Astoria Plaza

The Resort and Its Setting

Astoria Plaza sits at 15 Escriva Drive in the Ortigas Business District, part of Pasig City. It's a modern high-rise rather than a resort-style compound — think contemporary suites, an on-site spa, a restaurant and an outdoor lap pool, all geared towards guests who want comfort and convenience over sprawling grounds. Google reviews give it 4.3 out of 5 from over 3,000 reviews, a solid score for a property that's clearly used as much by business travellers as by vacation owners. That dual identity is worth knowing if you're selling a week: buyers here are often after a practical Metro Manila stay, not a tropical hideaway.

Pasig and the Wider Metro Manila Area

Pasig is one of the more developed and accessible municipalities in Metro Manila, with good road links and rail connections, including the LRT and MRT systems feeding into the rest of the metro area. SM City Pasig, a large shopping mall with retail, dining and entertainment, is only about 2km away. From Astoria Plaza it's a short trip to Makati Central Business District (around 5km), the Philippines' main financial and shopping hub, and to Bonifacio Global City in Taguig (around 10km), known for its offices, restaurants and nightlife. Quezon City (around 8km), the country's most populous city, has museums, universities and malls of its own, while Manila Bay (around 12km) offers the older, waterfront side of the capital with its heritage sites and sunset views. In short, owners and renters alike are buying access to the whole metro area, not just one neighbourhood.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own a week at Astoria Plaza and want to sell or rent it out, BidMyTimeshare.com works as a direct owner-to-owner marketplace: you list the week yourself, set your own asking price, and interested buyers or renters contact you through the platform. There's no commission taken on the sale — sellers simply pay a one-time listing fee to post the ad.

Because Astoria Plaza operates under the Astoria Vacation and Leisure Club brand rather than as a fully independent resort, resale typically goes through the club's own transfer process rather than a generic owners' association. Before agreeing a price with a buyer, ask the club directly for the current transfer fee, whether a right of first refusal applies, and the current annual maintenance fee — these figures aren't published in general resort listings and can change, so get them in writing from the brand before you commit. A buyer purchasing your week on resale should expect to receive the usage rights and membership status tied to the week itself; they should not assume any promotional perks, bonus points or incentives that may have been offered only to the original purchaser — those typically don't transfer.

What Renters Typically Look For

Renters interested in Astoria Plaza tend to be travellers who want a comfortable, well-located base for exploring Metro Manila — easy reach of Makati, BGC, Quezon City and the airport — rather than a destination resort in itself. Mentioning the lap pool, spa, on-site dining and the Ortigas location in your listing helps renters understand exactly what they're booking.

Practical Notes for Owners and Buyers

Traffic across Metro Manila can be heavy during peak hours, so factor that into any description of travel times to nearby attractions. The tropical climate means lightweight clothing and sun protection are useful year-round, and Pasig's rail links (LRT/MRT) are a genuine selling point worth highlighting, since they let guests avoid the worst of the road traffic. When listing your week, be clear about the season and any fixed or floating week arrangement, and always point interested buyers to the brand for exact transfer and annual fee figures rather than guessing.
