's be honest, in these times, cleanliness is everything. Trees Residences seemed to take it seriously. They had Anti-viral cleaning products, Daily disinfection in common areas, Hand sanitizer everywhere, and Rooms sanitized between stays. Sanitized kitchen and tableware items. They even had Professional-grade sanitizing services. I felt safe, which is a huge relief.
Services and Conveniences: The Little Things That Make a Big Difference
From the Concierge (super helpful) to the Daily housekeeping (bliss!), Trees Residences offers a ton of convenient services. They have a Convenience store, Cash withdrawal, Currency exchange, Dry cleaning, Elevator, Facilities for disabled guests, Food delivery, Gift/souvenir shop, Ironing service, Laundry service, Luggage storage, Safety deposit boxes, and Taxi service.
For the Kids: Family-Friendly Fun (But Maybe Not Too Much Fun)
Babysitting service and Kids meal options are available. They're definitely Family/child friendly, but I didn't see a dedicated kids' club or anything like that.
Getting Around: Traffic, Traffic, Glorious Traffic (and Options)
Okay, back to the reality of Fairview. Car park [free of charge] is a huge plus. They also offer Airport transfer and Taxi service.
The Not-So-Perfect Bits (Because Life Isn't Always Instagram-Worthy)
- Service: While generally good, I did have a few minor hiccups with communication, especially during the busy times.
- Noise: Depending on your room's location, you might hear some street noise.
- The "Luxury" Factor: While Trees Residences is undeniably nice, it's not perfectly luxurious.
Final Verdict: Is Trees Residences Worth It? (And Would I Go Back?)
Absolutely! Despite a few minor imperfections, Trees Residences is a fantastic option in Fairview. The views alone are worth the trip. The amenities are plentiful, and the staff is generally friendly and helpful. I felt safe and comfortable, and I would definitely go back. Just maybe I'll take the stairs this time, and book a massage first thing.
And now, for the grand finale…

Okay, buckle up, buttercup. This ain't your average, sterile travel itinerary. This is a messy, emotional, and probably slightly unhinged plan for a "staycation" at Trees Residences in Fairview, Manila. Consider yourself warned.
The "Escape the Chaos (But Embrace the Chaos)" Trees Residences Itinerary: Manila Edition
Day 1: Arrival, Anticipation, and the Almighty Aircon
- 1:00 PM - Arrival & Apartment Assessment: Okay, so the Grab car ride from… well, wherever I was before… was a battle against Manila traffic. Seriously, is there a secret society dedicated to making EDSA a parking lot? Got to Trees Residences, and the lobby is… not the sleek, minimalist dream I'd imagined from the pictures. More like "functional, with a hint of ambition." But the aircon! Praise the gods of electricity! Immediately crank that baby up to Arctic blast. First order of business: Inspect the apartment for strategic napping zones. (That's the real priority, people.)
- 1:30 PM - The Grocery Run of Doom: The "nearby" grocery store is actually a ten-minute walk. Ten minutes in Manila heat? That's like running a marathon. Armed with a reusable bag (because, eco-warrior!), I embark on a quest for snacks, drinks, and the holy grail: instant coffee. Pro tip: Always overestimate your coffee needs. You'll thank me later. The checkout line is a chaotic ballet of crying babies, overflowing baskets, and the faint scent of desperation. I emerge victorious, clutching my haul like a prepper surviving the apocalypse.
- 2:30 PM - Apartment Reconnaissance and the Bed's Siren Call: Unpack groceries (mostly snacks). Actually look at the apartment. It's… perfectly adequate. The view from the balcony is… meh. (Buildings. More buildings. A sliver of sky.) But the bed… oh, the bed. It's calling to me. The call is getting louder.
- 3:00 PM - The Great Nap of Solace: Nap time. No apologies. No explanations. Just… bliss.
- 5:00 PM - Poolside Panic (and Peanut Butter): Okay, time to be a "functioning human." Head to the pool. It's… crowded. Like, "fish in a barrel" crowded. There's a gaggle of kids splashing, a couple of teenagers glued to their phones, and a lone, sunburnt man looking intensely at a newspaper. I retreat. (Social anxiety, thy name is Manila pool.) Back to the apartment for peanut butter and crackers. Emotional eating is a perfectly valid travel strategy.
- 7:00 PM - Dinner and (Attempted) Relaxation: Order takeout. (Too lazy to cook. Judge me.) Maybe some sushi? Maybe pizza? The existential dread of choice descends. Settle on pizza, because pizza is always the answer. Watch a terrible movie on Netflix. Pretend to relax. Fail.
