One of the 14 rooms where guests can stay and relax at Chateau by the Sea.
“These past few months have allowed us to recalibrate and refresh all our services to suit the needs of our clients, all while paying respect to their health and safety,” said Gerra Lizares, the resort’s operations manager.
From being an avenue for celebrations, one can now actually do more and experience Chateau by The Sea unlike any other.
“The place was already given, and the pandemic has presented an opportunity for us to grow as a brand and expand our service thanks to the help of the owner Nonie Uy, and the entire management,” said Lizares.
With the revamp, guests can now stay in their 14 spacious rooms, have breakfast, lunch, or dinner at their in house restaurant, or have coffee at the Waves Restaurant while gazing over the turquoise waters of the Mactan Channel.
Chateau by the Sea offers everyday Filipino food coupled with a select lineup of delectable international dishes provides more options for its discriminating in-house guests.
