I came through this section of the airport last year and did not notice any of these lounges available for purchase.
Good thing Big Bro and Hubbers were on eagle eye mode because if it weren't for them, I still most likely would not know it was here.
With about 4 hours to spare before getting on a long and dreadful flight, we were looking for a place to hangout: a restaurant, a bar, anything really. After making our rounds on this terminal, we opted to hangout here.
$25/pp for three hours. All you can eat and all you can drink - ALCOHOL included. (Yep! And I double checked with the staff!)
Now they have two sections: a main one and one across the way. The only difference is the main location has a shower section. And it's bigger. And more aesthetically pleasing.
Main was full when we came through so our only option was to go across the way. No biggie, not like we were in desperate need for a shower, and they pretty much served the same stuff. But without asking, staff told us, "We will come get your party once space opens up in our main section." Just to make sure, I made a reservation (because it's an option) to secure them spots.
Free WiFi (they will give you the password written in small pieces of cut paper.) And they are true to their word: it is all you can eat and drink.
Plenty of options: siopao, siomai, arroz caldo, soup, pasta, small bites of sandwiches, bread, crackers. There's also a halo-halo section. They added a halal section (rice, hummus, chicken marsal) during our wait. There's also buko pandan and crudités in the fridge. Non-alcoholic drinks included water and soda. Alcoholic drinks included beer and some hard liquor. For $25/person, it was a steal, and even more so when we were able to maximize it since we had hours to spare.
They did call us back to the main section sooner than I expected. Cool!
What's even better is that at anytime a flight is boarding, someone will walk through both sections making multiple announcements to make sure you don't miss yours.
FOOD: 5.
SERVICE: 5. They were mindful about picking up used dishes and cutlery and cleaning up the tables.
VALUE: 5. Worth it!
PARKING: N/A. Located at the NAIA/T1.
OVERALL: 5.
There will be multiple visits in the future. Glad to learn of this place's existence. Unless I find a better deal, this may be my stop before take off! read more
