I have stayed at this property in various AirBnB units for a total of 2 months now, and I just…read moreextended my stay for another month. The units are compact but well laid out with everything you need for your stay. Most AirBnB hosts will furnish the apartment well, and if you can find a 1 bedroom unit with a laundry washing machine, you will find these units suitable for an extended stay. The gardens between the towers are pleasant to walk through on the way in and out of the property as it provides shade during the day and pretty lighting and smells at night. There are stray cats in the gardens that are well fed by residents. The pool area is pretty but pricey to access as guests at P300 per visit. The security guards have been friendly and attentive but thorough--they will enforce the rules. GrabEats delivers readily to this property and you only need to pin the correct tower and meet the driver in the lobby to receive the order. Pleasant 5 minute walk from the guard house to the 3 large malls in the area--useful during holidays when public transport and Grab cars cannot get through the congested roads.

The reality of searching for an apartment lies in three factors - location, infrastructure, and…read moreprice - wherein you can only choose two. It blows, and it makes for a lot of frustrating searches. Thank the cosmos for reviews, where you could start with your apartment hunt at the comfort of your childhood bedroom. This is a review for the apartment building of 189 Maginhawa. You're welcome. PROS: Security? You are literally beside the Quezon City Police Department HQ. They also have security people, a lobby person, and CCTVs on the hallway; Rooms are great, with the building being newly constructed and all. Furnishings have this condo-type feel. I'm placing this in between pros and cons -- Location is great because it's in Maginhawa. Right downstairs or a few blocks away are establishments for a variety of your needs. But it's also not a good location if you're a commuter who goes out for work/school frequently. Tricycles and cabs are hard to come by. CONS: P10,000.00 a month for an 18-square-meter studio apartment, electricity, water, and cable/internet bills not included; I heard phone signal strength weakens inside the units; You climb three floors (or more) of stairs to get to your unit. TL;DR: Infrastructure - impressive. Location - depends if you have your own vehicle, but OK in general. Price - expensive for its size.

Very clean and nice condominiums! If I were to own condo rooms here in the Philippines, I would…read morepick this place for the accommodations and security. The place is well decorated and very modern. There is also a quick access door to ShangriLa Place and garage from these buildings for only ShangriLa residence. It's only minutes away from SM Megamall, Starmall, Greenfield, Starbucks and 7-11 convenience store as well! The security guards to enter this place are pretty strict if new but once they are familiar with you, it gets easier. I like it this way so that I feel secure and that it is not just anyone can enter. We happen to rent a condo here for two weeks and everything was great, use of gym and pool. Pool was clean and secluded and only for residence so it's not crowded. Their gym was well equipped with treadmills and other strength training equipment. There is even a weight trainer to assist you. We stayed on the 49th floor and facing ShangriLa Plaza. I loved the balcony use and views, and even enjoyed seeing the rain and thunder lightening from above! Hehe... We hope to be back here again on our next visit or may just buy one of these units for our own use!! [68/100]

The building is off Lourdes but if you don't drive slow, I can see you missing the entrance to this place as there is construction around it. This twin tower building is next to the up coming Westin residence that is being built still. The Sonata building is a pretty secure residential place as there is a guard at the entrance to driveway, a guard before cars can go in. The guards are good at knowing the regulars here when you get dropped off by Grab cars. There is also guards over looking the front entrance to the building. If you have guests coming to visit you, they have to sign in and take your picture before they can call your condo. The staff is super nice and friendly. The place offers a gym, pool, kids play area and lounging area for guests with AC and TV. There is a boutique and salon at the bottom floor of tower 1. I really enjoyed it here so if you plan to purchase one of these condos, this is a perfect location to live in. We stayed here for a month as this was in Airbnb for a decent price. [17/100]

When you glance outside, you do see a bit of a less fortunate area nearby-it's a reminder of the stark contrast, which is a bit sad. I think those who developed this mini city could do more to support the communities around them, but it's a safe and vibrant spot. Pet-friendly, everything within walking distance, and if you're visiting Manila, BGC is definitely worth staying in. For a quieter vibe, consider staying closer to Manila Bay, but be prepared to grab a ride since not much is walkable unless you're near the mall. Still, BGC really has a lot to offer and is a great base for exploring. No service requested but the Value at some of the hotels or airbnb are affordable!

