Okada Manila
A glittering casino resort on Manila Bay, where Filipino hospitality meets high-stakes glamour.
Overview
Okada Manila rises from Entertainment City like a golden palace. Its waterfront position, vast gaming floor and signature fountain show make it one of the most photographed casino hotels in Southeast Asia.
During our stay, the resort felt lively without feeling chaotic. The staff were attentive, the public spaces were immaculate and the scale of the property genuinely impressed. For travellers who want a full casino holiday with every comfort close at hand, Okada Manila is difficult to beat.

Accommodation
The rooms at Okada Manila are generous, even by luxury resort standards. From the Deluxe King to the grandest suites, every accommodation offers floor-to-ceiling windows, marble bathrooms and a calming palette of cream, gold and soft grey.
Our room overlooked Manila Bay and included a deep soaking tub, separate rain shower and premium bedding. Housekeeping was precise and twice-daily service kept everything pristine. The pillow menu and turndown treats added a personal touch.
Guests who book suites gain access to the Pearl Lounge, where complimentary breakfast, afternoon tea and evening cocktails are served in an intimate atmosphere. It is worth the upgrade for travellers who prefer a quieter start to their casino day.
Casino & Table Games
The casino at Okada Manila is vast, elegant and buzzing with energy. The floor is divided into salons for different moods and budgets, from the lively main pit to more private, high-limit rooms.
Gaming offer
The casino offers hundreds of slot machines and a wide range of table games. Baccarat dominates the floor, with both midi and mini tables open around the clock. Blackjack, roulette, sic bo and poker are also well represented.
Atmosphere
Lighting is warm and low, the carpet is plush and the air smells subtly of a signature fragrance. Dealers are professional and patient, and the table games pit is never under-staffed, even in the early hours.

The high-limit salons feel genuinely exclusive. Guests can request private rooms for baccarat, with dedicated dealers and discreet food and beverage service. For serious table games players, this is one of the best setups in Manila.
Dining & Entertainment
Okada Manila does not let its guests go hungry. The resort hosts a collection of restaurants covering Japanese, Chinese, Italian and Filipino cuisines. Enbu and Goryeo are standouts, while the all-day dining outlet provides a reliable buffet.
The Fountain is the resort's signature spectacle. This choreographed water-and-light show runs every evening and is visible from multiple restaurants and the bay-facing rooms. It is a memorable piece of entertainment, and it is free for hotel guests and visitors.
Cove Manila, the beach club by day and nightlife venue by night, adds a party atmosphere. The hotel also has bars, lounges and a theatre-style performance space, so the casino resort functions as a complete leisure destination.
