Manila's BEST Netflix Streaming? Fairview Trees Residences 100mbps Review!
Manila's BEST Netflix Streaming? Fairview Trees Residences 100mbps Review! (Plus, a Whole Lot More!) - Buckle Up, Buttercups!
Okay, listen up, fellow Netflix addicts and weary travelers! You want a real review? Not some corporate shill spewing perfectly polished prose? Good. Because I just got back from Fairview Trees Residences, and I'm bursting to tell you about it. And yes, the title is accurate. We're talking about Manila's BEST Netflix Streaming. But trust me, there's a whole lot more to unpack than just buffering-free binges.
First things first: The Internet - The Holy Grail (or at least, the streaming god)
Let's get this out of the way. The 100mbps internet is… well, it's life-changing. Seriously. I'm talking no buffering, even with three devices streaming at once. My partner was glued to some K-drama, I was devouring a true crime documentary, and my sister was video-calling us from the other side of the world. Silence. Just… streaming bliss. This is a major selling point, folks. Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! and even Internet [LAN] for the hardcore gamers amongst us. They understand the importance of fast internet, and they deliver. Consider me impressed. This is the reason why I'm calling this place Manila's BEST Netflix Streaming.
Accessibility - They're Trying (and That's a Good Start!)
Okay, so let's talk accessibility. They've got some stuff, but it's not perfect. They have Facilities for disabled guests and an Elevator, which is a HUGE plus. I didn't personally need it, but it was good to see. I also spotted Wheelchair accessible areas, which is thoughtful. However, I'm not sure how smooth the entire experience would be for someone with mobility issues. I'd recommend contacting them directly to clarify specific needs.
The Rooms - Cozy, Clean, and Netflix-Ready
Alright, let's get into the nitty-gritty of the room. I stayed in a standard room, and it was… nice. Air conditioning was a lifesaver in the Manila heat. The Bed was comfy, and the Blackout curtains were a godsend for sleeping in. You've got all the usual suspects: Air conditioning, Alarm clock, Bathroom phone, Bathrobes, Bathtub, Carpeting, Closet, Coffee/tea maker, Complimentary tea, Daily housekeeping, Desk, Extra long bed, Free bottled water, Hair dryer, In-room safe box, Internet access – wireless, Ironing facilities, Laptop workspace, Linens, Mini bar, Mirror, Non-smoking, Private bathroom, Reading light, Refrigerator, Safety/security feature, Satellite/cable channels, Seating area, Separate shower/bathtub, Shower, Slippers, Smoke detector, Socket near the bed, Sofa, Soundproofing, Telephone, Toiletries, Towels, Umbrella, Wake-up service, Wi-Fi [free], Window that opens. Basically, everything you need to relax and unwind. Oh, and the Netflix? Glorious. Absolutely glorious.
Cleanliness and Safety - A Little Peace of Mind
This is important, especially these days. I was impressed with their efforts. They had Anti-viral cleaning products, Daily disinfection in common areas, and Rooms sanitized between stays. They also had Hand sanitizer readily available, and the staff seemed to take safety protocols seriously. They had Staff trained in safety protocol. I felt reasonably safe, which is a major plus. The Fire extinguisher, Front desk [24-hour], Smoke alarms, and Security [24-hour] were also reassuring.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking - Fueling the Binge
Now, let's talk about the important stuff: food! They had a decent variety. There's an A la carte in restaurant, Asian breakfast, Asian cuisine in restaurant, Bar, Breakfast [buffet], Breakfast service, Buffet in restaurant, Coffee/tea in restaurant, Coffee shop, Desserts in restaurant, International cuisine in restaurant, Poolside bar, Restaurants, Room service [24-hour], Snack bar, Soup in restaurant, Vegetarian restaurant, Western breakfast, Western cuisine in restaurant. The Breakfast [buffet] was… okay. Nothing to write home about, but it filled the hole. The Coffee shop was a lifesaver for my caffeine addiction. I didn't try the Poolside bar, but it looked inviting. Honestly, I spent most of my time in my room, so the Room service [24-hour] was a godsend for those late-night Netflix cravings.
