Nothing beats a quick weekend staycation to reset, especially when you score an absolute luxury deal in the heart of the Metro. Last weekend, our family packed our bags for a premium overnight escape at The Alpha Suites in Makati to celebrate Josh and Gabby's birthdays.


Thanks to a special booking voucher, we managed to bag a massive 3-Bedroom Suite for only around ₱13,000 a night—an incredible steal given the high-end amenities and sprawling spaces we walked into.

Watch the vlog here:


If you are planning a luxury family staycation in Makati, here is an insider review of what it is really like to stay at one of the top-rated serviced residences in the Philippines.


The Alpha Suites Location

Situated along the Ayala Avenue Extension in Makati, The Alpha Suites offers premium accommodations featuring fully equipped gourmet kitchens, spacious dining areas, and private living rooms. Guests can also enjoy access to extensive, top-tier sports and fitness facilities.


Easily navigable via Waze, the property sits directly across from the Makati Police Station and is a convenient 8-minute walk from the MRT Ayala Station. The building is highly visible and easy to spot thanks to its prominent prominent signage on the facade.




Checking In: A Smooth Recovery and Free Welcome Drinks

Our stay started with a minor scheduling shift. Standard check-in was originally at 2:00 PM, but because the hotel enforces strict deep-cleaning standards, our room readiness was moved to 3:00 PM.


To make up for the hour delay, the front desk generously handed us complimentary welcome drink vouchers redeemable at the 6th-floor pool area. It was a fair trade, and sipping cold drinks by the water was the perfect way to kick off our weekend.



Inside the Massive 3-Bedroom Suite (Unit 10BC)

When we finally unlocked the door to Suite 10BC, any slight annoyance from the delay evaporated. I was completely in awe of the sheer scale of the space.


The layout felt like two separate high-end condominium units seamlessly combined into one massive, modern home.


The entire unit features centralized air conditioning, blazing-fast free Wi-Fi, automatic motion-sensor lighting, and an abundance of flush, hidden storage cabinets integrated beautifully into the walls.

Master Suite
  • King Bed + Smart TV + Walk-in Closet
  • Double Vanity Restroom (His & Hers)

Bedroom 2
  • Two Double Beds + Private En-Suite

Bedroom 3
  • Double Bed + Pull-out Bed + Work Desk
  • Dedicated Restroom across the Hall

Living & Dining
  • Floor-to-Ceiling Glass + Remote Blinds
  • Kitchen Island + 6 Sleek High Chairs

Full Kitchen
  • 5-Burner Induction + Oven + Dishwasher
  • 2-Door Fridge + Washer & Separate Dryer


Premium Living and Dining Areas

The open-concept living area is framed by magnificent floor-to-ceiling glass windows offering expansive city views. For privacy or mid-day naps, a simple click of a remote control automatically lowers the motorized window blinds.


The dining area features a pristine white center island table paired with six elegant high chairs, making it a wonderful spot for family bonding.



A Fully Equipped Chef’s Kitchen

For families who prefer home-cooked meals during a staycation, this kitchen is a dream.


It is fully packed with:

  • A sleek under-mount sink and electric water kettle

  • A microwave, a baking oven, and a premium 5-burner induction cooker

  • A complete set of high-quality kitchenware, dishes, and utensils

  • Complimentary iced coffee mixes and 6 bottles of drinking water

  • A premium automatic dishwasher (which we didn’t need to use, but loved having as an option)


Hidden Utility Conveniences

Tucked discreetly near the dining area is a large two-door refrigerator, a front-load washing machine, and a completely separate clothes dryer. Having a dedicated dryer is a massive lifesaver for families; we used it to instantly dry our wet swimming attire so we wouldn't have to pack damp clothes into our bags.


Luxury Bedroom Layouts


The Master Bedroom: Features a plush king-size bed, a dedicated flat-screen TV, and a gorgeous walk-in closet with automatic sensor lighting. The en-suite master bathroom is wrapped in floor-to-ceiling mirrors, boasting a hot-and-cold rain shower and a luxurious double vanity ("his and hers") sink setup.


The Second Bedroom: Ideal for kids or extended family, equipped with two comfortable double beds and its own private, attached bathroom.

