Okada Manila
A vast Five-Star integrated resort on Manila Bay, Okada Manila combines lavish rooms, more than a dozen restaurants, The Fountain, extensive gaming and entertainment, and a serious spa within a 108-acre complex.
Okada Manila dominates a large stretch of Entertainment City near Manila Bay, its curved pink-and-gold buildings connected by a dramatic central skybridge. The scale is immense, but the resort is carefully organized into hotel, dining, retail and entertainment zones.
Rooms and suites are unusually spacious and technologically advanced, with digital controls managing lighting, curtains and guest requests. The best categories capitalize on Manila Bay sunsets or views toward the resort’s enormous central fountain.
The Fountain is the property’s signature spectacle, combining hundreds of water jets, lighting and music across an enormous lagoon. Gaming, retail, a nightclub, children’s entertainment and large event spaces make Okada function more like a self-contained destination than a conventional city hotel.
The Retreat Spa provides a polished counterpoint to the resort’s energy, with treatment rooms, relaxation spaces and a pool. More than 20 dining venues range from Japanese and Filipino concepts to Italian, Korean, Chinese and large international buffet experiences.
Okada Manila is best for travelers who want the maximal version of an integrated resort. Its room size, dining breadth, entertainment and proximity to the airport make it particularly effective for short luxury stays centered on the resort itself.
