The SPLENDOR comfortable living by Awsom Phil Overview
You know what caught me off guard about The SPLENDOR comfortable living by Awsom Phil? It’s tucked away in this residential tower right by the MOA Complex, but honestly, that turned out to be one of its biggest advantages. I mean, you’re literally a stone’s throw from SM Mall of Asia – I could see the Ferris wheel from the unit’s window – but you’re not dealing with all the tourist chaos directly below you.
The place itself is more like staying in someone’s really well-appointed apartment than a traditional hotel, which makes sense given it’s in Shore 2 Residences. Unit 314 on Tower 1 has this surprisingly spacious layout, and whoever Phil is, he’s got decent taste in furnishings. The kitchen actually works (I tested it with some takeout from the food court), and there’s enough counter space to spread out if you’re the type who likes to eat breakfast while checking emails. What really impressed me was how quiet it stays at night – you’d think being this close to Seaside Boulevard would mean constant traffic noise, but the building’s positioned well enough that you mostly just get the distant hum of Pasay settling down for the evening.
The four-star rating feels about right, though I’d say it leans more toward the comfort side than luxury. The Wi-Fi is solid (crucial when you’re trying to upload vacation photos), and the air conditioning doesn’t sound like a jet engine, which – let’s be honest – isn’t always a given in this part of Manila. Getting around from here is pretty straightforward too; there’s decent parking if you’re driving, and if you’re not, the jeepney routes along Seaside Boulevard can get you pretty much anywhere you need to go. I actually walked to the bay area one morning, and it’s maybe a 10-minute stroll if you don’t mind weaving through the early commuter crowd. The area gets busy during mall hours, obviously, but mornings and late evenings have this nice residential vibe where you can actually hear the ocean if you listen for it. Phil’s clearly put thought into the little details – good water pressure, enough outlets for your devices, and the kind of blackout curtains that actually work when you want to sleep in after a long day exploring the city.
Many travelers prefer to book apartments in Manila through trusted local agencies that provide insider knowledge about the best districts for experiencing the city’s metropolitan atmosphere and colonial heritage.

Reviews of The SPLENDOR comfortable living by Awsom Phil
Very Good – Tecson from Canada – September 12, 2025 (8/10)
Our recent week-long stay at this hotel was truly fantastic, and a big part of that was due to the incredible staff. The hotel's amenities were great, but it was the personal touch and genuine helpfulness that made our experience so memorable.
We especially want to give a huge thank you to Myra. She went above and beyond to assist us throughout our stay. She was so kind and helpful, particularly when it came to convincing others. Her dedication and positive attitude made everything so much easier for us, and we truly appreciated her efforts. She is a real asset to your team.
We highly recommend this hotel, not just for its comfortable rooms and excellent location, but for the exceptional service
What could be improved: But only one time I asked a favor of the guy (maintenance) to fix our clogged toilet, but the guy refused. I even asked to borrow a plunger to do it myself, but he said to go to the main office and ask myself. Thankfully, there is a YouTube video to give us an idea of how to do it without a plunger.😅But other than that, everything was very good!Wonderful – Hera from Austria – August 9, 2025 (9/10)
I loved that the care taker(Ms.Myra) was very accomodating.She had given us all the important Infos that we needed.The Condotel was also very clean and cozy.
What could be improved: Actually almost nothing except for the shower,i had a hard time at first closing it but the next time i found out how it works.Exceptional – Imran from Saudi Arabia – August 5, 2025 (10/10)

Looking forward to staying here again! – Aian from Philippines – August 1, 2025 (10/10)
The host was very responsive to our needs even before check-in, providing clear instructions regarding parking and the check-in process. Ate Myra warmly greeted and assisted us upon arrival, ensuring we understood everything about the unit. She went above and beyond our expectations, making sure we received our drinking water, explaining how to use the amenities and facilities, and checking in with us throughout our stay. Even up until check-out, she ensured we had a smooth and enjoyable experience.
What could be improved: NoneMyra was wonderful! The property was centrally located. Needs some maintenance and upkeep. – Myra from United States – August 1, 2025 (8/10)
Myra (the caretaker) was wonderful! It’s centrally located and very close to stores, laundromat and MOA.
What could be improved: A bit tight for 7 people. You can hear the traffic from the bedroom. Blackout blinds would be very helpful in the bedrooms. Also, needing some maintenance and up keeping. The kitchen sink and bathroom sink are clogged. Quite a few furnitures in a tight space.Comfortable stay and reasonable price. – Ofelia from New Zealand – June 15, 2025 (9/10)
Ate Myra was very good waited for us until we settled in the room. Very handy to the airport
What could be improved: Need full set of bathroom things, like face clothExceptional – Richard from Philippines – June 9, 2025 (10/10)
Spacious especially for a big family. Ate Myra already prepared everything and would highly recommend it to everyone.
It was great and would come back again in the future. – Almamaria from United States – June 2, 2025 (10/10)
The location is great and it is near the airport, and everything else I need is walking distant.
