The Lind Boracay makes way to Manila

I looove being a writer! I get to experience the wonders of going to new and exciting places and meet different kinds of people.  It's all good and well, but with a busy schedule it's hard to find enough time to sit back and get a little bit of the good ol' R & R.

It was totally a lucky break when I recently got invited at the Cav Wine Shop-Cafe in BGC for an exclusive preview party of the Lind Boracay, the newest 5-star hotel in Boracay Islands.  The event featured a sneak peak of the hotels' grand ballroom, lifestyle facilities, function rooms, suites and five different kinds of bars and restaurants, exquisite leisure spots and not to mention the delectable range of fine cuisine. They had selected some of their special dishes served at the party too and let me tell you, they were so delicious!

A lot of my favorite people made their appearances at the party as well. Models LA Aguinaldo, Tola Orendain, Miko Raval and Raph Robes, actress Angel Aquino, fashion designer and friend Rajo Laurel, My Home Magazine Editor-in-Chief Nix Alanon, and Preview Editor-in-Chief Isha Andaya-Valles all got to share a sneak peak of The Lind Boracay with me. And of course, I couldn't forget the people I met at the party who were part of The Lind Boracay's success -- Managing Director Daryl Tan, Resident Manager Cecille Teodoro, and Assistant Director of Sales and Marketing Nico Estrella were all so friendly and accommodating.

I had such a great time at the Lind Preview Party. And the best part of this was when I truly got to see and experience The Lind Boracay for myself. Oh! And I almost forgot! I was so jealous of when Miko Raval won a free trip to the Lind Boracay at their raffle draw. Aww.. Miko, you're so lucky! 

I thought I would die of jealousy, but then I got to try The Lind Boracay for myself! Huh! So excited to share that with you in my next post.  

You can find The Lind Boracay in Station 1 of the magnificent island of Boracay.

Came in a bit early, just can't wait to get the party started!

For some reason, this gives me a feeling like I'll be having cocktails by the beach.

Dimming the lights! The Preview Party is about to start.