The Third Bedroom: Holds a cozy double-size bed with a clever pull-out bed underneath, alongside a quiet, spacious office desk setup. A separate full restroom sits directly across the hallway.



5-Star Amenities: Poolside Relaxation and Indoor Sports

By late afternoon on our first day, we headed straight down to the 6th floor to check out the iconic pool area.


Sprawling Lagoon Pool

The pool deck is beautifully landscaped with lush trees and tropical plants, making you forget you are in the middle of the busy Makati Central Business District. The main swimming pool runs 5 feet deep, while a separate 2-foot deep kids' pool keeps the little ones safe.


The hotel maintains strict safety and hygiene rules: no outside food or beverages are allowed on the deck, but they provide free premium pool towels and colorful floaties for children.


We claimed our free welcome drinks at the poolside lounge bar—the fresh Mango Passion Fruit blend was absolute perfection.

Staycation Dining: From Filipino Comfort Food to Authentic Taho

You will never go hungry staying here. The property itself is a massive culinary hub, but it is also steps away from Makati's top dining districts.


Dinner at Ayala North Exchange

For dinner on our first night, we took a short walk over to the nearby Ayala North Exchange mall complex.


We dined at Sunrise Dreams, an excellent restaurant specializing in authentic Filipino cuisine.

Our family favorites included:

Pork Steak: Incredibly tender, perfectly marinated, and easily the highlight of the meal.

Laing & Kare-Kare: Rich, creamy, and packed with traditional flavors.

Pork Sinigang: A wonderfully sour, comforting broth filled with tender meat and fresh vegetables.


Before heading back up our unit, we grabbed a few quick groceries at a nearby convenience store. We used our kitchen to whip up a midnight snack of hot french fries and local pika-pika (finger foods) while watching movies.



The Alpha Suites Breakfast Buffet Experience

We woke up at 7:00 AM for the complimentary breakfast buffet on the 4th floor. The spread is enormous, covering international, Asian, and continental selections.


I loaded my plate with an American breakfast lineup: fluffy pancakes, crispy bacon, French toast, scrambled eggs, and fresh fruits, paired with hot coffee.


The absolute best part? They have an authentic Taho station. It tasted exactly like the traditional street-vendor taho with warm silken tofu, sweet arnibal syrup, and sago pearls.


The 9 Signature Specialty Restaurants Inside Alphaland

If you choose to dine inside the complex, you have access to nine world-class international restaurants:

Balesin Islander (Filipino Regional Cuisine)

Tosca (Fine Italian Pastas & Pizzas)

Sakura (Authentic Japanese Sushi & Sashimi)

Tang Palace (Traditional Cantonese Specialties)

Mykonos (Vibrant Greek & Mediterranean Plates)

Costa del Sol (Classic Spanish Tapas & Paella)

Mark's Prime Steakhouse (Premium Grain-Fed Steaks)

Salathip (Aromatic Thai Comfort Food)

The Clubhouse / Bon Phở (International Classics & Vietnamese Phở)




A Final Stop at Ramen Nagi Valero

After relaxing and packing up, we checked out comfortably at 1:00 PM. Before heading home, we drove over to Valero Street in Salcedo Village for a late lunch at Ramen Nagi.


I ordered my absolute favorite comfort bowl: the Butao King with signature rich tonkotsu broth, thin noodles, and customized at Level 2 Spiciness for a perfect, subtle kick.


By 3:00 PM, we were officially on our way back home, completely relaxed and refreshed.

10 Best Staycation Hotels in Metro Manila


If you are looking for the perfect family staycation in the heart of Pasay, you know that the struggle to find "the one" is real. You want convenience, great food, and enough activities to keep the kids from climbing the walls.

Last October 2025, my family and I decided to skip the usual neighborhood trick-or-treating for something a bit more "magical." We headed to Belmont Hotel Manila to celebrate their highly anticipated Halloween event: Bailey and the Chocolate Factory.

Here is my full, personal review of our weekend stay, the "Golden Ticket" experience, and why this hotel remains a top choice for travelers and locals alike.



