Really amazing hotel. Management is great and you can see it in the little things like all staff from the hotel will always greet you and go beyond limitations to make sure that you are comfortable. There was this one time where we were already beyond time limits in one of the restaurants and they let us stay until we finish our food. Real class of a hotel with real class people. 10/10 would go again.

Five years on after Covid plus a new addition to the family, we have come back to one of our favourite hotels. I have been travelling to the Philippines for almost 20 years now, and have stayed in nearly all of Makati’s 5-star hotels, including some that are no longer there. The Discovery Primea rates among the very best. It is honestly a home from home experience as soon as you walk through the doors. Another recent reviewer from Ireland stated that she was treated like a Vip even though she was not. I would echo that sentiment. We travelled as a family of 2 adults and 2 children aged 7 and 2 and the reception that we were given, and in particular towards the children, was outstanding. We will have so many happy memories as a family from this holiday and many of them will be related as to how we were treated by this amazing team of people; and that is at all levels, from management to door security. We stayed in October and November this year in 2 separate blocks of 5 nights. In between, we visited a resort and the hotel held our excess luggage until we returned. On our return there were treats for the children and us adults in our room and we were really made to feel like we had come home. The rooms are large, comfortable and opulent and consist of a separate bathroom and bedrooms, depending on room choice, a lounge area and a kitchenette. The kitchen area has its own washing machine and drier, which is a brilliant idea and meant that we had all of our washing done prior to returning to the UK. Cleaning standards are exceptional with the daily room maintenance taking up to 45 minutes. They are thorough! Facilities at the hotel are excellent with the Infinity pool being a highlight as you have an elevated view of the cityscape from the rear of the hotel. Incidentally, the rear of the hotel is also the best place for rooms as it is away from the traffic noise on Ayala Avenue and the views are equally spectacular. One of the big advantages with this hotel is its location. Cross the road from the entrance lobby and you are directly into Rustans department store and the Glorietta Mall. Greenbelt is also a mere 5-minute walk away where you can access the better restaurants. I would agree with another recent reviewer that breakfast is the one area that the hotel could perhaps improve on. As a European, breakfast here is more targeted to the Asian guests and there is not as much choice or variety for people like me. I must state though that I never went hungry and my wife probably enjoyed local foods more than I did given that this is her city of origin. A proper toasting machine would be a real benefit over the portable oven / grill in use currently. This took up to 10 minutes per guest and you inevitably had to wait for it to be free. Having said all this, alternative items were available on request and the team in the restaurant were always delighted to help in whatever way they could. In a nutshell, if you are travelling to Makati and you need a great hotel, I would absolutely endorse The Discovery Primea as somewhere that will not disappoint. In conclusion, while thanking everyone who made our stay so pleasurable, I must highlight the Hotel Manager, Miss Belle Ching. This lady went out of her way for us as a family with so many special touches that I won’t detail here. Our 2 children have adopted her as an honorary aunt and we will be eternally grateful for everything that she did to make us all feel special. Thank you again Belle and please pass on our warmest greetings to the rest of your team. Until the next time, Sam, Welma and the 2 G’s ❤…

I attended the APCB Christmas party and the food is really yummy. Kudos to the chef! At the lobby, while waiting for my ride, I felt really thirsty and my mouth was dry from drinking wine. I asked for water for at the front desk and Alexander gave me a bottle of water. Truly appreciate that! Thank you so much!

We celebrated our daughter's 16th birthday in Discovery Primea suite. She enjoyed it very much with her friends as the room was very spacious to play with Nintendo switch & convenient for food set up. Ms Leona of front desk was very helpful and accommodating to our needs. She even requested for a birthday cake for my daughter which made it extra special.

I would like to share with you my experience of staying at Discovery Primea Hotel, which was from 2014 until this year 2023. Every year I find that they have something new. The staff is renewed and the quality is at its highest levels. The employees strive to provide services to you with respect and affection. The hotel is close to all services, very comfortable, let you feel calm and relaxing. All of my appreciation for guest service associate Mr. Mark, Ms. Eunice and Ms. Gela. I highly recommend and rate the experience.

This venue is a great way to start or end the night. The selection of whiskies and local and international cigars is extensive. The venue has a sophisticated but fun ambience. But what really stood out were the awesome staff who were knowledgeable about the whiskies and cigars, had great recommendations but more importantly, were friendly and really made the venue stand out from other places. Thank you to Melvie, Dell and Adrienne who were awesome!!!

My family and I loved our stay (we wished we could stay longer). Everything was great from the moment we checked in to the last moment when we checked out. All the staff were very accommodating and friendly. It reminded us why we love staying at this hotel because it makes us feel at home. The room we stayed at was perfect for us! It was exactly what we needed (not to mention we got to have our fur baby with us since this hotel were one of the few hotels that allowed pet). We will surely be back! My family were very pleased with our recent visit.

Traveling to the Philippines for the first time ever on business, from the moment I walked into the spacious Discovery lobby, and was greeted by the smiling faces of the team at reception, I felt welcome and at home. I'm not a VIP, but I certainly felt like one from the special attention provided to me by all the team members -from the restaurant, lounge and terrace bar - espcially team-members Alexander, Angela and Mark who made sure I was taken care of. On the day that I left with the driver back to the airport to return to my real home in Ireland, a bag with a to-go cup of coffee - black, just the way I like it - was waiting for me at the front desk. My four-night visit was memory not to be forgotten. Five stars all the way. And a very special thank you to Miss Belle, the manager who made sure that a gift left for me by longtime friends who live in Manila, made its way to me. Thank you, all and I hope to return soon. And when I do, I know where I'll stay! …

One of the best hotels in the country. High-quality rooms, spacious with very soft and comfortable beds and pillows. The rain shower had a lovely pressure and there was even a TV by the bathtub, which I enjoyed a lot. The infinity pool has an excellent view of Makati. Overall, We had a great experience with Discovery Primea; the staff was amazing, friendly, and hospitable, the food was good and the amenities were superb. It was a perfect choice to celebrate a birthday weekend. I highly recommend this hotel, my family and I will definitely stay here again.
