Ever since we had a child, we always want our kid/s to experience Christmas around the Philippines especially in Metro Manila where Filipinos really prepare for the season. Aside from the fact that I’m always excited for Christmas and I always make sure that I start my Christmas list and Christmas shopping early (goes to show how excited I am every year), I can also see how excited our daughter is now that she sees so many decors around- Santa, Frosty, and Christmas Trees. Our daughter, Chesca, showed her excitement again when we had a great afternoon at the Holiday Inn and Suites Makati. We feel so happy when we see the children happy!

Holiday Inn Makati is one precious gem in the middle of the busiest business district in the Philippines- Makati. It’s not just a business inn, it’s not just a place to stay and sleep, it’s not just an ordinary hotel with the usual amenities. It’s a hotel with a genuine heart. You’ll see a great hotel the moment you touch base with the first employee which are the doorman, bellboys, or people at the reception. We were welcomed by their beautiful Christmas trees and decors.

Me and the kids (well, Chesca is the only one eating buffet food for now) had our lunch at the Flavors restaurant at the 4th floor of the hotel where Citron Lobby Bar is located too.

We got the chance to experience the Holiday Inn Makati Christmas feel.

The hotel is very cozy and a great place to relax , stay wth with family and friends.

The restaurant has a carving station for the roast beef, dessert station, salad station, sushi station, and viand station.

 

 

Forgot to take a picture but what I really loved among all the desserts I tried during the buffet was their UBE CHEESECAKE! really, when I say this is the best I have tasted so far, I really mean it’s really really so so good! I’ve tasted others but this one’s definitely something you won’t forget.

We enjoyed the friendly people and cozy ambiance. We definitely forgot that we were in the middle of a busy city and beside a mall too. Their rooms are clean and very modern too.    The hotel is complete and service is great!

Tip: Ask where you can park if you’re bringing a car just to be sure. As you know, Makati parking can get really difficult and full at times. They also have valet service.

This is another addition to our favourite happy places 🙂 We highly recommend Holiday Inn & Suites Makati not only to companies but also to family and friends. This hotel has so many surprises in store. Kids stay and eat free here too!

*** Thank you Bess for the hospitality and their wonderful hotel staff for being so sincere and helpful during our visit.
