SHADED areas near the beach
HENANN Resort Alona Beach boasts of the longest and widest beachfront along the beach, a one-and-a-half-kilometer tropical paradise famous for its pristine, white sand and overlooking, rocky cliffs. Its room types range from deluxe, premier and suites to family, premier with direct pool access, presidential and pool villas.
According to Chusuey, the architecture and design of their resorts in Boracay served as inspiration for Henann Resort Alona Beach’s overall look and feel. “We also utilized local materials like laminated shells and coconuts to showcase the natural beauty of the Philippines,” he added.
The resort has three massive, pools with sunken bars. Other amenities are open-air venue for weddings, fitness and business centers, and a mini shop. Opening soon is a VIP lounge. Such famous Henann brands as Kai Spa, all-day-buffet Sea Breeze Beach Club and western fine-dining restaurant Christina’s will be operational by third quarter of the year.
Chusuey said: “We build resorts with our clients first in our minds. We make it worth their stay whether they are with us for short- or long-term. We always give our guests the best possible service as the goal is to make them happy from the moment they check in until they leave.”
