Zambales Hotels with Breakfast

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.

kay, here's my take on Mango's Beachfront Resort in Olongapo, based on what I've seen: If you're heading to Olongapo, especially for diving, Mango's Beachfront Resort has some definite pros. The location is right on the beach, which is a big plus, and the staff are consistently praised for being super friendly and helpful. The restaurant has good food, and you can enjoy it with a view of the ocean. They've also got a dive center right there, which is really convenient if you're planning on doing some underwater exploring. However, be aware that the rooms can be hit-or-miss. Some of the standard rooms seem to be quite outdated and a bit rough around the edges – think things like mold and noisy AC. If you can, it's worth upgrading to a superior or king room, as those seem to be much better. Also, while it's a beachfront resort, the beach itself isn't necessarily the best for swimming. And just a heads up, there's no pool on the property. So, to sum it up: Mango's is a good choice if you prioritize location and friendly service, especially if you're a diver. But, be sure to choose your room carefully, and don't expect a pristine beach for swimming.

This is an older hotel I stayed at in subic . I is a long time serving the area . The rooms are basic and the WiFi in not to strong . It could have been better if the room had a kettle and some cups to make a hot beverage !! This is just a basic requirement for a hotel room . But sadly this hotel seems not upbeat to give this for the rooms . Overall the staff sons nice done not so nice . Good location near the beach . But the lack of basic kettle and cups is not what you would expect from a hotel .

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

The surrounding environment of the hotel is good, just in the Subic area. But the facilities in the room are really bad. Very old. It is a very good choice if the boss can take the money to redecorate.

Good service from one of the owners. Delicious food, their food can be compared to a large japanese resto in Manila. The place is cozy and has a chilling vibe. Their kind of hotel and resort is highly recommended for couples and small groups. They also provide a clean and relaxing room. We think there are some areas that need improvement, and one is the surrounding area for the Bar, it needs to have more Instagrammable view not to mention the tables and chairs are a bit old style for aesthetic look. The pool needs improvement and needs to be maintained when there are guests in the vicinity. Overall I would rate their resort with a 4 star. And a must place to visit. Thank you.

The staff was super attentive and courteous. I had a really nice time. The location is gorgeous and the food at the restaurant is delicious. Great value for the price. They have a pool and they do laundry for 50 pesos a kilo.

The place is clean, probably because there are limited stores around the area. They could offer food to order, besides breakfast, especially since their space is cozy for games, the pool, etc. It's a bit far from shops, so we had some hassle with food since a kitchen wasn't offered either. Aside from that, we had no problems. The staff were accommodating and kind. :))

Very helpful and accommodating staffs. The Location is accessible. The place is so refreshing! Thank you Club Monet!
