Shore Residence Manila Bay City Lights View MOA Complex

The view pool hospitality

Location, location, location. We had a view of 2 fireworks shows for New Year’s Eve, with easy walks to/from MOA, Met Live, restaurants, and convenience stores. Rides to/from the airport and other MOA locations were also convenient. They had guards at the doors and a pleasant, spacious lobby. The owner was responsive through the app, also available by local phone.

It was cramped for 4 people (and 2 were kids 8 and under), so we would not likely be able to return as our kids get older. Check in would have been more difficult if we didn’t have my local aunt (with a local phone) help us with check in/communication. The reception desk wasn’t helpful for check in or checkout. After booking, the owner requested more for 2 dates bc they forgot to increase the fee for the holidays; we paid cash at arrival for the difference. The pool would have cost extra too, so we opted not to go. Overall, we realize we prefer hotels and western amenities.
