Solaire Resort & Casino

Solaire opened last March 16, 2013 and has been the premiere destination for both local and foreign tourists looking for world-class accommodation, dining and gaming experience ever since. The first phase of completion includes 500 luxurious rooms, suites and bayview villas with full resort amenities like bars, swimming pools, spa and a fitness center.

But to really feel like gaming ala Las Vegas style, wait until you see Solaire's expansive 18,500 square-meter casino with two levels of slot and table machines. Yes, it was really tempting to play the slot machines but our dear friend invited us over for lunch and a little show-off of their rooms and other facilities you can find here.

Since they were ~~almost~~ 90% fully booked that day, we were only shown 2 types of rooms: deluxe and grand deluxe rooms.

Deluxe Room

43sqm air-conditioned room with either city or sea view
mini-bar with coffee and tea maker
pillow menu with premium bedding
private bathroom with complimentary toiletries
separate bathtub and shower (with rainfall shower head)
46-inch flat screen TV with cable channels
iPod docking station
free Wi-Fi and local calls

Twin Bed

Double Bed

The Grand Deluxe Rooms have the same amenities but bigger in size. This particular room is located near the path way going to the pool so this serves as their show room only.
