Honest review
Advice for anyone flying to Manila for longer than a couple of nights: take an apartment, not a standard room — Makati Diamond Residences is built around exactly that logic.
Every suite and apartment has a kitchenette, a washing machine, a work area and a roomy bathroom: you can live at your own pace for weeks without depending on laundries and cafés.
The location settles half your questions: Legazpi Village, with Legazpi Park, the Greenbelt mall, premium boutiques and the capital's best restaurants close by.
For work — conference rooms, business services and fast Wi-Fi; for recovery — a spa, a round-the-clock gym, a heated pool and massage. Dinner without going out — at Alfred, with its Asian-European menu, or via 24-hour room service.
Who it suits: business travellers and anyone staying on in Manila for the long haul.
