We had a wonderful stay at this hotel! Everything was clean, well-maintained, and welcoming from the moment we arrived. The breakfast was delicious with a good variety of options, and the staff were incredibly friendly and attentive throughout our stay. The standout feature was the stunning pool with an amazing view—perfect for relaxing and enjoying the surroundings. The location was also ideal, making it easy to explore the area. Highly recommend this hotel for anyone looking for a comfortable and enjoyable getaway!

When we arrived the girl at the counter told us there was an issue with water pressure in some of the rooms. She didn’t know which rooms which we thought was strange. We were tired from our travels so we told her we would take the room anyway. When we got to the room the water pressure and temperature was fine. Other guests were taking refunds and changing hotels because they were being given the same information. It was around 5PM and I was glad that we didn’t go through the hassle of finding another hotel.

Comfortable and spacious room. Beautiful shower. Breakfast buffet had plenty of options. The pool got a bit noisy with tourists constantly snapping instagram photos over the infinity pool but good location overall and I would stay again.

Good location

The location is great. It's walking distance about 15-20mins to the famous weekend Gaya Street market, Filipino market, Central market etc. Half the way is covered walkway because Marriott Hotel entrance is at one end and the building is big; so it takes about 5-10mins to walk to the end of the building. Gym looks great although we didn't used it. The breakfast buffet was good enough.

The hotel offered satisfactory service with notably quick in-room dining. The sea view and location were impressive, ideal for those seeking delicious food and family time. The quality of food and service was decent, and the room was fine for those not expecting luxury standards. (However, the shower head in the room needed repairs due to low water flow.) A special shout-out to Nigel at the front desk who was a true superstar! His patience and professionalism during our check-in were outstanding, landing us an amazing room with a breathtaking sea view and balcony! I also want to express my gratitude for all the excellent dining suggestions he provided us. Thank you Nigel!
