Manila's BEST Netflix & Chill Getaway: WiFi, Hot Shower, & Awesome Vibes!
Manila's BEST Netflix & Chill Getaway: WiFi, Hot Shower, & Awesome Vibes! - A Brutally Honest Review
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because I'm about to lay down the TRUTH about Manila's "BEST Netflix & Chill Getaway: WiFi, Hot Shower, & Awesome Vibes!" Let's be real, finding a good hotel in Manila is like finding a decent parking spot during rush hour – a total gamble. But this place? This place actually tries. And for the most part, it actually succeeds.
First Impressions & Accessibility (aka, Can I Actually Find This Place?):
So, the place is… ahem… accessible. Okay, that's a start! They’re not in some hidden-away alley; it's relatively straightforward (or at least, Google Maps understood, which is a win in Manila!). I wasn't specifically looking for wheelchair accessibility, but I noticed elevators and the overall layout seemed pretty navigable. They definitely cater to the fact that getting around Manila can be a chaotic mess – huge thumbs up!
WiFi, Internet, & Keeping Connected (Because, Duh!):
This is where we get to the heart of the matter. Netflix & Chill, right? The FREE WI-FI IN ALL ROOMS! is not just a claim– it’s a promise they actually keep. And thank GOD. I’ve stayed in so many hotels with "free" Wi-Fi that struggles to load a GIF of a cat. This, thankfully, was actually good. Seriously, I streamed three movies, answered tons of emails and didn’t throw my laptop out the window. They also seem to have Internet [LAN] connections, which, if you're a workaholic, is a good thing.
The "Awesome Vibes" & Things to Do (or Not Do):
Alright, so, "Awesome Vibes" is a broad statement, but let's break it down. The hotel has a swimming pool [outdoor], and the pool with view? Okay, it’s a view of… other buildings, which is Manila for you. Still, a pool is a pool, and it was clean and inviting. They have a fitness center (I looked inside, but my gym membership card is still safely tucked away at home), and a spa/sauna, which I totally didn’t use because I was too busy chilling with Netflix. They advertise a spa, but let's be real, who’s got time for a body scrub when there’s season two of The Crown to binge?
Here’s the problem: the “awesome vibes” part is largely created by you. You're here to unwind, right? This place provides the basics. You bring the chill.
Food, Glorious Food (and Drink!):
Okay, this is where things get interesting. They have restaurants, a coffee shop, and a bar, plus room service [24-hour]. I was intrigued and took the plunge ordering the Asian cuisine in restaurant, and it wasn’t half bad. More importantly, room service delivered! The bottle of water was actually free and cold, which is a small victory when you’re battling Manila humidity. And the happy hour? Let’s just say I tested its upper limits with my favorite cocktail.
My Big, Fat, Glorious Netflix & Chill Experience:
Right, so here's the juicy bit. I arrived utterly fried. The traffic! The heat! The existential dread that comes from realizing I’m perpetually behind on every life task. The air conditioning? Absolutely blasting and it worked! The blackout curtains were my salvation. The bed was comfy (though the pillows were a little… fluffy!), and the bathroom was clean (always a win!). And then… Netflix. Oh, sweet, sweet Netflix.
I settled in. Ordered some snacks through room service. Got a hot shower (and bless them, the water pressure was amazing!). The complimentary tea was a nice touch. The Wi-Fi was humming. I started The Queen’s Gambit. BAM! Pure bliss. No phone calls, no deadlines, no responsibilities. Just me, Anya Taylor-Joy, and a whole lot of popcorn. I was so absorbed I didn't notice the maid actually cleaning the room…it was seamless!
The (Somewhat) Messy Details:
- Cleanliness and Safety: They clearly make an effort. Hand sanitizer everywhere, and they seem serious about daily disinfection in common areas. Rooms sanitized between stays. They have anti-viral cleaning products too. You know, pandemic times.
- Dining, Drinking, and Snacking (again!): The breakfast [buffet] looked fine, but I skipped it because…Netflix. I will say, I found the coffee/tea in restaurant to be surprisingly good.
