The Magical Journey of Ivy the Starfish

In a heartwarming story crafted around Ivy’s adventure, Ivy once lived on a distant underwater island, dreaming of one day visiting a beautiful kingdom named after their beloved princess—Alona.

Determined to see this magical land, Ivy set off on a bold journey across the seas. But the adventure was far from easy. Powerful waves discouraged her friends from continuing, and along the way, Ivy lost her way in the vast ocean. Just as hope seemed to fade, Ivy’s cries were heard by none other than Princess Alona herself. The kind princess came to Ivy’s rescue and introduced her to her royal parents, Queen Panglao and King Bohol.

Charmed by Ivy’s courage and cheerful spirit, the royal family decided to build her a castle—a place where she could feel right at home. Today, that castle stands proudly as Best Western Plus The Ivywall Resort-Panglao, a sanctuary where, just like Ivy, guests are warmly welcomed and made to feel at home.

For those who wish to dive deeper into Ivy’s magical tale, Best Western Plus The Ivywall Resort – Panglao offers a delightful two-in-one book that tells Ivy’s full story and doubles as a fun coloring book for children—perfect for creating new memories during your stay.
