Okay, buckle up, buttercups, because we're diving headfirst into the chaotic, glorious, karaoke-fueled wonderland that is Trees Residences Videoke Party in Manila. Forget the polished brochures and sterile travel guides—I'm giving you the REAL deal, the good, the bad, and the hilariously off-key singing. Get ready for a rollercoaster of opinions, because this review is gonna be… well, me.

Getting There & The First Impression: Accessibility (and the Utter Lack of My Own Parking Skills)
Alright, let's be honest, navigating Manila can be a journey. Trees Residences, thankfully, is relatively accessible. Taxis and ride-hailing apps are your best friends. They have a FREE car park! Bless. Now, I tried to park there, I really did. But let's just say my parallel parking skills are… evolving. (So, free parking is great, if you, you know, can actually park.)
Accessibility is Key (Literally!)
They do have facilities for disabled guests. Wheelchair accessible? Check. The hotel has an elevator (bless the elevator gods!). I didn’t get to check it myself extensively, (I was too busy sweating bullets trying to park) but I did notice ramps and wide doorways. So, points for effort, Trees Residences.
Rooms and Stuff: A Home Away From Horrendous Karaoke?
My review will be based not just on the rooms themselves, but the total experience. First, let’s just say the hotel has 24/7 security. That's a must-have when you're thinking about a crazy group getting together to party.
The Room: My Cozy Lair of Slightly-Off-Key Vocals The room itself? Decent. It's got the usual suspects: comfy bed (yay!), air conditioning that actually works (another yay!), and a mini-bar (because hydration is crucial after a night of belting out Journey). Available in all rooms: Air conditioning, Alarm clock, Bathrobes, Bathroom phone, Bathtub, Blackout curtains, Carpeting, Closet, Coffee/tea maker, Complimentary tea, Daily housekeeping, Desk, Extra long bed, Free bottled water, Hair dryer, High floor, In-room safe box, Interconnecting room(s) available, Internet access – LAN, Internet access – wireless, Ironing facilities, Laptop workspace, Linens, Mini bar, Mirror, Non-smoking, On-demand movies, Private bathroom, Reading light, Refrigerator, Safety/security feature, Satellite/cable channels, Scale, Seating area, Separate shower/bathtub, Shower, Slippers, Smoke detector, Socket near the bed, Sofa, Soundproofing, Telephone, Toiletries, Towels, Umbrella, Visual alarm, Wake-up service, Wi-Fi [free], Window that opens.
The Wi-Fi [free] was a lifesaver (because, you know, gotta post those karaoke videos). A few more perks: they provide Free bottled water, Safety/security feature. Daily housekeeping. They had all the stuff, even the stuff you probably didn't realize you'd need when you checked in.
Important Anecdote: My friend, bless his heart, is a snorer. Soundproofing is a gift and they had that. So, score one for restful sleep!
The Aesthetic: The rooms are clean and tidy. So all in all, a decent place to chill.
The Food & Booze: Fueling the Karaoke Chaos!
This is where Trees Residences really shines. Or at least, gleams a little.
- The Restaurants (plural!): They have a Restaurant (obviously). They offer Breakfast [buffet], Buffet in restaurant, Coffee/tea in restaurant. I heard they also have places for Desserts in restaurant to make more of a great experience.
- The Bar: Poolside bar at a hotel in Manila? YES, PLEASE. They have Happy hour. My go-to: a cold beer and a questionable rendition of "Bohemian Rhapsody." Bottle of water is always included.
- Snack Bar: Perfect for those midnight munchies after embarrassing yourself on the mic.
Now, the CRUCIAL Part: The Videoke Party! (Oh, the Glorious, Slightly-Off-Key Glory!)
The main reason you're here: Trees Residences Videoke Party! This is the heart and soul of the experience. The rooms are soundproofed, so your neighbors won't hate you (as much). They've provided high-quality karaoke machines, a vast song selection (including everything from classic OPM to the latest K-Pop), and enough microphones for everyone to hog.
This is where the good stuff is and I felt more than good…
Picture this: you, your barkada (group of friends), a few bottles, and the unwavering belief that you're all destined for stardom. The energy is electric. The singing? Well, let's just say it ranges from surprisingly good to spectacularly terrible (in the most endearing way). The memories are made, the friendships are solidified, and the hangovers are totally worth it in the morning.
Amenities and Relaxation - Because You Need a Break From Your Voice!
So they also have the following: Fitness center, Gym/fitness, Massage, Pool with view, Sauna, Spa, Spa/sauna, Steamroom, Swimming pool, Swimming pool [outdoor].
I didn't get to use everything, but the pool looked enticing. They also offer Body scrub, Body wrap, Foot bath.
The Verdict: Is Trees Residences Videoke Party Worth It?
Absolutely. If you’re looking for a fun, affordable, and memorable barkada hangout in Manila, Trees Residences is a winner. It's not a five-star luxury hotel, it's a three-star good time! Now, will I go back? HELL YES.
But here's my biggest praise: The staff. That's the most important thing. Every person there, from the front desk to the room service, was genuinely friendly, helpful, and patient with our rambunctious group. That kind of service makes everything better.
The Only Imperfections (And I'm Being Picky):
- The Food Variety: It's good, but not exceptional. There is space for a bit more of a menu selection.