Services and Conveniences - They've Got You Covered (Mostly)
They had a good range of services. Air conditioning in public area, Cash withdrawal, Concierge, Contactless check-in/out, Convenience store, Currency exchange, Daily housekeeping, Doorman, Dry cleaning, Elevator, Facilities for disabled guests, Food delivery, Gift/souvenir shop, Invoice provided, Ironing service, Laundry service, Luggage storage, Safety deposit boxes, Smoking area, Terrace, Wi-Fi for special events, Xerox/fax in business center. The Concierge was helpful with recommendations, the Laundry service was efficient, and the Convenience store was perfect for grabbing snacks.
Things to Do and Ways to Relax - Beyond the Binge
Okay, so I'm not going to lie… I spent a lot of time glued to the screen. But they did have some nice options for when I wasn't. They have a Swimming pool [outdoor] which was lovely, and a Gym/fitness center for those who are more disciplined than me. I didn't use any of the Spa, Sauna, Spa/sauna, Steamroom, Massage, Body scrub, Body wrap, Foot bath, but they were available.
Here's the Deal: The Good, the Bad, and the Netflix
- The Good: The internet is a game-changer. The rooms are comfortable and clean. The staff are friendly and helpful. The location is convenient. They seem to be taking safety seriously.
- The Bad: The breakfast buffet could be better. Accessibility is decent, but not perfect.
- The Netflix: Seriously, it's amazing. If you're a streamer, this place is a must.
My Quirky Observation: I loved the little "Do Not Disturb" signs they had. They were so cute, and they really understood the importance of a good binge-watching session.
My Emotional Reaction: Pure, unadulterated joy. I was able to fully relax and unwind. I actually felt recharged after my stay.
Overall Impression: Fairview Trees Residences is a solid choice, especially for those who value fast internet and a comfortable stay. It's not perfect, but it's a great value for the price.

Lefkada Luxury: Your Private Pool Paradise Awaits (Theros Villa I)
Okay, buckle up buttercup, because this isn't your grandma's meticulously planned itinerary. This is…well, this is my potential SM Fairview/Trees Residences/100mb/Netflix adventure with Joel, Manila style. Prepare for a rollercoaster of emotions, questionable decisions, and the constant battle against the Manila heat. Let's do this (maybe).
The Joel Manila Adventure: A Stream-of-Consciousness Itinerary (Because Real Life Ain't Perfect)
Day 1: The Anticipation (and the Dread)
- Morning (9:00 AM): Wake up. Ugh. The sun's already practically trying to melt my face off. Coffee, obviously. Strong, black, and probably instant. I'm not fancy, alright? The plan: Text Joel, confirm the plan again (because, Manila time, right?). The anticipation is real. Is he actually coming? What if he's late? What if he bails? (Okay, maybe I'm overthinking it. But the anxiety is real.)
- Late Morning (10:00 AM): The great decision: to travel by public transportation or Grab? It's the eternal Manila struggle. Public transport: cheap, sweaty, and a potential contact sport. Grab: comfy (ish), air-conditioned, and will probably bleed my wallet dry. Sigh. Let's aim for Grab, because I'm feeling fragile today. And pray to the traffic gods.
- Early Afternoon (12:00 PM): Arrival at SM Fairview. (Assuming I actually get there. Manila traffic, remember?) Meet Joel! Yay! (Internal screaming of excitement/nervousness). First impressions are key. Am I wearing something that doesn't make me look like a potato? Did I remember deodorant? Okay, breathe.
- Lunch: Let's be real. The food court is the only option. And the choices…overwhelming. Probably something fried. Probably something unhealthy. But delicious. And probably followed by a sugar crash that'll last until the next meal.
- The Mall Wander: The mall is huge. Like, really huge. We get lost, inevitably. We window-shop. We judge the fashion choices of others. We probably wander into a department store and touch everything we shouldn't. This is mall life.
