 INTRODUCTION

Last 25th of November 2012, The Bellevue Hotels & Resorts (BH&R) made

a historic landmark to the province of Bohol as it opened their first luxurious five

star resort situated along the peaceful shores of Panglao Island near end of

barangay Doljo, The Bellevue Resort takes you away from the busy lifestyle of the

city to give you a most desired break from reality. The greatest part of it is, all of

the lavish experience you get at The Bellevue in Bohol go beyond the value of

what you are paying for.

As one of the leading five-star resorts in the Philippines, The Bellevue Bohol

is a much preferred destination both by local and international travelers alike. It

also takes pride in being a resort so environment-friendly, the resort won the

ASEAN Green Hotel Award. The remarkable staff at The Bellevue Bohol practices

environmental-friendly principles and adopts energy conservation measures to

achieve sustainable tourism. The criteria of being awarded as an ASEAN Green

Hotel include energy efficiency, water efficiency, air quality management indoor

and outdoor, and other hotel policies that preserve the beauty of Mother Earth.

The Bellevue Resort captures the discerning taste of locals and travelers

alike. The resort boasts its 3.5 hectare property with its impressive and spacious

158 well-appointed deluxe rooms and suites mostly fronting the exclusive 250-

meter sugary white sand beach. With amenities and recreational facilities like

childrens play area, gym, spa, archery, aqua sports activities, an infinity pool

overlooking the breathtaking view of Doljo beach with dive pool plus two multi-
cuisines dining venues, Lamian World Cuisine and Marea Al Fresco. You can

indulge all your senses in the culinary delights of Lamian, it presents tempting

traditional Filipino and International fare using the ingredients the region has to

offer. Indoor and outdoor dining is provided in this welcoming yet sophisticated

space. In the other hand, Marea Al Fresco is perched on a spectacular seaside

beach front. Being the resorts seafood restaurant, patrons will be delighted with a

wide selection of international wines and crafted signature cocktails, Marea offers

the perfect spot to hangout by the pool. The restaurant also offers Chinese

selective.

The rooms and suites cater from single to multiple occupants depending on

the room category. Each room features a bathroom with bathtub, rooms have

access to the balcony on the upper floors and to the garden on the ground floor.

Room categories are the Deluxe Room, Deluxe Room Ocean View, Deluxe

Handicapped, Junior Suite, Bellevue Suites, Premier Suites, Chairman Suites and

the Presidential Suite. Staying in one of the resorts 158 guestrooms, guest can

expect five-star essentials including bathroom with a bathtub, as well as balcony.

Ask for the honeymoon special and you get a tub filled with flowers, with candles

and the works for a romantic evening with your loved one.

Meanwhile, will never be the same at the Chairmans Suite, the highest suite

in the resort. Those who book this room are isolated from the rest of the resort

since it has its own secret staircase. Another perk is that the suite enjoys a wrap-

around balcony with a 360 degree view of the whole Panglao Island that will surely

send the neurons firing. All rooms are equipped with voltage sockets (220V) and
multi-pin sockets for standard electrical appliances. Additional adapters,

transformers or extension wires can be made available.

Corporate agenda can also be held in this luxurious ambience at The

Bellevue Pavilion. Conduct meetings and team buildings in a professionally set up

location within the area of the Bellevue Bohol. For a more relaxed meeting, there

is the open-air Cena Ocean view function room that sits on top of the Marea Al

Fresco restaurant.

