Abacá Boutique Resort + Restaurant Garners Multiple Trip Advisor Travelers’ Choice Awards

CEBU, Philippines - This year, internationally-renowned Abacá Boutique Resort + Restaurant adds three more awards to its already full shelf, earning top honors on Trip Advisor’s Travelers’ Choice Awards 2013. The most luxurious and exclusive resort on Mactan Island was voted the winner, ranking number 1 of Top 20 Small Hotels in the Philippines. As well, Trip Advisor reviewers voted it number 3 of Top 25 Luxury Hotels in the Philippines and number 5 of Top 25 Hotels for Service in the Philippines. With these accolades, Cebu’s own Abacá Boutique Resort + Spa has outranked local favorites and national heavyweights.

A quick scan of the reviews makes it easy to see why Abacá Boutique Resort + Restaurant consistently finds itself at the top. With its blissful oceanfront spa, first-rate restaurant, 6 private suites, 3 sprawling villas, and an infinity pool that seamlessly transitions to the ocean, Abacá Boutique Resort does not only have happy customers, it has raving fans. And these fans account for Abacá’s first-place ranking as the Top Small Hotel in the country.

Abacá may be small in size, but it doesn’t scrimp on providing its guests with the luxurious experience they’ve come to the resort for. For New Year’s Eve, “the hotel hired a boat that took guests out to sea to watch the fireworks and drink champagne from various locations along the coast “– shares one reviewer from Phoenix, Arizona. Thus, Abacá’sthird-place ranking among the Top Luxury Hotels in the Philippines shouldn’t come as a surprise.

What makes the Trip Advisor reviews special is that they are written not by writers who have to, but by the average traveler who wants to. And if there is one thing that most everyone is in the highest of praises for, it’s the service for which Abacá Boutique Resort placed 5th among all other hotels in the archipelago. One guest from Melbourne goes so far as to describe it as having “the best service in Asia.” When even the most discriminating of travelers and the toughest of critics at Trip Advisor are moved to hyperbole, you know you’re doing something right.
