We stayed in this resort for 3 days and 2 Nights. It was a pleasant stay even though it was raining non-stop due to the Typhoon Goring.
Room: We stayed in Standard Twin (Second Floor, Left Building). Spacious room for us (3 adults). The room is still spacious for 5 adults. May mini fridge, water supplies, tea, coffee, and coffee press. TV with Cable (not smart TV). Water supplies in the bathroom are strong.
Something to improve: (Minimal) Noise. Hindi naming alam if from other rooms ba or from the stockroom that is near to our room. Kalabog ng parang door or something banging on the wall. Shower head. Alanganin ung placement ng shower head and patungan ng mga toiletries.
Foods: We are happy with the taste, and for us, it is a reasonable price. The quality is not cheap. For example, soy sauce is not the most common cheap soy sauce in the market. Seafoods are fresh too. We had Sinigang, Kilawin, Pork Sisig, Shrimp in Aligue, Liempo, Daing na Bangus Belly, Continental Sausage, Buffet Breakfast.
We respect the reviews here about their foods. Marami ang namamahalan. For us, sulit naman with ang price and quality ng foods. They are careful and strict with bringing food not because they want to sell theirs, but because of the Monkeys. Maraming monkeys that strolling around kasi they are visiting trees na may mga fruits na kinakain nila. If the Resort is not strict in bringing food, they will have problems/challenge with the monkeys. Nangunguha kasi sila ng pagkain na nakakalat.
Our advice is to add a budget for the food š If budgeted ang trip, you may drive din naman going to Harbor Point and Subic Center to eat in restaurants. Approximately 30mins drive. Bring snacks, it is allowed naman.
Service: Excellent! They are very attentive, fast, and reliable. Due to the typhoon, nagka flood and the employees made a small makeshift footbridge. For every request, they ensure they can fulfill it.
Massage: Okay din. Book in advance.
Beach/Swimming Pool: Clean beach, nice sands. Not too salty water on the beach and minimal waves. We love the scenery kasi may mountains sa tapat. Swimming pool is nice too, pwede sa bata kasi hindi malalim.
Overall, we enjoyed our stay. We will definitely be...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreIn terms of facilities this resort will probably rival ACEA (also located in Subic Bay). Well-designed, well-maintained and classy rooms. The overwater casitas, in general, would be perfect for big families. The De Luxe room with Loft for smaller groups.||The beach and pool area are of sizes just enough to accommodate guests. Speaking of the beach, it is nice, with clear waters, but the rocks, pebbles and shells make it feel like you are walking around Lego bricks.||The food can be iffy; some are quite good, others make you wonder why they look and taste like they do.||We arrived on a Sunday, so presumably most of the crowd had already left. But the staff seemed overwhelmed at this point. By afternoon, no beach towels were available. The guy in yellow (heās your towel guy) tells us the towels are still in the dryer. The towels never did arrive, leaving us walking into the room all dripping and very wet. When we went to the restaurant later for dinner, we were asked if we had a reservation. I mean, we were resort guests, in a resort several kilometers away from the nearest restaurant; were we expected to dine elsewhere? ||Wifi is very spotty. One moment youāre connected, and 5 mins later youāre out. We talked to the front desk about this, and they promised to look into it. It never did get sorted out.||This is a really nice place to go to, 3 hours away from Metro Manila. Worth the price, but I know the wifi is a deal breaker for many. I asked our kids about this and if they were willing to come back, and they said, no longer than an...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreThe room itself and the facilities were quite good. Well maintained and clean. The location of the hotel is VERY isolated so be sure to bring everything you will need. If you have a car, the nearest convenience store is almost 30 minutes drive. We thought it would be peaceful and quiet because of the isolated location but we were very wrong. Our stay was for 3 nights and during that time we found several issues with the layout of the facilities and the shortcomings of the restaurant. First, it is impossible to take a nap during the day due to the noise outside the room as well as hearing footsteps and running from the occupants of the room above. Music is playing outside continuously during the day so if you donāt like it, it is too bad for you. The beach is not sandy, itās gravel and not very nice at all. I would not swim there. Itās also very small. So, you would think that they would have a large pool to make up for the sub-par beach, but we found another disappointment there. The pool is very small and always full of people. Very noisy and not pleasant or relaxing. The restaurant was average except for the breakfast buffet, which was totally disappointing. The selection was poor, and many items were missing or so picked over that there was nothing edible left. It was obvious that the restaurant was overworked and understaffed. I would not recommend this hotel at any price but especially since it is very expensive compared to other options...
