Soon, Island Cove’s delectable cuisine will be offered at packages starting at P370.00 exclusive of tax. Functions with a minimum of 100 persons and a maximum of 500 persons may avail of Island Cove’s catering service any day of the week.

Previously, Island Cove only catered to banquets and weddings held inside the Resort.   But for the clamor and demand of its clients for a catering service, the decision arose for Island Cove to expand its business. Island Cove Managing Director Gilbert Remulla said, “We are excited to embark in this new facet of our business wherein we will be able to bring Island Cove’s mouth-watering cuisine and events management to outside the Resort.” He continued, “Backed with eleven years of experience in handling corporate and banquet functions, concerts and events, we are very confident that this new venture will be a success.”

Not new in the business of servicing banquets and events, Island Cove has catered to more than 5,000 persons at one time without sacrificing the quality of the food or its service.

Island Cove Director of Sales and Marketing Jona Agrazada said, “ The edge that we have in the business of social and corporate functions is our ability to be flexible in terms of party themes and food choices.” She continued, “ We offer the best packages at the best rates. To say the least, our service is superb.”

Island Cove is known to be the pioneer in the tourism industry with respect to the introduction of a multitude of attractions that lure both local and foreign visitors. The existing facilities available to its guests are the Hotel, the Oceania Water Park, the Animal Island, the Island Songs KTV, the paintball arena and airsoft game site, the Fishing Village, the petting zoo, and the Island Spa. Island Cove’s other well-loved trademarks include the outdoor giant chess set, the playground, and Concert Grounds just to name a few.

Island Cove Hotel and Leisure Park is ISO 9001:2000 certified and accredited by the Department of Tourism an “AAA” resort. Located in the historic town of Kawit, Cavite, this Mediterranean-inspired 36-hectare island is only 45 minutes away from Manila.

(Cavite, Philipines- August 17, 2oo9) Island Cove Hotel and Leisure Park recently launched the newest addition to its team building facilities, a challenge course. The challenge course, located at Island Cove’s Adventure Zone, is an outdoor activity that consists of high and low elements.

The low elements are group-oriented challenges that are situated on or near ground level. Special safety systems, other than spotting by group members, is required. High elements are team-based activity challenges set thirty feet above the ground. Safety equipment similar to the ones used by rock climbing and wall climbing outfits is essential.

Island Cove’s challenge course is capable of handling low element games like mowhawk walk, trust fall, low tension traverse, and team wall. Meanwhile, catwalk, high tension traverse, and zip line are some of the high element games that may be conducted.

Island Cove Managing Director Gilbert Remulla said, “The challenge course at Island Cove is the perfect team building or family bonding activity. The experience provides members an opportunity to get to know one another in a deeper way than any other activity. Succeeding on the ropes requires risk-taking, quick decisions, conflict management, and many other aspects of everyday business and family life.”

According to Remulla, the decision to open the challenge course, in addition to the numerous sports and recreation facilities that were launched at the resort last year, is part of the management’s plan to continuously provide its guests with new and exciting facilities. Moreover, Remulla said, “We are always on the lookout for the newest trend in the industry. We have made a considerable amount of investment to continuously improve our offerings and make sure our resort stays ahead of the game in terms of guest facilities and amenities.”

He continued, “ We believe that the addition of the challenge course will strengthen Island Cove’s reputation as an adventure destination and will put the resort on the map for must-see and must-try extreme sports venues in the Philippines.”

Last year, Island Cove opened a paintball field, an airsoft game site and a bike trail as part of its thrust to become the premier business and leisure destination where adventure never stops. Improvements were also undertaken to its numerous sports and recreation facilities including the tennis courts, basketball court, gym, swimming pools with giant slides, jogging lane, and billiards hall.

Island Cove, in hotel and resort business since 1998, has catered primarily to the family, frequent individual travelers (FITs) and corporate markets. In 2006, Island Cove tapped the market for corporate “family days” and is now aggressively penetrating the market for corporate seminars, events and exhibits.
