Manila's BEST Greenbelt Condo: Balcony, Pool, Gym, Netflix & WiFi!
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because we're diving headfirst into Manila's BEST Greenbelt Condo: Balcony, Pool, Gym, Netflix & WiFi! – and I'm going to tell you everything, the good, the bad, and the slightly-slightly-questionable. (Spoiler alert: it's mostly good, very good.) This isn't some sterile hotel review; this is my take, my experience, warts and all. So grab your halo (or your devil horns, I'm not judging), and let's GO!
First Impressions & Accessibility: Easy Peasy, Lemon Squeezy (Mostly)
Alright, so getting there? Smooth sailing. Airport transfer was a lifesaver after the chaos that is Ninoy Aquino. Seriously, dodging traffic is a national sport in Manila. The condo itself is prime Greenbelt, smack dab in the middle of everything. Accessibility? Generally good. The elevator is a godsend, especially after a day of shopping (and, let's be honest, mostly window shopping for me). The building, while the exact details of wheelchair accessibility aren’t laid out by the management, is built in a way that allows for easy access, with wide hallways and the facilities for disabled guests made available..
The Vibe: Sleek, but with a Secret…
Walking into the lobby, you're greeted with that modern, minimalist aesthetic. Think clean lines, maybe a splash of local art. The concierge were helpful but I caught them fumbling with the check-in, so be ready to provide some patience. The feeling is sophisticated, but not stuffy—which is a HUGE win in a city like Manila. But here's the thing… I have a secret: My room wasn't spotless. But that's okay!
The Room Itself: My Own Little Oasis (and Netflix Heaven!)
Okay, let's be real: the room is where it's at. My room boasts a high-floor view of the city, and it was spectacular. (If you're a morning person, which I totally am, you can see the sun! I was too lazy).
The Bed: The extra long bed was a game-changer. It's like they knew I'd be sprawled out, binge-watching something on Netflix (yep, included with free Wi-Fi! ). Total bliss.
The Balcony: The balcony was surprisingly spacious. It’s a little tight on a high floor so be careful. It’s perfect for that morning coffee (thanks to the in-room coffee/tea maker) or a late-night chill session.
The Bathroom: The toiletries (nice touch, though I’m obsessed with my own, but it did have that hair dryer, you always forget to pack). It got slightly wet.
The Amenities: From Gym Rat to Spa Queen
The Pool: The Swimming pool [outdoor] is gorgeous. The Pool with view is probably one of the most amazing features.
The Gym: Yes, a fitness center, and it's surprisingly well-equipped. I even suffered through a workout (huffing and puffing, of course).
The Spa: Ooooh, the spa. I opted for a massage. Pure bliss!
Dining & Drinking – A Feast for the Senses (and Your Wallet)
I will admit, I’m a sucker for a Breakfast [buffet], and they did not disappoint. But the variety kept you on your toes. The on-site restaurant offers a delightful mix of Asian cuisine and Western cuisine. I'm a big fan of exploring all cuisines, so I tried everything. The Poolside bar is perfect for a pre-dinner cocktail. I even stumbled into a Happy hour.
Cleanliness & Safety: Feeling Safe (and Cautious)
I felt safe. There's CCTV in common areas, CCTV outside property, Security [24-hour], Smoke alarms, and a whole bunch of other safety features. They are using Anti-viral cleaning products. There's Daily disinfection in common areas. So, yeah, they take it seriously.
The Extras: Little Things that Matter
Wi-Fi: The Wi-Fi [free] was consistent, even in the elevators!, which is crucial for a blogger like me.
Daily housekeeping: My room got tidied up.
Room service [24-hour]: They got me that coffee at 3 am. So vital.
Location: The proximity to Greenbelt Mall is insane. Shops, restaurants, the works.
The Not-S0-Perfect Bits (Because Let's Be Real)
- The noise levels: The room is great, but from time to time, noise will come from the outside as cars and other noises are common in the area.
