After our nice afternoon tea, I went for a dip at their amazing indoor pool. The indoor infinity pool of Marco Polo Ortigas Manila is strategically situated on the 22nd level of the hotel tower overlooking the Ortigas cityscape.











In the late afternoon, we went for Aperitivo at Vu's Skybar in 45th floor that only costs Php899.00 per person and the view was fantastic! Inspired by Anti Pasti Misto Buffet, take your pre-dinner drinks and appetizers to new heights with an Italian ritual to enjoy with a view. Indulge in its vast selection of cocktails, wines and other spirits together with a well-curated line-up of dishes that is a good mix of Filipino, Spanish and other Mediterranean favorites. Introducing Aperitivo, an Italian ritual of socialising over good food and drinks. It consists a wide range of appetizers, such as cold cuts, pizzas, cheeses, croquettes, and a free flow of house wine.  It serves on Monday to Wednesday, a la carte 5PM to 8PM and Thursday to Saturday, buffet 5PM to 8PM. And, since, we went on Monday so, we had a la carte.
