The Heart of Fun and Luxury

Fun for the whole family awaits visitors to the Jpark Island Resort and Waterpark in Lapu-Lapu City

-

For many Filipinos, quality time–even in this hectic day and age–involves being together with one’s family, doing activities that everyone can enjoy. Most people are content staying home or heading to the mall on weekends; some go on road trips in order to enjoy the scenery.

But for the family that wants to add a dash of excitement to time well spent in each other’s company, there’s one place in Cebu that offers a wealth of experience­s to enjoy: Jpark Island Resort and Waterpark.

Jpark Island has welcomed both local and foreign tourists to Lapu-Lapu City in Cebu for nearly a decade. Featuring warm Cebuano hospitalit­y combined with modern amenities and numerous choices for leisure and entertainm­ent, it has been rated a solid five stars by the Department of Tourism and is considered a favoured destinatio­n in the Central and Southern Philippine­s.

At present, it boasts over 500 rooms and suites—each designed following a clean modern aesthetic that is both attractive and relaxing—and amenities that provide maximum comfort. For those seeking a more private getaway, Jpark Island also offers 44 one-bedroom and four two-bedroom villas, each with its own plunge pool or hot tub, as well as a sundeck.

Along with business and fitness centres and a spa, Jpark Island also offers such pleasures as a water sports centre for those gunning for the thrill of jet-skiing and wakeboardi­ng, its own private beach and dive shop, and a dedicated play and activity area for children. Plus, it boasts of the largest water fun park in Cebu, which was designed by DreamPark Internatio­nal USA. The park offers a large main pool and five

themed pools, as well as three water slides for thrill seekers.

All that excitement is bound to whet appetites, and Jpark offers an extensive array of cuisines to choose from, including all-day buffet dining and lighter café-style fare. One can enjoy authentic Korean dishes at Maru, while The Snow offers a sweet finale with its take on the classic bingsu [shaved ice dessert]. Havana by the Sea, on the other hand, offers al fresco dining with unimpeded views of the sea to be enjoyed over tapas and a number of Caribbean specialiti­es.

Jpark is also set to take its brand of luxurious excitement to the pristine shores of Bohol with Jpark Island Panglao—another exciting destinatio­n in the making whose first phase will open in 2020.

Luxury accommodat­ions, aquatic fun, a long beach from which to enjoy Cebu’s magnificen­t sunsets, and some of the best dining options in the region—it’s all there for the family at Jpark Island.
