Tycoon Andrew Tan’s Megaworld Corporation, the country’s largest developer and operator of homegrown Filipino hotel brands, is building its second hotel project inside its 462-hectare Paragua Coastown ecotourism township in San Vicente, Palawan.
In a disclosure to the Philippine Stock Exchange, the firm said the 10-story Paragua Sands Hotel will offer 313 guest rooms and suites in varied layouts, ideal for tourists and travelers.
Room types and sizes range from Twin Suite (up to 32 square meters), Queen Suite (up to 32.5 square meters), Junior Suite (up to 61 square meters), Executive Suite (up to 60.5 square meters), and Presidential Suite (140 square meters).
There will also be dedicated Specially-Abled Suites (up to 34 square meters) for guests needing special room arrangements during their stay.
These rooms will feature varying views of the nearby mountains and the nearby Pagdanan Bay.
“We are very excited to introduce our 20th hotel property in our portfolio, and what better destination to host it than in San Vicente, Palawan, which is home to the longest beachline in the country and the second longest in the entire Southeast Asia,” said Megaworld Hotels and Resorts Managing Director Cleofe Albiso.
Paragua Sands Hotel will be just a five-minute walk to both the beach and the mangrove reserve park, which will form part of the sprawling township.
It will sit right beside Savoy Hotel Palawan and Oceanfront Premier Residences, the first hotel and residential condominium developments rising inside the township respectively, and surrounded by lots from the soon-to-rise Mercato Shophouse District nearby.
Paragua Sands Hotel will feature a variety of facilities and amenities located at the central amenity area on the second and third floors.
These include its own swimming pool and kiddie pool, a pool deck with seating area, an outdoor deck and balconies, a kid’s club, spa with treatment rooms, fitness center with yoga area, and male and female changing rooms with wet and dry sauna.
The hotel will also feature a ballroom that can accommodate up to 220 people, function rooms that can host up to 80 individuals, and meeting rooms that can have up to 66 people.
There will also be a business center with four workstations for those who want to squeeze in some work during their stay.
Paragua Sands Hotel will also feature four food and beverage outlets: an all-day dining restaurant with both alfresco and private dining areas, Zabana Bar & Lounge, pool bar and grill with outdoor dining, and a specialty restaurant.
There will also be a gift shop and several retail spaces at the ground floor.
Additionally, suite and VIP guests will get exclusive access to the Executive Lounge which offers beverages and hors d’oeuvres all throughout the day, as well as breakfast in the morning.
To be managed and operated by Megaworld Hotels & Resorts, Paragua Sands Hotel is scheduled for opening in 2029. It will be the 20th hotel property launched by Megaworld Hotels and Resorts, the country’s largest operator of homegrown hotel brands.