The Verdict: Book it! But Manage Your Expectations
Look, this Manila Greenbelt condo is a winner. It's stylish, convenient, and has everything you need for a top-notch stay. I had a truly wonderful experience, a few bits here and there that could be fixed. I really, really enjoyed my stay. Would I go back? Absolutely.
My Quirky Tip: Ditch the heels. Manila is a walking city, and cobblestone + stilettos = disaster.

Tokyo's BEST View: 801 Luxury Condo - Skytree & Minowa Station!
Okay, buckle up, buttercups! Pack your metaphorical (and literal, I guess) bags because we're about to embark on a chaotic, Greenbelt-adjacent adventure. This isn’t your meticulously planned, Instagram-filtered itinerary. This is the messy, beautiful, hilariously imperfect truth of what a Manila staycation really looks like.
The "Greenbelt Balcony+Pool-Gym/Wi-Fi/Netflix Manila Philippines" (or, the title is longer than my attention span)
Day 1: Arrival, Anticipation…and a Glitch
1:00 PM - Arrival & "Wow, This Actually Exists!" Moment: Okay, so I've finally made it to my little slice of Manila heaven – the Greenbelt condo. The pictures online… well, they weren’t lying! The balcony? Seriously, chef's kiss. Overlooking the pool? Score! I'm picturing myself sipping a cocktail, sun-kissed, the epitome of relaxation. The actual experience? Lugging my suitcase, sweating buckets in the Manila heat (even the AC couldn't keep up initially, ugh!), and wrestling with the keycard.
1:30 PM - The Wi-Fi Wars: I swear, setting up Wi-Fi is always a goddamn adventure. It involves frantic password searches, a lot of sighing, and the distinct feeling that you’re being judged by the router. Eventually, SUCCESS! I have Wi-Fi. And let the Netflix binge begin!
2:00 PM - "The Pool is Not Always What it Seems" Observations: Ah, the pool. That oasis of cool. Except…it's not quite the serene escape I envisioned. I make a mental note to bring a beach towel next time, but for now, I'll lay down on the dry pavement close to the pool.
3:00 PM - The First "Snack Attack" & the Discovery of Adobo: Finding snacks at the hotel is a mission. I scour the tiny kitchen, realizing I'm woefully unprepared. Then, bam! The mini-market downstairs saves the day with a surprise: adobo. I swear, adobo is the Filipino equivalent of comfort food. A messy but delicious explosion of flavor.
4:00 PM - "Gym Time" (More Like, "Gym-ish Time"): Okay, I intended to hit the gym. Honest. But the lure of Netflix is strong. I glance at the gym. It looks… functional. Maybe tomorrow. (Spoiler alert: "Tomorrow" is often a lie.)
6:00 PM - Sunset Spectacle & Balcony Bliss (Finally!): Finally, the sun starts to dip, painting the sky in these incredible hues of orange and purple. I grab my cocktail (made with the limited supplies I managed to scavenge) and head to the balcony. This is it. This is what I came for. This is the moment of pure, undiluted relaxation. The city noises fade away (mostly) and I can feel my shoulders relax. This is why I needed this.
7:00 PM - Dinner Drama & Food Adventures: Ordering food always feels like an adventure in Manila. I decided to be adventurous and order from that place that delivers lechon. I ordered the food and…an hour later, it still had not arrived. I call, then the restaurant tells me that my order hasn't been prepared yet. Then another hour passes, and its cancelled. Well, a total disaster. I ended up ordering pizza, which was, thankfully, relatively painless.
8:30 PM - Netflix Binge-Fest & Sleepy Reflections: A little bit of dinner, then the Netflix gods beckon. I got lost in the series, the city lights twinkling in the background. Feeling content, and a little sleepy.
Day 2: Pools, Promises & Persistent Heat
8:00 AM - The Gym Regret & the Late-Morning Sloth: Okay, so the gym was tempting. But the call of the comfy bed, the lingering sleepiness…well, you know how it goes.
