I was recently at the New World Manila Bay Hotel for a quick meeting and was a bit surprised to find out that the hotel has been re-branded (this used to be a Hyatt hotel). The hotel is operated by the New World group controlled by the recently departed Hong Kong billionaire Cheng Yu Tung of Chow Tai Fook fame. The lobby lounge still looks and feels familiar, but it seems to me that the casino crowd isn't as plentiful as before. The light merienda buffet costs something like P650, and the serving staff make you feel very much at home. The place is still elegant, but somehow, it's not as lively as before.
