Great stories start here

Published Feb 18, 2022 08:27 pm

Love is in the air this Feb., with the spirit of Valentine's Day still lingering like a sweet perfume even after the 14th. And why not? Celebrating love stories big and small, the old and new, fresh and steady is always a good idea, no matter what the date.

Integrated resort Okada Manila is all about celebrating stories. It’s certainly large enough to hold both grand and simple celebrations for everybody within its 42 hectares of space. For this Valentine’s season, Okada Manila makes sure that it has nearly everything for everybody—whether you’re with a lover, your family, friends, or even just flying solo.

Romantic dates and special staycations 

The hotel rooms at Okada Manila are always a wonder to behold. Spacious, well-appointed, luxurious, and with a great view. Go ahead and whisk away your special someone, or even the whole family, and treat them to a staycation here. There’s no need to leave the resort since everything they need is within reach. 

Okada Manila has a myriad of dining options and the best of them have cooked up something special for Valentine’s month. From traditional Asian cuisine and European offerings to romantic dates or family feasts, there are a lot to choose from! Even the Lobby Lounge has prepared sweet treats just for the occasion. 

Speaking of sweet treats, take some time off from the world and give yourself and your date time to relax and unwind at The Retreat Spa. 

If shopping is your love language, Okada Manila has over eight thousand square meters dedicated to shopping. Stop by The Gift Boutique for souvenirs, and Les Fleurs for a special floral bouquet, because every romantic date needs flowers. 

And if you’re up for it, bring your date for luck to one of the biggest casino floors in the country. Okada Manila has a number of gaming options at the casino. Have fun, play responsibly, and who knows? You might just get lucky and hit the jackpot. What a story that would make! 

True service from the heart

Okada Manila has been awarded the Forbes five-star for two consecutive years for good reason. Beyond its luxurious and world-class amenities, the integrated resort brings to the table its trademark Japanese hospitality omotenashi which simply means honest and heartfelt service and magokoro which is sincere devotion, a “true heart.” It’s the kind of service that anticipates the guest’s needs and is always ready to serve. 

Omotenashiand magokoro are the driving principles of Okada Manila’s operations that enabled them to ensure their guest’s safety during the pandemic. The integrated resort has been awarded by Forbes Travel Guide and digital health leader Sharecare the verified certification badge after assessing Okada Manila’s health and safety protocols. The 3T campaign (True Clean. True Safe. True Heart.) was designed and implemented for everybody’s safety so guests could enjoy Okada Manila with complete peace of mind.

So how about coming to the heart of everything you love? Dine out with your loved ones. Pamper yourself. Celebrate milestones of all sizes. And give yourself a well-deserved break. You can always begin your great story at Okada Manila.
