Sonya’s Garden is my nirvana…

Christine Dayrit, The Philippine Star
We decided to check out their Panaderia to buy some freshly made bread.
I highly recommend their Cheese Hopia!

Every nook and corner in your secret garden is an invitation to go on meditation.

To be an overnight guest at Sonya’s Garden is to awaken to all five senses… In a word, sensuous!

One of the best B&Bs. Even the massage is excellent!

The surroundings calm your body and soul. The rooms were airy and homey. Food was so yummy! Adobong pusit cooked in olive oil is to die for. Service from the staff was exceptional.

In this heart and soul of Sonya’s, I was treated to a hilot massage — long loving strokes of healing that led me to a journey of rediscovery.

Christine Dayrit
We chose their Sonya’s signature massage with Rose Oil… It was superb. We felt relaxed and serene afterwards. It was the best.

It is always top quality service, very well trained and attentive masseuses, fresh air, peaceful atmosphere, unique setting. There is no better way to relax.

This place is wonderfully rejuvenating. The food buffet showcases both delectable and healthy choices. I couldn’t get over the dalandan juice, still the most refreshing one I’ve ever had.

The hot and freshly baked whole wheat sesame bread was delightfully crunchy on the outside but soft in the inside. With the selection of homemade dips and toppings…. I could say with that bread alone, I can fill my tummy and be a happy camper.

We had our wedding reception there, and I can’t find words to describe the way we felt. The place is absolutely beautiful.. I was amazed with the amount of beautiful small details.

The scent of flowers and freshly baked bread greeted us. Sonya’s Garden is just what I remembered, charming and beautiful. A secret no more, and a haven for many.

Valerie
I am beyond satisfied with their customer service. Not even once did I feel like I wasn’t important there. It was such a treat to experience hospitality on that level. Their Filipino menu is a must try!

Everything is simply rustic. And of course, simply mesmerizing.
–
Cory Quirino, ANC, Graceful Living
I was in awe. I instantly fell in love with the lush gardens, colorful lamps, eclectic furnitures, and romantic little corners. The dining area was dreamy and homey at the same time. To say that Ces and I loved the food is an understatement. We both were so full and happy and satisfied.

Best MASSAGE in town! I didn’t think it could get better after the foot spa, but the massage was to die for!
–
Monina
It felt so relaxing, I passed out while she continued to massage my legs. I never fall asleep during a massage session, so that means my masseuse was fantastic.
–
Jean Fernando
Only one hour of Sonya’s Signature Massage, but it felt like every second, every stroke counts. This is one of the best, if not the best massage I’ve experienced.
–

I love their breads! We always pass by the panaderia to enjoy our stash of hispanis bread and cheese hopia. For me they have the best tasting spanish bread in Metro Manila and their signature cheese hopia is something that I haven’t sampled anywhere.

Food was delicious – had salad for starters, pasta for main course. Both had all the ingredients, all fresh and grown locally… probably the healthiest I have eaten in the Philippines!

It seems like such a fairy tale there, with all colorful flowers and tall trees, and not to mention the never-ending supply of food that makes an afternoon siesta so inviting.

Tricia Gosingtian
A magical oasis, with private spaces draped with exotic flowers and fabrics…

At night the pathways and trees are lit with little sparkling lights that give a magical feeling to your stroll. In the morning you are awakened by a fresh breeze and the sounds of birds in the gardens. The service was excellent.
