Foreign and local tourists can now look forward to the rise of the first-ever 5 star hotel in Panglao, the JW Marriott Panglao Island Resort and Spa, following the recent signing of a memorandum between Cebu-based premier development company AppleOne Group Inc. and JW Marriott in Singapore. AppleOne president and chief executive officer Ray Manigsaca, together with his wife and AppleOne co-founder and Chairman Venus Manigsaca, personally inked the deal with JW Marriott.
“We want to entice them more by bringing the luxury experience to the regions starting with Bohol which we believe they will enjoy even more because of the experiences and tourist destinations,” said Manigsaca.
JW Marriott is part of Marriott International’s luxury portfolio and consists of award-winning properties and resort locations around the world.
The upcoming luxury property development in Panglao will be added to its roster of over 100 luxury hotels in more than 35 countries.
This is AppleOne’s third partnership deal with Marriott International, following the Sheraton Cebu Mactan Resort and the Fairfield by Marriott Cebu Mactan that is located within the premises of Mahi Center. At the signing (from left to right) were: Continent head, Global Design and vice president, Interior Design of Marriott International Karen Kim; vice president for Hotel Development Asia Pacific, Marriott International Steve Baek; AppleOne president and chief executive officer Ray Manigsaca; AppleOne co-founder and chairman Venus Manigsaca.
