Business travelers and corporate groups are also well catered for, with complimentary internet throughout the hotel, including in the three meeting rooms and 280m? ballroom.
“We are delighted to welcome BEST WESTERN Cebu Sand Bar Resort to our growing family in the Philippines,” said Glenn de Souza, Best Western’s Vice President of International Operations — Asia & the Middle East. “Since we debuted in Cebu late last year with the BEST WESTERN PLUS Lex Cebu Hotel, we have experienced strong demand, both from within the Philippines and elsewhere. With a strong local economy and stunning natural attractions, the future looks incredibly bright for Cebu, Mactan Island and Best Western,” Mr. de Souza added.
BEST WESTERN Cebu Sand Bar Resort will become the seventh Best Western hotel in the Philippines, and boosts its nationwide inventory to more than 640 rooms. The company also operates midscale BEST WESTERN hotels in Manila, Angeles City and Borocay, and upscale BEST WESTERN PLUS hotels in Makati City and Cebu.
