Suite Pool View by Grace Residences

Great place with great ammenities and views. Staff always greets us. Just hope they can lessen the times they ask the tenants about their unit and names. We get it, it's for security purposes specially to the ones who have not seen us before. But I have been wearing the same jacket almost everyday for more than a month now 😂 just to help them recognize me and I still am being asked of my info. It gets really annoying.

-1 star because of their elevator system. When you push a button, all of it goes up or down. Then even though it already picked up the person on another floor, the other elevator still stops on that certain floor. So time consuming. The pool is good because you have two options and the Alfamart is very convenient for late night cravings. And Starbucks is just few walks away.

Its a pretty fine condo in my opinion, there is a small mall inside the condominium complex (including a BDO bank), laundry, some restaurants (usually expensive), drinking water station, convenience store and Starbucks at the front of the entrance. Vista Mall has a lot to offer and is very close (less than 5min), meanwhile BGC is also close (less than 30min). Puregold is also very close (less than 10min). there are transportation (tricycles) at the front of the entrance. there are 2 seperate gyms inside the complex (one is Anytime Fitness). There is a basketball court too. There are 2 large swimming pools but there isnt that much to do except relaxing after a heavy day. The guards and crew greet you whenever they see you, maintenance service is very direct and quick. The guards and crew is very approachable. Finally, there are LOTS of friendly cats near the walkway of the condominium complex (outside). Perfect for cat lovers. Although there is double standard towards Tricycle drivers where they are not allowed to enter the area, i am now rich and successful but i grew from poverty so i know what its like to be discriminated. In Summary PROS • Good Ameneties • Mid-High End Condo • Welcoming Crew, Strict Security • City Location, Near Malls And BGC • Soundproofed Units • Clean Environment • GREAT view at the higher floors • Easy Transportation • Nicely Designed Rooms • Crew Is Always There To Carry Your Baggage CONS • Condo Environment Feels Dead (The hallways are WAY TOO QUIET, to fix this, they should add low volume speakers on hallways and elevators playing relaxing jazz music, small changes can make big differences) • No Community At All (The only people that feels alive are the guards and the crew, the tenants are completely corpse silent even if i try to talk to them, to fix this, add occasional community events) • Elevators Needs Renovation (the elevators, theyre old, torn off sheets and scratched walls.) • Parking Monthly Cost is expensive (makes you not want to own a car at all) • Door Cockroaches (in RARE occasions, cockroaches or bugs from other condo units enter your room through the small gap underneath your door)

The place is just average.....So Many MOSQUITOES... it's the surrounding location I don't like. •On one side of the property is a canal it's not fresh water running, it looks and also smells like sewerage. Between the canal and grace residences is a make shift dwellings with squatters living there and every day about 3 or 4 times a day they make a fire for cooking which always smokes out the Grace Residence building enough that you will be confined to the inside of your condo with the windows and doors shut.... So no balcony time most of the day. • In the front of the residence on one side is a government compound that looks like a dump... They also light fires and smoke out the residences. Plus the Sirens that are always going off. • In the front of the residence on the other side is a sewerage treatment plant which building 1 has the pleasure of living on top of and smelling every time the breeze blows their way. If you go to the gym on the 7th floor you can see what I mean. That's also where the administration office is for Grace Residences • The staff.... Most of the staff are nice and friendly. Some are not so helpful and some are really nice. • The Grace Mall that resides on ground level in building 1 doesn't have much there - - Alfamart, BDO, KuyaJ, Classic Savoury, drinking water filling station, Turks, lotteries sales, laundromat,gym, noodle restaurant, 2 no brand (fake brands) clothing stores. Starbucks ...... Pay for your parking • There is only one pool right out the front,cops the direct sun all day,no shade to be found, and did I say right out the front, everyone from service personnel to delivery people coming and going gets to walk past and check you out while you are bathing in the pool so don't forget your G-string for your exhibition. • A basketball court near the kids playground down the bottom of building 2 gets well used. If the basketball players don't wake you up any day of the week and twice on Sunday with their shouting and the hooter going off every 30 seconds then I expect the low flying aeroplanes will. • Close to the airport and directly under the flight path. So for those basketballers .... maybe you can try getting a free flight by going to the Roof Top floor of building and jumping into a plane as it goes past. I don't think the airport's in the Philippines have flight time curfews they will go past any time of the day and early hours of the morning. • summary it's like living in the slums, stinks, noisy,not a pleasant location. I would advise lol against buying a condo to live here or even as an investment... But that's what you get with smdc residences. Already run down before they finish building the last stage of the project.

This place is basically trash. The staff and guards are very rude and unwelcoming. The lobby has a lot of insects and mosquitos, and occasionally reeks of bad odor. The gym is a disaster: broken machines, busted dumbbells and benches, has cracks on the walls, smells incredibly bad also because of its lack of ventilation, accompanied by an extremely unpleasant smelling restroom that results to it being almost impossible to enter because of. The hallways always smell bad that it sticks to your clothes as you pass along. The roads in the complex are not well-thought of, resulting to its compromising of the ease of the vehicles passing by and/or when picking-up residents in front of the lobby. The elevators are completely inefficient and will often times pass your floor, also smells terrible, and will give you headaches especially when you’re in a rush. This list can go on and on. The only good thing? The basketball court. The community of the homeowners who often go there is often good and wholesome, BUT THAT’S IT! Be kind to your self, just don’t go here, and be spared of the stress you don’t deserve or need.
