| Table setting at Encima - the Roofdeck Restaurant of City Garden Hotel Makati |
But the food is just one enticing factor of the dinner. The view at the roofeck restaurant of City Garden Hotel Makati is priceless. Giving you a panoramic view of the Makati skyline, you'll also get bursts of cool breeze and instrumental music from a pianist.
 |
| Standard Room dressed up for Valentine's Day! |
We checked out the room that's included in the package and had the chance to check-in for an overnight stay. At a price of 3999Php nett, you'll get a standard room that can be upgraded to your choice of room, with additional cost.
 |
| "Every moment spent with you...is like a dream come true!" |
The room was dressed up, ready for the Heart's Day! Just look at those towels shaped like two swans kissing, also forming a heart.
 |
| Roses for the sweet lady... |
There were also two stems of roses - white and red - on the bed, just a little something to give to your special someone, just in case you weren't able to buy some.
 |
| Rose petals all over! |
They've also decorated the carpet with a huge heart that was made up of rose petals. More petals of roses in the bathroom - on the sides of the bath tub and on the sides of the sink. I can't deny it, it was truly a romantic set-up!
 |
| Deluxe room that can accommodate up to 4 persons |
The bed was covered with crisp white sheets, a duvet that was so comfy and pillows that were soft and fluffy. Everything smelled so fresh and clean as well that I didn't want to get out of the bed!
 |
| Standard Room in City Garden Hotel Makati |
The room had all the essentials - TV, Wifi access that was super fast, a personal ref, water heater for the complimentary coffee and tea, bedroom slippers, cabinet and a safety box. The room was simple but had a sophisticated elegance brought about by the window drapes, ample furnishing, lamps hanging by the sides of the bed and an extra one near the window, framed art works above the head board of the bed and the wooden floor. I liked that it retained the classic hotel room charm, shying away from too much modern upgrades.
 |
| All clean and neat! |
The bathroom was all white clean, with a tub and all the bath room essentials - hot and cold shower, toiletries, dental kit and a hair dryer.
 |
| Some bathroom essentials |
Taking a dip into the tub with warm water was truly relaxing. It eased away all the stress from the work week.
 |
| Overlooking Makati! |
We also checked out the swimming pool of the hotel which was part of the amenities. Located at the roofdeck, just beside Encima, the pool had a nice view of the city with Jacuzzi to boot!
 |
| Clean water, nice view, a little shade and some greenery |
Well maintained with a staff always manning the area, I was really delighted to see that they provide floaters to little ones! They also have complimentary beach towels for use within the area.
 |
| Vertical garden! |
They also incorporated as much greenery as they can with the available space such as pots of plants and a vertical garden to boot! This added up to the overall relaxing vibe of the pool area.
What's a staycation without breakfast buffet? The package included breakfast buffet for 2 in their other restaurant named Bistro. The buffet is priced at 495Php nett and is also available for walk-in customers.

The buffet area was well organized with one section dedicated to the dishes, etc. The tables were set properly and I liked that all chairs were cushioned.
 |

The restaurant was well lit with a lot of natural light shining through the many huge windows of the place. Loved the warm tones from the wooden pillars adorned with bright lamps. Overall, the ambiance was very light and cozy. Perfect for a great start of one's day!
They have an assortment of dishes - Filipino Classic Favorites like Pork Tocino, Adobo and fried Bangus.
 |
| Fish Fillet |
They also have the usual western flare like sausages, buttered potatoes and fish fillet.

Conscious about your weight? Indulge in their salad station that will let you customize your salad - fresh and crisp greens, an assortment of veggies, cold cuts and dressing.
 |
| Some carbs in the form of potatoes! |
They also have potato salad with bits of bacon in a tasty mayo based dressing.
 |
| You can never go wrong with bacon! |
Like bacon? You can request for some just by asking one of their staff.
 |
| Danngit with vinegar! |
Not only that, you can also request for danggit, which were so good I tell you - crisp and salty just the way I like it!
 |
| Poached Egg! |
If poached egg is your game, you can also request for this. Sitting on top of white bread, two runny poached eggs will be given and I like to season mine with black pepper and some salt. I actually liked the versatility here and how much they consider the needs of their customers.
 |
| An assortment of sweets! |
Then of course the dessert section! You can choose from their selection of chocolate cookies, mini muffins and even mini cupcakes. They also have buchi, if you don't like any of the sweet stuff.
 |
| Fresh and colorful fruits! |
If you are into fruits, fret not because they also offer an assortment - pineapple, watermelon, papaya and even honey dew.

I kid you not when I tell you that this Romance at the Garden Package is well worth every peso spent. From the accommodation to the dinner, the breakfast and the amenities - you sure are getting the best bang for your buck here!
What's another striking thing that I liked about our stay at City Garden Hotel Makati was the customer service. Staff are always smiling, never shy in greeting the guests and always fast when you request something. From the housekeeping personnel to the receptionist, even the waiters and most especially their Captain Waiter - Jhox Yanson - who was so good in managing the queue and keeping up with the customer demands during the breakfast buffet!
