MANILA, Philippines - Enjoy Christmas and vacation trips at a holiday paradise with families and friends. The San Juanico Golf Hotel, a 30-room hotel surrounded with breathtaking verdant landscape of flat and gently sloping greens, panorama of endless rolling hills and mountains, offers world-class amenities and accommodations to those visiting Eastern Visayas.Guests at the hotel get an exquisite view of the San Juanico Bridge, a historic structure and an engineering marvel that spans two kilometers across the strait that connects Samar and Leyte provinces. It is considered the most beautiful sea-spanning bridge in the Philippines.
The San Juanico Golf Hotel is situated inside the gates of the San Juanico Golf, Park and Country Club in Barangay Camansihay, Tacloban City, just 10 kms from downtown and 21 kms from the airport. After fine-tuning, the hotel is in full operation and well prepared for the holiday season. It offers a complete menu of first-class services and amenities for all its guests seeking a relaxing vacation away from their stressful urban routine.
Golfers will definitely enjoy their game at the 18-hole golf course while families and friends have fun time at the hotel in its private patio, surrounded with the beauty of its elegant yet laid-back ambiance; the delicious gourmet cuisine at the golf country clubhouse and the services of highly trained, friendly and attentive staff.
“There is always a need for quality accommodations in Tacloban. With this in mind, we have more to share especially with the growing populace discovering what Eastern Visayas has to offer. The San Juanico Golf Hotel joins the long list of Tacloban destinations, including the MacArthur and Santo Nino Shrines, beautiful churches, top hospitals, malls and universities.
“Tacloban is also very accessible with 10 flights arriving daily at its airport. We are proud that the new hotel can offer our golf members, their families, friends, balikbayans, tourists, vacationers, enthusiasts and travelers the best of the famous Tacloban hospitality, food, ambiance, convenience and comfort,” said Victor Domingo, the Kapitan of the San Juanico Golf, Park and Country Club.
New tourist destination
According to Mimi Acacio, CEO of the San Juanico Golf Hotel, the hotel design is especially geared toward all ages, making them feel relaxed and at home while enjoying the beauty of both nature and conformity with the hotel interiors.
“We have to find a balance between the already beautiful landscape outdoors and our goal to provide a relaxed, aesthetic – pleasing look indoors. I am pleased that we have achieved a homely, carefree elegance in interior designs, in our rooms without and with private patios and the rest of our amenities.
“Once inside the hotel, all your nagging concerns just melt away. Just sit back and enjoy our services or you can go outdoors and play with the children, bond with family and friends, or simply take early morning or late afternoon walks along the fairways on greens or cemented pathways. Our swimming pools - one for adults and another for the kids - are a great way to have fun, relax and exercise,” she said.
Acacio added that they paid attention to details for the guests’ comfort and enjoyment. Even the drapes, beddings and other room accessories are customized for the homely and elegant presentation.
“Liza Cahilig, who supplied the drapes and bedding accessories, did a wonderful job. Here at the San Juanico Golf Hotel we make guests’ convenience and satisfaction an absolute priority. We represent the best that Tacloban and the Eastern Visayas have to offer. Our goal is to make our guests as comfortable as possible by giving them every convenience and providing their needs,” she said.
The hotel, horseback riding, gourmet cuisine
Acacio pointed out that the interior and exterior of each of the 30 rooms - from top to the lower levels - is one of her innovations, including architectural designs by architect Edito Cumpio, with an unobstructed, panoramic view of the fairway, endless rolling hills and mountains, and the famous San Juanico Bridge. The San Juanico Golf Hotel is also set apart by its ultimate offer of exclusivity - selected rooms are available for purchase.
“It is the ultimate in exclusivity. The buyer will have ownership of a unit in a world-class, full-service hotel with all the amenities and our excellent service staff at their beck and call. Would-be owners of these units will have the best of condotel living - as a second home or as a leisure hideaway,” she said.
