Tip from Trip101 local expert
Expect complete luxury in the breathtaking Diamond Hotel. Staying here felt like an absolute dream, as everything you may ever need is on offer. I stayed here with my family and we had loads of fun. There are also many amenities you can enjoy, whether you are with a little one or having an adult-only getaway. The pool boasts views of Manila Bay, so you can level up your relaxation. There is even a bar in the pool area if you want a refreshing drink. The private bathrooms are just as magnificent, exuding a regal feel.
What I love most about this hotel is that it has a sauna and hot tub area. It was my first time going in a sauna and it was as rejuvenating as some people say it was. And, of course, the breakfast buffet is incredible.
