History
Before Kalipayan Resort opened its doors, the owners have had a long
history in the hospitality industry. They opened their first hotel in Lipa City,
Batangas in 1979 named D’ Family Crowd Hotel and Restaurant. It was a small
hotel with 14 rooms that also had a small venue with a 200 seating capacity,
which the Rotary Club of Lipa City as well as Kiwanis Club members frequented
for their meetings. The venue also served as a discotheque-bar and restaurant. It
closed in the year 1985, when Mr. Diaz decided to focus all his energies on his
rapidly growing Customs Brokerage business.
In 1993, they opened Pahiyas Restaurant in the, then thriving, Coastal
Road restaurant cluster built on stilts over the Manila Bay. Pahiyas was a popular
restaurant for a number of years before they shut their doors in 1999 to operate a
small concession that provided staff meals inside the production plant of
industrial giant EDS-EMI Yasaki along Emilio Aguinaldo Highway in Imus, Cavite.
The land where Kalipayan Resort is situated used to be a sleepy farmland
in the rural of Dasmariñas, Cavite back when Mr. Diaz bought the property in
1990. It opened its doors to the public in the year 2000, after a labor of love that
lasted a decade. The owners decided on the name Kalipayan, which in the
Visayan dialect means happiness. Upon opening, the Resort included a Chinese
4
restaurant called Fung Lok within its vicinity that eventually dissolved to make
room for the Resorts growing demand for various functions and events. Now
more than a decade old, Kalipayan Resort Hotel and Restaurant is a veritable
institution in an area which the Department of Tourism has proclaimed to be The
Tiger of the South.
Our Mission:
Our goal is to deliver a high standard of service that will exceed every
guest expectations. We aim to make each guest leave our Resort with a smile.
We will strive to obtain our guests’ loyalty through the quality of care we provide
and the value we put in their patronage.
Our Vision:
We envision serving our community through a conscious participation in
protecting our environment by using renewable materials in our service as much
as possible and encouraging our guests to actively participate through the
implementation of a simple conservation and recycling program. We hope to
continue as leading exemplars of quality and value among our industry peers and
remain competitive while the city of Dasmariñas continues in its development.

C. Man Power
Man power is the main need when it comes to hospitality industry. The
people who are working there are what we called man power. In Kalipayan resort
there are only two shifting when it comes to the housekeeping department. They
only have two housekeeping supervisor that is responsible in up keeping of the
hotel. The first shift is starting to 6:00 am - 2:00 pm and the night shift is starting
to 2:00 pm - 10:00 pm. Although the front desk supervisor also have two shifting
they are different from the housekeeping department because they have two
shifting but they have to duty 12 hours in each day like 6:00 am - 6:00 pm or vice
versa 6:00 pm - 6:00 am. Sometimes when the other front desk supervisor were
on a day-off the other front desk supervisor need to duty 24 hours straight in the
lobby for them to attain the guest needs. And as the housekeeping supervisor is
out the front des officer become an all around employee in the hotel they will be
the waiter and the housekeeper at the same time because there are only two
employee left when 10 o’clock in the evening comes, only the front desk
supervisor and the security guard for the safety of the guest.