- Parking (My Fault, But Still): My parking skills are still under construction.
Final Words: Book That Trip, Sing Your Heart Out!
So, what are you waiting for? Gather your barkada, pack your (possibly questionable) singing voices, and book your stay at Trees Residences Videoke Party. You won't regret it. I give it a solid… 4.5 out of 5 stars! (Minus half a star for my traumatic parking experience.)

The Unofficial, Unstructured, and Utterly Wonderful Trees Residences Debacle (with Videoke!)
Days 1-3: Arrival, Apartment Assault, and the Quest for the Perfect Sisig
Day 1: Arrival & Initial Panic
- Morning (7 am - 10 am): The airport scene. Ugh. Endless lines, baggage carousel roulette (pro tip: tie a brightly colored ribbon on your suitcase, you'll thank me later). Finally, Manila! The humidity hits you like a warm, wet hug. Or maybe a sweaty slap. Either way, it's Manila.
- Late Morning (10 am - 12 pm): The Grab ride to Trees Residences. Traffic. Always traffic. We're packed tighter than sardines, and the driver's playing OPM at ear-splitting volume. Auntie Tess is already complaining about the aircon. This is my cue to start mentally preparing myself.
- Afternoon (12 pm - 2 pm): Check-in! Triumph! We're in the Barkada / Family Room. It's… big. Okay, it's HUGE. Like, "could lose a small child in here" big. The videoke machine is, gloriously, present. The aircon, thankfully, works.
- Afternoon (2 pm - 5 pm): Unpacking. Attempting to organize. Realizing we brought way too much stuff. Finding that the Wi-Fi password is, of course, somewhere we can't find it. Panic sets in. Then, discovering a bottle of rum that someone accidentally packed – a lifesaver.
- Early Evening (5 pm - 7 pm): The Sisig hunt begins. The city, the place, the people, and the food. The only thing that can save us. Turns into a philosophical debate at the table on where we can get the best Sisig.
- Evening (7 pm onwards): The first videoke session! It starts innocently enough. A few classic OPM ballads. Then Tita Elvie slays "I Will Survive." Then it's all downhill from there. Grandma's attempt at a rap song? Let's just say, it needed auto-tune. A lot of auto-tune.
Day 2: The Quezon City Adventures & Karaoke Catastrophes
- Morning (9 am - 12 pm): The grand Quezon City tour! Or, at least, our version of it. A rushed breakfast of instant noodles (because, let's face it, we're exhausted). Then, a mad dash, trying to fit everyone in the van.
- Mid-day (12 pm - 2 pm): Ukay-ukay shopping. Finding questionable fashion gems. Auntie Beth managed to find a sequined top that actually fits. An achievement.
- Afternoon (2 pm - 4 pm): Lunch. Street food. Trying everything. Regretting everything (but only slightly).
- Late Afternoon (4 pm - 6 pm): The return to Trees Residences. Exhausted and happy.
- Evening (6 pm onwards): The videoke continues. The booze flows. The singing… varies. Uncle Fred breaks out into a very enthusiastic rendition of "Bohemian Rhapsody," complete with air guitar. It's glorious. Then, the power goes out. Cue frantic scrambling for candles and flashlights.
Day 3: Poolside Relaxation (Attempted) & The Great Pizza Incident
- Morning (9 am - 12 pm): The pool! Sounded great in theory. In reality, it's a crowded free-for-all. Kids splashing. Sun-burnt bodies. A brief moment of peace before the mayhem resumed.
- Mid-day (12 pm - 2 pm): Pizza delivery. Ordered way too much. We are Filipinos, it's inevitable. Pizza everywhere. Pizza on the floor. Pizza in someone's hair.
- Afternoon (2 pm - 5 pm): Naps. Glorious, much-needed naps. Because, honestly, we're all running on fumes at this point.
- Late Afternoon (5 pm - 7 pm): Another videoke session. Someone (no names, but it was definitely Kuya Ben) challenges everyone to a song battle.
- Evening (7 pm onwards): The aftermath of the song battle. More singing. More drinks. More laughter. More memories. This is what it's all about.
Day 4: The Farewell Breakfast & The Long Goodbye
- Morning (7am - 9 am): Farewell breakfast. A mountain of tapsilog, longganisa, and pandesal. The silence is broken by the sound of tears.
- Late Morning (9 am - 11 am): Packing for the flight. Saying goodbye to each other. The family.
- Afternoon (12 pm - 2 pm): the long goodbye.
Quirky Observations & Emotional Reactions:
- The Humidity: It's a beast. A sweaty, clingy beast.
- The Loudness: Manila is LOUD. But in a good way. A vibrant, chaotic, beautiful way.
- The Food: Oh, the food! I'll be dreaming of sisig and adobo for weeks. Maybe months.
- The Karaoke: It's the glue that held everything together. The source of endless laughter, cringe-worthy performances, and unforgettable moments.
- The Family: They drive me crazy. They annoy me. They embarrass me. And I wouldn't trade them for the world. I'm gonna miss them. A lot.
- The Trees Residences: It was perfect. Imperfections and all.
- Me: I am forever changed. In a good way.
This isn't a perfect schedule, and it probably won't make sense to anyone but me and my Barkada. But it's ours. It's the truth about our trip, the beautiful mess of it all. And I wouldn't have it any other way.
