Thank you for giving me the opportunity...
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to comment on my stay at the Dusit Thani in Manila. From the moment I stepped out of the taxi to the the day after my departure, the Dusit has totally impressed me with their first class professionalism. The two day stay was a great experience even though I was traveling alone. I felt safe and comfortable to be walking to the the two malls (Glorietta and SM) which are a block away. Every person in the hotel was always eager to please and without fail, greeted you with a smile. The facilities are in great condition and super clean. Clean is of utmost important to me, so I appreciated how the Dusit met my standards. There were two negative experiences I had at the hotel's Thai restaurant and its beauty salon. I would not recommend the Thai restaurant as the food was not that tasty and the chicken satay had to be sent back as it was under cooked. For the price, their portion sizes were stingy. Regarding the beauty salon, unless the Dusit has followed through on the comments I made on their survey, do not enter the Leonar beauty salon. If you insist, do not have a pedicure done by the older gentleman with the round glasses! It was the worst pedicure experience of my life and I wondered if he ever went to beauty school.... Also, the salon is very unorganized! The day after my departure, the Dusit followed through with a nice email letter of gratitude and requested a survey of my experience. I was glad to take the time out for this survey. All in all, I would highly recommend this hotel to any one who would like a first class experience. Thank you Dusit and AsiaRooms!

PS I learned from one of the AsiaRooms reviews to use the side door for a cheaper rate taxi. It's the side where the deli is....best to you!
