My recent stay at the Court Meridian Hotel in Subic was a mixed experience with notable pros and cons. While the hotel boasts several positive aspects, the negative experiences unfortunately overshadowed our stay.||Pros:|Clean and Up-to-Date Facilities: The hotel is well-maintained, with clean rooms and modern amenities.||Friendly Staff: The staff were generally friendly and accommodating.||Nice Pool: Although the pool is smaller than it appears in the website photos, it was still a pleasant spot to relax.||Cons:||Overzealous Security Measures: The staff's constant need for us to sign for every little item made us feel like potential criminals rather than guests. Extra towels, buckets of ice, and pool towels all required a signature, and follow-up calls to check on their return were intrusive.||Exorbitant Charges for Ice: Charging 80 pesos for a small bucket of ice and 200 pesos for a large bucket is excessive, especially considering that a larger bag of ice from 7-11 costs only 28 pesos.||Inadequate Towel Provision: Our room, booked for four people, initially had only two towels. The next day, there was only one. Despite requesting more, the staff made it difficult, even attempting to charge my sister-in-law extra for additional towels.||Inflexible and Limited Breakfast Options: The mandatory breakfast coupon offers only one item, and an additional 200 pesos is required for the buffet.

Read moreThe overall hotel service is great and the hospitality showed by the staff was topnotch.
Rooms: with the peak season reservation at dec 23-24, we were only able to reserve 6 rooms for 18 adults and 2 kids, unfortunately our reservation in agoda app was inaccurate and hence the receptionist helped us settle with the adjustments which was already cheap. The deluxe twin rooms are good for only 2 pax which is spacious and good for a 3 star hotel. The hotel has a good comfort room/bathroom with hot and cold switches and bidet for the toilet which is already comparable for the marriot hotel in manila.
The rooms we had at the 1st floor were beside the pool which is 4-5ft deep cozy however if you have children be cautious since they may slip over.
Services: iron and iron stand can be availed thru the reception/concierge for free but you can only use it for 30mins a day.
Discounts: they are giving away coupons for near services like food, parks and leisure areas.
Breakfast: availed thru 3rd party resto (gerry’s grill in front or breakfast atbp resto at the side) but if you chose the with breakfast option you will have a coupon to show to these 2 resto.
Parking: spacious however it may be full on a peak season luckily they accomodated our 3 cars.
Staff: with good smiles and warm welcome. They can assist you with anything. We celebrated my father’s 60th suprise party and they easily assisted us without hesitation. They are very accomodating and easy to transact with.
Overall, we recommend it to families who want to relax and just be around the subic port. Its also in front of a water sports area good for those banana boat and jetski...
