Inaugurated by no less than President Ferdinand R. Marcos, the 19-story, two-tower Grand Westside Hotel features 1,530 rooms within the rising ‘Broadway of Asia.’

 

Property giant Megaworld, the country’s largest hotel developer with over 7,000 hotel rooms in its portfolio, has formally opened the Philippines’ biggest hotel development to date: the 1,530-room Grand Westside Hotel located within Megaworld’s 31-hectare Westside City township at the bustling Entertainment City in Parañaque City.

His Excellency Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr., President of the Republic of the Philippines, inaugurated the biggest hotel in the Philippines with 1,530 rooms – Grand Westside Hotel. In photo: HE Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr., House Speaker Martin Romualdez, Christina Garcia-Frasco, Secretary – Department of Tourism, Kevin L.

“Grand Westside Hotel is the latest addition to Megaworld’s Westside City township, which continues to take shape today as the ‘Broadway of Asia.” The hotel offers guests a wide variety of room selections, each one designed for the varied preferences of guests, whether they are traveling for business or for leisure. Even more exciting is the fact that the hotel sits along Manila Bay, which allows guests to marvel and enjoy the captivating sunset from this side of Metro Manila,” says Cleofe Albiso, managing director, Megaworld Hotels & Resorts.

Executive Suite

 

First-class dining options and amenities

The hotel has a variety of different dining outlets, including Café by Westside, an all-day dining restaurant serving Filipino and international cuisines, Zabana Bar on the ground floor, the Plunge Bar at the open deck on the fifth floor. The hotel will also have its own specialty restaurant, LaMeza, which is set to open later this year.

The largest of these theaters will be The Grand Opera House, poised to be the first of its kind in the country, which will have a 2,000-seating capacity.

A milestone development launched on the occasion of Megaworld’s 35th anniversary this June, Grand Westside Hotel provides a big boost to the company’s continuing support for Philippine tourism. In 2019, Megaworld committed to invest around P64 billion to build Westside City within the next 10 years.

Taal Vista Hotel: Delighting you in every possible way

Experience pure joy and satisfaction when you stay at Taal Vista Hotel.

 

Going on a weekend staycation with family is a chance to experience new things, create memories, and strengthen bonds. Our recent staycation at Taal Vista Hotel was exceptional. It was a perfect escape from the stress of everyday life to relax and recharge.

The hotel is known for its breathtaking views, cool mountain air, great food, and impressive amenities. Then and now, Taal Vista remains a national landmark deeply ingrained in the history and heritage of the popular tourist destination, Tagaytay City.

The premier room where we stayed was spacious and squeaky clean. It offers the most spectacular panoramic view of Taal Volcano and Taal Lake amid a verdant landscape.

Welcome cake.

 

Great food, happy mood

Food makes us feel good while feasting on the mouth-watering dishes for lunch and breakfast at Verdana. It offers a Filipino-Continental buffet and a live cultural show by the Bughaw Folkloric Dance Group during the lunch buffet every Saturday and Sunday. It was satisfying for our tummies and eyes!

My favorites from the lunch buffet were maki rolls, ginataang alimasag at gulay, laing rice, rellenong bangus, pancit, fresh salad and fruits, Filipino delicacies, and halo-halo. For breakfast meals, I enjoyed coffee, fresh fruits, fried rice and danggit, chicken tocino, and champorado.

Maki rolls

We also cherished our time at the lobby lounge for snacks. We tried their hot chocolate and Americano coffee paired with delicious cakes and pastries. It helped us unwind and feel relaxed while we listened to piano music in the background. Unfortunately, we didn’t have the chance to experience a glam picnic that day due to the rain.

For our dinner, we relished the sumptuous pasta dishes at Taza restaurant. Taza is the Arabic word for fresh. We ordered pasta dishes such as Duck and Mushroom Lasagna, Fettucine Alfredo, and Pappardelle Primavera, which were rich, flavorful, and gratifying! We were also given a delectable chocolate cake for dessert.

Mouthwatering and gratifying pasta dishes from Taza!

Hospitable staff, going the extra mile

We appreciate the warmth and friendliness of its staff, especially for my hubby with a diet restriction. The chefs made an effort to prepare vegetarian dishes just for him! Special mention to Chef Ralph of Taza and Chef Kim of Veranda!

To digest what we ate, we toured the hotel’s other facilities – the swimming pool, the gym, the spa, Kultura Butik, and The Ridge, and made a side trip to Skyranch. For staying hotel guests would need only to pay 100 per person to pass through the gate from the lake wing to enter the amusement park.

It was a delightful stay for me and my small family – from the accommodation, food, service, and overall experience.

Enjoying our meals together as a family.

