Surface Liwa Resort's pool is huge enough to accommodate all room guests. The staff are approachable and friendly. They have decent parking spaces, so there's no need to park on the sides of the resort. It has an Airbnb-hotel type atmosphere with its cozy, homey, and nature-inspired style. As I am used to the hustle and bustle of Manila, a getaway to Zambales and a stay at Surface would calm my mind and body. However, if you are someone who is up for a party all night, there are bars around Surface Liwa, or you can buy your own drinks and stay in the nipa hut owned by Surface by the beach. These are separate nipa huts away from the resort. I brought my own tissue as the resort does not provide it, but they have bidets. Toothpaste and soap are provided. They also have a Filipino food menu. There is fast Wi-Fi in the lobby; however, in some parts of the resort, the Wi-Fi connection might be weak, and you might have to use your own data. If you want to use an ATV, Surface Liwa has partnered with Daniel, who has 6 ATV units, and you will get a discount if you tell them you are staying at Surface Liwa. Surface Liwa has a style that lets you relax and unwind. The blankets in the bedrooms are thin, so you might need to bring your own thick blanket if you get cold easily, but you can also adjust the temperature of the air conditioner. Overall, Surface Liwa provides a tranquil space for anyone, with options to swim, surf, or simply sit and enjoy hammocking.