In front of their Pavilion Tent is the Bellevue Mission Center. It started when

Mr. Johnny Chan saw what we were doing in Paranaque, and he wanted to put up

this center in Panglao to help the community, said Emmanuel Gamonez of

Worldwide Familia Mission, Inc., who heads the Bellevue Mission Center. The

resorts STEPS program, which stands for Specialized Training and Education for

Progressive Students, provide supplementary education to the children of the

barangays local families, such as a computerized program run by Teacher Stefan

that teaches reading via phonics to children. Another interesting part of the mission

center is the Bellevue Greenhouse. Bohol has a sandy terroir and is more known

for fishery rather that agriculture, but with the help of technology, Gamonez has

managed to produce organically grown crops including arugula, eggplants, squash,

as well as various herbs like fennel, dill, and coriander, which the Bellevue Bohol

Resort uses. Some of its produce, like the herbs, have also been sold to hotels

and restaurants in the island. The garden aims to not only gain income to support

the Mission Center, as well as to create jobs for locals in the community.
 Having a vacation at The Bellevue Bohol in Panglao allows you take part in

exciting activities inside the resort and beyond its walls. Making sure that you get

your much deserved time to unwind, this Bohol accommodation builds up your

adobe with the conveniences needed for an outstanding stay. At the end of the

adrenaline-driven day, rest in tranquility as you lie down on soothing mattresses

and soft pillows that guarantee a serene nights sleep.

The standard check-in time is at 3 pm and the standard check-out time is at

in advance so they may inform the gust of the availability.

EXPERIENCE

FRONT OFFICE DEPARTMENT

I act as one of the Lobby Ambassador of the resort. I learned the standard

way of handling the guest from the lobby to the reception area. I had the in-room

service where I assisted the guest to their room and explain inside the

complimentary of the resort. I did the luggage up and down. I already assisted

guest by the authorization of the Asst. Front Office Manager and by the help of the

Lobby Ambassador to tour them to every room up to the Chairman Suite where

the guest would really enjoy the 360 degree view of Panglao Island. I learned also

the standard way of answering calls from our in-house guest and respond to their

concerns. They teach us also how to do a room reservation, check-in and check-

out.

HOUSEKEEPING DEPARTMENT

I was partnered with a room attendant. He taught me the standard way of

cleaning the room, what should be the first thing and what the last thing Ill be doing.

He taught me on how to do bed making. I found it hard and heavy but then I got

used to it. I was also assigned at the Pavilion where I learned how to used water
vacuum to clean the floor mats. Everything was not that easy but I did not give up.

Sometimes I became a server when there was a function of 600 plus pax. But at

the end of the day I found myself smiling and happy for I had this privileged to work

and to encounter different people with different personalities.

RECREATION DEPARTMENT

I was assigned at the Play Area where I learned how to operate the PS3

and PS4. I also learned how to be more patient with the children most specially

those hard headed and the one who does not speak English. I learned also how

to used sign language just to let them understand. I once assisted guest to our

organic farm tour and archery alone with my knowledge. I am assigned to

encourage guest to join our daily activities such as bottom glass boat ride, archery,

just dace kids, zumba, yoga, aqua zumba and movie time. I was also assigned at

the life guard station providing guest their beach towels and sand toys for kids.

FOOD AND BEVERAGE DEPARTMENT

Before anything else, I polish cutleries first. Making sure that all cutleries

are safe for the guest to use. I learned to seat up cutleries at the table to be use

for buffet breakfast. Whenever there was a buffet dinner I was assigned to refill

water. Still I tried to served guest, having interaction with them like taking their

orders and telling the chef about it. Most of my time at the Food and Beverage was

spent for doing observation about the proper and standard way in dealing with the

guest regarding about their orders and foods they ordered and I believed through

my observation and experienced I learned a lot from it.

 SUGGESTIONS

How can the establishment improve their operations?

To improve their operations establishment must hire more employees. For

what I observed when there were a large functions at the same time most of the

employees extended their working hours or double their duties just to assist the

guests and for me that was so tiring. There should be equality not just among the

employees but also to the ojts and I am taking about the time. They must also

prioritize their ojts in employment for they have already the knowledge about the

establishment compare to others.

How can we improve our practicum program?

For the improvement of the practicum program, there should be a

communication between the students in the establishment and the school or

perhaps a visit to the establishment we are working with.
