The Lesser Known at Widus Hotel


After Jjimjilbangin the night before, I had to wake up at 8 am to be ready for breakfast, leave at 10 am and get back to work at 12 pm.

My favorite, the bread section



We headed back to Widus hotel for our buffet breakfast at Salt Café. It was the first time that I had a buffet breakfast since I ate at The Rise in Marina Bay Sands a year ago. Although not as grand as The Rise, I still had a reminiscing mood at Salt while I got my serving of omelet, bacon, soft bread rolls, cereals and fresh fruits.

Eggs, bacon, pancake and lots of bread on my plate

A bowlful of fiber (muesli). Oats, cereal flakes, mixed nuts and dried fruits



After a satisfying breakfast I had a tour of the hotel’s facilities assisted by one their staff. Widus’ facilities are world class and are better compared with Lohas’. They have a very inviting large swimming pool with bar, an Asian themed spa, gym, a restaurant. All rooms also have private balconies so every guest can enjoy the view from their rooms. All those are just part of Phase One developments at Widus. Their operations manager mentioned that villa rooms are under construction as well as the Widus Convention Center and Function Hall. I caught the Korean family who owns the hotel eating before I leave.

And as I ponder on the things and thoughts playing in my mind while sitting on a bench in front of the pool, I have foreseen that most companies in Clark will be Korean owned. There were Korean schools, restaurants and so many things Korean which were not so prolific in this side of Pampanga before. Thanks to its airport that has direct and regular flights to and from Korea. After the Chinese dominating the field of business, are we going to experience a Korean invasion in the Philippines? Look out.
