Catch up with dad in a much-deserved staycation with Marriott Manila’s special room package this Father’s Day for only P13,414. After all, we may have gotten too preoccupied with work and school lately that times spent with dad have become few and far between.
Make dad’s day extra special with an overnight stay from June 16 to 20 at a Deluxe Room inclusive of P2,000 food and beverage credits, a surprise welcome gift, and beer especially for dad.
For the fitness buff dad, Manila Marriott’s Health Club offers a family membership for two members, inclusive of unlimited use of the gym, pool, locker and wet floor facilities at both Manila Marriott’s Main Hotel and the West Wing.

Marriott’s Sunday Brunch 2.0 offers rock lobsters, prime steaks and the finest cheeses just to name a few.
Whoever said dads do not need pampering? For an hour and a half, Manila Marriott’s Quan Spa can revitalize and soothe dad’s tired muscles with the De-Stress massage. The treatment begins with a therapeutic warm Moor mud to soothe his muscles and joints, followed by a massage enhanced with micro-emulsified oil that also nourishes and repairs the skin, making dad look and feel younger than before.
As an added bonus, Manila Marriott is a stone’s throw from Villamor Air Base Golf Course. Indulge your dad in a round of golf to allow him to unwind.
