- Crown N1 contributionIt was so big that it hurts my feel but it was a good one, they very kind and hospitable and you'll really feel the hospitality that they have but then again it was so big especially inside.Written October 9, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- irenevffDasmarinas City, Philippines5,960 contributionsi was invited to speak in a recent event held in this hotel. it was my first time to step foot inside. upon entering, the grand casino would actually catch your sight. not my thing.
the venue was at the grand ballroom situated on the second floor. to reach the area, one has to pass thru another lavish display of slot machines, roulettes and other casino equipment. there are also several stalls selling signature brands for bags, shoes and apparel.
the main ballroom can accommodate more than 500 guests. but for this event, it was split to also hold booth exhibits at the rear. the audio system was superb.
food was, of course, excellent. tha wait staff knew their tasks and very dedicated in accomplishing them. cheerful attitude as well despite the very busy workload. kudos to COD servers.
and oh, internet all you can for the free wifi. parking fee is not collected as well. woohoo! but i have yet to experience an overnight stay.Written May 23, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It was such a great experience the first time, we decided to book again a year later.
ALWAYS: Great staff, attentive and respectful. They always seemed like they would go the extra mile just to please you. Retreat Spa Bespoke massages were awesome. Newly opened Medley Buffet for breakfast did not disappoint. Lots of selections, including many Filipino favorites. Stayed at a Grand Deluxe Room with a view of the pool and Manila Bay.
HOWEVER: Okada Manila is showing some wear and tear. Although our room attendant was very respectful, the sofa in this particular room had not been vacuumed in a while. When I sat in it for the first time during our stay the dust flew all over. Being terribly allergic to dust, I had my coughing spells the rest of the stay in this room. Peeling paint, loose tiles in water closet and shower, peeling wall paper, banged up base boards, drawers that would not easily close, are just a few things showing wear and tear. Both visit times, the COVE was not available to enjoy. Wish there was more attention to keeping roof and common areas pressure cleaned or painted. When looking at the grounds from the 15th floor--the roofs, terraces, walkways, and walls were blackened from algae or mold growth which detracted from the beautiful views.
On our way to Spa Retreat, the hallways smelled very moldy, like wet carpet that didn't dry.
WISH: Would be nice if there was only one handle to turn on faucets in the bathroom sinks that would allow guests to select water temperature even with one hand. Wish the utility hooks in the bathroom were not beyond the sink counter and behind the tub making it hard to reach. Wish there was an easier way to get to Spa Retreat from Coral Wing. A golf cart was not always waiting in the areas where we usually see it.
SHOUT OUT: to Christian, MJ, Ashley, and Sol at Spa Retreat; Jojo and Tel at Mary Grace, the very attentive door attendants when we were checking out early Sunday morning.Written November 5, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

I didn't see a black jack table
Some slots
And machine games
Only one floor because the 2nd floor is under renovation.
Hopefully they will have 300 peso or 500 peso black jack or bacarrat.
There's two roulette tables and mostly 1000 peso bacarrat game.
There's no sicbo or other fun games like color game or wheel game for small bets.
It makes me think that it's not a game anymore coz it's so expensive to play.
Unlike other casinos which have 100,300 and 500.
Not enjoyable for me.Written November 6, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - Poker Room ReviewSydney, Australia16 contributions== Location and Access ==
Metro Card Club might be a bit of a trek from the airport due to Manila's notorious traffic, but it's well worth it. Located in Ortigas Pasig, it's surrounded by major shopping centers like SM Megamall, Robinson's Galleria, and Shangri La Plaza, making it a shopper's paradise. I recommend booking a Grab or Taxi a bit earlier to compensate for traffic.
== Game Options ==
For beginners and budget-conscious players, Metro offers incredibly low-stakes games starting at just $0.20/$0.40 USD with a maximum buy-in of $40 USD. While the stakes stay relatively small due to the local crowd, Metro stands out for its exciting tournaments with substantial prize pools. Daily and weekly tournaments are also available, making it appealing even to international travelers.
== Service and Experience ==
Metro Card Club excels with a high number of staff. Non-alcoholic beverages are complimentary, and chip runners and massages are readily available. While dealers are very efficient, there are no card shuffling machines that can slow down the game. Waiting lists are quite reasonable.
==Rake and Rewards==
Given wages in the Philippines are generally lower, the rake is considered quite high. For cash games, it's 10% capped at 4 Big Blinds. The tournament rake is more reasonable, but note there is a 3% prize pool surcharge. I would recommend checking their Facebook page to see the tournament schedule beforehand.Written September 26, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Bob HPhilippines1 contributionI brought my friend to casino, this was her first visit to casino, we played few hours on table games, then sat down on chair of slot machine to drink coffee, all the nearby slot machines were vacant, but still slot attendant DANIELA and EULAH came to us, and asked us to leave chair because we were not playing. I find it insulting and unwelcoming. My friend told me she felt unwelcome and will never go this casino ever. I complained to supervisor JASE, but he had no interest to listen to our concern.
We felt discriminated in this casino, because no other customers were told to leave chair, even though they were not playing too.
I will give 1 star, for their poor treatment of custpmers. There are other better casinos in manila to visit and play.Written August 28, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

I go there quite often and she always has that same outstanding service and ready smile. She also remembers what I usually order so that is really a plus factor. 👍Written July 23, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
