Meet the Floral Expert Transforming Solaire Resort North

Walk through the grand lobby of Solaire Resort North and you’ll notice it immediately—an unmistakable sense of calm, elegance, and vibrance. Every petal, every stem, every flourish of greenery feels intentional, composed, and artfully placed. These landscapes and floral signatures don’t appear by chance. They are living expressions of the woman who envisioned them: Anna Fay Rosal, Florist Manager of Solaire Resort North.

With over 20 years of experience in floral event styling, seasonal décor, and luxury hospitality, Anna Fay brings a cultivated eye and deeply personal touch to every corner of the resort. Her philosophy is simple yet profound. Flowers are not merely decorations; they are stories of place, memory, and emotion.

“There is always a way to make people feel something through flowers,” she often says. And at Solaire Resort North, she does just that, every single day.

An Architect of Beauty, Literally

Before entering the world of luxury florals, Anna Fay studied Architecture at the University of Santo Tomas, one of the country’s most esteemed design institutions. That foundation shaped her approach to floral design with a profound understanding of space, structure, proportion, and flow. To her, arrangements must not only look stunning—they must belong.
Before coming to Solaire Resort North, she spent two decades honing her craft in the luxury hotel industry. She refined her skills, successfully designing, executing, and managing décor for grand seasonal installations, hotel promotions, intimate celebrations, and major social events while leading a team of florists, gardeners, and decorators.

From sourcing exquisite florals to collaborating with engineers and contractors on large-scale installations, she mastered the unique balance of imagination, budget, quality, and execution that the hospitality industry requires.

Cultivating Experiences at Solaire Resort North

Today, Anna Fay lends her expertise to Solaire Resort North, creating a visual language that reflects the resort’s spirit. Warm yet modern, opulent but never intimidating. In her craft, she builds upon the belief that flowers are what breathe life into each space. Each decision she makes for her floral arrangements aims to enhance and blend with the art pieces they accompany.

“I consider the interior and its palette to enhance them with the flowers,” she says. From colors to artistic detail, she brings unity to the property through the balance and harmony her flowers introduce.

Together with her talented team, she transforms spaces through floral arrangements, indoor landscapes, seasonal décor, and event styling, ensuring that every guest, from the lobby to the restaurants to the different floors, feels welcomed and inspired.

Step into the property on any given day and you’ll find thoughtfully curated vignettes. Fresh roses that change with the week’s palette, orchids suspended like jewelry, tropical greens celebrating Filipino heritage, or whimsical installations that mark upcoming holidays.

Her team works quietly and diligently, often before dawn, refreshing arrangements, so guests encounter beauty at its peak. It is hospitality expressed through nature, alive, breathing, and ever-changing.

Crafting Florals Worth Taking Home

For guests who want a piece of her artistry beyond the resort, Anna Fay and the Floral Team at Solaire Resort North now offer personalized floral arrangements, available exclusively at Solaire Boutique inside the property. Whether for a celebration, a thoughtful gift, a corporate gesture, or simply a beautiful addition to the home, each bouquet is designed with the same intention and refinement as seen throughout the resort.

For reservations and inquiries, visit https://sn.solaireresort.com/, call +632 8888 8888 or email sn.retail@solaireresort.com to reserve your next personalized floral arrangement.

Oasis Garden Cafe - Solaire Resort and Casino


For desserts or if you just feel like you're craving for something sweet then this is what I will recommend. One of our stops in Zomato Foodcrawl.





Oasis Garden Cafe is a refreshing centerpiece to the spacious Sky Tower atrium. Bedecked in elaborate bird’s nest interiors, this restaurant is highlighted by a transparent glass roof that brings life to a multihued backdrop of foliage, blooms, and cascading water features.
From morning until early evening, Oasis Garden Cafe offers a wide selection of coffee, tea, traditional snacks, and artisanal finger sandwiches. By sundown, the vibe turns into that of a stylish lounge that offers a full complement of cocktails and drinks served with the usual Solaire panache.


We got Red Velvet Cake with vanilla mascaporne filling and fresh strawberries, Layers of almond caramel filled with caramell butterscotch parfait and roasted almonds, Butter Scotch Macaron Cake and Caramel Cheese Cake. Of all the three pastries I must say that the sweetness are not very overpowering but rather just enough to satisfy your sweet tooth so I'm sure that even diabetics will love it. By the way, before anything else, the desserts that was served to us was not part of their regular menu except for caramel cheese cake so I posted what you can find from their display instead.



And to match those sweet desserts we had Oasis Blend Tea(Oasis Specialty) and Earl Grey(Aromatic Combination of Earl Grey and Vanilla Cream). I'm already sold out on the Ambiance of this Cafe and like it even more when I got a taste of their desserts.

