Just came from an overnight stay in Belmont Hotel in Newport City conveniently located right across NAIA III.

Next best thing about this location? You don’t have to queue up for a ride even if no one’s coming to fetch you. The Resorts World Manila coach bus is just off to the right and you can hitch a ride for free to Belmont! And you can take the same bus for your departing flight!

 

Comfy double room

I was booked at Room 1031 on the 10th floor so even if there was a lot of construction work going on in the neighborhood, I was insulated from the street noise and had a good night’s sleep at the comfy double bed, and wonders of wonders! 26Mbps internet! For this alone, many travelers would already make a beeline for Belmont.

 

Since it’s just starting up, some spots needs polishing but the most important thing-the staff’s hospitality is outstanding. Truly a showcase of the legendary Filipino hospitality, felt right at home from check-in to check out.

 Visitors from Cagayan de Oro will be delighted so many familiar faces among the staff led by GM Lorenzo Tang, Dir. for Operations Rey Fabricante, Chef Dean and songbird Aizel Ruga.

 Try Chef Dean Manalo’s specialties at Cafe Belmont, reason enough to make this your home next time you’re in Manila. I tried his Rock of Lamb in spicy orange burgundy sauce and it was yummy to the talampakan!

 Next time you’re in Manila and need a hotel near the airport where you don’t want to run the risk of cardiac arrest in the horrendous traffic trying to catch your flight, make it Belmont Hotel Manila at Newport Boulevard, Newport City right next to Resorts World Manila.
