OUR ORIGINS
Formerly known as Pangpang by the locals during the 40’s and 50’s, The name, Wuthering Heights, was coined by American professors from Silliman University when they visited the beachside small cliffs of Tapon Norte, Municipality of San Jose, Negros Oriental during the 1950's.
Picnicking on these small cliffs of San Jose gave them the same feeling for the novel, “Wuthering Heights,” by Emily Brontë. This name somehow stuck to the students in Dumaguete who also started frequenting these San Jose cliffs to hang out for swimming and picnics.
Fe Amiscaray Pareja of San Jose, would often come to Pangpang with her sisters and friends to swim and just hang out. In 1963, she met Ramon E. Montaño, a young constabulary officer who was assigned in the nearby town.
Along with their friends, they used to go to Wuthering Heights regularly to hang out and swim. Fe and Ramon eventually married and started a family of their own. The couple began the tradition of taking their young family, relatives, and pet dog to Wuthering Heights for picnics.
This was such a memorable place for them that when it was up for sale, the couple bought the place and decided to share it to the world by building a small hotel in 1994. It was first called Wuthering Heights Beach Resort. Now the resort serves as a bed and breakfast beach hotel that continues to welcome guests who seek a relaxing and private getaway.
