Of course a proper staycation is not complete without food!!! 🙂 Breakfast buffet with Cucina is included with the room package.

CUCINA

As mentioned, 2 complimentary breakfast buffets with Cucina is included with the room.

What I love about this buffet or with the hotel in general, is that they provide healthy nutritious drinks almost everywhere. In the spa, pool area, gym. More importantly, they have it freely around the buffet area.

This is awesome! I know how expensive a jar of Fruit Garden Jams is… Having it as complimentary is a very high note for me.

I love Taho, they have it as part of their buffet, together with Champorado, Arroz Caldo and other comforting dishes.

CONNECT LOUNGE

Connect Lounge is perfect for people who wants to have a meeting outside of the office. They have an elegant open space where people can work, have coffee, and not be bothered with other noisy patrons.

There were actually people having meetings in Connect Lounge the last time I visited. Hope I didn’t bother them though.

From 02:00PM to 06:00PM, Connect Lounge offers Afternoon Tea that is pretty much good for two. 🙂

It includes a pot of tea, that can be shared by two people.

Also it includes assorted pastries, sandwiches, fruits, and breads, all for only Php650.

The BEST Caesar Salad I had in the longest time. 🙂 Because I am on a diet, mom and my younger sister shared the Afternoon Tea Set, and I just decided to order a Caesar Salad. The best decision ever! Did you see how HUGE those prawns are? Still craving for this… 🙂

VU’S SKY BAR AND LOUNGE

We ended our first night with Vu’s Sky Bar and Lounge, located on the 45th floor of Marco Polo Ortigas Manila.

I had the Diving Mousike, which was inspired by Destileria Limtuaco’s APEC cocktail.

Mom had a mocktail since she is allergic to alcohol.

CAFE PRONTO

I have featured Cafe Pronto once before on the blog (here), where they offered on-the-go sandwiches.

Cafe Pronto is located on the first floor of Marco Polo Ortigas Manila, and is the hotel’s coffee shop. Here they offer sandwiches, pastries, coffee, and even gelato.
