PROPERTY giant Megaworld Corp., through its subsidiary brand Global-Estate Resorts Inc. (Geri), is opening its second hotel development inside the 150-hectare Boracay Newcoast next month.
The P2.1-billion Belmont Hotel Boracay is a three-tower hotel located within the sloping area of the estate just beside Savoy Hotel Boracay, and overlooking the eastern beach of Boracay Island.
The hotel features 442 rooms with choices of Deluxe Twin or Queen, Premiere Deluxe, and Executive Suites, with sizes ranging from 27 square meters to 52 square meters. It also offers special rooms for persons with disability (PWDs).
Raymundo Melendrez, managing director of Luxury Global Hotels and Leisure Inc., the company operating Belmont Hotels under the Megaworld Hotels Group, said the hotel offers all-day dining at Belmont Café, featuring cuisines with Asian and Mediterranean influences.
Melendrez said located within the ground level, the restaurant will utilize local fresh farm produce to support the farmers in Aklan and other nearby provinces.
“Our second hotel under the Belmont brand will offer an exclusive nature experience in the paradise island of Boracay, as it allows guests to see the island’s panoramic natural scenery from one building to another – from the vast sea to the lush mountains and hills of the island and other nearby islands,” he added.
Two more food and beverage outlets will also open in the hotel: the Zabana Pool Bar at the second level deck, and the Trellis Garden within the landscaped deck that connects the two towers of the hotel.
Also, Belmont Hotel Boracay features a wide array of amenities and services that include a swimming pool and in-pool lounge, Aqua Spa, courtyard, landscaped gardens, fitness center with shower and changing rooms, business center, function halls, meeting rooms, a full-time Concierge, 24-hour In-room Dining Service, and complimentary shuttle services.
GERI president Monica Salomon, for her part, said their continuing thrust to help boost tourism in the country is even gaining more momentum as we open more hotels across our tourism townships.
GERI, as the developer of Boracay Newcoast, remains committed to help build our country through tourism developments, she added.
Belmont Hotel is the second homegrown hotel brand introduced under Megaworld Hotels, the company in a press release said.
The first Belmont Hotel opened in Newport City in 2015. Another Belmont Hotel is set to open in Iloilo Business Park by 2023, it added. (PR)
