The Beacon Makati

Upon entering the property, you can already see from afar, a candy wrapper under the bed, it’s dusty. Theres also an empty pack of cigarette inside the cabinet. Bidet is broken. I booked for 2 adult. The bed too small for 2 adult, its just a little bigger than a single bed with a thin and small blanket that you can hardly share for two people. There is a pull out bed but no extra beddings provided and it’s dusty as well. I booked for 7 days but ended up staying for 2 nights only because we really can’t sleep. I reached out to the host but got no reply. Once, you’ve check in she’s done her business with you.

Location

Host approved early check-in at 5 am after my 16 hour flight. Was supposed to send directions 24 hours before arrival and how to get into the apartment but never did. Security at the front desk had no idea about anything going on. It took over an hour to finally contact the Host. Then she wanted to charge me 200 for every hour before 3 PM (10 hours) for early check-in. She argued with me on the phone for an hour saying it was the policy but booking.com does not show that in the policy the host posted and it was never mentioned that early check-in was going to cost 200 per hour.

Everything was convenient. Groceries can be acquired with just a short walk from the building.

The property needs to be more accurate on the address. Booking.com address for property is different. I would have never found out if I didn’t google the property a week before check in because I got an email stating that I never prepaid which I already did 3 months in advance. The property has 3 independent towers with their own front desk. I was never informed which tower I was staying in and when I tried to check in the first tower(not knowing there were 2 more in the back) they told me I did not have any reservation. That would make a person mad especially when it is already prepaid. Property needs to be more specific and informative to their future guests.

Accessible and easy to find

i saw atleast 3 small cockroaches 😅

We had a minor issue with the booking initially, but it was resolved promptly. Shey, my point of contact, and Rain, the unit owner, were both incredibly approachable and attentive to our requests. The room was very spacious, and the condo’s facilities were excellent—I especially loved the pool and sauna. Our family had a wonderful stay, and we’ll definitely be back!
