It’s been ages since me and my husband went on a trip as we’re busy with work and caring for the kids. Finally, we decided to take a break and packed our bags (minus the kids) and headed to Manila to enjoy our couple’s stay at Solaire Resort Entertainment City.
Prime Location
Located in the vibrant heart of Metro Manila, Solaire Resort Entertainment City, offers a world-class luxury experience from the moment you step inside. The resort is located less than 30 minutes away from the Ninoy Aquino International Airport and is close by to Ayala Shopping Mall as well as the popular SM City Manila.
Opulence and luxurious haven
This opulent resort is the perfect haven for those seeking relaxation and entertainment with unparalleled elegance. The resort’s architectural design combines modern aesthetics with traditional Filipino elements. Step into a world of lush gardens, cascading waterfalls, sparkling fountains with elegant interiors that create a truly memorable and enchanting ambiance.
Forbes 5 Star Excellence Award
For eight consecutive years, Solaire Resort Entertainment City has earned the prestigious Forbes Travel Guide 5-Star Rating in service and world-class facilities. This is a testament of its commitment to excellence.
Unwind in luxury at Sky Tower
We decided to book ourselves into the luxurious Sky Studio suite, a 65-square-meter haven of modern aesthetics. Featuring a contemporary design with classic furniture pieces, it’s the perfect room for a retreat.
The king-sized bed was super comfortable with fluffy pillows and silky comforters that beckoned you to sleep the day away. If you’re feeling bored, just turn on the 55-inch LED satellite TV which provides ample entertainment options. There’s also a walk-in wardrobe, dressing table and spacious work area with high WiFi speed for you to stay in productivity.
I also loved the spacious living room area, where you can rest at the sofa or lay on the resting couch to enjoy a cup of tea or read a book, while watching the sunset over Manila Bay.
Everything was perfect, until we stepped into the bathroom. The ‘WOW’ factor was there as it gives the vibes of a private spa. We’ve got the rain shower, his/her separate basins, bathtub (equipped with loofah and sea salt) and luxurious bath amenities.
At night, we were surprised with special sweet treats and the bed was turned down to welcome us for a good night’s rest! With its luxurious room settings, Solaire is the perfect haven to relax and recharge.
International Breakfast Buffet at Fresh Restaurant
Our stay includes breakfast at Fresh Restaurant, where an array of International Cuisines are served. We had a lavish buffet, digging into freshly baked pastries and artisanal bread paired with delicious omelettes and fresh seasonal fruits.
Craving for coffee, I placed an order with the waiter and they served me a freshly brewed cup. Freshly squeezed juices are aplenty too. For breakfast, I prefer healthier options, thus I truly enjoyed the overnight oats, yogurt bowls and more. Whilst my husband enjoyed the rotisserie station serving mouth-watering meats and seafood featuring a mix of International and local Filipino dishes.
We both agreed, the one thing that stood out most is the Ice Cream Bar. It was filled with delicious fruity yogurt ice cream and you can pair it with frozen fruits. The dessert station was also pretty irresistible, offering an assortment of western pastries as well as traditional Filipino sweets.
Entertainment and Activities
Head over to the poolside to take a dip, while enjoying the breezy wind. Feel free to order signature cocktails and gourmet snacks from the comfort of your lounge chair. Indulge in a relaxing soak at the jacuzzi too!
I also checked out the gym and it was fully equipped. I had a good run and stretched myself with the Pilates ball as the area was spacious.
At Solaire, they have special activities arranged in the ballroom or musical specials at the theatre . We attended the ‘ChicMac Festival’. It’s a festival to celebrate the world of Korean culture. We had the best party night ever, enjoying free flow drinks and indulging in varieties of Korean cuisines. There were fun activities held at the event and guests can win exciting prizes home.
Feeling the need to rejuvenate, I book myself a pampering spa experience. I was not disappointed, the masseuse was attentive and the massage was on point. I felt so relaxed after the 1 hour session. Best part, they served me a warm cup of ginger tea before and after the massage.
While I was enjoying my spa session, my husband decided to have a go at the state-of-the-art casino. He certainly had a thrilling gaming experience.
A Luxury Retail Experience at Solaire: The Shoppes
Craving for some retail therapy, then step into the world of luxury shopping at The Shoppes at Solaire. In here, you’ll find luxury retail stores such as Rolex, Louis Vuitton, Dior, Burberry, Omega and more.
On the top floor of The Shoppes, check out the Art Gallery Walkway. Here, one can enjoy viewing the beautifully designed masterpiece artwork from various artists. Each piece tells its own story, inviting visitors to explore its themes and narratives.
World-Class Culinary Journey
At Solaire, they offered 19 world-class restaurants with a diverse array of cuisines. From fine dining, casual eateries to cocktail bars, they have something to cater to your needs. Be prepared to indulge in a gastronomic journey. Check out my top favourite restaurants in here.
We had a wonderful time at Solaire Resort Entertainment City and left the resort with unforgettable memories. The exceptional service, extravagant dining experiences, luxurious amenities and vibrant atmosphere makes Solaire the perfect haven for a retreat.
