Sampaguita Gardens (Jojo’s Christmas Cottage)

New Washington, Kalibo, Aklan, Philippines.  July 27, 2012.   


Two hours after leaving Boracay on our way to Iloilo City, we stopped-over and had a quick tour of the Sampaguita Gardens Resort in New Washington, Municipality of Kalibo in Aklan Province. 

The Gardens is a resort, an amusement park, and has a museum and a convention center. It has circus rides, spa, swimming pool, Jojo’s Christmas Cottage which sells Precious Moments collectibles and a Precious Moments museum.  There’s also the Samuel J. Butcher’s Mansion which houses antiques and oriental treasures.

As a traveler, this place is worth a sidetrip to/from Boracay Island.  It’s like hitting two tourist destinations in one trip.

Guests and visitors can make most out of their stay by tasting the best menus from a wide array of choices. The Asian and European architectural designs inside the resort creates an atmosphere that is not only perfect for vacationers and newly weds but also for children who will surely feast their eyes on rich colors while strolling around a safe and clean environment.
