City of Dreams Manila - Luxury Hotel Resort & Casino in Metro Manila, Philippines

There is a lot of space filled with various slot machines, gaming tables and other types of gambling activities. The live music was a bit questionable, but that's a matter of taste. Nevertheless, the atmosphere was very pleasant.

The place was very cold once you go inside, so you should bring a jacket if you don't want to get cold there. The staff only allow people 21 and above to play in the casino areas, in addition to that, they also don't allow you to take photos and record videos inside the casino areas, as it is strictly prohibited. But l heard from the people who are allowed inside the casino areas that the staff offers you free beer, coke and iced tea. Most of the restaurants are at the 2nd floor, but they are really high-priced, and the cuisine varies by restaurants (Korean, Filipino, etc.) If you go to the other end in the 2nd floor, you can find DreamPlay, which is a theme park for kids. There are also luxury brands located on the second floor. It is advisable to visit this casino around 6-10PM on the weekdays.

If you're going to lose 21,000 pesos in one night, you might as well be doing it with our friends, Ben, John and Darwin. Although Ryan is kind of mean, so avoid him if he comes to the table. The high roller table is definitely a vibe.

IMPORTANT: If you are a student, don’t say so because you’ll get escorted out and banned. And you’ll have to hope they got short term memory loss before you get back in. BUT, if you’re an INTERNATIONAL student abroad, show them your passport at the member counter and state that you’re an INTERNATIONAL STUDENT. And that PAGOR laws does not apply to you as a foreigner as PAGOR law ONLY applies to local Filipinos. COD gets a 2 star for the 30 minutes of arguing I had to go through, two security checks, and another ten minutes of asking me nonsense about if I’m really the person on my own passport. I’ve emailed a complaint to them citing their staff’s lack of knowledge and lack of experience with dealing with this situation. Apart from that, I just play slots and baccarat. It’s nothing special. Good atmosphere and I usually hang out at the free band area they have at the middle. COD management if you’re reading this, I do hope you improve your employee’s knowledge on foreign students.

They have a digital craps table that you can throw at if you are into that kind of thing. This place and resorts world are the big two casinos in Manila worth going to. I come here often and it’s clean safe and friendly. They don’t let you wear hats (kinda weird) but it is what it is I guess.

If you don’t gamble you’ll get bored quickly. Amazing pool and garden area between the 3 hotels. Restaurants on upper ground floor offer many varieties of food.

The place is so nice, There are parts also for kids, not only for gamble type, but you may go around and check for other place to stay on, A lot of parking(free)

City of Dreams Manila: Luxurious Stay with a Stunning Pool & Spacious Rooms I had a fantastic stay at City of Dreams Manila! From the moment I arrived, the experience felt elevated. The pool area is absolutely beautiful—peaceful, well-designed, and perfect for lounging or a refreshing swim. The room was incredibly spacious, even larger than the Grand Hyatt in BGC, which really surprised me in the best way. It felt luxurious, comfortable, and thoughtfully laid out. The staff were professional and welcoming throughout my stay. While I do wish there were more restaurant options on-site, the quality of what was available was great. Just a note: Grab delivery isn’t allowed, so keep that in mind. Thankfully, Allya Mall is only a five-minute walk away, and it offers a bit more variety for dining and shopping. Overall, it was a wonderful experience—stylish, relaxing, and high-end. I'd absolutely return and recommend it to anyone looking for a staycation or a quick escape within the city.
