MANILA, Philippines – Yes, it is possible to mix business with pleasure — and we don’t mean the sleazy kind.
We mean the Punta de Fabian kind: the kind of place where corporate-minded groups can do business together, make plans, and build camaraderie. Surely you have come across companies that go on teambuilding/corporate planning meetings to do exactly these things. And for those who do know how these things go, these should not only be conducive to business, but also be enjoyable and memorable. Punta de Fabian offers all these in a quaint setting, right in Baras, Rizal. This premier resort is easily accessible from the city, so even the group does not have to contend with long hours of travel.
Convenience is something that Punta de Fabian takes seriously. “What we have done is an extensive setup for meetings and seminars,” says Punta de Fabian sales and marketing manager John Pamintuan. “We have function rooms that are comfortable and well-equipped with top-of-the-line audio-visual equipment.”
He adds that the rooms have large all-glass windows that provide enchanting views and abundant natural light, so participants will not feel cramped.
“Punta de Fabian also has well-trained facilitators available, should groups require additional assistance for the proceedings. These facilitators are ready to help them out in ensuring that their stay here will be pleasant and glitch-free,” he says.
The new 1,000-square-meter maze is already creating a buzz, with its exciting and challenging courses that promote teambuilding and solidarity among the participants.
Of course, that’s just a starter. Whether guests who come to Punta de Fabian are in it for business or leisure, they can look forward to a host of fun amenities.
Indeed, fun begins at the basketball, volleyball, and badminton courts. Children have the white-sand playground for their outdoor games. Sporty types can do billiards, table tennis, darts, PS2, and game boards.
Guests can likewise have their fun in the sun in the 160-sqm, lagoon-shaped infinity pool. Even the kids have their own pool area nearby.
The resort houses a café and restaurant, poolside and scenic deck-bar, videoke bar, and a garden reception area.
And when it is time to call it a day, they can retreat to one of the 27 lakefront rooms, equipped with a TV, deluxe bathroom, vanity area with toiletries made by Bath Origins, terraces, and private sitting rooms.
“Punta de Fabian is located in the heart of Rizal’s cultural and natural center. Our guests can go to nearby Angono, Binangonan, Tanay, and Morong for their art appreciation fix,” Pamintuan says.
“If nature is their trip, they can explore some of Rizal’s natural attractions such as Batlag Falls, Daranak Falls, Talim Island, and Calinawan Cave. You can say that Punta de Fabian has everything in the mix!” he adds.
With all these offerings, Punta de Fabian is making its mark as a true destination for business and recreation.
