AS I WALKED INTO the sprawling lobby of the recently inaugurated New World Hoiana Beach Resort, I was struck by an unmistakable aura of grandeur that hung in the air. This was because I was realising just how spacious everything was. The resort exuded an extraordinary sense of space and freedom, from its lavish hotel grounds to the vast expanses within its premises (the lobby alone was easily the biggest I’ve seen).
Checking in was a breeze, thanks to the receptive staff, and I had the pleasure of being boarded in the Deluxe Room with a partial view of the ocean. This was one out of the 330 other rooms and suites in the hotel.
Following the theme of spaciousness, I found my 50-metre-square room easily able to accommodate six people, so I wondered how roomier the 97-meter-square suites must’ve been! I marvelled at the equally ample bathroom, a breath of fresh air from the cramped quarters of urban dwelling.
As it was, I already had ample room to get my daily calisthenics workout in. There was even enough space to do so in the bathroom. Not that I needed to, as the hotel already included a well-equipped gym for health-conscious travellers like myself.
