It's self-service.

In the evening they have someone mixing alcohol but you can also do self-service.

Private Transport Prices
 

I inquired how much private transport was from T3 to Manila Marriott and they are premium $$$Teminal 1 and 2:

Passat PHP 2,675 .00 net per car per way

Starex Van PHP 2,975.00 net per car per way



Terminal 3:

Passat PHP 1,980.00 net per car per way

Starex Van PHP 2,300.00 net per car per way

Hope this info helps!

Suffice it to say, these prices are not a good deal. It’s also about a 10 minute walk from T3 if you don’t have much luggage all for a price of 0.0 net.

is this still running & accurate?

The last I hear it was only every hour.

But even if it was every minute I would not recommend taking it as the queues to get into the main entrances to T3 can be very long. Much better to enter the terminal via the Runway Manila, There are free minibuses to the entrance (or just walk if not too much luggage as it is only a 5 minute walk).

If money is no option then the hotel will do an airport pick up. I cant remember what they charge it is basically daylight robbery for such a short journey but it would be by far the easiest option.

Thanks, I actually ended up booking it with the hotel for PHP 2,650. I previously used Runway Manila, so it does pain me a bit knowing how close it is for the price, but to be honest, making it painless with baby and wife with me is worth it!

I did something similar with my wife and 10yo but to the Sheraton. I was able to arrange this via chat once checkin was open on the app. A simple request and I soon corresponded via email with the concierge. When I last arrived MNL solo I just used the coupon taxi outside arrivals, but with family in tow it was worth the extra cost.

Has anyone stayed here lately? What's the breakfast and elite recognition like? Is there a lounge with an evening food spread? I'm a Titanium Elite. CX flies out of T3, IIRC. How long is the walk to T3?

How long is the walk to the Mall of Asia? I think walking might be a better option if traffic is bad.

Yes, CX uses T3. if you are traveling light and it's a nice day (not rainy), use RUNWAY MANILA, the covered bridge to the Resorts World area, where the Marriott is. After leaving arrival customs area, turn right and follow signs to "RUNWAY MANILA." Take the escalator or elevator to L2 (or L3?) And follow signs again to cross the bridge. At the other side, go down to street level. I know there are shuttles sometimes (not sure if this has been reinstated post-pandemic), but the Belmont hotel is right across; in front of that, across another road is the Marriott. Very close.

IF you have heavy luggage and boxes etc., take Grab or a taxi or arrange for the hotel to pick you up. (PHP!)

Mall of ASIA is FAR from Marriott/Resorts World. (Resorts World is a casino/shopping/cinema complex next to Marriott.) Again, use Grab or take a taxi. There is a Skyway (add'l small toll fee), that should make the trip quicker. (Avoid rush hour though, 430-8pm.)

Enjoy your stay!

I know you asked this a few months ago, but being a frequent patron of the Marriott I thought I would answer these questions for people in the future. Elite recognition is great and I often get a room upgrade, especially if I am staying only 1 night. They have an amazing lounge with great staff that serves food that blows any US Marriott out of the water. I agree with previous post on T3 and taking the skywalk if weather is good. As for Mall of Asia, it is not even remotely walkable. You must take a taxi and it will take about 30 mins to get there.

Hello, heading to MNL for the first time in a few days and staying at this Marriott. I will only have a rollaboard. I am flying on UA and arrive at around 6am. This seems ok for a walk to the hotel using the bridge, and outdoors the rest, yes? And check in at West Wing? (I am a Titanium member).

I depart a few days later at 8:30am on UA as well. Is it better to get car service on this one, or is a walk at 6:30am bearable and not too sweaty?

I have posted upthread (Post # 145) about doing this very thing in February 2020. If it is rainy and one is burdened with heavy luggage, not such a great idea.

But you have the optimal bag. Not only that, but it has been very dry over the past week. (I have been in Manila for the past month.) Walking to the Manila Marriott Hotel upon arrival next week is highly recommended. :cool:

As for departing a few days later, that somewhat depends on individual perspiration levels. Alternatives include getting a ride the "long way" to Terminal 3, or a short ride to the bridge, and walking the last bit. You can check options, which may or may not include a free shuttle on the short ride, when you are there.

Once you get inside the pedestrian bridge, everything is air conditioned. :idea:

Excellent, and thank you!
