Guests
will experience la dolce far viente (the sweet art of idleness) at Casa Ibiza,
a scenic resort filled with a quiet charm. Regal arches, stone details, vibrant
hues, provide the perfect backdrop for relaxation and romance. One can imbibe
the Spanish/Mexican feel of the environment.
Inspired
by Ibiza—an island paradise in the most western part of Balearic Islands,
Mediterranean off the eastern coast of Spain known for its picturesque and
idyllic setting. The name itself gives an image of turquoise waters, warm
breeze, dancing lights, and urban dwellers seeking a haven from the demands of
living in a bustling city.
True to its name, Casa Ibiza was such a breathtaking
sight to behold. My family and I just had some ‘bonding’ a few weeks ago and
since I was not the one who had planned this trip, I was surprised that we need
not have to go out of the Metro since relaxation is just a stone throw away. Conceptualized
to provide an accessible getaway for city dwellers that would like to enjoy
some R and R, hibernate, enjoy one’s privacy away or simply bond with family
and friends. And here’s the best part? One does not need to go out of town to
enjoy all these. Located in the heart of Antipolo City, Casa Ibiza has the
facilities that cater to all kinds of occasion. Be it a wedding reception,
debuts, birthdays, reunions, seminars, corporate team building to simple family
outings—Casa Ibiza has a selection of venues to suit every need.
Upon entering the main gate, one wouldn’t even think
you’re on your way to a resort and events place because it looks like one
enters an exclusive village gate. True enough, it felt like a village inside
with guests billeted into a home-like atmosphere, not a typical hotel. Yes, it
had the privacy and comfort of one’s home. Each Mexican-inspired villas had a parking
garage of its own, it has a living room, dining room, 3 bedrooms, sitting area,
working area, balcony and plasma TV.Villas come in two sizes: grand and deluxe.
Both are spacious enough and are fully furnished.
Free Wifi is also available at the pool area (although
I’m quite disappointed of their really slow wifi connectivity + the hassle of
having to memorize their very long password—one sentence!)
They have Cabanas for those who prefer lounging by the
pool. One can have a beach-like dining experience here. There are two pools;
one for the kids at 2ft. and the other had 4 and 5 ft. The pool Bar offers a
selection of drinks along with Filipino Mexican foods. During the night, one
can have a glimpse of typical Ibiza party with the bright lights, booze and
endless chats with friends.
The Oasis is a function room that holds indoor meetings
or closed door seminars. Here, one can have a view of the lush premises outside
through the glass panels while having that privacy.
The lush foliage called Grass garden is a great venue
to host outdoor events. You can run, jump, play, or simply shout to your
heart’s delight. There’s also a man-made falls called Cascada. The sight and
sound of the nature is enough to calm your senses. One dreams of a perfect
wedding when one sees the Gazebo. It could be a venue to exchange “I Do’s”, for
entertainment or any picture-perfect moment.
For team building, the Desierta has obstacle course for
both fitness and camaraderie. Compete, play and have fun at the boot camp for
an unforgettable stay at Casa Ibiza.
Kids will also be happy to know that there’s a place
for them too at Casa Ibiza. The Children’s Playground provides plastic
Faber-designed play for little ones.
Casa Ibiza is located at Sapang Buho Road, Baranggay