About Belmont Hotel Manila

Before we dive into the candy-coated details, let’s talk about the hotel itself. Belmont Hotel Manila is a premier 4-star destination that has built a solid reputation for "sophisticated staying." Since its opening in 2015, it has become a cornerstone of Newport World Resorts (formerly Resorts World Manila).

Belmont Hotel Manila

Location

The hotel is strategically located right across from NAIA Terminal 3. For travelers, this is a godsend. You can actually access the hotel via Runway Manila, the air-conditioned pedestrian link bridge that connects the airport directly to Newport City.

If you’re driving, like we did, it’s easily accessible via the NAIAX (NAIA Expressway). The hotel offers complimentary parking for staying guests, which is a massive perk in an area where parking slots are usually gold dust.

Day 1: Checking In and Rooftop Relaxation

We decided to maximize the weekend by checking in on a Saturday, one day before the big Halloween event. The check-in process was smooth, and the lobby already had that buzz of excitement for the upcoming festivities.


Rooftop Swimming with a View

The first order of business? The pool. Located on the rooftop, Belmont’s swimming area offers a stunning panoramic view of the airport runways and the Metro Manila skyline. It’s the perfect spot to watch planes take off while you soak.

Pool at 11th floor

Amenities: They provide fresh, clean towels at the pool deck.

Pro-Tip for Parents: The hotel is very strict about hygiene (which I appreciate!). Swimming diapers are required for toddlers. Make sure to pack some, or you might have a very disappointed little one!


A Taste of Filipino Tradition

After our swim, we headed back down to the lobby. One thing I loved was the local touch—they had stalls set up right in front of the entrance serving Bibingka and Puto Bumbong. Nothing beats the smell of charcoal-fired rice cakes in the afternoon! It was the perfect pre-dinner snack.

Bibingka and Puto Bumbong

Kids enjoy the beds

For dinner, we took a short walk over to Newport Mall. The options there are endless, but we settled on Bulgogi Brothers. There’s just something about a hot Korean grill that feels like the ultimate Saturday night treat.




Day 2: The Bailey and the Chocolate Factory Event

Sunday morning started with a heavy breakfast at Cafe Belmont. The spread had a great variety—from Filipino breakfast staples like longganisa and garlic rice to an omelet station and fresh pastries. We made sure to fuel up because we knew the "Chocolate Factory" was waiting.


The Room Package: Is it Worth It?

We availed of the Special Halloween Room Package for PHP 7,900. Looking back, it was a steal. Here’s what we got:

  • Overnight Stay in a comfortable, modern room.
  • Breakfast for Two.
  • Two Golden Tickets to the Bailey and the Chocolate Factory event.
  • A Limited Edition Bailey Bear (a high-quality plushie that my kids still sleep with).
  • Access to facilities and parking.

Party's about to start

A Magical Family Day

The event was inspired by the classic Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and Belmont really went all out. The theme was "Bailey and the Chocolate Factory," featuring the hotel's adorable mascot, Bailey Bear.

Bailey and the Chocolate Factory

For an entrance fee of PHP 1,400 per person (kids 2 and below were free), the value was incredible. The ballroom was transformed into a candy wonderland. We enjoyed:

  • Trick or Treat: Multiple stations where the kids could fill their bags.

  • Games & Entertainment: Fun activities that kept the energy high.

  • Face Painting & Arts: The artists were talented and very patient with the kids.

  • Lunch Buffet: A kid-friendly (and parent-approved) spread that was actually delicious.

  • Best in Costume Contest: Seeing all the creative costumes was a highlight!




Final Thoughts

Our overall experience at Belmont Hotel Manila was fantastic. Often, "event" hotels can feel cramped or disorganized, but Belmont managed the crowd perfectly.

The transition from our Saturday relaxation to the Sunday "sugar rush" was seamless. Whether you are looking for a place to stay before a flight or a dedicated family staycation spot in Manila, I highly recommend keeping an eye on their seasonal packages.

In character! Guess who!

Quick Summary for Travelers


Vibe: Modern, professional, but family-friendly.

Best For: Families, transit travelers, and staycationers.

Must Try: The rooftop pool and the breakfast at Cafe Belmont.

Nearby Attractions: Newport Mall, Newport Performing Arts Theater, and St. Therese of the Child Jesus Shrine.