Day 2: Trees Residences & Netflix (The Escape)
- Morning (10:00 AM): Wake up at Trees Residences (assuming we're staying there, because that's the vibe). Sun. Ugh. Coffee. The plan is to be lazy. The reality? Probably slightly less lazy than planned, but still the goal.
- Brunch: Cook something, or order in? I am leaning to order in.
- Pool Time: The pool at Trees Residences looks amazing. Swim. Sunbathe. Pretend I'm not burning alive under the relentless Manila sun.
- Afternoon (2:00 PM): Netflix and chill (the actual definition, thank you very much). Choose a movie or series. Argue over the remote. Get distracted by phones. End up watching whatever. Real talk: some days, I just want to veg out and watch something mindless.
- Evening (6:00 PM): Food delivery. Again. It's the Manila way, right?
- Night (8:00 PM): Finish watching the movie. Discuss the plot (or lack thereof). Fall asleep on the couch. Or maybe watch more Netflix. The possibilities are endless.
Day 3: (The Aftermath)
- Morning (9:00 AM): Wake up. The joy of knowing that the weekend is over.
- Late Morning (10:00 AM): Head home. Traffic.
- Afternoon (12:00 PM): Arrive home.
Quirky Observations, Emotional Reactions, and General Ramblings:
- The Heat: Seriously, Manila, can we have a break from the sun? My skin is screaming. The humidity is a constant, oppressive hug.
- Traffic: It's a beast. A slow, agonizing beast. I swear, I've aged a decade just sitting in traffic.
- People-Watching: Manila is a masterclass in people-watching. The fashion, the drama, the sheer variety of human existence…it's endlessly fascinating.
- Joel: Who is Joel anyway? Is he as awesome as I'm imagining? Or will he be the guy who keeps checking his phone the entire time? (Please, no).
- Food: The food in Manila is amazing! Seriously, I could eat adobo, sinigang, and lechon every day. And I probably will.
- The Mess: This itinerary is a mess. Just like my life. And I wouldn't have it any other way.
Imperfections and Honest Moments:
- Procrastination: I'm probably going to put off packing until the absolute last minute.
- Impulsiveness: I'll probably spend more money than I should.
- Emotional Rollercoaster: I'm going to be overthinking everything.
- Unpredictability: Things will probably go sideways.
The Verdict: This is just a loose plan. The actual experience will be a chaotic, imperfect, and hopefully hilarious adventure. And that's the beauty of it. It's Manila, baby! Embrace the mess. Embrace the heat. Embrace the (potential) awesomeness. And pray for good traffic. Wish me luck!

Fairview Trees Residences & Netflix: My Manila Streaming Saga (Prepare for Rambles!)
Okay, spill the tea. Is Netflix even watchable at Fairview Trees Residences? Like, *really* watchable?
Alright, alright, settle down. The burning question, the one that keeps you up at 3 AM, staring at your ceiling, wondering if you should just learn Tagalog already... Netflix at Fairview Trees? Well, let me tell you a STORY. First, I had this *awful* experience. Moved in, bright-eyed, bushy-tailed, ready to binge-watch Love is Blind: Philippines (don't judge!). Internet was... abysmal. Like, dial-up abysmal. I'm talking buffering circles that mocked my very existence. Pixelated faces that resembled abstract art. My first week? Pure, unadulterated rage. Seriously, I was this close to throwing my Roku out the window.
Then, and this is the key, I upgraded to the 100mbps plan. And *that*... that changed everything. Mostly. See, the *promise* of 100mbps is glorious. The reality? Well, let's just say it's more of a "mostly glorious, with occasional hiccups" kind of situation. So, yes, *generally* it's watchable. HD? Yep. 4K? Sometimes! But here's where the drama comes in...
