Intramuros walls at golden hour with the whole family taking photos is a memory that will stay with us. Casa Manila's old furniture and photographs kept even our teenager interested, which says a lot. Solid three night option for families new to the Philippines.
Loved wandering the cobbled lanes of the old city with the kids reading out the plaques for us. Casa Manila's courtyard was where we sat with ice creams while the grandparents rested their feet. Three generations, one short trip, everybody came away happy.
The old city has real character and my parents enjoyed the churches, but the walking days felt rushed for a family with a toddler, and there was never quite enough downtime for naps. Good content, the pacing just did not fit our ages.
Casa Manila turned out to be the surprise hit with our two, they loved peering at the old colonial furniture and the framed photographs like little detectives. The shaded courtyard gave us all a breather between the churches. Lovely short break for a family that likes a bit of story with its holiday.
My parents joined us for this trip and it turned into a proper multi generational outing through old Manila. The dungeons at Fort Santiago were eerie in a way that had the kids gripping our hands a little tighter. Casa Manila's courtyard gave everyone a shaded spot to rest between walks. Three nights felt complete without feeling rushed, well suited for a family with mixed ages.
Fort Santiago's dungeons had our ten year old completely fascinated, he has not stopped talking about the tunnels since we got back. Intramuros gates make for such a dramatic entry point into the old city. Good trip for a family that enjoys a bit of history mixed into a short holiday.
