Hotel Vida, opened in 2008, has a modern but
Southeast Asian-inspired façade that conveys both comfort and luxury but is a
contrast of structure and nature. Contrast is achieved through the
combination of smooth walls against rough wood slate cladding.
Aside from its abundant water
features and lush vegetation, the unique, modern tropical theme is further
emphasized by the exterior’s use of earth tone colors such as beige, brown and
gray. Indigenous materials are used to enhance the tropical theme, through
modern and innovative means. The interiors also mirror the same tropical and
Asian influences of the façade, with its contrast of wall texture (smooth walls
complimented by the roughness and hardness of natural stone).

This hotel's suites are
equipped with state-of the-art amenities such as electronic entry lock; IDD/NDD
phone; in-room safety box; a king size bed; a spacious living room area with
trundle bed, a kitchen and bar with 6 cu. ft. refrigerator, coffee-making
facility and a microwave oven; a balcony, toilet & bath with bathtub and 8”
ceiling-mounted shower head; and a 32” LCD cable TV.
Rooms here either offer a
view of the adjacent golf course, the beautiful, free-form swimming pool and,
much better, a verdant and well-manicured landscape crowned with palms and a
plethora of majestic, century-old acacia trees. Water elements, in the form of
artistically-designed fountains, compliment the existing landscape and soften,
together with indoor plants, the hardness of stone and concrete within the lobby
and coffee shop.

The hotel was planned and
laid out in such a way that natural ventilation, access to visually-stunning
and picture-perfect views and use of space is optimized, thus providing a light
and airy environment that exudes total relaxation and comfort, qualities which
every guest will always look forward to. The lobby is naturally lit by a
skylight and huge fixed glass windows. Similar windows provide an open
and light feeling to the 110-pax restaurant and the 45-pax, open-air veranda
pool view area, with its expansive views of the hotel pool and the lush, green
surroundings.
In 2010, Hotel Vida Clark was renamed as Widus Hotel Clark. Tow years later, a second tower was opened to bring the total room count to 233. On November 2014, the casino floor was expanded , doubling its casino tables to 52 and adding 100 slot machines.
