Swimming in the pool of ball like a kid at Novotel Manila Araneta Center. |
Novotel Manila Araneta Center is one of the most child-friendly hotels that we visited. They have vibrantly colored areas for kids where they can read books or comics and play with video games on a galaxy themed room and at an indoor ball pit where they can dive, slide and swim in the pool of balls. Kids can also dip and swim at the kid’s pool area located on the 6th floor of Novotel.
