Fairways & Bluewater has embarked on many rehabilitation projects following the Pandemic Alert Level 1 category announced in March 2022. Our biggest entertainment area, the Kudetah District, was recently re-launched. It showcases an exquisitely designed area where one can enjoy good food and drinks while having fun in a lavish pool overlooking the Sibuyan Sea. As the magnificent sunset engulfs the island, the Kudetah District transforms into a vibrant and lively place where we bring the Boracay party and fun vibe inside the exclusive paradise. We have also started to restore our other facilities, beginning with our historic villas whose rustic and vintage ambiance promotes relaxation, reflection, and re-connection with nature.”
Mr. Chan said his team is committed to be relentless in ensuring that Fairways & Bluewater is consistent in providing the highest level of customer satisfaction as it possibly can saying, “Seeing the look of complete joy on a guest’s face is one of the most beautiful addictions for a hotelier. Travelers work hard so they can have a memorable vacation. That is why we in Fairways & Bluewater work hard to serve them only happy memories of their wonderful vacation. That is our idea of hospitality. That is the Fairways & Bluewater way.”
