It was a most calming, soothing experience And I felt so refreshed, so invigorated after our 3-day sojourn. And I felt so at peace. In everything. I realize now that there is always something to smile and be thankful to God for.

Taiwan will always occupy a special place in my heart. Its majestic monuments; its amazing balance of tradition and modernization; its green, lush forests and ever-clean environment; its friendly and helpful people.

Donatela, A Home Away From Home
At the end of our stay in Donatela, we all felt refreshed, rejuvenated and ready to take on the world once again. Truly, it has been a soothing, calming experience for us; truly a home away from home. And I’d like to thank Acting GM Edward Sarmiento and his staff for the warm hospitality and care. It has been a great relaxing trip to cap the year 2022.
