Luxury Living in Makati Diamond Residences, Philippines (Hotel Review)

As a traveler, you would know by now that I have since left the Philippines to base myself abroad. After 2 years of living and traveling overseas, I decided that it was time to book a ticket to Manila in order to visit my family and friends. (Makati Diamond Residences)

After ironing out my itinerary, I started to hunt for the best staycation that’s right in the heart of the metropolis — for sure, a hotel or an accommodation at my parents’ house would have been an easy answer, but I wanted a centralized place to myself which would hold amenities that are beyond the typical hotel room.

…and that’s when the Makati Diamond Residences [link] came into the picture.

A new property right in the heart of Makati, it offers convenient serviced apartments that have the similar luxuries of a luxury business hotel! It’s absolutely perfect for travelers like me, as well as long-staying guests.

Here are the other reasons why I have come to love this accommodation.
