The Nustar Resort and Casino Complex, perched on the picturesque island of Kawit along the South Road Properties in Cebu City, is set to make a soft opening this year.
The first of its kind and the biggest lifestyle and entertainment destination outside Manila, it promises to redefine five-star luxury, gaming, entertainment, and leisure in the southern Philippines.
A flagship project of Universal Hotels and Resorts, Inc. of the Gokongwei Group, the sprawling property will include hotel brands such as the 379-room Fili Urban Resort and Grand Summit Hotel, all to be managed by Robinsons Hotels and Resorts (RHR), the hospitality arm of Robinsons Land Corporation (RLC).
The planned casino will have a floor area of 21,000 square meters, 1,500 machines, and 250 tables.
The recreational enclave is expected to be a hub for domestic and international Meetings, Incentives, Conventions, and Exhibitions (MICE), with its spacious exhibition halls, elegant ballrooms, and high-tech support facilities suited for big events.
The property will also have a water theme park and viewing deck located at the pinnacle of the main Nustar Hotel tower, overlooking the mountains and the seas of Cebu (shown in photo).
