Vive Hotel

My wife, son & I stayed at the Vive over New Years. The staff were polite & helpful, the hotel clean with a modern look & nice fresh continental breakfast each morning. We had the Cosmopolitan Family Suite with two queen sized beds & two baths. It was nice, roomy & quiet. The room came with mini-tablets that showed a welcome message & had info for travelers about the area. The beds were comfortable & we slept well. The air conditioners worked well but seemed a bit worn. We were on the 9th floor but sadly did not have a view to enjoy. Mainly other building to look at. Beach equipment was available to us when we went to the beach just 3 short blocks away. It was well used but still good. The only option for parking was valet parking for $25/day. Overall we liked the hotel & felt it was good value. We’ll stay there again in the future when we go to Honolulu.

We booked one room at vive using credit card and the charge was being deducted already the night before we check in ,but when we got there the receptionist was insisting to swipe the credit card for our check in she said that the deduction made last night was just a pre authorization etc.at the end it was just a misunderstanding. She can't explain to us why the hell she'll swipe again the credit card on their system. Staffs should practice on how to explain things accordingly. In addition, they should have a wifi in rooms so it would be a great experience to every customer. Furthermore, the heater was not working even the airconditioner was automatically turning off. Over all, I wouldn't recommend vive to my friends and won't come back again.

This hotel is very good value for money. Located in a quiet enough road but close to shops and nightlife in makati. Very comfortable beds, clean and we had a very quiet room. very accommodating staffs