It's sensory overload and it would be wise to spend at least 2-3 days exploring this area to absorb everything that's going on. If you're looking for restaurants, art, retail and culture you'll find it here. It's a spacious open space for the community to connect with one another. While walking around I noticed families, friends, co-workers, and international travelers gathering and spending time in this area. It's a lively place to see and be seen. We took a rideshare to Market Market then walked over to Bonifacio High Street. We arrived late afternoon so it was still light out. I saw the Bonifacio High Street marker on 11th Ave and took note of the logo and artistic structure. It reminded me of rice terraces. Then after walking some ways I noticed the elevation started to change slightly, going down steps and ramps. It's nice they considered ramps for people with mobility restrictions. I saw people exercising/jogging. In this heat? Yup. It was shocking to me but I guess they're used to it. I come from a city with mild temps. If it goes above 85 degrees for 3+ consecutive days we freak out and call it a heatwave. Side story: When we took the bus up to Baguio, a lady from Colorado sat next to me. She said she stayed at the Grand Hyatt Manila a couple blocks from High Street. She said she really liked staying there. She convinced me that I need to stay at that hotel in BGC the next time I visit. We dined at Vikings, The Alley, BGC and one of my fam members had a Philippine phone number to make a reservation online since they didn't accept international phone numbers. The food was okay. Medley Buffet at Okada was better. I was shocked when we got the bill though. It was so cheap/affordable. The US dollar goes really far in the Philippines. It's no surprise my retired family members live that snowbird life. Must be nice! ;p By the time we left the restaurant it was dark out. We walked outside and there were a lot more people out. I guess once people clock out of work, everyone just hangs out here. We needed to get back to our hotel located outside of BGC and it was hard finding a rideshare pick up spot. We ended up near the 3D LED screen on 5th Ave. Rideshare kept denying our request, which was the only time it happened on our whole trip. It was pretty frustrating but I can only assume it was because it was so crowded and everyone was trying to hail a car. Eventually we connected with a driver but it took 3 tries. I guess the lesson to take from this is to find the nearest hotel and get picked up there, otherwise you might run into the same problem as we did. Or better yet, just book a hotel in BGC and enjoy the sights and sounds of this desirable neighborhood.

This move of hers would prove to be one of the greatest points in my life and those of my friends as her apartment became our general tamabayan, shooting location, editing suite, and party venue for most of our college and post-college lives. It was a quick thirty minutes or less from UPD, a walkable distance from our local haunt, Cubao X, and just a general convenience just beside EDSA and P. Tuazon. Even with pretty tight society (part of it was a hotel before) and a dearth of parking options, we've had the most intimate nights, greatest lazy afternoons, and biggest parties in their little unit, probably having close to thirty people there in the one-bedroom, one-bathroom apartment. I've swum in their year-round frigid swimming pool, snuck into their rooftop while it was still under construction, shot and edited school projects there, climbed the twenty so floors to their place when the elevators weren't available, and had the best times of my life there. We've since grown older, had less time and reason to party, and even Lara had to move out at some point to work in Manila, so for a while our lives were Regalia-less. Now she's come back, but now it's a little worse for wear with the construction of another tower and a neighboring condominium. They've lost their roundabout driveway and when you come in you feel like you going into work at a factory. But hopefully this all changes for the better soon.

We booked online and got our confirmation number by email. Our experience booking online it was good. We went to the resort and go thru security. The security guard was asking for QRcode that we don't even aware. It takes as 3hrs to get our QRcode and we waited inside our car not even in the lobby. We booked also a last minute reservation for extra room because they don't allowed 7people in the room. Our room is clean no questions asked our caretaker is very friendly I can give her a 100% for hospitality. The room is very convenient you can cooked your own food. All AC is working but you need to turned it off every time to leave the unit The following day we were trying to go relax and enjoy the pool. Once we get in there we need to pay 250peso an entrance fee. 7am to 12noon and then if you want to comeback 12noon to 7pm need to pay again 250peso. Everything in here you need to pay parking every time you go out the resort and comeback you need to pay for parking fee. We only stayed 2nights and spend 6,000peso for extra room. 1bed plus 1000 security deposit and our 2bed 10,000 plus 1,000peso security deposit. It's not worth it if you just want to relax and experience the resort. Too much for all hidden fee. It's not recommended!

I had just moved out of this dorm after graduating. I stayed for about half of my years in college…read more It was the cheapest dormitory within the area. The dorm itself isn't very nice. I prefer a more "condo-ish" interior. I found it a bit weird that the guards tend to be nosy. One time, I was just about to leave the dorm and go back to province when suddenly the guard followed me outside of the gate and asked where I was going and why even if I was on the phone and in very much a hurry. Their so-called library isn't apparently air-conditioned and the interior of my building wasn't fully symmetrical. The floors weren't all "pantay" and the elevator's very slow. The fridge usually doesn't have any space, some of the food I put there go missing, likewise with the condiments like oil, salt, and pepper that I leave in the kitchen just like my fellow dormers. It was an alright place to stay at if you wanna settle for less. But if you really want that perfect city life, I would prefer somewhere better and more sulit.

She was roommates with her best friend and the two of them always just said how comfortable it was and how the security was really tight. One time that I went over, the guard didn't even want to let me in at first, but after some assurance from Lexie that I wasn't gonna be there long, the guard allowed it. She was perfectly nice about all of it though. Those were just the rules! As you enter the dorm building, you see right away a courtyard area, right in the middle of everything, with all these plants and flowers and wooden benches. Pretty homey! It's like they have their own little garden right in there. Some blockmates and I (all girls only haha) actually had a pleasant study session there, freshman year. Going inside the room, you can see how it's pretty spacious! They had a double room I guess, which fit two twin size beds easily with much space left to move around. They also had their own bathroom inside the room, closets, and a big table to one side where their toaster, fridge, and other food stuff were on. It's more like a small apartment than just a dorm. And it was cool they could have a toaster. I don't think you can have that in the dorms on campus, lol. Even the other nicer dorms in the area are just basic bedrooms, and the bathrooms are even outside. I could see how it was very comfortable at Dormitoryana. You could rest easy with the good security as well. Would have been nice to live there, indeed. (If only I could have dormed! But I lived too near school, hahaha).
