    Even though it was more expensive than other similar hotels, we were happy with our stay.

    Not having a magnifying mirror in the bathroom. More lighting would help in the bathroom too.

    Breakfast is not only good but conveniently located in the lobby. We liked our breakfast voucher options which were more varied and very tasty. Location is great and very close to one of the best malls. The buggy/shuttle and airport shuttle also very helpful in figuring out transportation around the town.

    I think the mattresses could use an update and so could the couches in terms of support but other than that nothing bad to say.

    Always love returning to Rockwell. Property staff was very helpful, kind, and responsive.

    Prologue resto can use some room to improve customer service& availability of food of choice for breakfast vouchers.coffee should not take long to be served.Most liked food eg: arrozcaldo shld.be available till 10am breakfast time. Servers said it was in demand…then for the guests sake cook more of what guests like. What’s the marketing dept. doing?..and pls don’t ignore aruga’s guests when they appear at the entrance..be courteous enough to seat them with enthusiasm not with “flat facial expression” which makes guests feel unwelcome.

    We had a pleasant comfortable relaxing 8 days stay at Aruga. Mark& Lloyd always made sure we came home to a very clean, well supplied,well organized room. Requests for kitchen& room needs were delivered on time .Their courtesy,smiles& respect for guests were exceptional. Team Aruga always offered their assistance from the time we entered the door on check-in,concierge,service center calls,security on the premises ,basement parking,exit to the mall until check out time. Aruga will be our residence of choice when we return.

    There wasn't much not to like but a few suggestions for the room would be to have additional garbage bags and a dish rack to dry dishes would make things easier but this is a small non issue really.

    Aruga was fantastic. Great location and well cared for property.very safe to approach the street and walk around the area.the room is exactly as advertised and all pictures were accurate. The pool area was beautiful. Room was very spacious and clean and the beds and pillows were big and comfortable. Even the housekeeping went above my expectations washing our dishes and fluffing our beds daily. The staff were more than accommodating and did everything they could to make our stay pleasurable. Paul at the front desk and Ian on the door were particularly lovely and greeted us with big smiles as all staff did. Special mention to Paul who located my daughters phone she left in a grab car and made it his personal mission to have this returned. This went beyond our expectations but was so appreciated. Thankyou Paul. Staff took us on a little tour of makati in the buggy car which my kids loved. We will absolutely return and can't wait to stay at Aruga again.

    The breakfast arrangement is not rich and not up to standard, it’s not equivalent to the room rate. I’m a smoker, and I didn’t like their smoking restrictions.

    Rockwell is a fancy location
