Hoteles de 2 estrellas en Luzón Central, Filipinas

Our experience with this beach resort is really far from what we were expecting. First of all, the staff there did not even show a single sign of hospitality. The moment we got there, we were standing for almost a minute looking for the person in charge, only to find them sitting at the table watching us with no expression and then just asked us the name on the booking, which I found rude and really not the right way of welcoming a guest. Second of all, we originally booked a family room with two double decks, but what was given to us was two double decks and one single bed. They could've informed us of the sudden change and we would surely understand, but no—we just knew it the moment we got inside the room. There are other things that were not informed to us, like the usage of the refrigerator. We were not informed that the refrigerator is for sharing. The ref was already full and they still wanted us to share it. They could've informed us in the first place so we would leave room. We paid 250 per night for ref usage, which I found outrageous. There are things I want to add that I did not like, like the rope they set up to put your wet clothes near where the table is placed, and it is not really ideal since clothes are dripping everywhere, especially on the table. The faucet is something they did not even give time to replace, and I found it disgusting. Every time I have to touch the faucet, I feel a greasy feeling and an unpleasant smell. Nevertheless, the price is quite cheap and affordable, and the beach is only a few steps away. I just hope they train their staff to be more hospitable and teach them proper manners, because even until the time we left the resort, no one showed up to say goodbye or thank us for our stay. We simply left as if nothing had happened.

I recently stayed at Samba Blue Water Resort in Olongapo City, Zambales, and I’d like to share my full experience. From the peaceful beach atmosphere to the accommodating staff, it was a stay that truly stood out — both for its strengths and for a few areas that could be improved. The moment I arrived at Samba Blue, I could tell this wasn’t just another commercial beachfront resort. It had a laid-back, local island vibe that immediately made me feel at ease. The entrance was welcoming, check-in was smooth, and the staff made me feel like a valued guest from the start. I stayed in one of their rooms and it offered a good balance of comfort and nature. The space was clean, the bed was comfortable, and the room had the essentials I needed for a relaxing beach getaway. The sound of the waves in the background and the breeze flowing through the resort made it easy to unwind. If you're someone who enjoys a more ”back-to-basics” island experience, you’ll probably love the rustic charm. The beach area is the real highlight. The shoreline was clean, and there were enough shaded areas and cabanas to relax in. I loved that the resort maintained a peaceful, non-crowded vibe, even though there were several other guests staying at the same time. The pool area and sun deck were well-maintained, and I enjoyed the acoustic night setup they had on the weekend — it was a perfect way to end the day with some live music under the stars. They also offer water activities like jet skiing and banana boat rides, which add excitement if you’re in the mood for adventure.

I didn't know... Now I know... Honestly, everything considered about this place, it's not bad at all. The food was good, we were allowed to smoke in the room and the AC was working just fine. However, the shower wasn't the best and soap was only supplied for one pax. The TV was also just not it... All channels were static but watchable and Netflix was unavailable.

We extended our stay, so we kept the same room and the same issue. The water drains slowly in the sink, and sometimes it gets clogged. On the second day, we ordered food. According to their menu: Sinigang – 285 Half chicken – 300 Rice – 40 × 2 = 80 Coffee – 50 × 2 = 100 The total should have been 805, but we were charged 840. I only noticed it late and couldn’t get the change anymore. I find this misleading since the prices don’t match what’s on the menu.

The place is a 5-6 min Tuktuk ride to Sabang.it’s a nice budget hotel that still has some comfort. The AC units work well and the breakfast is delicious. Very friendly staff as well.

“Great location, accommodating staff, and convenient access to Subic’s attractions. Not perfect, but overall a comfortable stay and good value for money. Will definitely consider staying here again.”

Check in was easy. Staffs were polite. Everything was good except when I tried connecting to the Internet. I am a regular customer to wifi password is already saved. However this time I got an error. I called reception they connected me to a different Internet but result is the same. Can't connect in the room. I really need the Internet for work purposes. I text the number In the room. I got a reply immediately. Internet was fixed in 30mins. But during my 24hr stay. I still get the occasional error. Overall stay could have been perfect if not for the Internet issue. I also found out other people were complaining about it. It's sort of the staff are telling them connection is not available inside the room

Good day, I'll write my experience nung nag check in ako.. hmmmm so good naman. Everything is okay but I have a two (2) concerned hehe. 😅 1.) Ahm pagka may foods na kasama sa booking maybe lagyan nyo ng toothpick yung order na foods lalo na Pag meets 🥴🥴 yun lang HAHAHAHA. Second; pagka package ba kukunin na booking with free food, tapos yung food late na na deliver consider ba yun na free din?? Kasi nga po yung package na kinuha ko is may kasamang free food so, consider din ba na mababawasan yung amount dun sa package na bino-book ko?? 🤔🤔 Kanina kasi kinuha ko yung free meal ko and 8:40am ata yun nung pumunta ako sa front desk para kunin ko yung meal ko then , nag antay ako tapos ayun umabot yung Oras ng 10am yung Pag aantay ko hehe 🤦 then yung naka lagay sa Catalog is before 10mins dapat andyan na yung food if hindi? It's consider a FREE?! Hmmmmm 🤔🤔 yun lang naman the rest is okay.. 👍👍 Salamat po, sa Sogo Tarlac Hotel, first time to check in po and first time to use online booking 😂🥴 medyo kabado ako kasi baka scam 😂😂 HAHAHAHAHA sa uulitin po, shout out pala sa mga stuff na babae, may crush ako dun 😂😂🤭 then si sir na nag assist Sakin, shout out din salamat sa Pag assist 👏👏 PS: Joel O. #Chek in (26,27,28) #ROOM 339

Es lo que es. La habitación era grande y razonablemente limpia. Las toallas estaban enfrías, y las hojas ”blancas” estaban grises. El refrigerador de la habitación era mayor que la media. Hay una pequeña mesa y sillas en la habitación - usted podría comer o hacer trabajo allí. El aire acondicionado estaba funcionando bien. El hotel está situado en una tienda de 24 tiendas, muy cómoda, agradable y con una capa de seguridad. Tenemos algunos problemas que se quedaron dormidos por tres razones: 1. Las galletas eran altas y las rocas duras. Mi esposa y yo tuvimos cuellos duros. 2. Había algunos individuos inebriados que tenían un argumento muy alto @ 3 am. 3. Peor de todo, había un grifo bastante cerca de nuestra habitación. Como la mayoría de los grifos, cada vez que vio un coche con sus luces encendidas, se volvió loco. Las fotos son del interior del edificio y le darán un sentimiento por la zona.

Bang for the bucks. It has all you need as a traveler. Its budget friendly offers comfortable stay near key locations in bataan. Very clean, good wifi and TV. Common CR but clean. The pillow and sheets are clean i just have 1 concern. We booked the loft type. Whenever i move in bed the wood frame has creeking noise. I cant get to CR and get back without the creeking noise. But overall it was a nice stay. Will book again but another type of room maybe.