- Rooms and Amenities: The air conditioning worked perfectly. The desk was big enough to spread out (if you're into that sort of thing). And thankfully, the soundproofing was decent, so I didn’t have to listen to my neighbor’s karaoke session.
- Services and Conveniences: The concierge was friendly, though I didn’t really need them. They offer cash withdrawal, which is useful. Invoice provided (for the expense report!)
The Not-So-Awesome Bits (because, let’s be real):
- The "view" from my window was a bit…underwhelming. Let's just say it wasn't postcard material.
- The gym… well, I didn’t use it. And based on the equipment, I’m not sure I would have.
- While they say there's a doctor/nurse on call, I didn’t need it, and I hope you don’t either.
In Conclusion: The Vibe Check
This isn’t the Four Seasons, folks. But it’s a damn good place to hide away from the chaos of Manila, recharge your batteries, and binge-watch something wonderful. It delivers on its promise – good WiFi, a hot shower, and a chance to actually relax. If you're looking for a no-frills, chill-out spot, this is it.
MY VERDICT: 8/10 - Would definitely Netflix & Chill again!

Okay, buckle up buttercups, because this isn't your grandma's meticulously planned itinerary. This is… my itinerary. And let's just say I’m not exactly known for my organizational skills. Plus, there’s the small matter of me wanting to experience MACK'S AWESOME PLACE+SHOWERHEATER+NETFLIX+WIFI 715 Manila Philippines. (Seriously, what a name! Sounds like a Craigslist ad).
Here we go. This is going to be a rollercoaster.
Day 1: Arrival and…Existential Dread?
- Morning (ish - let's be real, probably closer to noon): Arrive at Manila Airport (NAIA). I'm perpetually convinced I'll be stranded at the airport, so I'll be hyper-vigilant about my passport, my bag, and my overall sanity. I fully expect to be accosted by aggressive taxi drivers vying for my precious pesos. I'll channel my inner ninja and try to negotiate a fair price. Wish me luck, I'll need it.
- Lunch (maybe): Okay, so I'm thinking about eating. But the thought of potentially bad airport food makes me queasy. Maybe those instant noodles I packed will come in handy. Or maybe I'll just ride the hunger wave. A philosophical question.
- Afternoon: The Big Move! Transport to MACK'S AWESOME PLACE+SHOWERHEATER+NETFLIX+WIFI 715 Manila Philippines. I’m picturing a cramped, beat-up jeepney, and will be grateful if I can hold on. I'll try to memorize the route, but honestly, I'm terrible with directions. Cue the mental breakdowns.
- Arrival and…Revelation?! Upon arrival at MACK'S AWESOME PLACE. The name is still bugging me. It's so… declarative. Do they KNOW how "awesome" it is? Or is it aspirational? Regardless, the showerheater is what I'm MOST excited about. My first hot shower after traveling (a luxury I rarely get!) will be a spiritual experience. Then… Netflix! Sweet, sweet, Netflix. I’m already mentally scrolling through my watchlist.
- Evening: Unpack (eventually). Stumble onto Netflix, probably spend an hour just picking what to watch. Probably order some food delivery – because being out has to be optional. The first night always feels a bit…lonely. Especially when you're in a new place. I'll probably call someone, just to connect with the world. That will probably devolve into a stream of random travel anxieties and gripes.
Day 2: Dive (Almost) Right In
- Morning: Wake up in the AWESOME PLACE! Possibly hungover – I'll blame jet lag. Coffee is mandatory. (Hoping the coffee is strong and the WIFI is reliable.) Assess my surroundings for potential dangers, like questionable electrical outlets or ominous-looking roaches.
- Mid-morning (or, you know, whenever I get out of bed): I have vague plans to go to the National Museum. A cultural experience! (Or a torturous slog through dusty exhibits - the risk is part of the fun, right?) But it's hot, and the idea of walking around is horrifying. I might just sit and watch Netflix all day instead, with the showerheater for support.
- Afternoon: FINE. I'll do the museum. I'll get some decent pictures so I can pretend I'm cultured on the internet. I anticipate sweating buckets and feeling overwhelmingly out of my depth. I'll try to understand something, anything. Maybe focus on one exhibit and really see it. Or maybe just sneak into the air-conditioned gift shop.
