Five star service & amenities for four star prices...

Five star service & amenities for four star prices. Booking online was seamless, getting there is easy, you have to hit Seaside Blvd (road b/w Conrad & Manila Bay) to access the loading/unloading deck which also serves as the ramp to the basement parking. Drop off your luggage with the hops, they'll load it up and meet you in the 3/f where the hotel concierge is. Get the parking ticket and park your car downstairs, you'll have the frontdesk validate your parking to qualify for free parking. You'll be asked to go through a security checkpoint similar to ones at airports (body scans, patdowns & bag scans). Checking in is a breeze (if there isn't anyone in line I guess), front desk folks are very polite & helpful. We stayed for three nights and got the Premier Suite. Aside from the usual amenities which included a restroom, another restroom that's in the same room as the shower & bath tub, lounging area w/ TV, bedroom w/ lounging couch & TV, walk in closet etc the view is what blew us away. We arrived close to sunset so we spent that time watching the sunset on the bay, that was awesome! While watching the sunset, the staff knocked and provided us with a welcome snack & a free Conrad plushie. With the Premier Suite, we got free breakfast buffets at either the Brasserie on 3 (3/F lobby) or the top floor. I think you get more variety on the Brasserie but in general, you get various breads & pastries, noodle soups, sausages, fruits, omelettes cooked to your taste etc. The pool area is a nice place to lounge about & swim. You can do laps if it isn't too crowded, the pool bar is situated nicely and service was great. It's got easy access to the mall which is a plus.
