When I visited the Aklan Museum, I got a brochure showing the different tourist spots in Kalibo and in the province of Aklan. One of the attractions that caught my eye was the Sampaguita Gardens in New Washington, Aklan.
Sampaguita Gardens offers a great view of the sea
After visiting the main church (Our Lady of the Holy Rosary Parish) in New Washington as well as Rizal’s Monument, Jaime Cardinal Sin’s monument, some old houses and the municipal hall (the market is located somewhere else), I rode a tricycle and asked to be dropped off at Sampaguita Gardens. It’s a short distance from the town proper.
True enough, the place is wonderful. It has a Mediterranean theme (and offers a great view of the sea) as well as Christmas theme. There’s an entire house that has a wide ranged of Christmas decorations. All around the place, you’ll see Christmas decors and angels. The entrance fee is affordable and almost all corners are instagrammable.
The sprawling 2.6 hectare property features 48 Guestrooms and Suites; three restaurants; Convention Facilities; Business Center; Spa and Fitness Center; 2 swimming pools; Circus Rides; a 43 Ft. Aquarium; Oriental Garden, Precious Moments Gallery; the Samuel J. Butcher Mansion with its vast antique collection and stunning pieces of bric-a-bracs and other Orientalia; Precious Moments Meditation Chapel and Jojo’s Christmas Cottage, a Victorian cottage showcasing Precious Moments collectibles and the unique JCC Museum of Christmas.
