"I meant to write this review two months ago, but I’ve been traveling and never got the chance. Despite the time that has passed, the beautiful memories of my stay at Ramada Encore Makati are still very much fresh in my mind. I stayed in room 811, on the top floor, with a beautiful view of the city. The room was very spacious, in mint condition, and the bed was incredibly comfortable — so much so that I actually ended up sleeping in longer than I should have (and I’m definitely not someone who usually sleeps in!). Breakfast was very good with a nice selection of local Filipino dishes. I particularly enjoyed the chicken and rice, and also the round little (cant recall how it is called) local Filipino dessert, which made for a delicious start to the day. The gym is small but functional, and I really enjoyed making use of the different equipment available. One of the most amazing and unexpected highlights of my stay was discovering the Korean restaurant on the top floor, set on a terrace with a breathtaking 360-degree view of the city! What a wonderful surprise! As for the location, the street where the hotel is situated is a typical Manila street, nothing particularly remarkable, but I felt safe walking around. There is a huge supermarket just a three-minute walk away in one direction, and in the opposite direction, less than a ten-minute walk away, there is the beautiful Aria mall, with plenty of shops and eateries. Defintely recommend a walk to Aria mall. Besides local and Asian eateries, in case you'd like to try western food, you can also find an excellent Italian restaurant there All the major highlights of Makati, including Ayala Center, Greenbelt, and Glorietta, are just two or three miles away, and Bonifacio High Street is not far either. I used Grab (the Asian equivalent of Uber) to get to and from the airport and to explore other parts of the city. It was very convenient and surprisingly inexpensive. Last but certainly not least, the hotel staff. Everyone at the reception was welcoming, and professional. I would also like to express my appreciation and gratitude to the manager, who went above and beyond to make my stay even more pleasant. Thank you so very much!. Salamat! One day, I will return to Manila, and when I do, this is definitely where I will stay again!"
