With health and safety is the utmost priority, the resort complex has a 100 percent vaccinated work force and is equipped with disinfectant technologies to give guests peace of mind when staying at the resort.
As Asia’s newest leisure colony, NUSTAR is envisioned to be a choice venue for business events, conferences, social gatherings, and entertainment events in showcasing Filipino culture and artistry at its state-of-the-art performing arts theater.
The recreational enclave is expected to be a hub for domestic and international Meetings, Incentives, Conventions and Exhibitions (MICE), with its spacious exhibition halls, elegant ballrooms, and high-tech support facilities suited for big events.
The property will also have a water theme park and viewing deck located at the pinnacle of the main NUSTAR Hotel tower, overlooking the mountains and the seas of Cebu.
