Holiday beckons at Ibom Hotel & Golf Resort

-

On Nwaniba Road, a few kilometres away from Uyo, the Akwa Ibom State capital, lies a hospitalit­y jewel. Tucked in a lush tropical landscape, Ibom Hotel & Golf Resort is a prime leisure and business hotel by all standards.

The serenity of the environmen­t amidst tropical beauties easily gives away the outfit as a top get-away and holiday option for discerning vacation seekers, especially this Christmas.

Its world-class accommodat­ion option is a true complement of other facilities conceptual­ised by the owners to glue guests to a sustained leisure outing and memorable experience afterwards. The private terraces in each of the 130 guest rooms, 26 suites, and seven chalets will indulge you. Besides, each room looks over a forest of palm trees and the golf course. The panoramic view created by this special offering is compared to that of viewing the Atlantic Ocean from the comfort of one’s hotel room.

Of course, the height of excitement at Ibom resort is the 18-hole golf course, which has attracted best golfers from far and near to battle for honour on its lush and well-trimmed lawns. The emphasis on the exclusive and luxury sports allows guests to meet with top personalit­ies who, while on a golf retreat, may share same table or swimming time with other guests. The rooms and other excitement­s may not make sense to you if you visit when golf tournament­s are on because they are so engaging.

Apart from the golf course, the resort indulges guests in memorable leisure through other facilities such as three bars, three stylish restaurant­s, Marina Club House & BBQ Terrace, a heliport, three retail shops, a hair salon, and a VIP lounge.

With all its nature endowments and the world-class facilities, the idyllic resort truly woos you to a golf and leisure retreat.

Similarly, the needs of the corporate and business worlds are adequately met through the hotel’s conference and banquet facilities. While the banquet hall accommodat­es up to 1,000 people, there are various options for meetings and seminars. As well, the hotel’s business centre includes rental office space and ten function rooms.

Emphasis is further laid on leisure with other recreation­al facilities such as a fitness and health club, outdoor children’s and adult pools, two Jacuzzis, tennis and squash facilities, Ibom Golf Club, as well as, a riverside marina with a floating jetty.

Of course, the Akwa Ibom axis is known for its great traditiona­l culinary prowess. You will be feted with enough local dishes that keep whetting your appetite.

As well, you have a whole range of continenta­l dishes and specialise­d cuisines developed by Ibom Hotel & Golf Resort’s internal talent to choose from.

Now that many airlines fly to Uyo, especially Ibom Air, the journey to discover this hide-out is short and more convenient. But an ardent golfer will not forget a swell experience at the resort in a hurry.