- Evening: Dinner. (What food delivery options are here, anyway?). A nice, chilled beer to relax after a day of culture, or (more likely) a day of avoiding culture. Decide what I'm going to do with the rest of my life, or just keep watching Netflix.
Day 3: The (Almost Definitely Flawed) Day of Exploration
- Morning: Okay, today I'm going to get out there! I'll attempt to navigate the public transport. I might fail terribly. I fully expect to get lost. But the potential for a good story is worth the risk.
- Mid-morning: One destination: the Intramuros district. It's the "walled city" - sounds romantic, right? (It probably isn't).
- I envision cobblestone streets, historic architecture…and hordes of tourists. I'll try to find a quiet spot, maybe sit under a tree and just…be. Or take pictures of everything. Or both.
- Intramuros Anecdote: I’m trying to get the best Instagram shots, but I'm also realizing that the historical markers have way too much information. I’d rather take pictures and let the captions sort it out later. It’s just too much to read! Also, I'm terrible at posing for photos. "Look natural," they said! "Smile!" they said! I’m probably going to end up looking like an awkward tourist.
- Afternoon: Intramuros, round two. I'll explore the nearby areas (Chinatown maybe?). I’m a sucker for markets, even if I can't haggle worth a damn. Then the emotional crash of the afternoon, because by this point, I'm always tired.
- Evening: Food! More food! I will seek out a local eatery (or maybe just order more delivery-- let's see if there is a good ramen place from the AWESOME PLACE). I'm hoping to find something I can't get anywhere else. Pray the food doesn't make me sick.
Day 4: The (Almost Definitely Flawed) Day of Really Looking Around
- Morning: Wake up. Reassess Life. Another day in MACK'S AWESOME PLACE. The showerheater is the best thing ever.
- Mid-morning: A new adventure! Maybe I'll go to a local market. I've always wanted to eat street food, and I'm considering this a good time to jump in. My stomach will thank me, or will become my enemy.
- Afternoon: Maybe a boat trip. Who am I kidding? I'm probably going to spend the afternoon just staring at the walls in MACK'S AWESOME PLACE. That's okay, too.
- RANT: I always think I need to "do" stuff on vacation, but sometimes, the best thing is to just do…nothing. To let yourself be. To soak it all in. But that nagging voice in my head keeps whispering, "You're wasting your time!" I hate that voice.
- Evening: Last night in Manila. Tonight I will reflect on everything. Order a pizza and watch Netflix. The end.
Day 5: Departure and…the Great Unknown
- Morning: Pack. Say goodbye to MACK'S AWESOME PLACE. (Maybe I'll write a heartfelt review. Or maybe I'll just silently slip out the door.)
- Afternoon: Head to the airport. The inevitable, agonizing dread. Will my flight be on time? Will my bag get lost? Will I survive the flight?
- Evening: Heading home, exhausted, confused, and vaguely ecstatic. The adventure is (mostly) over. Time to start planning the next one.
Epilogue:
This itinerary is a suggestion. I'm not a machine. I'm a human. Things will go wrong. I'll get lost. I'll probably cry at least once. But I’ll have stories. And…well, that’s what travel is all about, isn’t it? The good, the bad, the ugly, and the (hopefully) awesome. Wish me luck. And if you see me looking bewildered in the airport, please, offer me a hand. I'll probably need it.
Larnaca Beach Paradise: Your Dream Cyprus Getaway Awaits!
Ugh, Fine. FAQs About... Stuff. (Mostly Stuff I've Overthought)
Okay, so, like, What IS this whole "FAQ" thing even supposed to achieve? Besides making me lose an hour of my life...
Gah, right? You'd think after creating these things I'd have a clue. Honestly? It's supposed to answer questions. Obvious, I know. But the *real* goal, I think, is to preemptively answer whatever burning questions are sizzling in *other* people's brains. Like, before they even *ask*. Which, spoiler alert, is impossible. People are weirdly unpredictable.
Take my Aunt Mildred. Bless her heart. She once spent a solid hour asking me if "that internet thing" could be used to, and I quote, "knit a sweater faster." Knitting. Faster. I still have no idea how to answer that.
