  • Mga Kilalang 5 Star Hotel Sa Pilipinas
    Mga kilalang 5 star hotel sa Pilipinas Discovery Shores Boracay Island Boracay Island , Philippines The palm-studded island of Boracay – with its white, talcum-fine beach, balmy weather, and warm, crystalline waters – is like a hypnotic magnet. In this tiny, butterfly-shaped island at the northwestern tip of Panay in Western Visayas, days can be spent simply lazing on the beach while nights are for indulging in the tropical party lifestyle. The best part of the island is the four-kilometer White Beach hailed as the “finest beach in the world.” The surrounding water is shallow and the sand is finer and brighter than most beaches in the archipelago. White Beach is so, soooo fine, it feels like treading on miles of baby powder! These days, one of the greatest luxuries in life is a “staycation” – to simply have the time for yourself to relax, read that book, catch-up on your stack of magazines, sit and chat about everything and nothing, take a dip in the pool and let the hours pass, and to really stop and smell the roses, or the ocean breeze, or perhaps admire a sunrise or a sunset with your beloved! Eighty eight luxurious and spacious accommodation that include Junior Suites, One Bedroom Suites, One Bedroom Suite Premiere, Two Bedroom Suites and Two Bedroom Suite Premiere, with an area of 40 square meter to 120 square meter. The balcony /terrace has an area of six to 12 square meter. Some rooms have a Jacuzzi; all rooms are generous in size and most have a view of the beach or of the waterfalls and swimming pool; rooms on the hill (upper cluster) have enviable views of the beach and the property.

    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by International Institute for Science, Technology and Education (IISTE): E-Journals European Journal of Business and Management www.iiste.org ISSN 2222-1905 (Paper) ISSN 2222-2839 (Online) Vol.9, No.27, 2017 The Operational Efficiency and Sustainability of Selected De Luxe Class Hotels in Metro Manila Maria Margarita P. Cruz The Graduate School, University of Santo Tomas, Espa ňa Blvd., Manila 108, Philippines E-mail: [email protected] Abstract For a hotel to survive, it must consistently perform at its most fluid efficiency. Inefficient performance means wastes in the use of hotel inputs that is detrimental in maintaining low operating expenses to sustain survival in the hotel industry. This paper aims to determine the sources of efficiency and sustainability performance of 10 De Luxe Class Hotels in Metro Manila, Philippines accredited by the Department of Tourism from 2005- 2014. The efficiency and productivity of the sample were assessed using slack-based and Malmquist productivity index models of the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). The results indicated that an average deluxe hotel was productive and cost efficient. However, technology was obsolete and could cause the downtrend in revenue or tourist visit. It also hinted decreasing returns to scale. Slacks revealed that an average deluxe hotel should reduce its inputs (operating expenses, capital, employees and rooms) wastages to catch up with Pan Pacific Hotel Manila. Regression analysis proved that the De Luxe class hotels are operating at decreasing return to scale. It also reveals that older hotels were not efficient than younger (newly established) hotels.