- 9:00 PM - The Bed Beckons (Again): Bed. Sleep. Repeat.
Day 2: Embracing the Tourist (Sort Of)
- 8:00 AM - Wake Up, Slightly Disoriented: The aircon has done its job, and I feel like a popsicle. Coffee is essential. Maybe two cups.
- 9:00 AM - The "Local" Experience (aka, the Mall): Alright, let's be a tourist. But, let's be honest, a tourist in Manila means… the mall. SM Fairview is calling. It's a labyrinth of shops, food stalls, and the constant hum of humanity. The goal: find a decent coffee shop (preferably one with good Wi-Fi). Side note: I swear I saw a woman wearing a full-on wedding dress in the mall. Manila, you never disappoint.
- 11:00 AM - Coffee, Contemplation, and People-Watching: Found a coffee shop. Success! Fueling up with caffeine and people-watching. Observe the glorious chaos of the mall. Listen to snippets of conversations. Marvel at the sheer variety of humanity. This is living, right?
- 1:00 PM - The Lunchtime Debacle: The food court. The sheer volume of options! The indecision! The potential for stomach upset! Eventually, I settle on… something. (I honestly can't remember what.) The only thing I remember is the overwhelming feeling of being slightly lost in a sea of people.
- 2:00 PM - Back to the Apartment, to Recover: The mall has defeated me. Back to the aircon, the bed, and the blissful solitude of my temporary home.
- 4:00 PM - Attempted Productivity (Failed): Okay, I should probably do something productive. Maybe answer some emails? Nope. The siren call of the bed is too strong. Instead, I stare at the ceiling. Contemplate the meaning of life. Fall asleep.
- 6:00 PM - Sunset (If You Can See It): Try to watch the sunset from the balcony. If the smog allows. (Spoiler: it probably won't).
- 7:00 PM - Dinner and Existential Dread (Again): Order more takeout. (This time, maybe try the local kare-kare? Or just stick with pizza, because, again, pizza.) Question all my life choices while watching television.
- 9:00 PM - Bed, Sleep, and the Sweet Embrace of Tomorrow: Repeat the cycle.
Day 3: Departure and the Lingering Dust of Manila
- 9:00 AM - Last Coffee, Last Look: One final cup of coffee. A last glance at the view (still just buildings). A bittersweet feeling. Did I even leave the apartment?
- 10:00 AM - Pack (or, Attempt to Pack): Pack my bag. (Mostly snacks and dirty clothes.)
- 11:00 AM - Checkout, and the Reality of Leaving: The checkout process. A quick goodbye to the aircon. Another battle with Manila traffic.
- 12:00 PM - The Post-Staycation Blues: Back to reality. Back to the real world. And already, I miss the aircon. The bed. The pizza. The chaos. The weirdness of it all.
- 12:00 PM - Epilogue and Final Thoughts: The Trees Residences staycation was far from perfect, a bit chaotic, and definitely messy. But that's the beauty of it, right? It was real. It was Manila. And it was my experience. Now, where's the next adventure? (And the nearest aircon?)
Possible Imperfections and Rambles:
- The "Lost in Translation" Moment: I'm terrible at Tagalog. Expect awkward interactions and unintentional miscommunications.
- The "Food Adventures" (or Disasters): Expect questionable food choices and probably a stomach ache.
- The "Overthinking" Sessions: Prepare for deep dives into existential questions while staring at the ceiling.
- The "Traffic Trauma": Manila traffic will be mentioned. A lot.
- The "Social Anxiety Struggles": Public spaces will be avoided. Or, if not, then approached with extreme caution.
- The "Bed is Life" Obsession: The bed will be the star of the show.
- The "Impulse Buy" Incident: Expect to come home with some random, unnecessary item.
- The "Caffeine Dependency" Confession: Coffee is essential for survival. Don't judge.
- The "Emotional Rollercoaster": There will be moments of joy, frustration, boredom, and everything in between.
- The "Unfiltered Thoughts": The whole point.
So, is Trees Residences *really* the best condo in Fairview? Let's be honest...
Those "Unbelievable Views" they brag about – are they *actually* unbelievable? Or just… okay?
Let's talk about the amenities. Specifically, the pool. Is it always crowded? Is it clean? Is it… worth it?
What about the gym? Is it actually a decent gym? Or just a room with a few treadmills and a sad-looking weight rack?
Tell me about the noise levels. Is it a peaceful sanctuary, or a constant symphony of car horns and construction?
What about the management? Are they responsive? Do they actually *care*?
The balcony! Is it big enough to… you know… *live* on? Or just for a quick breath of air?
Okay, so would you recommend Trees Residences? Be honest!