For Father’s Day, the hotel has a special promotion, “Feast for the King.” You can choose from BBQ Grill Night at Alta Ridge Bar or lunch buffet at Veranda. For details, call +63 2 7917 8225 or e-mail foodandbeverage@taalvistahotel.com.

 

 Magnificent views, history, and nostalgia

The charm of Taal Vista Hotel lies in its stunning views that continue to capture guests after several decades.

The Ridge is a viewing deck that offers one of the most spectacular views of Taal Volcano and Taal Lake. It also provides a panoramic scenery of Volcano Island, its surrounding Taal Lake, and the Tagaytay Ridge. Also visible are lakeside communities of Batangas Province including Cuenca, Lipa, Mataas na Kahoy, and Tanauan. On a clear day, Balayan Bay is visible on the far right.

 

Posing at The Ridge.

In the 1960s, Taal Vista Lodge became a popular destination among foreign dignitaries. Some of the past distinguished guests were Crown Prince Akihito and his wife Princess Michiko of Japan, former First Lady Imelda Marcos, and five First Ladies of heads of state who attended the Manila Summit Conference, among others. In 2003, Taal Vista Lodge became Taal Vista Hotel.

The property has surmounted unprecedented challenges in the past decades. While reading its history timeline wall indicates that “In the process, it has affirmed its status as an icon in Philippine tourism – a timeless property known not only for offering a majestic view of Taal Volcano but more importantly, for leaving its guests nostalgic with treasured memories of the past.”

The grand dame of the Philippine hospitality industry is #HereForAlways.

Imagine sinking your teeth into the cheesy goodness of a crispy yet moist prosciutto pizza slice that’s baked fresh inside a wood-fired brick oven, prepared by an Italian Chef, no less. As you take the bite, strings of melty cheese are pulled away, and you savor the flavors of Italy bursting on your palate. You look at the view of sparkling blue seas from a comfortable second-floor dining balcony and feel the fine, powdery sand between your toes as you head out. No need to imagine for long, this is a reality at ARIA Cucina Italiana.

 Established in 2003 on world-renowned Boracay island, the 21-year-old beachfront restaurant stands the test of time with its authentic cuisine, owned by entrepreneurs Juan Elizalde and Paolo Occhionero, under the leadership of Italian Executive Chef, Salvatore Vincentis. Vincentis’ delectable and authentic creations continue to wow people from all over the globe. No wonder, his standards in the kitchen are strict, especially when it comes to the freshness and quality of ingredients, as some are even flown in straight from Italy so as not to compromise their delicious Italian fare. ARIA’s curated menu is the most comprehensive one on the island, with dishes catering to various tastes and preferences.

ARIA has been providing the best Italian fare in Boracay for 21 years and counting.

Other than their high-quality ingredients, it’s the wood-fired brick oven that makes their pizzas truly delicious. It packs on the flavor, thanks to the intense heat it generates that cooks the pizza quickly, resulting in a crisp crust while locking in moisture and flavor. The wood imparts a distinctive smoky flavor to the pizza you can’t achieve with other cooking methods. It also tends to keep authenticity alive as they have been used for centuries in Italy and other parts of the world for baking bread and cooking pizza. The tradition and craftsmanship associated with these ovens add an element of authenticity to the pizza-making process, which ARIA guests surely love.

Their extensive selection of 26 pizza varieties inspired by various regions in Italy is sure to impress you. For other menu items, you can also indulge in their Fritto di Calamari con Maionese Elle Erbe and Prosciutto e Mango, both considered some of the best appetizers on the island. As for salads, it’s the Cocomero Salad that people quite regularly enjoy.

For pasta lovers, there are the special black fettuccine pasta dishes with the Fettuccine Nere and Al Nero. The Chicken Parmigiana, baked to perfection in their brick oven, is also a crowd favorite. To try something new, our Gnocchi alla Sorrentina AKA potato dumplings are an underrated delight. To quench your thirst, they also offer Italian cocktails with an extensive list of wines that are sure to complement your mouth-watering dishes. To end your meal on a sweet note, treat yourself to ARIA Tris di Dolci or their perfectly creamy ARIA Gelato with a wide selection of 18 flavors, made fresh daily with imported ingredients. With all gelato flavors crafted daily, it’s undeniably the finest ice cream dessert experience in Boracay.

ARIA Cucina Italiana continues to thrive as a top-of-mind Italian beachfront restaurant, despite all the challenges it faced during Boracay’s closures for the island rehabilitation in 2018, and then followed by the pandemic in 2020. Choosing to stay open to keep staff employed, they continued operations and adapted a digital system for online orders and delivery.

With 21 years of authentic Italian food that never compromises on taste and quality, and best-rated reviews on TripAdvisor and Google, be sure to expect many more to come.
