Batangas shines brighter as a tourism, business and leisure hub as Lima Park Hotel (LPH) earns four-star rating from the Department of Tourism (DOT), affirming its reputation as a premier business and leisure establishment.
The citation was given during the Recognition and Awarding of Certificates and Plaques for Star Rating Hotel ceremony held at the DOT IV-A office in Calamba, Laguna.
The plaque was awarded by Rebecca Villanueva-Labit, regional drector, DOT IV-A and the certificate handed over by Marites T. Castro, head of Standards and Accreditation of DOT.

Labit commends LPH for its effort to exceed expectations. “There were very few establishments which was able to comply with the standards that were set forth by the Department of Tourism when we started the program for the star rating. Today is a truly proud moment for us because we are awarding your seal of excellence as a four-star-rated hotel. We congratulate Lima Park Hotel for continuously pursuing excellence in its facilities and service,” she says.
