Mimosa+ is quietly emerging as one of Clark’s most exciting estate developments. While many remember it as the former site of Holiday Inn Clark, now home to Quest Plus Conference Center, few realize that the estate also features private villas nestled around the golf course, perfect for staycations and intimate events. With the Filinvest Mall set to open before year-end and a signature Filipino restaurant by Chef Carlos Villaflor on the horizon, Mimosa+ is steadily transforming into a premier lifestyle destination in Clark, Pampanga.
We spent Mother’s Day at Villa One, enjoying a relaxing staycation and exploring the best of Mimosa+ before its next wave of exciting developments opens to the public. 🌿✨
villa one
Villa One is directly in front of Quest+ Hotel and flanked by two smaller villas, ideal for bigger parties or multi-family staycations.
Villa One has a king-sized bed, ideal for a couple, with space for the bunso to sleep in the middle.
The restroom is spacious, with a bathtub in the center, a lounge area, and his-and-hers sinks for a luxurious bath experience.
The shower and toilet areas are located at both ends, with a transparent design that allows views across the restroom.
The sofa area is where we usually lounge and watch movies with the family. We added three extra beds around for the kiddos.
The pool was crystal clear, and the water was cool—not cold or hot—so big that it was hard to play Marco Polo.
We loved the dining area, perfect for a family of six, and enjoyed a comfortable in-room breakfast here.
There is a small pantry area for heating food or for catering use.
Welcome treats include cookies, fruits, and a handwritten welcome note, which is always nice to receive.
The in-room free bar treats are always a nice gesture—peanuts, chips, gummy candies, and good coffee.
driving range
Golf is becoming popular even among kids, often starting at the driving range near the golf course.
So far, this is the best sunset spot in Mimosa+, especially on weekends when the DJ starts playing to set the mood.
Kids can learn proper form while having fun, and there’s always that excitement when you hit the ball far.
We recommend this as a good family bonding activity—₱400 for 100 balls plus ₱100 for club rental.
mequeni live
Mequeni Live is the Kapampangan and international buffet restaurant of Quest+ Clark.
(note: “Mequeni” is a Kapampangan word that translates to English as “Come here.”)
The best feature is the live cooking of sisig, customizable to your preference, along with steaks cooked to your liking.
Sisig in Pampanga is always the best, especially right off the pan with a bit of chili and a dash of calamansi.
Great to meet Chef Danny Gonzales again, whom I first met in Misibis Bay and who is at the helm of Mequeni Live and Rare.
I also like their soup options, like laksa and other noodle soups.
The buffet had good food options, and in Kapampangan land, the food is guaranteed to be delicious.
The Pork Barbecue Ribs were our favorite—ang sarap, we had to go back for seconds and thirds.
You can find your own private nook, and the buffet is sulit for the kids but not for the parents.
For dessert, they feature a rotating ice cream display freezer similar to Admiral Club, with our fav flavors—coffee, ube, cheese.
bamboo biking
You can rent bamboo bikes from the concierge on a first-come, first-served basis to explore Filinvest Mimosa+.
There’s a biking path around the estate, with a stop at The Book Stop, an honesty library where guests can borrow and read books.
You can bike to the golf course and driving range, and explore scenic photo spots around the estate.
quest+ breakfast
We loved the in-room breakfast setup by 9:00am and the kids literally just woken up to this breakfast spread.
Breakfast favorites include longsilog, pancakes, a big breakfast, and pastries, with healthier options like a white omelette.
For a more curated and private breakfast experience, the best option is the breakfast at the Quest Club Lounge.
The vibe is relaxed and airy, the service is prompt, and you can customize your breakfast to your liking.
There’s also a wide selection of toppings and sauces for bread, pancakes, and waffles.
We love the booth tables here and the rooftop view of the golf course and the surrounding Mimosa+ estate.
foam party
The legendary foam party fun from Crimson Boracay is also held here on weekends, depending on the peak crowd.
The kids were really looking forward to this and had so much fun playing in the foam.
sunday mass
Sunday is not complete without hearing Mass at Our Lady of Remedies Chapel, just a few minutes away from the Mimosa+ estate.
Catch the 5 PM Sunday Mass in English, and make sure to arrive early to secure seats; the church is air-conditioned.
food trip
RARE, the acclaimed steakhouse at Quest Plus in Mimosa+ Filinvest, is one of the top dining destinations in Clark, Pampanga. It’s the ideal venue for special celebrations, especially if you’re craving premium steaks in an elegant setting. More than ever, Clark is proving itself to be a thriving food and leisure destination just a short two-hour drive from Manila.

Firehouse Pizza, located on the corner ground floor of Quest Plus (formerly Crimson Alabang), is a low-key favorite for good pizza and fried chicken — underrated, consistently solid, and perfect for family gatherings. We celebrated Raphael’s birthday here and enjoyed the pleasant service and relaxed vibe, with pizzas that come out crisp and generously topped, plus juicy, well-seasoned fried chicken that’s great for sharing. They also opened in Filinvest Mimosa+ The Shoppes and it is always packed!

Maison Matcha Sea Salt Latte is legit and quite good and your go to Matcha stop at the Filinvest Shoppes Mimosa.
Soon, the Filinvest Mimosa+ Clark mall is set to open before the year ends.
final thoughts
Overall, this is one of the most memorable Mother’s Day staycations we’ve experienced in Clark. What stands out is the freedom to explore the wider Filinvest Mimosa+ estate instead of being confined to the hotel grounds. Staying in Villa One also gives you the feel of having your own private home in Clark.
Our highlights include the in-room breakfast at the villa, the celebration at Rare Steakhouse, and time at the driving range. You can also bike around the estate and explore the nearby Clark Parade Grounds, located just behind Quest Plus Conference Center Clark. Can’t wait for the mall to open.