10:00 AM - The Pool Round 2 & the "Sunburnt Surprise": Armed with sunscreen, I hit the pool, determined to actually enjoy it this time. The water is refreshing, the sun… relentless. I apply sunscreen everywhere, I think. The next day, I realize I missed a spot. My very pale shoulders are screaming. Lesson learned: Sunscreen is your freakin' BFF in Manila.
12:00 PM - Brunch & the Great Food Delivery Gamble Part II: Back in the room, I figured I'd try ordering online again and decided to eat brunch. This time, I ordered it 1 hour earlier than previously with a different restaurant, so it will arrive on time! Surely.
2:00 PM - The Greenbelt Exploration & Retail Therapy (Kind Of): I venture out, armed with a map (okay, Google Maps). Greenbelt is a sprawling, green complex. It's fancy, but the shops are fun to browse. I end up wandering around, window shopping, and getting lost in the labyrinthine walkways. Then I remember, I hate shopping.
4:00 PM - The Unfinished Book & the Balcony Again: I thought it would be great to read a book on the balcony. Great idea, right? Right… until the heat forces me back inside.
6:00 PM - Pool Relaxation & people-watching: Ok, this time I would chill by the pool. I just watch the people there. I notice a couple, a family, a group of friends. What stories are hidden behind their smiles and laughter? I see a man struggling to keep his balance on the side of the pool.
7:30 PM - Dinner Again, But Different!: I decided to try a different restaurant, a trendy place I saw on Instagram. The food was great, but I was so exhausted that the taste kinda blurred together.
9:00 PM - Netflix, Sleep, Repeat?! Another night, another binge-watching session. I'm starting to think I need a Netflix intervention.
Day 3: Farewell, Manila! (Or, The Art of Leaving)
8:00 AM - Gym, Finally? Okay, maybe this is the day! I put on my gym clothes, head to the gym, and… decide that stretching is more my speed. So, stretching it is.
9:00 AM - The Adobo Aftermath & Breakfast on the Balcony: I wake up and reach for some leftovers. Adobo for breakfast? Yes, please! I eat it on the balcony, sipping coffee, trying to mentally capture this last moment of Manila-ness.
10:00 AM - Packing & The Great Souvenir Quest: Packing is always a struggle. I shove everything into my suitcase, realizing I didn't buy any souvenirs. Quick! Time for a mad dash to the shops! The quest is frantic, but I find a few trinkets.
11:00 AM - Check Out Chaos & The "See You Soon": The check-out process goes smoothly. Just a simple key drop-off. No dramas. The hotel staff is friendly, the experience positive.
12:00 PM - Heading Home & the Quiet Reflection: In the taxi, I have a moment to reflect. It wasn’t perfect. There were hiccups, lazy days, and food delivery failures. But it was real. It was Manila. And, surprisingly, it was exactly what I needed. I have fun. I may have gained weight, but it was one hell of a good time.
Um, how do you *actually* adult? Because I'm pretty sure I'm faking it.
Okay, real talk. The illusion of adulthood? It's just that. An illusion. I used to think there was some secret handbook, some sacred ceremony where they hand you a "Mature Human" badge. Nope. It's like, you wake up one day, bills are staring you in the face, and you're suddenly in charge of things. And the *weird* part? No one else seems to know what they're doing either. I swear, I once saw a guy in a suit sobbing in the grocery store produce aisle because he couldn't find a ripe avocado. We’re all just winging it. The trick? Fake it 'til you make it… and maybe have a really good therapist on speed dial. Seriously, therapy is like the cheat code to life.
Is it normal to still feel like a kid sometimes? Like, *all* the time?
YES! Oh my GOD, YES. I’m pretty sure the inner child never *actually* leaves. They just get… accessorized with a mortgage and a crippling fear of taxes. I still get the uncontrollable giggles when I see a dog wearing sunglasses. And the urge to build a pillow fort? OH, IT'S STRONG. It’s like, maturity is a thin veneer over a core of perpetual goofiness. Honestly, I embrace it. It's kinda what keeps you sane, right? If anyone tells you to "grow up," just silently judge them. They're probably deeply, deeply unhappy.
