00:00Move and Pick Resort & Spa Boracay is a property that opened officially in 2016, December 2016.
00:17So it's about eight years old now. It's a very lush property.
00:21We have a beautiful garden at the center and we have a total of 14 buildings.
00:25And we have a beautiful front beach which is located in Punta Bunga Cove.
00:30The motto of Move and Pick brand is We Make Moments.
00:33And we have also some elements in our brand, especially the Chocolate Hour,
00:38which is famous in all the Move and Pick across the world.
00:41We also have the Healthy Charts at breakfast, that is available at breakfast.
00:46We also have the Little Birds Club, where you can see, the kids can see Pico, our mascot over there.
00:54And they can have fun with him.
00:56Pico is part of the fun element that we want to see in the property.
00:59Move and Pick is not a corporate brand.
01:02It's a brand for families, for them to enjoy and have a lot of fun basically.
01:06So that's the primary objective of our team here and the brand itself.
01:11We want people to enjoy the property and make moments.
01:16Move and Pick Resort & Spa Boracay is also the first property to be certified Green Globe in Boracay.
01:22And in the Philippines, actually, among the Acor properties.
01:26We had to follow a certain number of standards, 44 mandated points,
01:31which are related to sustainability and protection of the environment.
01:35As you can see in the property, we are very focused in that goal.
01:40There is no more cotton bud, plastic, no more straw, plastic straws.
01:46There are no more plastic cups, no more plastic bottles.
01:50All those elements have been removed up to our green amenities in our rooms.
01:55We have a beautiful beachfront.
01:56We have an amazing Sol Marina Beach Club bar at the front, where we can witness amazing sunset on a daily basis.
02:04So we wanted to not only have the drink element, but we also wanted to have a food element.
02:10So that's the time we created Calier Sol.
02:13So it's a street food concept, right, which initially we wanted a little bit of European,
02:19but we turned it into something more local so people can enjoy, you know, skewers,
02:25as well as any specialty from the Philippines, but on a four-star premium level.
02:31Move and Peak Resort and Spal Boracay has amazing facilities.
02:36It's a 3.5 hectares property, right, starting with the beachfront,
02:41which is probably the most amazing part of this property.
02:44And, of course, our multi-level pool, which is 3,300 square meters,
02:50which makes it the biggest pool in the entire Boracay to date.
02:55Aside from the swimming pool, we have seven outlets.
02:59We have the Market Restaurant, we have Sol Marina Beach Club.
03:03We also have an Italian restaurant, Brezza.
03:05We, of course, provide in-room dining for all our guests.
03:10And for people who are coming early or departing early, we have the café close to the lobby,
03:15which provide basically pastries, viennoiseries, croissants and sandwiches, you know, for take-out.
03:22The hotel and the resort count as well meeting facilities.
03:26And we have a gym, also amenities like Saga & Spa, where our guests can enjoy massage and sauna.
03:34At the same time, we also provide salon services, basically, like manicure, pedicure and others.
03:42The resort also count as a retail shop where people can buy basic amenities and supplies for their convenience.
03:51So, Move and Pick Resort and Spa Boracay has a total of 312 well-appointed and contemporary rooms.
03:59Most of the inventory is on classic rooms, but I highly recommend the suite.
04:04We have Premium King rooms, which are ideal for families of two adults plus two children.
04:10We also have Junior Suites, which are very practical for honeymooners.
04:17Obviously, it's a beautiful room with bathtub.
04:19We also propose this kind of room, which are the Premium Suites, which are convertible to a two-bedroom suite, basically.
04:26But the top of our room in this property is the Sol Marina Beach Suite.
04:32We have two of those rooms, which are two-bedroom suite, basically of nearly 200 square meters.
04:39And finally, our Sol Marina Villa, which has a private pool and count about 300 square meters.
04:49So, in this room, you can accommodate a total of six people maximum.
04:53And you have a beautiful sala and you have a private space.
04:56We provide also butlers, if necessary, and so that you can just stay in your own area and enjoy the facilities.
05:04This is a destination, obviously, right? So, of course, the island itself, Boracaya Island, provides a lot of activities for our guests, right?
05:14Which is available through a third party here.
05:18People can book directly and they are picked up and assisted along the journey, the fun journey during the day.
05:24In Boracaya, it's in Move and Pick Resort and Spa Boracaya itself.
05:28Aside from the pool, we also have watersport activities, such as kayak, crystal kayak, paddle boarding.
05:35You can do, of course, snorkeling by the front of the property.
05:38And if you drift a little bit towards our neighbour, you can really enjoy the coral, obviously, and the fishes, which are right in front of the property.
05:48I think what is important, you know, when you come to a destination like this, is especially for Koppel.
05:53And if you are a romantic person and that you want to offer a very special treat to your loved one, basically,
06:00we provide a picnic, sunset picnic, which are right in front of the shore and where our team is there to help you with the experience.
06:11And if you want it to a higher level, you can go up to our private dinner, which are right in front of the beach as well,
06:18where you can have a very memorable moment with your loved one, basically, right in front of the sunset.
06:26And in Punta Bunga Cove, basically, the sunset is in front of us literally every day.
06:33It doesn't change. You don't have to look on the side. It's just right in front of us every single day.
06:37I would think that, basically, Boracay has changed a lot. I used to work here in 2008 and it was a party place, really.
06:45Today, since the closure in 2018 from the former president, basically, I think the market has changed and shifted.
06:56The island is a bit more serious and focused on families. So if the younger generation still want to have fun,
07:06the Station 2 is still the right destination for them, obviously, because all the bars, the fun area, the clubbing areas are right here over there in Station 2.
07:17In Punta Bunga here, we offer exclusivity, obviously, and privacy because nobody else can access this area.
07:26There is nobody on the beach except our own guests or the guests from our neighbors, right?
07:33But we are in the middle and we have the biggest part over there. So it's more for exclusivity.
07:38And if you want to have a relaxing destination, move and pick Resort & Spa Boracay is the right destination for you,
07:47simply because you can enjoy privacy here in the facilities. And if during your stay, you want to go and enjoy the activities that the island provides,
07:57it's just right there. I've been working here for five years, obviously, right?
08:01It has been probably my longest stint in the property in my entire hotel industry career.
08:08You know, I always privilege, honestly, to have a coffee at Sol Marina Beach Club at 7 o'clock in the morning,
08:15simply because I like to hear the sound of the waves, you know, and with no one around.
08:21You know, when you have a beautiful day starting and you can see the season passing by also from the same point of view every single day, right?
08:29So there are only two seasons in the Philippines, but you can, you know, appreciate, you know, a stormy day and a beautiful day.
08:36So, and the peace or the strength of the waves, you know, the shore is changing as well, basically.
08:44So I love to be at the front beach, you know, at the bar, either in the evening, but mostly in the morning because it's quiet.
08:52It's all mine, pretty much. There is no one on the beach at 7 o'clock. Very few people do.
08:57And enjoying a coffee there alone or with other people is probably the best moment of my day.
