The Fountain is what most people talk about first. A multicolor dancing water feature spanning roughly 37,464 square metres — the resort's own site calls it the largest of its kind in the world, an area equivalent to around 50 Olympic-sized swimming pools. Underwater robotics, more than 2,000 lights, high-fidelity speakers and over 700 high-power jets capable of shooting water beyond the height of the hotel building itself are choreographed to music and framed by the Crystal Corridor and Crystal Pavilion, according to Okada Manila's official site. Nothing quite like it exists at another Manila resort, which is why it tends to anchor most descriptions of the property before anything else does. Beyond the spectacle, Traveloka's own listing confirms the practical scale behind it: 993 rooms across 19 floors, carrying a 5-star rating.
Set inside Entertainment City along Manila Bay, Okada Manila shares its precinct with several other large integrated resorts, though Traveloka's listing and the official site both single out the same two distinguishing factors — the sheer room count and The Fountain itself — as what sets it apart from its neighbours. Outstanding guest reviews on Traveloka's listing sit at the top end for large resort-casino properties in the area and points to consistently positive feedback across the amenity set described further below. Taken together — the Fountain feature, the room count and that review score — Australian travellers weighing up Entertainment City options get a fairly complete first impression of Okada Manila before drilling into room types, facilities and dining.
592 square feet is the floor of the size ladder at Okada Manila — that's the footprint the official site lists for the entry-level Deluxe Room, and every other category on property is measured as a step up from that baseline.
The entry-level category at 592 square feet, per the official site, fitted with climate control and quality bathroom fixtures as confirmed by Traveloka's listing.
Okada Manila's official site states that every accommodation within the Pearl Wing includes a free-standing Jacuzzi set in the middle of a marble bathroom, positioned to take in views of Manila Bay, the Manila skyline, or The Fountain through floor-to-ceiling windows.
At the opposite end sits the Podium Villas, topping out at 15,069 square feet according to the official site — more than 25 times the floor area of the entry-level Deluxe Room.
Exact per-room bed configurations across the remaining mid-tier categories aren't detailed in the sources available beyond room size, so guests with specific bedding needs should confirm at time of booking.
Air conditioning and WiFi connectivity come standard across the property, Traveloka's listing confirms, alongside the quality bathroom fixtures noted above. Since the official site presents the Deluxe Room as the entry point of the ladder and treats the Pearl Wing categories — including the Podium Villas — as the upper tiers, guests comparing room categories on Traveloka should treat Deluxe as the base option and the Pearl Wing suites and villas as the step-up choice for anyone specifically wanting the Jacuzzi bathrooms or higher floor views over Manila Bay or The Fountain. No detailed size or amenity table exists for every category between these two published extremes, so travellers with particular space or bedding requirements should check the specific room description shown at checkout rather than assuming size scales evenly.
A dedicated kids' club with babysitting sits on the amenity list alongside the casino floor and Fountain grounds — not something every resort in Entertainment City offers — and it's just one entry in a list that, per Traveloka's own listing, runs long: a swimming pool, fitness centre, spa, massage services, casino, sauna, hot tub, garden, conference rooms, a business centre, airport transfer, car rental, and multilingual staff at the front desk and concierge.
The property is also wheelchair accessible and has medical service on-site, per Traveloka's listing, which designates both non-smoking rooms and smoking areas.
Day-to-day conveniences round out the picture: a 24-hour front desk, on-site parking, WiFi in public areas, lift/elevator access, laundry service, 24-hour security, room service, golf facilities, and airport transfer and car rental arrangements that can be organised through the property, all confirmed by Traveloka's listing. Guests comparing Okada Manila against other Entertainment City resorts on Traveloka's hotel listings may find this combination of casino-resort scale plus practical services — laundry, medical service, multilingual staff and round-the-clock security — a useful point of difference from smaller properties in the same precinct that don't offer the same breadth of services on-site. As with the room categories above, guests wanting confirmation of a specific facility's current availability or operating hours should check the listing at the time of booking, since amenity offerings at large resorts can be adjusted or temporarily unavailable.
