A highlight of Solaire is the majestic Sky Tower, home to 312 lavish rooms and suites that radiate sophistication and comfort. With rooms ranging from a spacious 65 square meters to a palatial 395, every guest can soak in breathtaking views of the iconic Manila Bay. The tower’s exclusive amenities, including jacuzzis, cabanas, a world-class fitness center, spa, and salon, make it the ultimate haven for anyone seeking a luxurious escape. Lim reflected on one of the tour’s standout moments, saying, "The room tour was a standout moment, especially when we explored the Chairman's Villa, which left me speechless with its opulence and sheer size. Knowing that Bruno Mars once stayed there added a touch of star power, and the marble bathroom, with its floor-to-ceiling glass window offering breathtaking views of the harbour and Ferris wheel, was simply unforgettable."

Lim shared her culinary highlights from the trip, saying, "Culinary delights were plentiful throughout the trip. My favourite was the Japanese cuisine at Yakumi. The freshness of the lobster, scallops, and tuna, paired with perfectly tender steak, made for a remarkable meal. Trying foie gras chawanmushi for the first time was an unexpected but delightful experience. Red Lantern, with its authentic Chinese flavours, also left a lasting impression. The soup—featuring prawn, pumpkin, abalone, scallop, shrimp, and pumpkin chips—was particularly memorable, both for its presentation and taste."

The resort itself stands out from other entertainment hubs like Malaysia and Singapore by offering not only a world-class casino and high-end shopping, but also exclusive experiences like this." And speaking of shopping, she added, "Our visit to The Shoppes was made even more special by the lovely welcome tea organized by Tiffany & Co., adding a personal and luxurious touch to the shopping experience."
