    I believe this is the only lounge in this airport, so not much choice there, as well as, not much ambiance. It's pretty straight forward. There's the dining area and the lounging areas. Nowhere to lay down and take a nap. You have to accomplish that sitting down. Food and service are okay. They don't leave bottles of water out; you have to ask for it. They keep it behind the counter. At least the place is clean, quiet, and separate from the crowd outside the lounge.

    Terminal 2 has since merged with Air Asia. The Mabuhay Lounge still offers the classic arrozcaldo. Pilsens are still available upon request at the staffed bar. Although I would prefer the good old days when you can just grab them from the fridge. Quite understandable to see the change, I imagine some unruly passengers would Grab and drink more than what they could handle before. It is a bit cramped so sometimes it may be hard to find a seat. Just be sure to be attentive to the time and flight announcements as there are no departure boards and cell signal may be a bit spotty.

    It's hidden at the end of the terminal across from gate 7. They have good food and a decent bar with complimentary drinks and enough food to go around. My only gripe is there wasn't many vegetarian options available so had to get full off salad. Either way it's still a good place to relax away from the hustle and bustle of terminal 2.

    The wifi here is really spotty. The AC isn't that great so sit close to it! Most of the food was decent. The arroz caldo and mami (porridge and soup). The drinks from the bar are strong. They're heavy handed! The staff were all really attentive and friendly.

    Relax before a flight.

    I travel a lot and more often than not, I fly via Philippine Airlines which means I've got a few couple hundred miles enough to give me a Mabuhay Miler card and access to their Mabuhay lounge. For some reason, my family loves going to the lounge, even for just a couple of minutes before our flights. I honestly don't like going whenever I fly alone or with someone who doesn't access to the lounge, although it does have it perks. Sometimes I would go inside just go get a few cans of cola and a few pieces of cookies and bring it out to share with my friends. Sometimes when my flight is early in the morning, I make sure to get some of their delicious Arroz Caldo. I honestly don't know what it is about their Philippine Airline Arroz Caldo, but it's just so damn good! Add some lemon, red egg and chives.. Mmm.. Perfecto! Mabuhay Milers aren't the only ones who are given access to the lounge, First Class and Business Class passengers also has access. So if I were you, even just for one trip, I would try it. I mean, who doesn't want to get pampered every once in awhile? Plus it would be a smart idea to fly Business Class for those trips that are more than 6 hours. :)

    I know other reviews have said this lounge is great and doesn't get crowded and that is comfy and you get pampered....my personal experience has been (twice): busy, smelling of damp and uncomfortable chairs. Toilets were not clean, I even mentioned it to the staff, who btw were very kind and addressed it fairly quickly...(even after that they were quickly dirty again...) Selection wasn't great for vegetarians but I'm fairly used to that...the fruit was over ripe (try and eat a watermelon that has seen better days...or a damp smelling banana). The shower...did not look clean and needs a good scrub as it has mould all over the grouting (which btw is coming off in many places), the wallpaper is coming off and patchy in places, tiles are cracked...you get the picture! Some investment and maintenance is needed. For the + notes: staff were friendly and attentive, Aircon was working, diet coke was cold and is way better than being in the gate area (don't get me started there...). I used this lounge on my way to Hong Kong from London when I flew business with my fiance with Philippine Airlines (they didn't have first but the plane was great, much better than BA's business) and on the return flight. I will definitely fly Philippine airlines again (despite the not nice lounge!)

    I travel often and this is by far the best airline lounge I have ever been to! The staff is so welcoming and the amenities that this lounge offers are amazing. The Mabuhay Lounge offers a TV, charging outlets, bar, and a buffet style cuisine. If you get Business or First Class, I definitely recommend the Mabuhay Lounge.

    Excellent, attentive, friendly service. Decent breakfast assortment. Plenty of beverage options, and CNN, whether you want it or not. Definitely worth the upgrade, especially if you're planning to check (multiple) bags

    A co-worker invited us into PAGSS Lounge at NAIA Terminal 1, and it honestly made a difference…read morebefore our flight. Right now it's smaller than usual since the other lounge is closed due to construction from i heard, so seating is tighter than what you would expect from a full lounge setup. Still, it does the job. The space is clean and quiet compared to the main terminal. After dealing with the crowd outside, just having a calm place to sit down and breathe already feels like an upgrade. It's not luxurious, but it's comfortable enough to relax, charge your devices, and wait for boarding without stress. Food selection is simple but decent. There were hot dishes, some light snacks, and drinks available. Nothing over the top, but enough to keep you full before a flight. Staff kept things organized despite the limited space, and tables were cleared regularly. If you're expecting a huge premium lounge experience, this isn't it right now because of the construction. But if you just want a quieter space, decent food, and a break from the busy terminal, PAGSS still delivers. It serves its purpose well.

