The design narrative for this ocean themed mega resort hotel interweaves the narrative of how the pink dolphins rescued the local fishermen who were attacked by ravenous pirates. Located adjacent to Chimelongs theme parks,
Over 5,000 guests and kids start their ocean infused adventures each day. The playful story starts in the arrival lobby with 8 larger than life bodysurfing dolphins supporting a giant seashell clad dome with their tails. The magic wonders of the rich ocean theme is explored throughout the resort: every wall, ceiling and floor is ornately themed to express bespoke chapters of the vibrant fascinating ocean world.
Created as a fantasy experience, open for discovery in each detail, a different chapter of the choreographed story is delivered in each space and venue.
