MANILA, Philippines — Property giant Megaworld, the country’s largest developer and operator of homegrown Filipino hotel brands, is building its second hotel development inside its 462-hectare Paragua Coastown ecotourism township in San Vicente, Palawan.

The 10-story Paragua Sands Hotel will offer 313 guest rooms and suites in varied layouts, ideal for tourists and travelers visiting the picturesque town of San Vicente. Room types and sizes range from Twin Suite (up to 32 sqm), Queen Suite (up to 32.5 sqm), Junior Suite (up to 61 sqm), Executive Suite (up to 60.5 sqm), and Presidential Suite (140 sqm).

There will also be dedicated Specially-Abled Suites (up to 34 sqm) for guests needing special room arrangements during their stay. These rooms will feature varying views of the nearby mountains and the nearby Pagdanan Bay.

It will sit right beside Savoy Hotel Palawan and Oceanfront Premier Residences, the first hotel and residential condominium developments rising inside the township respectively, and surrounded by lots from the soon-to-rise Mercato Shophouse District nearby.

Paragua Sands Hotel will feature a variety of exciting facilities and amenities located at the central amenity area on the second and third floors. These include its own swimming pool and kiddie pool, a pool deck with seating area, an
