MANILA, Philippines - The 400-room Henann Resort Alona Beach Bohol, the biggest resort project in Bohol, is all set to start operations on April 15.
“We continue the Henann legacy of providing world-class accommodations and top-notch service. As the province celebrates ‘Visit Bohol 2015’, it is only fitting we formally open our doors to the public this year,” said Dr. Henry Chusuey, chairman of the Henann Group of Resorts.
Built within a sprawling 6.5-hectare property along Alona Beach in Panglao Island, Henann Resort Alona Beach Bohol boasts of the longest beachfront along Alona Beach. It features several room categories - from exclusive pool villas to a presidential suite - and rooms with direct pool access. The resort has three massive swimming pools with pool bar.
Currently under construction is a three-story, 2,160-square meter convention center that can house up to 1,000 guests. Other amenities include an open air venue for weddings, VIP lounge for special guests, fitness and business centers, and a mini shop.
Other famous Henann brands will also be operational by the second quarter of the year. These include the Kai Spa, Sea Breeze Cafe (an all-day buffet restaurant), and Christina’s (Western fine dining).
The Henann Group of Resorts owns and operates Boracay Regency (soon to be called Henann Regency), Henann Lagoon Resort, and Henann Garden Resort in Boracay. It has four more beachfront properties in Boracay which will bring a total number of 1,400 rooms in Boracay Island alone.
Chusuey said he chanced upon the Panglao property during one of his ocular visits in Bohol in November 2010. He was captured by its natural beauty and saw its potential to be the next big tourist destination in the country. This led him to quickly strike a deal with the former Swiss owner.
The province of Bohol is centrally located in the Visayas region and is only an hour away by plane from Manila. Land transfers from provincial capital Tagbilaran City to Henann Resort Alona Beach takes 30 minutes.
Aside from the Chocolate Hills and the Philippine tarsier, Bohol is also famous for landmarks and attractions such as the Dauis Church, Blood Compact Shrine, Magsaysay Camp, and Loboc River. Popular tourist activities include bird spotting in Rajah Sikatuna National Park, diving in Panglao Island and whale and dolphin watching in Bohol Sea, among others.
