This megamall has its good and bad things. But generally, this mall leaves a positive impression on me.

The interior is super big and enormous. Even the exterior itself is very wide and spacious. On my walk from the drop-off zone to the mall interior, you can see lots of people walking briskly into the mall, and along the walkway there are some stalls that sell mostly traditional Filipino food and snacks. When you enter the mall, you can literally see lots of tenants located side by side along the mall corridors. The mall is divided into several zones, and a walk from one zone to another may take minutes to complete.

The food and beverage options inside the mall is plentiful. You can see average family restaurants like Mang Inasal, fast food tenants such as Jollibee and McDonald's, or even splurge restaurants inside. As a transit passenger, you can replenish yourself here after a few hours flight. It's located very close to NAIA airport, i.e. the taxi ride to this mall usually takes 15-20 minutes. For around 200 pesos, you can have a nice lunch in here.

Another amenities offered here are bookstores, fashion shops, seaside walk etc. You can spend some time in any one of these shops before or after having your meal.

Something that you need to take note of is the signage may not be clear enough for first-time visitors. Even though there are information desks and digital directory scattered around the mall, its enormous size means you may still need to ask a question or two before reaching places that you want to go. Also, the security check located before entering every single areas of the mall can be troublesome, especially if you're carrying luggage or large backpack. The security officer requires you to open your own bag before entering the mall.

Overall, this mall is still ideal for people who want to spend several hours here shopping for food, groceries, souvenirs or even clothing. For transit passengers in Manila (like myself), this mall worths a few hours visit before going back to the airport.
