My Archery Journey: Island's Leisure Boutique Hotel, My Home for CVIRAA 2012

Welcome to Island's Leisure Boutique Hotel & Wellness Spa

Bethel Guest Hostel situated along the Boulevard has always been mom and dad's favourite place to stay everytime they are in Dumaguete City. So when we went to Dumaguete last August 2012 for the Silliman University Founder's Day Archery Invitational Tournament, we planned to stay at Bethel.

Since it was the first tourney that I was joining, the whole family, except for dad, was in full force to support and cheer for me. We wanted to reserve the family room so all of us can fit in. But it was fully booked because of the Founder's Day Celebration.

Mom started to look for Agoda recommended hotels in Dumaguete so we would have a place to lay our heads. She found Island's Leisure Boutique Hotel and immediately called dad to make the booking as there was only one available room available. It was booked through Agoda and true to it's name, staying at the hotel was a pleasure.

The hotel is located at Hibbard Avenue, Bantayan, Dumaguete. It is conveniently located near the city and nature is just around the corner. It is a family-run business and the care they give you is one that is personal. The staff are caring and attentive to your needs and requests. We ate some few times at their resto and their cuisine are great too.

Another nice thing about this hotel is its interior decorations. It looks like a galleria of all sorts of artworks. You can see that the interiors are a well-blended combination of Dumaguete's traditional laid back life and culture and the rustic modernities of technology. A guest need not sneak into his luggage a small thing that attracts his fancy because if there is anything you would want from the hotel's decorations, you can have it for a reasonable price... There are posters, paintings, photoframes, and a lot more.

We had a nice experience staying at this hotel last August so mom decided that we stay here for the duration of the CVIRAA 2012. It was difficult for me to stay with the Cebu City contingent in Valencia, some 10 kms away from the city because I came 4 days later than the rest of the Cebu City Athletic contingent.

What's nice with my second visit to this hotel is that I saw the framed photos of Kuya Kevin at the Hotel. By the way my Kuya Kevin is a freelance photographer who can snap the shoots for your prenup, portrait, or any other events. You can contact him at kevin.jethro.abad@gmail.com or you can call him at Sun +63-922-843-7490. His webpage can be found at http://www.kevinjethro.com/.
