Floating bar (bar & restaurant floating in the sea) is also nearby in front of the beach. The hotel had a pool and a bar which was nice. Also, the girl with short hair at the reception is super cute! Many of the bar staff are also beautiful, and that alone will lift your spirits.
Very basic room with a comfortable bed. But definitely overpriced for what you get. Breakfast was simple and basis. There were enough choices to pick from. Covered parking was nice since it was raining.
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.
Pros+ - before booking, I asked the girls at the reception to show me the room, they showed me the room and after that I booked the room.
+ - delicious breakfast, but the website said that you could go to lunch instead of breakfast, at the reception they said that it was only breakfast.
+ good worker, helped out many times, showed how to use the safe, forgot the key in the room, he opened it for me.
Cons - it seems that the pool is not cleaned, a lot of insects are swimming, I wanted to swim, but did not dare.
Cunning staff - they reminded me that I did not return the card from the door, but did not tell me anything about the fact that I forgot the deposit of 2000 pesos, when I came 5 hours later, my money was taken to another place. A taxi at the hotel costs 500 pesos for foreigners
