Netflix, Destina Stays at Jazz Residences Makati, MetroManila

Netflix, Destina Stays at Jazz Residences Makati, MetroManila Overview

First Impressions

Walking into Netflix, Destina Stays at Jazz Residences Makati feels like stepping into someone’s well-appointed city apartment rather than a typical hotel lobby. The four-star property sits right in the heart of Makati’s business district, and honestly, the location alone makes it worth considering. You’re essentially in Manila’s equivalent of Manhattan — everything you need is within walking distance, from upscale malls to some of the city’s best restaurants. The building itself has that modern residential vibe that’s become popular in Metro Manila, with clean lines and plenty of glass.

The Makati Advantage

Here’s what I love about staying at Netflix, Destina Stays — you’re positioned perfectly to experience Manila like a local rather than a tourist. Greenbelt and Glorietta shopping centers are practically next door, but more importantly, you’re close to the real gems like Legazpi Sunday Market and the quieter side streets where you’ll find authentic Filipino food. The Ayala Museum is a short walk away, and if you need to get around the city, the MRT station is easily accessible. Couples seem to get this location thing — they consistently rate it above 9 out of 10, which makes sense when you realize how much time you save not sitting in Manila’s notorious traffic.

Living Space and Comfort

The accommodations feel more like serviced apartments than hotel rooms, which works brilliantly for longer stays or when you want some independence. Each unit comes with a kitchenette that’s actually functional — not one of those token setups with a mini-fridge and nothing else. The living areas are spacious enough that you won’t feel cramped, even if you’re traveling with someone and need to spread out your stuff. What really impressed me was the attention to detail in the furnishings; everything feels contemporary without being cold or impersonal.

Neighborhood Life

One thing you’ll notice about this area is how it transforms throughout the day. Mornings bring the business crowd rushing to nearby offices, but evenings shift to a more relaxed pace with people heading to dinner or drinks. The Jazz Residences building sits on Nicanor Garcia, which is quieter than the main Ayala Avenue but still connected to everything. You can grab coffee at local chains or venture to smaller cafes tucked into the surrounding streets. There’s also a good mix of international and Filipino dining options within a few blocks — from high-end restaurants to casual spots where locals actually eat.

Why Guests Love It

The combination of location, space, and that residential feel seems to hit the sweet spot for most visitors. You’re not dealing with the chaos of tourist-heavy areas, but you’re also not stuck somewhere remote where you need to plan every outing. The property consistently scores well because it delivers on the basics — clean, comfortable spaces in an excellent location — without trying to be something it’s not. For couples especially, having that apartment-style setup means you can have quiet mornings with coffee before heading out to explore, or wind down in the evening without feeling like you’re in a generic hotel room. It’s the kind of place that makes Manila feel manageable, even if it’s your first time in the city.

Manila’s apartments offer modern accommodations with city views, perfect for families wanting to experience daily life in this culturally rich Philippine capital city.

• Bad – Nathuan from Italy – June 14, 2024 (1/10)

  What could be improved: Maybe the apartment can be ok for 2 or 3 nights, but not for a long stay like mine. Anyway, for me, it was pretty dirty when I arrived, even for a 1-night stay. We know that Western cleaning standards are different. This apartment needs an in depth cleaning, undoubtedly. I attached some pics that show that it hasn't been thoroughly cleaned for a long time (but my pics aren't uploaded, in general). I wasn't going to make a review and waste time with this, but I think it's good for future guests with high hygiene standards to know. I have lived traveling for many years now and I book most of my accommodation through this platform,so they know how I rate properties and that I'm a responsible guest. I don't book once or twice a year, I book every week. Most of my reviews are good, except when hosts are dishonest and properties aren't up to the standard. I found 3 cockroaches in the apartment, even if there wasn't food inside. But it's because the building is full of cockroaches. I bought some juice from the shopping mall downstairs and there was a cockroach on the counter while I was waiting. There was another next to my ID on the reception counter during my check out. The lady hadn't even noticed it, because for them it's normal. They live among cockroaches. I didn't leave my passport and reception and would have never done it. You don't have to give them your passport. Your passport is your only valid ID in a foreign country. They shouldn't be allowed to have guests' passports. But security guards in Manila think they are gods. Please don't give them your passport. I gave them a credential i have and they couldn't find it when I had to leave. They can't be trusted. The garbage room in each floor is gross! Also because it's very hot and if they don't collect the garbage quickly, the putrid stench is horrible. Only 2 elevators working for many floors and apartments.
