Man-made island resort now a Sarangani landmark

Wednesday, 12 November 2008, 14:15 | Category : Accommodation, Landmarks, Philippines

A former family resort here has grown into a world-class facility and a landmark in Sarangani’s tourism landscape.

Started as a rest house of the family of businessman Marfenio Tan about 10 years ago, Isla Parilla is now an “AA” class resort.

A resort within a man-made island, Isla Parilla has 24-hour room service, profuse amenities, refreshing and solemn ambiance, and personalized services.

“Here you can find true solemnity of a wedding vow and other private meetings while enjoying fresh air, unique dishes of fresh seafood, or just go fishing at the lake,” manager Wanchin Tan-Delfino said.

Apparently, these gave the resort a double “A” ranking.

A waiter and bartending seminar was held here last week for Isla Parilla, Sarangani Highlands and other hotel personnel in General Santos City by the Department of Tourism Region XII and the Sarangani Tourism Industry Association, Incorporated.

“We are ready for our guests that will come as the MunaTo provincial festival is nearing,” Delfino said.

Isla Parilla is two kilometers away from the Provincial Capitol where the November 27 to 29 MunaTo Festival will be held.

The 6th MunaTo Festival and 16th Foundation Anniversary celebrate Sarangani’s pride in colorful arts and investment potentials with its theme “Ang Galing Mo, Sarangan”. (PNA)
