My West Grove Experience

I was lucky enough to be invited to a media-only viewing of the Ayala Westgrove Heights in Laguna. By far, it is the most exclusive property south of Manila. It is a quiet and safe neighborhood with amenities that are nothing but first-class. Indeed it is the stuff of dreams.

The place is serene and under constant security surveillance. No one can enter without a green light from the resident you wish to visit. In addition to the security, there is also convenience so you wouldn’t have to travel so far away for medicines (there’s Mercury Drug nearby) and a day care center for the kids.

Just outside the gates of Ayala West Grove is their parish church. Though open to the public, Catholic West Grove residents enjoy the tranquility of hearing mass in the Church of St. Benedict, a modern place of worship built under the auspices and funding of the residents themselves. This church is truly a labor of love, making sure that the faithful need not travel too far from their homes just to be closer to God. Inside, the structure is purely understated elegance; a reflection of how Ayala West Grove is all about.

The Ayala West Grove has some of most amazing amenities that I have ever seen in a residential village. Aside from the great security, this is the only private gated community that offers concierge service. Need gasul? Call the concierge. Need plumber? Call concierge. You can practically call them for almost anything you need. Now that’s the Ayala brand of service. Definitely worth every cent. So, you probably wonder, what do the residents do for fun? See their facilities and be a believer.

Just one of their many man-made lagoons, designed to remind the residents why they moved in. Because of the size of this property (all 400 hectares of it), there is more than just one clubhouse. Several clubhouses with impeccable facilities are strategically situated between phases of the property. This way, residents can have easy access to the clubhouse nearest them. Celebrities and tycoons have been known to among their roster of residents, a list that is too important to reveal. Anonymity is part of the package, upon the client’s request.

The view is just as spectacular as the after-sales service. That’s why Charl is all smiles.
