THE REFURBISHED HERITAGE HOTEL MANILA AND RIVIERA CAFÉ

From years ago, I had my staycation experience at Heritage Hotel Manila together with my parents and siblings.  The casino was then operating under PAGCOR.  It was the simplest of all staycation experiences I had.  It needs renovation at that time to keep up with the competition and the needs of the demanding clients.

Today, the façade maintains its old charm with a more improved, pleasant and comfortable staycation experience, not to mention the interiors more elaborate and stylishly modern.  

At the intersection of EDSA and Roxas Boulevard, the Heritage Hotel Manila is a 2-minute walk from a bus stop, 2 km from SM Mall of Asia and accessible to international and domestic airports.

MIAN RESTAURANT AT MARRIOTT: A FEAST ON BOWLS

The tagline says “Come in hungry walk out happy”.  Many restaurants claim the same but only a few lives up to it.  And Mian Restaurant surprisingly did.

Along with my childhood friends, we were at Mian Restaurant of the Marriott Grand Ballroom for an instant reunion and to feast on a variety of cuisine served on bowls.

Chopsticks and rice bowls may appear to have restrained our appetite for lunch.  But it actually didn’t.  It was more than sufficient with its huge serving and delectable taste.

MARRIOTT GRAND BALLROOM: THE SWEET DETAILS OF CREMA

For once in a blue moon, I lounge at coffee shops sans the coffee.

In a not so ordinary Saturday, I will be sharing the table with my childhood friends in a sophisticated set-up of an upscale gourmet coffee shop.

We were seated at one of the famed dining shops of the newly opened Marriott Grand Ballroom across the Marriott Hotel – Crema Restaurant.

The engaging open-theatre kitchen of the Marriott Café assures every guest that only fresh and delectable cuisine would be served on your plates.  It was a weekend of buffet for the group – dinner and breakfast.

There’s an invitation to watch a Filipino movie-inspired stage play at the Newport Theater of the Resorts World Manila.  We gladly accepted the opportunity and thought that it would be best to search for accommodations within the vicinity to spend the weekend with.  Fortunately, we were booked at one of the luxurious hotels within the world-class casino entertainment complex of the Resorts World Manila two days before the show.  This will be a weekend of style and elegance – at the Manila Marriott Hotel.  A well-planned weekend that came into reality.

Love that transcends time is the theme of this grand musical production showcasing the best talents from several countries, including our very own.  This masterpiece is staged at the Newport Performing Arts Theatre Resorts World Manila in front of NAIA 3 Terminal, being the first fusion in the Philippines of Broadway and Vegas.

The story revolves around a prince (portrayed by stage actor Gian Magdangal) from the medieval times who searched into a magical mirror and fell in love with a maiden (Martha Joy) from the future, overcoming all obstacles and schemes of an interfering adviser (Joel Trinidad).  It also features two tigers, Betty, the yellow tiger and Sito, the white tiger, the latter portraying the role as Kaos.  Both under the training of master illusionist and good wizard, Enrique Polo.  Live music is performed by the Manila Symphony Orchestra as well.  Take note that taking of pictures is strictly prohibited while the show is going on.

Aside from the musical show, breathtaking stunts and acrobatic shows were also displayed, which makes the show more exciting and unpredictable.  My personal favorite were the cyclists from Spain. which is literally heart-pounding.  They were performing their stunts inside a globe-like structure or the cycle of life as they call it and they definitely defied gravity.  I thought the capacity inside the said structure was only 3 motorcyclists, but it exceeded my expectations.  Expect remarkable performances from:
  • acrobats from China 
  • Belarus Power Duo
  • Spanish 5 stunt motorcyclists
  • Wheel of death from Columbia
  • Human Time Machine performers from South America
  • Hip Hop dance champions Philippine All Stars - 2008 World Hiphop Dance Champion 

New Port Performing Arts Theatre

This is the venue for the said multi-million  grand production, with a 1,500 seat capacity, equipped with state of the art technology lighting and sound system.  The largest Euro Led wall ever built in the Philippines is also a site to behold in the theater, serving as backdrop for 3D scenes.