Entertainment City is the drawcard here — a designated casino and integrated-resort precinct along Manila Bay, part of Aseana City in Tambo, Parañaque, and that's exactly where Okada Manila sits, on New Seaside Drive. The area sits a manageable drive from Ninoy Aquino International Airport, and Australian travellers can compare flights to Manila on Traveloka when planning arrival around the resort's 3pm check-in. Several other major resort-casino properties sit within a short drive too, making it straightforward to compare dining and entertainment options across neighbouring hotels during a longer Manila stay; Traveloka's activities and tours listings can help fill out a Manila Bay-area itinerary beyond the resort grounds.
Because Entertainment City and the adjoining Aseana City precinct were purpose-built around a cluster of integrated resorts, most of the area's other major hotels — including several profiled in the Other Popular Hotels section below — sit within a similarly short drive of Okada Manila. Getting between properties for dinner or entertainment doesn't typically require crossing much of Metro Manila, though travellers arriving from the airport should budget some contingency time for Manila traffic, particularly around peak periods, since travel times along Roxas Boulevard and the surrounding arterial roads can vary noticeably depending on time of day.
Casual snacks or a formal sit-down meal — Okada Manila's dining program, as described on the official site and confirmed in Traveloka's own listing, covers multiple restaurant, café, bar, poolside bar and nightclub venues on-site, plus buffet, set-menu and à la carte options for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Guests wanting to venture beyond the resort will find additional dining options within a short drive across the wider Entertainment City and Aseana City precinct, and those keen to build a longer day out around the resort can also look at activities and tours on Traveloka to round out a Manila Bay-area itinerary between meals.
Breakfast inclusion isn't fixed across the board. Traveloka's listing indicates that some room bookings include breakfast while others carry it as an additional charge, so guests wanting to confirm whether their specific reservation includes it should check the rate details at the time of booking rather than assume it is bundled by default. Given the number of on-site venues confirmed across the property, most guests should be able to find both casual and more formal dining options without needing to leave the resort grounds during a stay.
Casino floor, water-show spectacle, spa and multiple dining rooms — few Manila properties let a guest cover all of that without ever leaving the building, and that's really the case for Okada Manila. The Fountain's nightly performance sets the tone, backed by a large casino floor, an extensive dining program and a spa and wellness offering, while very strong guest reviews on Traveloka's own listing suggest guests consistently rate the experience highly. Scale plays a part too: at nearly 1,000 rooms, the resort can comfortably absorb everything from short business stopovers to longer leisure stays, and the Pearl Wing's Jacuzzi-equipped suites give travellers wanting bay or skyline views a clear step up from the standard category.
Its combination of scale and on-site services — a 24-hour front desk, round-the-clock security, medical service, multilingual staff and concierge, alongside the recreation and dining options covered above — also makes it a reasonably low-friction choice for travellers who would rather not plan much outside the resort during a stay. For guests deciding between Okada Manila and one of the neighbouring resorts, the main differentiators according to the sources reviewed here are the scale of The Fountain feature itself, the size of the property's casino floor, and the strong guest review score, rather than any one dining venue or amenity that isn't also broadly available at comparable Entertainment City properties.
As one of the larger integrated resorts in Entertainment City, Okada Manila is worth booking ahead around major events or long weekends, when both rooms and Fountain-viewing spots can fill up quickly. It's also worth comparing other Entertainment City hotel options on Traveloka before finalising a booking, and checking cancellation and payment terms across room categories, since flexibility can differ between the Deluxe entry-level rooms and the Pearl Wing suites and villas. Booking through Traveloka also makes it straightforward to manage the flight and accommodation sides of a Manila trip in one place, which can simplify planning for a multi-stop Philippines itinerary that includes an Entertainment City stay.
Entertainment City and the surrounding Parañaque area are home to several major integrated resorts alongside Okada Manila, each with its own casino, dining and entertainment draw. Here are some other well-reviewed properties worth comparing in the same area.
