A New Way to Dine in Manila Philippines

In Manila, which is the capital city of the Philippines, the Sheraton Manila created a new solution to the modern dilemma we are faced with around the world of dining safely. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, dining out in a safe and secure manner is not the norm any longer. The Sheraton Manila came up with the idea to set up “Vubble Pods” in the outdoor area of their resort to allow guests to separate themselves a bit more from the other patrons around them when dining or partaking in other pastimes, such as receiving a massage.
The unique Vubble Pods are clear contraptions that are well ventilated, UV proof, moisture-proof, and allow guests to have the sensation of being outside. Since the Vubble Pods are well ventilated, they do not get overly hot in temperature during the scorching Philippine summers. The hotel decided to name the contraptions “Vubble Pods” because they are bubble-shaped and situated around the resort’s Vega Pool. The Vubble Pods allow for panoramic views of the nearby pool and lovely garden.
To experience the Vubble Pods, it will cost guests 5,000 PHP, which is about the equivalent of 100 USD. Patrons can enjoy delectable multi-course meals for lunch or dinner in the Vubble Pods that are cooked up by the resort’s extraordinary chefs. Special menus may be conjured up for holidays such as Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, and Father’s Day. The meal service is completely contactless, so there is no need to worry about social distancing concerns if you are intrigued by the Vubble Pods. The pods are also sanitized regularly, and each guest has their temperature checked before being allowed in. Other experiences that can be had in the Vubble Pods include massages, which are remarkably peaceful with the close-up views of the tranquil garden and glistening pool.
The Vubble Pods are also very useful during days when the weather is not ideal due to rain or lower temps or to escape nagging mosquitos. During the day, the Vubbles are perfect for gazing upon the sunny surroundings, and when the sun goes down the pods allow for a relaxing ambiance with a gorgeous view of the starry night sky. Guests can contact the Sheraton Manila via their phone number to book reservations so that they can have their own time in a Vubble Pod. There are only three Vubble Pods, so be sure to act fast and get your spot reserved if you really want to check out what the Vubbles are all about while you are visiting.
If you are going to be visiting Manila and want to be able to dine safely inside-yet-outside and do not want to be surrounded by a ton of other strangers, consider checking out the Sheraton Manila for their one-of-a-kind Vubble Pod experience. The Philippines are truly known for their outstanding friendliness, service, and innovation-and the Sheraton Manila just proves this even further.
