The Subic Freeport Zone has long been a center of hospitality in Olongapo City – its landscape is dotted with numerous hotels and accommodations each offering their own flavor of Philippine conviviality and warmth. This competitive space is where Subic Riviera Hotel and Residences decided to enter and with much enthusiasm, presented their brand of exceptional service supported with fiber connectivity that\u2019s second to none.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Subic Riviera Hotel and Residences was established by Mr. Myung Kook Kang in the middle of the global pandemic and opened its doors just in November 2023. As a new business, management had its own share of hesitation and nervousness, especially catering to a post-pandemic market. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe opened in November 2023, and at first, there were not too many customers because they don\u2019t know the place,\u201d said Mr. Kang. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMedyo ninenerbyos after the grand opening kasi inisip namin noon na baka walang pumasok na guest,\u201d affirmed Ivy Grace A. Garcia, General Manager of the hotel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fortunately, the stellar amenities and offerings of the hotel – which includes a sky lounge, the Essa cafe, a restaurant, 150 rooms, function rooms, and two private villas with a private pool – word about the hotel quickly spread around town. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, said Mr. Kang, the hotel is almost always fully booked and attracts foreign travelers as well as local ones. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Touted as a \u2018family-friendly\u2019 hotel, the hotel\u2019s two villas are always in-demand by families wanting to celebrate special occasions with their own private pool and extensive rooms, noted Garcia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Supporting the word-of-mouth campaign in the promotion of the hotel is of course the hotel\u2019s social media, powered by the fiber connection of Converge. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMalaking bagay si Converge because it\u2019s through the internet that we update and promote our Facebook page. Without it, wala kaming communication with our clients,\u201d Garcia added. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Subic Riviera Hotel and Residences continues to reach out to vacationers and travelers through its social media, all while offering 300 mbps speeds to its patrons which can be accessed anywhere in the hotel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This fast and high-speed connectivity will all the more enable the hotel to grow its business as it takes its place as a mainstay in the hospitality scene in Pampanga. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cRight now, wifi is crucial for our communications and we\u2019re happy to have wifi that we can depend on for our operations,\u201d added Mr. Kang.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr. Kang is confident that Subic Riviera Hotel and Residences will become a permanent feature of the hospitality landscape in five year\u2019s time, at which time he will put up another branch of the hotel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAfter five years, I plan to have another hotel branch in Subic,\u201d notes Mr. Kang. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
