Maddie's Place: Manila's BEST Azure Urban Resort Getaway!
Alright, buckle up, buttercups, because we're diving HEADFIRST into Maddie's Place: Manila's BEST Azure Urban Resort Getaway! Forget the perfectly polished brochures, I’m about to give you the REAL DEAL. This ain't your grandma's hotel review, folks.
First Impressions: Azure, Azure, Everywhere!
Okay, so you know those Instagram photos of Azure? The ones with the ridiculously turquoise pools and the gleaming white buildings? Maddie's Place IS that. Seriously, it feels like stepping onto a movie set dedicated to… well, looking fabulous. The whole Azure Urban Resort concept is… a LOT. And, honestly? Great marketing. You get instant 'grammable value.
Accessibility: The Good, The Okay, and the "Needs Improvement"
Let's get real, accessibility is HUGE. Maddie's Place claims to have facilities for disabled guests. Now, I didn't personally test every single nook and cranny with a wheelchair, but the website mentions things like elevators. This is one of those categories that NEEDS a deeper dive. I’ll put a note in the next review to get the gritty details because, let's be honest, we need to know. The front desk is 24-hour, which is a HUGE plus, and there is a doorman (always a nice touch).
Rooms & Amenities: Where the Magic Happens (Mostly)
My room? chef's kiss. The non-smoking room was a lifesaver (smokers, you have designated areas, and good riddance!). Air conditioning? Blast it! Necessary in Manila. And the free Wi-Fi in room? THANK YOU, WIFI GODS! I also loved having complimentary tea and coffee, because I need caffeine to function. The in-room safe? Essential. You're in a city – protect your stuff!
The bathrobes were fluffy, the slippers were comfy, and the blackout curtains meant I could sleep off that jet lag. The mini-bar… well, let's just say it was tempting. I resisted. This time. Other nice-to-have’s? Daily housekeeping is a godsend, daily bottled water should be standard, and having an ironing service is fantastic (wrinkly clothes are the enemy!).
Now, here's a mini-mishap: my room decor didn't exactly scream "luxury" (a little more character would be nice), but the bed was comfotable, the extra long bed was fantastic, but the separate shower/bathtub was a win! And I loved the wake-up service!
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: A Culinary Adventure (with a Few Hiccups)
Alright, the food situation… Let's start with the positives. The poolside bar is everything. Sipping on a cocktail with that Azure view? Pure bliss. There are restaurants on-site, which is handy, and they offer Asian cuisine as well as international cuisine, allowing you to eat a diverse cultural cuisine.
They offer breakfast [buffet] and Asian breakfast, a nice touch to start the day. And they have coffee/tea in restaurant!
BUT… the availability of vegetarian restaurant, still a work in progress.
Wellness and Relaxation: Spa Day or Bust!
Okay, THIS is where Maddie's Place really shines. The pool with view? Iconic. The swimming pool [outdoor] is massive and perfect for a full day of swimming. The spa itself… ahhh. I treated myself to a massage at the Spa/sauna was delightful, with the sauna and steamroom making the entire experience extra special. I didn't get a body scrub or body wrap but honestly, I was perfectly content as I was. The gym/fitness is on site, but I opted for sunshine and relaxation this time.
Cleanliness and Safety: Feeling Safe and Sound
This is HUGE, especially these days. Maddie's Place seems to take Covid safety seriously. They have professional-grade sanitizing services, rooms sanitized between stays, daily disinfection in common areas, and staff trained in safety protocol. Hand sanitizer is everywhere, and they have anti-viral cleaning products. The safe dining setup made me feel comfortable. They've got CCTV in common areas and outside the property.
Services and Conveniences: Making Life Easier
Daily housekeeping is a game-changer. The concierge was super helpful. The laundry service was quick and efficient. The currency exchange came in handy. And the luggage storage allowed me to explore without lugging my suitcase around.
Things to Do: Beyond the Pool
While I was there primarily for relaxation, I noticed that there were indoor venue for special events and outdoor venue for special events. They also have facilities for meetings, seminars, and business facilities, and that is a huge asset.
For the Kids: Family-Friendly Vibes
There are kids facilities and babysitting service available, so the kiddos can have as much fun as the parents!
The Annoying Bits (Because Let’s Be Honest)
- I WISH they had a better selection of food at the pool bar. Some more snack options would be fantastic, and maybe a desserts in restaurant.
The Bottom Line: Book It or Not?
Maddie's Place is NOT perfect, but it's darn close. It's a fantastic choice for a relaxing getaway, especially if you love a beautiful pool and a good spa treatment. Book it? Absolutely. Just go in knowing it's got a few imperfections, and you'll have a blast!

