Inflatable Island — Attraction in Olongapo

On vacation and came here with my brother and our respective families for a day.

Overall feedback: Pricey, just the inflatable experience and food garnered the stars.

First impressions: it looks instagramable at first with lots of potential, the concept is great but failed by poor maintenance. Photos that they use for marketing doesn’t match the current appearance of the infrastructure which is misleading especially for foreigners.

Inflatables: Great fun, this is the experience that you pay for. The lifeguards are fab! They’re really helping the kids out as you go through the course. It gets very hot though at the middle of the day towards early afternoon so it can burn your feet. Shame it is run down, quite a few handles for climbing are gone which makes some of the courses difficult or unusable without assistance and a few of the roads don’t have enough air.

Lounge & Dining: Food and drinks are good and served pretty quick. We ordered the a la carte as the buffet wasnt available for the day. The dining area is arranged cafeteria style ran similar to a Chinese restaurant but with nicer furniture and ambiance, tables and seats are crammed (somehow I was sat next to the water cooler) paper receipts taped to your table…a lady was following our food service and taking photos of the food…which was confusing because it didn’t seem like it was for social media. There is apparently a lounge bar by the entrance but it seemed more like a waiting area with all the seats and sofas crammed into the perimeter of fake grass.

Beach loungers: There are several bean bags free for use with grass umbrellas and a few loungers. It wasn’t a busy day so we managed to get a few for ourselves. Although we had first in mind to rent the king size bed but didn’t find 3K was worth it given we had paid 1K+ already to begin with and it wasn’t in the best condition either.

Pool: it’s right under the sun with little to no shade, it’s okay although the surroundings apart from the dining area can be better improved as there was just mess scattered around or unused cooking exhausts dumped in the corner.

Toilet facilities: Can’t say for the men’s, but the female must have been once nice and pleasant, but like everything else it’s poorly maintained. Bins on top of toilets, stains on the seats…it smelled as well. There was a lady who seemed to be manning the place but she was on her phone…or maybe she was a guest???

Booking: Recommendation is to book online but it was a pain to book multiple tickets, so ended up doing a walk-in instead. Staff on-site said it’s because someone isn’t manning the website in the evenings that’s why it wasn’t working efficiently…anyway left the feedback that it’s not...

The ACTUAL inflatable was enjoyable and challenging, and the lifesaver that assited us was very encouraging and helpful. We were fortunate to have the inflatable to ourselves because we visited on a Thursday and before Holy Week. I have listed tips and further feedback for this place hoping to help people who are thinking of going here for the first time.

‼️DO'S & DON'T'S / TIPS‼️ DO bring a good upper body and core strength before doing the inflatable DO expect strong waves when you visit from lunch onwards. Mornings are better for less bouncy inflatable and calm waves DO wear aqua shoes or even normal socks to help with grip when walking on inflatable DO expect to be sore the next day as the inflatable will tire you out and stretch all the muscles you have never stretched before. We were set/finished within 1-1.5 hours DO bring a waterproof camera. They allow you to film and lifesavers can take some photos and videos of you too DO call or e-mail them for more clarification as some of their online information are lacking, misleading, or redundant DO NOT expect the place (restaurant, pool, tiki huts) area to be spacious. The place appears bigger and more aesthetic on their social media DO tell them when the music at the restaurant is loud DO NOT expect quick service at the restaurant. Call as many servers as you can to secure your order The tiki huts (umbrella + pink bean bags) are FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED, and the cabana (w/ beds) are NOT FREE or NOT INCLUDED in any of the passes For family members that are not intended to play at the inflatable, but had to be included, the non-inflatable area (restaurant, pool, beach) is NOT WHEELCHAIRS/STROLLERS FRIENDLY. No pavement from parking to the restaurant, and restaurant leading to the beach. The existing ramps are not the best. Anything with wheels will only be comfortable at the restaurant area Their pool is more of a children's pool The food at the restaurant are an okay serving, slightly on the expensive side, and mostly above the included consumable (Php 500)

If it was an option, I would have only paid for access to the inflatable and not everything they have included in their...

Sulit events place for 300 pax; 3 hrs from Manila.

We were on the hunt for an events place that could accommodate 300 employees, and we ended up here—and honestly, great choice! Everyone had a blast. We just wish we could’ve stayed longer.

The booking staff was super easy to work with—my teammate handled all the nitty-gritty logistics, and everything went smoothly. This place is perfect if you’re looking for a chill spot for your team to unwind.

I had a long logistics checklist, and they delivered on almost everything—except shampoo/soap and towels. (I am sharing my checklist on the pictures, but read from the bottom up, please. Uploading sequesnce is noncooperative). The food was pretty delicious considering the price! We opted for the managed buffet, which could’ve been managed a bit better. There was plenty of food, but some of our team were too shy to go back for seconds, so maybe a little encouragement or better flow would’ve helped.

We made a special request for halo-halo and turon, and they gladly accommodated us. They’ve got a bar, a pool, and shaded picnic areas, which made hanging out super comfortable.

Now, about the beach: the rubber mats in the water could use some serious brushing—green algae, which were visibly clinging on, and they’re kind of gross. They’re below the surface, but if you fall or climb back up, expect some slimy contact. Also, a major shoutout to the kuyas—they were very helpful! Just be careful of sea urchins in the water. And FYI, the sand gets scorching hot, so maybe don’t plan a barefoot stroll. Just swim, be silly, and rub tons of sunscreen.

Overall, the staff had a great time. It’s about a three-hour drive from Manila, so plan your program well—or better yet, stay overnight if your budget allows.

Cost- We paid under 2k per head: Venue, sound system, am snack,...
