MANILA – Island Cove, a 36-hectare resort in Kawit, Cavite, is set to close after a 20-year-run.

Many were surprised as Island Cove announced via Facebook on Friday that it will cease operations on July 28 this year.

“After 20 years of providing world-class leisure, recreation, and celebrations, Island Cove Hotel and Leisure Park will close its doors and cease operations on July 28, 2018,” Island Cove said.

“It has been a pleasure serving our guests and clients as well as working with our partners over the past 2 decades. To have served beyond the ordinary with the warmth of Filipino hospitality has been our joy and honor,” it added.

No other details were given.

Days before the announcement, Island Cove launched a “last chance room sale,” offering a 40% discount on all room categories for stays from June 27 to July 27.

State-run Philippine News Agency previously reported that Island Cove will close “in line with the purchase conditions agreed upon with the still unnamed new business owners.”