Positives: Not much Negatives: The food is mediocre at best; There are two sections to the lounge. We were in the overflow area that doesn't have a restroom. You have to walk back to the main area; Asshole guests talking on the phone in the lounge. The next time I am in the PI, I hope I have access to a better lounge.

    Solid 3 star establishment when compared to airline lounges around the globe. However, for existing…read morein the PI, this gets an additional bump to 4. Manila is a great place to visit and has some really beautiful things to see and people to meet. However, it is also overrun with poverty in many areas and the infrastructure is not very advanced in some places. Couple that with sauna-like weather and I spent my days here surrounded by panhandlers, sweaty shirts, and nearly broken ankles from the potholes and uneven walking surfaces. So coming into this club which is air-conditioned, has some nice plane-spotting views, a flat surfaced floor, and offers plenty of refrigerated beverages as well as ice and this was like entering shangri-la. I expect that stuff in Europe and North America. I was ecstatic to find it here. This is a locally run lounge, not a SkyTeam Alliance lounge and not run by Delta Airlines. It is open to public access for a fee and the only airline it caters to is Delta for their premium passengers. Given that, it is small with maybe seats for 90 people and has a basic load out of beverages and food. Nothing too fancy or over the top but compared to the main terminal where you are relegated to Jollibee and instant cup noodles, this is a nice step up. There are moderate numbers of charging outlets, a small selection of alcoholic beverages, and some food choices with a local flair. I had a bowl of local chicken congee with calamansi squeezed in and it was really good. This is also a last chance for an ice-cold San Miguel beer prior to leaving the country if that is your thing. It is not mine. Frankly I am not much of a beer drinker so I was pretty excited to see an American whiskey available here, even if it was Jack Daniels. Back home I would not drink that as I consider it to be crap swill but after being here with limited whiskey availability in constant crotch rot conditions, a little JD over ice next to an air conditioner vent made me as happy as a pig in a mud puddle. I know that this review makes me sound like the arrogant, entitled jerk American. I do not mean it that way and I am genuinely thankful for my opportunities to travel to a lot of different places. I also am a big fan of the Philippines because the culture and food are amazing and the people are some of the friendliest I have come across on the planet. What I wanted to convey in this review was that for an airline lounge, this one is really no big deal. But when you compare it to what the locals have to do to make this place happen, it is a really nice space for some pre-departure hospitality. I have zero complaints about this lounge and the time I spent in it and I will look forward to it when I next get a chance to visit.

First off, getting to the…read morelounges was slightly confusing, the Pacific Club Lounge was off to the other side away from the Airline lounges - which made it a lot less crowded. I'm a Delta Member & an American Express cardholder so I was able to get my family in for free or a discounted rate. We were just traveling to Hong Kong for a short weekends trip but made it to the airport 3 hours earlier than we expected. The lounge is pretty spacious and nicely decorated. I liked that they had "charging station" seating areas with comfortable chairs! I also thoroughly enjoyed that they had multiple TVs. In comparison to the Mabuhay Lounge at NAIA, this lounge not only had more space but they had much better service and amenities! The food selection was so-so, mostly carbs: arroz caldo (rice porridge, sandwiches, pastries, pastas, cereal). Being vegan, my options were limited to bread and fruit. But hey! I'll skip the snacks anyday because they had a self serve bar! Again, comparing to Mabuhay lounge, I found this option to be much more welcoming. My family and I were able to enjoy a couple glasses of wine and a couple locally brewed beers (San Miguel Light). The staff was also very kind and friendly, making sure everything was neatly kept and food was refilled. Their bathrooms were also very nice and spacious as well, I saw they had a shower room too in case you need to freshen up in between layovers. 4 stars for the alcohol, service and interior. Had to dock a star because of the limited food options - I wish they could add in some more vegetable dishes and fruit! Otherwise, it was overall a great experience!

They also had pasta Alfredo, some chicken dish, a salad bar and fresh fruits. Their ladies room was small and clean. It had a shower as well. Would be nice if they could make the lounge bigger and brighten it up a little so it didn't look so dreary.
