alona palm beach resort

Alona Palm Beach Resort & Restaurant is located on a slightly elevated area in the middle of a tropical garden, spacious and quiet. A 60 meter wide coconut palm grove divides the 12 luxury villas from the white beach. Almost all villas offer pool, coconut palm grove and sea view. The open restaurant, overlooking the pool and sea, offers excellent Filipino and international cuisine, prepared by an experienced German chief. Accommodations All the villas are elegantly furnished, either with a king size bed (180 x 200 cm) or two double sized beds (140 x 200 cm). Each villa is built with a terrace with sun beds, table, chairs & ceiling fan and equipped with en-suite bathrooms, split type air conditioners and ceiling fan, satellite TV, telephone with dataport for Internet access, personal safe box, mini bar, tea/coffeemaker and hairdryer. Facilities What a treasure Alona Palm Beach Resort is indeed with its luxurious villa accommodations and unobtrusive service, making it a popular choice for honeymooners. The resort is immaculate and well kept. Despite their odd shape, the rooms are spacious and well appointed. The villas are built, in some consideration with the natural terrain, such that each one offers a great view of either the pool, the coconut palm grove, or the sea. Food and beverage facilities are limited to an open-restaurant and a pool bar. The menu, however, more than makes up for the lack of restaurant choices. Many of those wanting a swim at the beach might not get passed the pleasant and huge outdoor infinity pool located in the center of the resort. Sport and recreation facilities offered at the resort are few, but are in sync with the relaxed atmosphere. The more active tourist can count on alternative options available in nearby establishments located along Alona Beach. Rates provide good value for money, and the staff’s friendly demeanor, not to mention its proximity to world-class dive sites, make Alona Palm Beach Resort one of Bohol’s best kept secrets – up until now that is. Amenities Separate accommodation can be offered for a yaya/babysitter which accompanies a family, in a separate native style building. The big bathrooms offer hot and cold shower, two lavabos, toilet and a dressing table. Room Amenities:• Split type air conditioners and ceiling fan in the room, • Ceiling fan on terrace, • Satellite TV, • Telephone with data port for Internet access, • Personal safe box, • Minibar, • Tea/Coffeemaker, • Hairdryer, • Terrace with sun beds, table, chairs.alona resort

Amanpulo Palawan

Amanpulo is set on its own private island: Pamalican is among the Quiniluban group, which makes up the northern half of the Cuyo Islands. The southern half is called the Cuyo group. Pamalican is one of the nearly 1,800 islands in the province of Palawan. The largest province in the Philippines, Palawan is about 600 kilometers south and southwest of Manila. Pamalican is a low-lying coralline island covered with a sandy jungle of scrub and thorn-bush thickets. At its widest point, the 5.5-kilometer island is only 500 meters across. Accommodation The resort's 40 casitas, 65-square-meter bungalows in hillside and beachside settings, are modeled after the Philippine bahay kubo (native hut). Inside, decorative details reflect the islands: pebble-washed walls; coconut-shell and seashell tables; rustic Palawan rice and knife baskets; a king-size bed with a rattan headboard; sliding glass doors that reveal outdoor decks and his-and-her divans. Nearly half the space in a casita is given over to a Cebu marble bathroom, with twin vanities, separate changing areas, a shower and an elegant bathtub lit by twin wood windows. Amanpulo's 29 beach casitas come with a private path that leads through a tangle of bush directly onto a white-sand beach. Four treetop casitas climb with the palm trees above the island. Of the seven hillside casitas, two offer especially fine views: sunrise and sunset are visible from casita #39; from the 250-liter, marble bathtub in #40, take in the beach and watch the sun set into the Sulu Sea. The casitas are linked to the resort's facilities by sidewalk-size roads. Guests get around on open-sided, gasoline powered carts, one to each casita. Amanpulo also has its own private holiday villa for rent. Casa Kalikasan is a luxurious, four-bedroom residence located just a few meters from the sea. The 4,140-meter compound counts nine separate salas, including a lounge, a dining pavilion, a fully equipped kitchen and a beach pavilion, all designed around a grass courtyard. Villa guests have access to all Amanpulo facilities and services. Three staff, permanently assigned to the villa, look after guest needs. Water Sports Activities Sailing The brilliant-blue waters of the Sulu Sea are superb cruising grounds. Amanpulo keeps a variety of boats for island hopping, deep-sea fishing and lazy-day sailing. The Hobie Sports 21, a twin-hulled cruiser, is made for fun, and guests get a 30-minute, complimentary ride during their stay. Amanpulo also maintains a smaller catamaran (a Hobie 16), as well as two Lasers and a fast-planing, fiberglass ski boat. Sailing lessons are available. Dolphin I, Amanpulo's 31-foot fiberglass Gulf Craft, handles everything but the longest charters. A later version, Dolphin II, is three feet longer and equipped with a Yamaha 200hsp twin engine. Dolphin II can take up to 10 guests on half-day and full-day charters. Rounding out the fleet are two spacious pontoon boats - double-decker party boats for snorkeling and sunbathing, as well as sunset cruises and cocktails. Windsurfing Amanpulo is a magnet for beginners as well as experienced windsurfers. The island's sand-bottom blue lagoon, located on the windward side, makes for world-class board sailing from December through April. During this period, the northeast trade winds blow, on average, about 20 knots an hour. A Neil Pryde test center, Amanpulo is able to provide top-of-the-line equipment, from 3.6-meter wave sails to 6.5-meter V6 slalom sails, along witha variety of slalom boards and rigs. Amanpulo's Windsurf Hut is located under a canopy of trees just back of Pamalican's east-coast beach. Fishing Bottom fish for snapper and grouper at one of Amanpulo's favored fishing spots or troll for wahoo, tuna and mackarel. The resort's 25-foot, center console game boat is equipped with a five-line spread for game fishing. Snorkeling and Kayaking Snorkelers can commandeer one of the Malibu ocean kayaks. Tie up at one of several buoys and take to the sea from there. The clam and the pier areas are popular stops; several scuba diving sites are also accessible to snorkelers. Scuba Diving Aquaventure, Amanpulo's dive company, is a five-star PADI operation offering courses ranging from introductory to advanced. For novice divers, Amanpulo is a welcoming retreat, with glassy seasin front of the Beach Pavilion and a gentle drop-off to deeper waters. For certified divers, there are a number of fine sites on both sides of Pamalican, all within easy reach by dive boat. (Certified divers should bring their C-cards with them; non-certified divers are advised to bring a medical certificate.) All equipment is provided by Amanpulo's Dive Shop. Underwater lights are also available. Divers must be at least 12 years of age. Programs are subject to availability.
