A RELAXING GETAWAY ANYA RESORT TAGAYTAY

For spacious accommodations, top-of-the-line recreational facilities, and sumptuous gourmet fare, look no further than Anya Resort Tagaytay, a new luxury property south of Manila. This secluded development is one of only four in the Philippines to be awarded membership among the Small Luxury Hotels of the World.

Guests can check into one of 80 luxury suites, which boast impressive views of the pool, garden, and surrounding nature. Booking at the resort also entitles you to the services of a Lifestyle Assistant, who guarantees a worry-free stay by handling all arrangements. Put your mind at ease and relax at the wellness spa and heated pool, and treat yourself to western and Mediterranean dishes at the Samira, Anila, and Amra restaurants.

REAP THE BENEFITS DUSIT THANI

Dusit Thani Manila’s latest come-on for its loyal patrons arrives in the form of a special membership programme. The Dusit Thani Lifestyle Card Programme offers optimum benefits for lovers of food, entertainment, and the finer things in life.

Privileges include up to 50 per cent discount for dining outlets Umu, Benjarong, and The Pantry, as well as excellent rates for the hotel’s accommodations. The primary objective is to provide value for money without compromising quality. “At Dusit Thani Manila, we continuously look for new opportunities to expand our brand and product offerings as reward to the loyalty of our members,” says hotel general manager Bruno Cristol.

UPCOMING EXPANSIONS SEDA HOTELS

Since it first opened in 2012, Ayala Land Hotels and Resorts Corp’s Seda has expanded its room capacity to an impressive 817, with the number spread over its five properties in Bonifacio Global City, Cagayan de Oro, Davao, Laguna, and Iloilo. Ideal locations notwithstanding, Seda properties often receive positive feedback from guests, thanks to the efficient service rendered by hotel staff.

Throughout this year up to 2019, the company will be adding over 2,400 rooms across nine destinations, including the newly opened Seda Vertis in Quezon City, Seda Capitol Central in Bacolod, a standalone tower at Seda BGC, and Lio, a new tourism estate in El Nido, Palawan.
