On our last week in the Philippines, we were invited to stay in this amazing property near NAIA (Ninoy Aquino International Airport), the Hyatt City of Dreams Manila. If you are having a layover, this is probably the best hotel to stay as it is just near the airport terminals.

Just to be clear, we didn’t go there for the casino. But knowing that a Hyatt brand is about to accommodate us, I knew it will give us a world – class experience! And it did in so many levels. We were so glad that Mr. Francis David of Hyatt City of Dreams Manila allowed us to make few changes on our schedules. They were indeed flexible.

    The Food

    If you have been following my Philippine -adventure, you probably knew that I got sick during one of our travels. That meant, I wasn’t able to eat a lot for a couple of days. Good thing that when we came back to Manila, a buffet was waiting for us! I kid you not, the food in Hyatt City of Dreams Manila is to die for. It’s actually pretty reasonable given the food choices, and the fact that it is in a 5-star hotel. I would recommend that you pay a visit most especially on special occasions like birthdays or romantic dates.

    • The Café – This is the main dining area of the hotel. It serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner. During the buffet hours, you can enjoy a fantastic culinary show. There are a lot of cuisines to choose from. They have Italian, Japanese, Asian and a whole lot more. I bet that after having a meal in The Café, you can definitely say, “Cravings Satisfied’ – no less.