Yakumi Japanese Restaurant in Solaire


Another Restaurant that became a part of our Food Crawl that same day was with Yakumi a Japanese Restaurant in Solaire Resort and Casino.


Whether it’s Sushi, Sashimi, Robatayaki or the freshest fish and crustaceans, world-class ingredients are the highlight of Yakumi. Solaire Resort and Casino’s signature Japanese restaurant in Manila, Philippines offers only the best Japanese dishes created by some of the world’s top Japanese chefs. This Japanese dining destination features an expansive open kitchen that allows patrons of the restaurant to witness how the ingredients–sourced largely from Japan, are prepared carefully like a perfected way of life, and how it is blended using aged traditional techniques, and modern presentations to provide dining customers’ palate, an incredible experience, no other Japanese restaurant here in Manila can provide. Two private Teppanyaki rooms for intimate occasions are available for customers’ exclusive special gatherings and our Sake sommeliers will be by your side during your dining stay to provide their recommendations from our wine selections to complement your meal.


What we had there was something new for me and it is called Fortune Maki Roll or Ehou Maki, which is not the other maki's that I use to taste, this one is pretty special because it is a Japanese Tradition to eat  this maki in whole and I mean everything and it is not the sliced version of maki were you can eat in pieces, and what even astounded me more is the actual size of that maki which is probably a few more centimeters thicker than my arm and I think around 12 inches long so I can just imagine the kind of appetite that you should have to take that challenge. I learned that they do not cut it because if they do it like cutting up your fortune or the money that should be flowing in your house. Fortune Maki can be composed of 7 ingredients which you may choose the composition of your Fotune Maki according to your preference. What I tasted filled my stomach for as you know maki always does that to me, but for heavy eater this is a recommended dish in Yakumi.


One small note is that I like the wasabe that they have because it is not the powdered version. So the effect is definitely different, not the spice that will jump in your nose upon tasting so it is all natural and goes well with your Ehou Maki.



Red Lantern Signature Cantonese Restaurant


As they say the name is a beacon calling out to diners from all over the world who enjoy the best Cantonese dishes to come to Solaire Resort and Casino’s signature Chinese restaurant, Red Lantern. Suckling Pig, Peking Duck, a wide array of delicious homemade dim sums are just the beginning of the restaurant’s list of mouthwatering, and authentic gourmet spectacles that dining patrons here in Manila, Philippines can enjoy. Ingredients arrive daily from Hong Kong, Singapore and Malaysia, all for the enjoyment of food lovers here in Manila. Whether you gather for a private party or simply feel like feasting, Red Lantern signature Chinese restaurant at Solaire Resort and Casino will sure impress.


This next food crawl stop that we had was awesome as well, dinning in to the Signature Cantonese Restaurant in Solaire and got to taste one of their specialties which is the Wuxi Braised Ribs which outsiders often called 'Wuxi Meat Bones' a traditional dish of local cuisine, came from Wuxi San Fong Bridge braised meat, one of the old Chinese villages in China.

Wuxi Braised Ribs
It has color red sauce, crisp into the fragrant, moderate sweet and savory and definitely delicious. Another tender meat treat that I had that day and this is of course highly recommended.

Waterside Restobar


Got a Chance to experience a fine dine of Surf n Turf in this restaurant which is pretty good, I can say that it you can be filled with chunky, fresh and delicious meal. This is going to be the first restaurant for Solaire Resort and Casino that I will blog about.

An all-day dining restaurant that enjoys a fascinating bayside ambience. It serves Latin American and Mediterranean specialties and features a unique ensemble of show kitchens, which includes a paella cooking station, churrascaria, rotisserie, and tapas bar.

Lets start with the Paella which is perhaps not your ordinary paella although I didn't really ate everything in it, from what I tasted, It has something more and you can taste all the ingredients that is in the presentation of the dish and they used Spanish Bamba Rice from Levante for this. And for the preparation of Paella, they recommend that you give them around 30 minutes for preparation.


For Surf n Turf it is composed of Hangar Steak, Pork Back Ribs, Prawns, Salmon. I think there is also a salad but of course knowing me..I didn't pay attention to that part being a carnivore.


This such a treat that's what I can say, I personally like the salmon part of the platter, really tender and satisfies my taste bud, as well as pork back ribs that taste a little sweet, the fresh prawns that is around 6-8 inches big from my estimate, and the juicy hangar steak that is a pretty good combination and something that a meat lover like me will love, this meal can be shared by 4 and probably 6 people and I will recommend that you order some extra rice for this.