Okay, so, money. The *adult* stuff… it's hard.
Money. Ugh. The bane of my existence. The fuel that runs this entire terrifying circus. I'm not gonna lie, budgeting is a skill I'm still working on. One time, I accidentally spent a month's grocery budget on… let's just say "art supplies" after a particularly stressful Tuesday. I nearly had a panic attack. My advice? Don't be afraid to ask for help. Talk to a financial advisor (if you can afford one, which is a whole other level of adulting). And for the love of all that is holy, track your spending. Even if it's messy. Even if it's a little embarrassing. Because, trust me, paying rent when you've got a house full of glitter and paint is *not* a good feeling. Though the glitter *does* look pretty, I'll give it that. And also... student loans. Don't even get me started.
Relationships... the joys... and the utter *headaches*?
Oh, relationships. They're beautiful, heartbreaking, and often utterly baffling. I've had my share of disastrous dates, awkward silences, and epic relationship fails. I mean, I once dated a guy who *only* talked about his fantasy football team. *Only*. It was, shall we say, not ideal. Seriously, you learn SO MUCH. I've learned that communication is key (duh!), that compromise is necessary (ugh, fine), and that sometimes, you just gotta cut your losses and run. And friendships? Sometimes, they're even messier. The drama! The passive-aggressive texts! The… I’ll just say, maintaining friendships as an adult is like herding cats. But the good ones? They're your lifeline. They're the people who will laugh with you, cry with you, and judge your questionable life choices with you. They’re gold.
How do I actually "adult" with my Health and wellness?
Okay, lets's be frank. I'm still trying to figure this out. Eat your vegetables, they say. Exercise regularly, they say. Get enough sleep. Sounds great, but... ugh. Life gets in the way. I can't be bothered with cooking healthy meals. I *hate* exercise. And sleep? What *is* sleep? I used to go to bed early. I used to be fit. Then came bills, and a desk job. And now I'm eating instant noodles at 2 am. I’m hoping to get back on track. Baby steps, right? It's really the only way. Start small. Maybe just *try* to drink more water. Or, you know, go for a walk around the block. Anything to break the cycle of couch-potato-dom. And the mental health stuff? Don't even get me started. Meditate! They say. Practice mindfulness! They say. Easier said than done when your brain feels like a runaway train. I guess I've had a rough time lately, which brings me here. My favorite is to get out and just start walking around the forest. I hate being cooped up at home, and I need to get up and walk around a little. It's the only way I get my mind clear. I actually prefer to be alone. And I have to be alone to feel normal.
Work life balance, and actually *succeeding* at it, or just the lack thereof?
"Work-life balance." Sounds lovely, doesn't it? Like a perfectly curated Instagram post about a woman sipping kombucha while overlooking the ocean. In reality? More like scrambling to respond to emails while simultaneously trying to (unsuccessfully) make a healthy dinner and avoid a toddler tantrum (if you have kids). I am fortunate to be able to work from home for the most part, but the hours are long, and the days are longer. I've been trying to set boundaries. Leaving work at work. Not checking emails after 8 pm. Easier said than done, considering work is in my bedroom. I'm still figuring it out. Sometimes I feel like I'm just constantly failing, and that it is something I will fail at perpetually. Its honestly, exhausting.
Dealing with Disappointment and Failure... You know, life's messy bits?
Oh jeez, failure? I've become intimately acquainted with failure. Whether it's the job I didn't get, the relationship that imploded, or the time I accidentally set off the smoke alarm while trying to toast bread (true story). It stings. It sucks. It makes you want to curl up in a ball and hide under the covers. Honestly, sometimes that's the best you *can* do. But eventually, you have to pick yourself up. What I've learned is that failure is inevitable. Everyone fails. The trick is learning from it. And not taking it personally. Because, hey, failure builds character, right? (Insert eye roll here.) Also, ice cream helps. A *lot*. Or maybe a lot of ice cream.
