A Glimpse at Bluewater Panglao's Rooms and Villas
Last year, I was so fortunate to
be one of the first bloggers to have a glimpse of the then newly-opened
Bluewater Panglao. During the soft launch, I was toured around by the resort’s
general manager. Only the premiere deluxe rooms at the first floor were open
for occupancy that time. The villas aren’t finish yet. And so this year, on my
second visit at Bluewater Panglao, let me share with you how the rooms and
villas look like now.
We got the 68 sqm premiere deluxe
room on the first floor beside the lagoon-shaped swimming pool. Bluewater
Panglao’s signature look includes two queen-sized cantilevered beds accented
with a nicely-woven red bed runner.
The premiere deluxe room has a private
veranda overlooking the pool. It is a perfect spot for having coffee breaks or
even en suite breakfast.
All the rooms in Bluewater
Panglao have a bathtub in a warmly-lit spacious bathroom. The non-skid flooring
in the entire room makes it very child-friendly. There is also a rainshower that
drizzles on stone flooring for a closer-to-nature look. Think about taking a
bath in a waterfall.
Clean towels and premiere bath
amenities are all provided in the rooms. For added security, a safety deposit
box big enough to fit a laptop and your other gadgets is tucked in a wooden
closet.
For the coffee addicts like me,
no need to worry as the room has its own coffee-making facility. The mini bar
is also full of sodas, juices, bottled water and a few liquor available at
friendly hotel rates.
I also went around checking out
the villas. I remember last year, during my visit, that the GM told me that
they were planning to put a lagoon to surround the villas. When I checked out
the villas this time, the lagoon isn’t there yet but instead, verdant lawns
surround the well-maintained villas.
The family villa is the most
spacious (and dearest) of all the types of accommodation at Bluewater Panglao.
It has two bedrooms with a private dipping pool, perfect for a family who wants
to be away from the crowd and just enjoy the island life.
For couples, the honeymoon villa is
the perfect match. Bluewater Panglao has three honeymoon villas: Pamilacan,
Balicasag and Cabilao, all named after the famous islands surrounding Panglao.
It has its own dipping pool, a bathtub with an LCD television, a mini bar and
guess what? An Illy Espresso Machine. How cool is that? If you are a follower
of the local travel show, Pinoy Explorer, you will remember that once, the
charming host Aga Muhlach had spent a night in this villa.
The villas are nearer the resort’s
restaurant – Aplaya. You can also request for a golf cart to tour you around
the resort in case you are too tired to walk. But for me, I enjoyed walking around
Bluewater Panglao while feasting on lush, verdant landscape – a form of
exercise after munching too much Ube
Kinampay.
