Villa Lourdes Boracay, “ An Affordable yet A Home to Stay”

 
Before ,I thought that Boracay is a place where prices of room rentals and many other hotel accommodations  are just for those who have a lot of money. Maybe because before, there are only limited  and few establishments that caters on guest that visits the place.
But this connotation that I have has been removed just this 1st week of December , 2014 when we together with my friends  decided to go to Boracay  because of the free ticket that we got from 2 Go and was given freely by a Blogger friend.

Our first day was quite impressive I guess because we have our stay at a Hotel with breakfast, lunch  and dinner.  We have all the time in the world to enjoy and do whatever we need to do that very day .Even the price of the  food was almost just the same as you were in Manila , In fact, fruit juices and other seasoned fruits are more affordable and more fresh .

But then  came the second day , Villa Lourdes was our destination and as we come to the place though it was just one of the affordable rooms the place was so cool and its almost the same as the 3 Star Hotels in the Metro, 

We have a double mattress room , and the bed was so soft , sheets was so neat and invitingly prepare you to a good night sleep after a long day of beach activities and some parties that was being held.
The place is so conducive to be into , its almost a few meters away from the marketplace and the beach itself. Backpackers should consider this place as a refuge and a very practical place to live by.

Hotel Sogo Caters To All

It Started with a vision of having a lodging here in the Metro that will cater to Filipino lifestyle and showing of maintaining good service and quality of cleanliness in every rooms and facilities as well. They adopted Japanese kind of service and somehow become one of the models and standards of the lodging industry that makes them aware of  one of the most very important ingredient the business should have. Within a limited span of time as customers keep on patronizing Sogo Hotel makes them known and grew on multiple places along the Metro and even on provinces here in the Philippines.
In 1992, two individuals decided to come together and make use of their perspective expertise to satisfy the public's need for better and more convenient low-cost lodging facilities. One was a Hotel Professional with over 20 years experience in a leading motel chain while the other was a Commercial Developer and "AAA" licensed Contractor.
From the start, the partners agreed to adopt a Japanese theme to connote Cleanliness, Innovation, Efficiency, Courtesy, Discipline and Teamwork - attributes that would describe the Hotel and the organization they envisioned. Consequently, the name "SOGO" which means Harmony, Unity and Cooperation was chosen.

Sogo is a Japanese word that means unity and teamwork, brotherhood, cooperation and harmony. Also the most appropriate description for the Company’s burning spirit. From its humble beginnings, the hotel was envisioned to be a combination of every single perception about “being Japanese” combined with the Filipino’s innate sense of hospitality.
The personality of their new look speak highly of them in terms of symbolic description of the new Hotel Sogo Lady logo – the Sogo Lady gesture of the Sogo fan covering the mouth symbolizes courtesy and service without question; the intertwined or interlacing letters of the word Sogo symbolizes unity and teamwork; the sticks of the fan symbolizes the people of Hotel Sogo and the paper that binds the fan together symbolizes the union in a common vision of the Sogo family to dominate the walk-up hotel industry.
Today, it is one of the  most popular lodging chain in the Philippines with hotels found along several major thoroughfares and transport hubs around the country. On the way to, or right at your destination, there is bound to be a Hotel Sogo that offers you comfort, cleanliness, privacy, parking and security at affordable room rates!
