Feed the penguins, touch a stingray, and encounter sharks at Manila Ocean Park. There are so many fun things to do here, but if you still can’t get enough of your marine exploration, have a staycation at Hotel H2O. Some rooms here are filled with aquarium walls to make you feel like you’re staying underwater.

You’ll also love their Executive Suite which has a stunning view of the Manila Bay. Yes, you can take a dip in their bathtub with a view of the bay, thanks to its wide glass window. Yexel’s Toy Museum is also located here. Have fun posing with real life sizes of minions, Star Wars figure and Game of Thrones set up. Just a few walks' away, you can dine at Harbor View and catch the sunset while having fresh seafood.

2. Sofitel Philippine Plaza

An indoor infinity pool overlooking the Manila skyline has been circulating on the internet for some time now. If you still have no idea where it is, stay at Marco Polo Ortigas. Swim your stress away in its incredible infinity pool and have a good night sleep in any of its spacious, cosy rooms.

8. Discovery Primea

The newest addition to the Discovery family, Discovery Primea is your home away from home. You’ll probably want to extend your stay here since the rooms are really very posh and neat. It’s on the luxurious side, though, meaning it’s expensive. One night could set you back at ₱8,000, but I’m sure you’ll be more than satisfied with their exquisite amenities.

9. The Peninsula Manila
