      Totally enjoyed our stay at the hotel. Arrived at 1pm, they allowed us early check-in. Checking-in was a breeze, the staff were very helpful. Location was a big plus. TV was not functioning, though who would watch TV when you went to Subic for a swim. Restaurant was not yet open but a nearby Central Park Reef resort has a good restaurant. Will definitely stay here again.

      Great location ”

      Good place. Staffs are very accommodating. They, however, did not clean our room until i asked them to clean. They said that i needed to display the “request to clean” sign to the door for them to clean it 🙃. Overall, it’s a great value for money.

      Nice Place to Relax”

      Affordable and the room is big enough for my family having two kids. The beach is clear which is I like most and they have a big space for car park. Will definitely come back to this place.

      Great beach front location”

      We spent a weekend in a family room and it was basically clean and spacious with 2 queen size beds. The beach, pool, and bar restaurant are just a short walk away. Beach is relatively clean and water is clear. The pool is quite small though and just enough for a dip. I highly suggest that they provide hot and cold water dispensers in public spaces or an electric kettle in each room. I tried to ask around for hot water at 4 or 5am and had to wait for the bar to open at 7am. The staff are accommodating and friendly.
