Commenced soft operation on the month in October 2020, when the heights of varying community quarantines did not stop the Tenorio Family in building a safe haven for relaxation in the quiet town of General Nakar. Currently, it is one of the premium beach resort of choice in town featuring modern aesthetics, spacious accommodations and trained team members giving a different level of staycation experience.
The Tropikana Beach Resort has currently running 9 rooms broken down to three family rooms and 6 studio units. They have a bonus penthouse deck that has its own spacious balcony and bar. An in-house restaurant is also available, with an amazing and skilled Culinary team that serves outright delectable and flavor packed dishes.
ROOMS AND AMENITIES
The Family Room can comfortably fit 6 pax. The room amenities feature 2 twin beds and bunk bed. It also features huge flat screen TV, mini refrigerator and Split type air-conditioning unit. It has its own private toilet and bath as well. This is the same room provided for our first official night at General Nakar municipality. We were a group of 4 pax at the time of check in and truly enjoyed the spacious interiors of the family room. Going on a 8-day trip, we are definitely bringing along huge or number of luggages that would certainly occupy space. There are enough shelves to place our stuffs conveniently. They also have a large cabinet where you can effectively organize your OOTDs. The Private Toilet and Bath, though, has translucent glass wall that do not extend up to the ceiling. Your silhouette while doing the important thingy on the “throne” is somehow obvious, hence, having trusted room mates is the key – if you know what I mean. The room also has a large and wide mirror which makes sharing convenient, as well. It has also large ceiling fan and more lights. The large flat television is a plus, though, we have no opportunity to watch since we maximized enjoying the beach resort’s facilities and amenities.
The Studio Rooms feature a twin size bed, with own personal mini refrigerator, private toilet and bath. It is cooled also by a split type air-conditioning unit. It has more room for extra mattress that can comfortably fit up to maximum of 4 persons. The Toilet and Bath is enclosed and certainly provides privacy we all needed and wanted. It also has its own flat and large flat smart Television for your entertainment needs.
The Beach View Room, which is best described as their own version penthouse, that can comfortably fit 6 pax. It is located at the 3rd level and enjoys panoramic views of the beach and the verdant surroundings. It features its own L-shaped balcony with the panoramic view of the beach and the surrounding serene community. It has its own bar located right below the large penthouse where you can actually hold private cocktails or function. The Penthouse room is actually at the Fourth level of the resort building, hence, expect more stair actions.
Apart from curated air-conditioned rooms, Tropikana Beach Resort offers open-air spacious native huts for your day tour activities at the property. The Native Huts section is located nearer to the beach access gate and open lawn area. They have Toilet and Bath Common area dedicated for guests at the Native Huts. Additionally, these huts are right beside their open air lawn where you can hold activities for your group.
This beach resort also features its own private 9 feet deep Swimming Pool partnered with a pool bar for your beverage requirements. Beside the pool is an open space hall for your dining needs. Apart from that, you can hold intimate events like family gatherings, personal occasions or mini corporate events. Their Events Hall has different lighting fixtures that can augment your event’s needs.
RESORT CAPACITY
Currently able to hold comfortably maximum 45 guests at any day, Tropikana Beach Resort is one of your best choice of accommodation and billeting while in General Nakar. With its strategic location surrounded by quiet countryside and long stretch of beach which is only a few strides away.
In the future and if budget permits, they are visioning to install a zip line ride from their tower leading to the beach, which I think is a great idea especially for adventure junkies.
HOSPITALITY WITHIN REASON
Welcomed by the proprietress, Ms. Josephine Tenorio, from a 5 hour bus commute ordeal, I remember their smiles eagerly waiting at their reception hall. Ms. Rona, at the helm of Tropikana team, donned in their identifiable high contrast tropical shirt, she ushered us to our assigned rooms at the second level of the resort. The stress from the downpour at the moment of our checking in is compensated by their clear expression of warm hospitality and utmost attention.
Little that we know, a generous seafood dinner buffet is awaiting us at their Events Hall. After a quick refreshing, we hurried downstairs to have our first sumptuous “Nakarin” dinner featuring the best dishes of Tropikana Beach Resort. The sumptuous seafood banquet awaiting us were Spicy Buttered Garlic Shrimp, Creamy Seafood Pasta and Chicken Inasal. The Garlicky shrimps were indeed large, plump and packed in flavor – loved the sauce topping and the savory and sweet flavors created a blast of flavors on our palate. The Creamy Seafood Pasta came with al dente penne pasta and legit creamy sauce, again, topped with hefty portions of shelled shrimps and their choice of toppings. The Chicken Inasal was grilled to perfection. The meat was tender and moist, but what stood out is the almost perfect charring of the skin that expressed the natural caramelization. We capped our lovely and nice dinner with two bottles of Merlot courtesy of Tropikana Beach Resort.
Our heartlflet thanks to the team of Tropikana Beach Resort, our stay in their property is short-lived, however, gave a considerable dent to the total General Nakar hospitality and experience.
