Centennial Hotel Revisited
The Bernwood Gardens.
My dinner was exceptionally delightful at the Asyana Restaurant, especially that the dinner invite came from the charming Edmund Valencia, general manager of the Centennial Resort Hotel and Convention Center. The restaurant had a surprisingly different ambience with its new look. It's still "resortly", in fact, with its improved interiors, the convenience of service was also addressed.
When asked why the change, Edmund had only one thing to say. "It's what it should be." Being a regular visitor of the resort, I could tell that the new color and design definitely enhanced the beauty of the restaurant and even the lobby adding to the elegance it now exudes.
The Bernwood Gardens bloom all year long.
The Centennial Resort Hotel and Convention Center re-opened its doors to the public on July 20, 2008, a month after the devastation of typhoon Frank. The very short period of restoration, according to Edmund, was mainly inspired by avid clients who persistently expressed their eagerness of booking with them. Just recently, government agencies avalanched them with live-in seminars and conferences and not to mention the enormous list of weddings they had for the past week, perhaps brought about by the superstitious belief of good luck for the month of August this year. The only thing that never changed is its quality of service that exceeds expectations.
I have had the opportunity to peep into a grandiose wedding reception at the captivatingly enchanting Bernwood Gardens which, I was told, was restored back to bloom especially for them. It was almost unreal: the soothing sound of waterfalls dancing against millionaire's vine strewn all over. A stretch of various flowers gave the air a scent of spring, highlighted with soft tone lights completing the romantic spell it cast upon the witnesses of the wedding. How amazingly clever of Edmund to come up with such a feat!
Every celebration is a magical experience.
It certainly has been a good luck for me as I have been pampered like a king in their Mandalay Spa, truly making you whole. This is one of the amenities you should not miss, my dears.
The Centennial Resort Hotel and Convention Center is not only a destination for corporate gatherings and conventions but momentous events as well such as weddings, baptisms and debuts. Soon, it shall become a destination for sports of world class standards as it is currently upgrading their sport facilities and nearing its completion.
There are many things that the Centennial Resort Hotel and Convention Center is famous for and a lot more is being tagged its name, one of them is excellence. Cheers!
