Last weekend we rolled in around happy hour, grabbed some loaded nachos and wings that hit way better than your average bar food (that Sofitel polish really shows), and just vibed with the pool view in the background. Staff were super friendly, kept the drinks coming without us even having to flag them down, and the whole place has this fun, laid-back energy that makes you forget you're in a hotel. Perfect for pre-gaming before a concert at MOA Arena or just unwinding after a long week. Easily 5 stars--will keep coming back.

On these rare occasions of doing guy things with my friends (unfortunately us girls can't always choose shopping, coffee shops, mani-pedi, brunch, or wine bars as a bonding activity), we would end up bowling or at a pub/sports bar. SNAPS bar is one of the places we go to for some beer and to shoot some pool then go hang out by the bay for sunset or hang out just after sunset. Drinks are hotel priced so expect to pay a little bit more than your usual pub. Service is good and the bar chow is what you would expect from a hotel bar. There's also happy hour from 5-8PM so that can also be an alternative venue for some post-work drinks or apero. Just a word of caution: try not to drink too much, otherwise, you may end up gambling at the casino just next to it!

I'd like to do this review and share our experiences from planning and the actual event. First of all, I give Anne, the Sales Reservation Officer 5 stars for her assistance through the process. I am based abroad and I did everything remotely and it was not easy. She was very attentive and truly cares in giving us a great experience at this club. We encountered some mishap on the function room set up and she facilitated the set up changes we requested and still able to meet our timeframe. The event was a family reunion which entails a lot of bonding and therefore this Agono & Barras rooms should not be recommended to cater for this purpose because the divider cannot be opened fully to have 1 big function room . The food was delicious from the main to the desserts but the best part are the service staff. They were attentive and catered to everything we needed. Lastly, this club has a very old and dull looking facade. The club sign is an eye sore and truly needs some serious refurbishing. It matters because that's the first thing you see and the club sign would be nice to be featured on the video of the event. That takes out 1 star for this my review. Thank you Anne and to your wonderful service staff.

Note: This is a 4.5 Stars Review!…read more My parents have been going here even before I was born. This Country Club was one of the first clubs in Manila. Though the facilities are not as new or "flashy" as the other clubs in the Makati area, Valle Verde Country Club or VVCC feels like a second home for me and my family. I spent my summers here with my friends and cousins. This is where we would have Sunday lunches with family and friends. My dad and brother still go here on weekdays to play tennis. I go here to eat! :) Like any club, you need to be a member to get into VVCC. I only get to eat here because of my dad's membership and he's been a member since the 70's. Some of the waiters here have been working for VVCC since the 80's and know the members like they were family. They know my dad so well that, once they see him, they will have his regular order prepared! The food here is top-notch and they also make a point to add new dishes every month. My favorite dishes are the Pork Chops (two thick pork chops + rice and unli-gravy), Corned Beef, Lengua con Champignon (ox tongue with mushroom butter sauce), and Roast Beef. All their dishes are delicious. I haven't ordered anything I did not like. On Sundays, they have their lunch buffet which includes made-to-order Mongolian rice and barbecue/grilled meats. The lunch sets are "super sulit" and the desserts/pastries are very good too! Did I mention that their dishes each cost about Php250-350 only? Nice! :D Lastly, they also have a "Party Pack" or "Christmas Specials" menu! Available for Take-out and Pick-up, their big orders are perfect for special occasions or get-togethers with family and friends. My dad ALWAYS orders their Paella and Chicken Galantina! I also recommend their Roast Beef. Super delicious dishes! Saves you time and energy come Noche Buena! :D

The Plaza San Luis Complex is a charming commercial subsection of Intramuros right next to San…read moreAgustin Church. Made up of five reconstructed Spanish colonial era buildings, it reminds me of the shopping area around Mexico City's Zocalo, although on a much smaller scale. We walked around Plaza San Luis a couple of times during my trip to Manila, both to absorb the ambiance and to get lunch at Barbara's and shop for souvenirs. I didn't love the restaurant, but the plaza was lovely. There was a stone courtyard with an old fountain that was particularly attractive. If you're visiting Intramuros, make sure you drop by the Plaza San Luis Complex. I don't know about all the individual businesses, but the area is quite pretty.

I was lucky that someone was nice enough to take me here, as I am pretty sure I wouldn't have come across this place on my own. Plaza San Luis is a great representation of Spanish colonial architecture that luckily has survived and has been revived into a well-maintained establishment that houses smaller stores, a restaurant, and a museum. Those establishments do deserve reviews on their own, so I would really, really love to talk about how beautiful this courtyard is. It's amazing how this place has retained so much of its old-world feel, with all the plants, the fountain, the stone walls and floors--it's all in the details. It's no wonder that this place is now being offered as an events place that can be rented for special occasions. You can actually do a bit of exploring. You must go up the staircase and see the majestic view of the whole courtyard from the top. It's really beautiful. I really do hope that this place remains well-maintained and taken cared of. It's a gem of a destination that our history and culture cannot afford to lose.

RATING AS A HANG OUT DURING THE DAY…read more On my first walk down Don Juico Ave, I remember looking up and seeing the rooftop infinity pool. I made a mental note to check out that place one day. Well, two years later I found an excuse to go. I was giving my friend a tour of Angeles City, and thought, now would be a perfect time to check out the Aqua Beach Club. We were instructed to take the elevator to the 7th floor. At the reception desk they gave us a waterproof bracelet with a number that the staff use to keep track of our tab; we would then pay our bill on the way out. Entrance is P250 for females and P500 for men, which goes toward any food or drink purchase. Of course the first thing we did was to ascend a flight of stairs to the Sky Bar. It was nice and breezy up there. Beware if you're scared of heights, because they have glass barriers; you can see alllll the waaaay doooown. Since there were no couches nor fans in the Sky Bar, we went back down to the main floor and chose one of the couches. WE SHARED - Watermelon shake made from fresh fruit. This was naturally sweet, but it could have used just a little bit of syrup - Tiramisu was a bit sour, my friend thinks it was because they used cream cheese. Staff are friendly, food is pricy, and the infinity pool that wraps around the club was interesting. I'm not into the club scene, so I was here for the view. Sadly, there's a fire pit area, two cabanas, and a HUGE building under construction that are blocking the view. Except for the Sky Bar, the place feels a bit cramped.

New buildings, old buildings, the struggles and survival of the foreign investors can be assessed with the 6 cabanas and 10 spacious group seating areas around the island bar.

Soft trance music and comfortable seating above the street pollution. Very luxious for Angeles. Upscale of a roof pool at Trump Towers waikiki back in the 2011 timeframe.

This place is ope 2r hours so come and enjoy a drink or food. The hamburgers and fries are terrible if you're American. But the chicken wings and dishes with rice are spot on so you cannot lose there. If you're American accept the fact you'll sacrifice western comfort foods for more value with your favorite drink or another type of food available that is just as good if not better. The staff is solid and considerate with a no b.s. attitude so take care of them. You get a lot of rowdy patrons here but every one here wants a good time so roll with the vibe of the place. You have options as a couple or a large party for a more private experience at any time of the day so if you have no idea where to go no matter what time it is come here and you'll have all your needs met for a good time. Strongly recommend this place but can use improvement in service and cleanliness.