What's the MOST embarrassing thing that's ever happened to you? (Come on, spill!)
Oh, boy. Okay, buckle up. This one's a doozy. It was a Tuesday. No, wait, it was a Thursday. Definitely a Thursday. I was giving a presentation... on website design, believe it or not. In front of, like, a hundred people. A *hundred*! And I was feeling pretty good about myself, you know? Feeling like a total tech guru.
Anyway, I'm clicking through the slides, explaining the importance of CSS and blah blah, and I make some incredibly witty comment about how responsive design is the *bee's knees*. (I still cringe at that phrase.) Proud of my joke, I go to advance the slide.
*Click*. Nothing.
*Click, click, click*. Nada. The projector was dead. And the room... fell silent.
Then, and this is the killer bit, I tried to reboot my laptop, with a dramatic flourish. Only, I didn't realize the power cord was unplugged. And I was SO sure I had remembered, but my laptop flickered and gave up, and so did my dignity.
The next ten minutes were a blur of apologies, flustered gestures, and somebody (bless their soul) trying to find a replacement projector. Let's just say, I've developed a healthy suspicion of power cords ever since. And I always check the damn thing. *Always*.
So, like, What are your hobbies? Besides, you know, angst-ridden FAQ writing?
Oh, man. This is where it gets awkward. Hobbies? Officially, I'd say... reading. And, uh, occasionally attempting to keep houseplants alive (with varying degrees of success). And, uh... well, mostly I spend my time overthinking things just like this FAQ.
I used to be into hiking, but then I got attacked by a particularly grumpy squirrel who apparently had a vendetta against anyone wearing neon green. Put me off the trails for a good long while. I might have to take up indoor rock climbing.
Basically, I'm a master of procrastination. So, if my FAQ entries seem to be really long, blame the squirrel. And my own lack of focus.
Do you have any pets? Because I've heard pets make everything better.
I... vaguely recall a goldfish named Finnegan, back in the day. He lasted about a week before "jumping ship" (which is what my parents called it, I think it was just a cold, cold death). Does that count? No, probably not.
I'd *love* a dog, but I travel a lot, and it wouldn't be fair. I'm also highly allergic to cats, which is a tragedy, really. There's a fluffy gray cat that lives next door, and it taunts me from the window. I imagine it laughing at me regularly. It's probably plotting my demise. Or at least judging my writing skills.
What's the biggest regret you have? Other than writing this FAQ, obviously. (Just kidding... mostly.)
Ugh, that's a tough one. Fine, I'll tell you. Probably not taking that pottery class in college. I was going to. I *wanted* to. But, instead, I spent my time playing video games. Look, I'm not saying video games are evil. They're great. But they're not pottery. And now I'll never know if I could have been a master potter, creating beautiful, functional art. Instead, now I can only make an empty clay pot of regret.
It's the small things, isn't it? The ones that slip through your fingers. The opportunities you miss. I'm also still embarrassed by my inability to parallel park. That's high on the list.
Is there *anything* you're good at? Besides complaining?
Okay, okay, fair question! I *can* make a killer lasagna. Seriously, it's my signature dish. The secret? A generous helping of ricotta and, well, a lot of love. And maybe a sneaky splash of red wine. Also... I'm decent at solving puzzles. But don't ask me the last time I used my solving skills to get a *real* life puzzle solved. Hmmm...
Also... I have a good grasp of sarcasm. So, you know, there's that.
What's your favorite comfort food? Asking for a friend... who may or may not be me.
Chocolate. Pure, unadulterated chocolate. Dark chocolate, milk chocolate, white chocolate... I don't discriminate. If it's chocolate, I'm there. Also, cheese. I've seriously considered making cheese a food group. There's nothing a block of cheddar can't fix.
And, on particularly bad days, a big, messy plate of nachos. All the things... the cheese, the sour cream, the jalapenos... it's a guaranteed mood lifter. Just don't judge the number of napkins needed.
What's the best advice you've ever received? (And please tell me someone said something profound)
Ah, here's a story. It was from my grandpa. He was a total character - wore mismatched socks, told terrible jokes, and had the best advice ever. The best I ever heard him say was, "Don't let your toast get cold, kid."Book Hotels Now
