Megaworld Corp. on Thursday said it is building its second hotel development inside its 462-hectare Paragua Coastown ecotourism township in San Vicente, Palawan.
The 10-story Paragua Sands Hotel will have 313 guest rooms and suites in varied layouts, ideal for tourists and travelers visiting the town of San Vicente.
To be managed and operated by Megaworld Hotels and Resorts, Paragua Sands Hotel is scheduled for opening in 2029. It will be the 20th hotel property launched by Megaworld.
Room types and sizes range from twin suite of up to 32 square meters, queen suite of up to 32.5 square meters, junior suite of up to 61 square meters, executive suite of up to 60.5 square meters and presidential suite of 140 square meters.
There will also be dedicated specially-abled suites of 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,” Cleofe Albiso, managing director, Megaworld Hotels and Resorts, said.
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.