Luxury Redefined: Jageer Palace Hotel - Your Delhi NCR Oasis Awaits
Okay, buckle up, buttercups, because this isn't your average, perfectly-polished travel itinerary. This is Maddie's Place at Azure Urban Resort Paranaque Manila, unfiltered, and trust me, it's going to be a wild ride. Let's dive in, shall we?
Day 1: Arrival, Azure-fied, and a Questionable Pizza
1:00 PM - Arrival & Check-in: (The "Oh God, is this really a condo?")
- Okay, so the flight was a nightmare - screaming baby, turbulence, and me, clutching my neck pillow like it was a life raft. Finally landed, and we piled into the Grab car, bracing ourselves for the Manila traffic. When we reach Azure, I was immediately impressed. This resort is like something from a movie!
- The check-in process was… let's say "efficient" (read: not particularly friendly). The lobby was absolutely beautiful; now, this is a perfect start to the vacation! The rooms looked like the pictures, a big win for me!
2:30 PM - Room Exploration & Initial Panic: (Did I remember my charger?)
- Unpacked, which involved a minor existential crisis when I realized I packed ALL the wrong shoes (seriously, what WAS I thinking?). Also, major panic as I rummage through my carry-on-- WHERE'S THE CHARGER? The universal traveler's fear, honestly. Found it! Crisis averted. Time to explore the "beach."
3:30 PM - The Lagoon & Attempted Relaxation: (More Like, "Where's the shade?")
- The Azure lagoon is breathtaking! I mean, it’s absolutely stunning, a true azure. I even tried reading my book, but the sun was brutal. Within five minutes, I was sweating and desperately searching for a little shade. Note to self: invest in a REALLY big hat.
6:00 PM - Pizza Time! (And a Lesson in Filipino Patience)
- We decided to order pizza from a place that claimed to be 'the best'. After an hour wait on delivery, our pizza arrived. I took a bite, and my face might have contorted into a grimace. "Edible," I declared diplomatically. The crust was oddly doughy, and the toppings were… well, let's just say I wouldn't be writing home about them.
7:00 PM - Pool side Chill: (The People-Watching Olympics begins!)
- While waiting for the pizza, I was observing the people around me. There was a family of a million; the teenagers were buried in their phones. I also saw a couple of lovebirds, holding hands and whispering sweet nothings. I was just taking in every moment.
Day 2: Getting Wet, Getting Weird, and Getting Overwhelming
9:00 AM - Wake-up Call: (The "Oh-my-god-sunshine" moment)
- Woke up to the sun shining in through the window. It felt more inviting than the previous day, even though I know it'll feel as brutal.
10:00 AM - Breakfast at the Resort: (Buffet Bliss and a Surprise)
- The breakfast buffet was the real deal, I love buffets, and this didn't disappoint. I got a plate of pancakes and bacon; I had to resist the urge to go back for seconds.
11:00 AM - The Wave Pool Debacle (Or, "I Think My Hair Is Now Cement.")
- Okay, the wave pool. I was excited. Really. Big mistake. The waves were intense (or maybe I'm just old now). My hair, I swear, is still crunchy from the chlorine. Lost my sunglasses. Face-planted. The whole experience was simultaneously exhilarating and mortifying. I'll stick to the lagoon from now on!
1:00 PM - Lunch & Regroup: (Seeking out Comfort)
- After that wild pool experience, I needed something familiar and comfortable. After an hour, I found a place that was selling burgers, I ordered my favorite meal.
3:00 PM - Condo Exploration: (A Bit of retail therapy)
- I decided to go out to the nearby mall. I checked out lots of shops with the intention of buying something.
6:00 PM - Sunset View: (The One Thing That Redeems All Errors)
- I walked back to the condo to watch the sunset, this time I was on the top floor and it was the best scenic views.
Day 3: Recovery, Reflecting, and the Great Escape
9:00 AM - Sleeping: (Need More rest)
- Woke up extra early after having a tiring experience the previous day.
10:00 AM - Breakfast & Planning (The "How do I get out of here?")
- I ate some cereal and toast, and got ready to go back home.
11:00 AM - Check-Out and Goodbye:
- Packing up and going home, I felt like I was leaving a piece of me behind.
Random Ramblings & Emotional Reactions:
- The Humidity: It's a constant companion. I feel like I'm perpetually damp.
- The Food: Some hits, some misses. I'm still dreaming of finding the perfect adobo.
- The People: Filipinos are unbelievably friendly and helpful. Makes up for a lot.
- Overall Vibe: Azure is a fun place to be.
Final Verdict:
Would I come back to Azure? Probably. I loved it. The people were wonderful, and the condo itself was amazing.