So, 100mbps. Sounds amazing. Is it *always* amazing? Because I'm picturing perfect streaming bliss…
HAHAHA! Oh, you sweet summer child. Perfection? In Manila internet? Bless your heart. Look, 100mbps is a HUGE improvement. Seriously, night and day compared to whatever the heck I had before. But remember, we're talking about the Philippines. Things happen. Sometimes, the internet gods decide to take a nap. Or, more likely, a whole bunch of people in the building decide to stream *at the exact same time* as you. Peak hours? Forget about it. You're gonna see a little buffering, maybe a drop in resolution. Nothing *major*, mind you. Usually. But it's there. It's a constant, nagging awareness that you're never *fully* in control of your streaming destiny.
I’ll give you an example. Last week, the finale of The Last of Us was on. I was HYPED. Had snacks. Had the lights dimmed. Ready for peak emotional devastation. And... buffering. For like, five minutes. Five agonizing minutes of Joel and Ellie's faces pixelating into oblivion. Five minutes of me pacing my apartment, muttering under my breath. Five minutes away from a full-blown meltdown. It eventually worked, thank goodness, but the memory still gives me a twitch.
What about the internet provider? Is it reliable? And who *is* the provider at Fairview Trees, anyway?
Okay, the provider. I'm not going to name names (mostly because I'm afraid of getting my internet cut off, haha!). But let's just say, it's one of the big ones. The one with the TV ads. The one that promises the world. Their reliability? It's... variable. Sometimes it's rock solid. Sometimes it's a bit of a rollercoaster. You might experience occasional outages. They usually get resolved relatively quickly, but it's still a pain. You know, the kind of pain that makes you seriously consider picking up a hobby that doesn't involve the internet, like competitive knitting. Which, by the way, I might actually start doing...
Customer service? That's another story. Prepare yourself for hold music. Prepare yourself for repetitive questions. Prepare yourself for… well, let’s just say it’s not always a seamless experience. But hey, at least they eventually get it sorted out... usually. Eventually. After you've wanted to throw your phone out the window, like, five times.
Okay, so let's get practical. What kind of speed test results are you *actually* getting? Give me the numbers!
Alright, speed tests. I've run a *ton* of them. Because, you know, I’m obsessed. Generally, I get download speeds that are... decent. Usually around 70-90mbps during off-peak hours. Upload speeds are usually a bit lower, but still acceptable. During peak hours? Well, that’s where things get interesting. Download speeds can dip to 40-60mbps. Still watchable, but you'll notice the difference. Especially if you're trying to stream in 4K. Upload? Forget about uploading large files. It’s a slow crawl.
I highly recommend downloading a speed test app and running regular tests. It'll give you a better idea of what to expect. And it gives you something to complain about when the internet is being… well, you know… *Manila* internet.
Are there any times when streaming is a complete NO-GO? Like, blackout times?
Blackout times? Not really. But there are *frustration* times. Weekends, evenings... when everyone else in the building is also trying to escape reality through Netflix. That's when you might see the most buffering. During typhoons? Yeah, that’s a potential problem. Power outages are common, which obviously kills your internet. And sometimes, the internet just… dies. For no apparent reason. That’s just Manila life, baby!
My advice? If you're a serious streamer, try to watch your favorite shows during off-peak hours. Or, you know, embrace the chaos. Have a backup plan. Download a few episodes of something before you're ready to watch. Or, better yet, get a good book. You'll thank me later.
Any tips or tricks to improve streaming at Fairview Trees? Secret hacks?
Secret hacks, huh? Okay, here are a few things I've learned the hard way:
- Restart your modem and router. Seems obvious, but it works surprisingly often. Do it at least once a week.
- Use an Ethernet cable. Wi-Fi can be unreliable. If you can, connect your streaming device directly to the router.
- Close unnecessary apps and devices. The more devices connected to your Wi-Fi, the slower your internet will be.
- Choose the right resolution. If you're experiencing buffering, try lowering the video quality in your Netflix settings. It's better to watch in HD than to stare at a buffering circle for five minutes.
- Consider a VPN. Some people swear by them. I haven't tried it myself, but itBoutique InnsSM Fairview/Trees Residences/100mb/netflix by Joel Manila Philippines
