Sheraton Manila Bay provides a modern base with strong soundproofing and extensive dining options. Guests consistently praise the attentive lounge staff and the high-quality breakfast and lunch buffets. However, reviewers note that the TVs lack smart streaming capabilities like Netflix, some rooms omit bathtubs, and the front desk can become chaotic during large events. 153
