Olongapo Villas

I my family and I rented three rooms here in December 2022. Two rooms with a king size bed and one room with two queen size beds. All rooms had spectacular views from their private balconies. The Wi-Fi connection was not strong in one of our rooms but the staff promptly moved us into a new room. We especially enjoyed how the hotel offers massages in the room. The beach was rocky but the view was unbeatable. The breakfast in the morning was great and cost friendly and the dinner in the evening was even more cost friendly and so tasty. We can’t wait to return here during our next trip to Subic!

A week ago, I booked a ”superior Deluxe” room with bathtub, for our 8th couple Anniversary, as I wanted to treat my wife for this occasion. As she was around and I couldn't speak, I immediately confirmed by e-mail, requesting (with a supplement) some flowers and chocolates. First my request was denied for ”short notice” ! Like you need over 2 days to pick a flew flowers and buy some chocolates... Upon arrival, we had to pay the total amount, 18'000 peso, in advance ! Now I understand why... The first room did not have a bathtub, so I demanded that my booking to be fulfilled ! Then we were brought to the one with a bathtub... For the whole week-end we didn't have any warm water, so no bathtub, no shower ! The room was filthy... I ate a cookie on saturday afternoon, the crumbs were still on the nightstand when we left on monday ! The room 581 ”Superior Deluxe” is totally run down, just check the pictures !!! Stains everywhere on the walls, dirty windows, loose electric wires hanging in front of windows... Cobwebs on the Shower ceiling... And the bathtub... Probably some antiques from the 19th century when you see this piece of work (pictures to prove...). If you like geology, you will enjoy that room, as you also havbe a wonderful ”fault line” going across the room ! Now the restaurant... Many dishes are ”unavailable” even simple hashbrowns !!! What's left is totally overpriced and the crew prefers to sit and make jokes about the customers (bad luck, my wife is pinay and understood the whole lot...) ! So all in all ? A week-end in Hell at the price of a very good hotel in Manila... Just stay away !

The resort is right on the beach. The pool is a little small but the bar is right next to it. Staff are very friendly and helpful. My room was rundown though. Shower was weak and the drain was blocked. Bed sheets were clean. Would recommend if you're travelling on the cheap

This hotel was simple but cute, with small but attractive rooms. The beds were very comfortable. Rooms with a balcony are better as those without feel a bit stuffy. The pool is not as big as the photo makes it look. There is no restaurant so they gave us breakfast vouchers at a small restaurant next door. The food here was all right but repetitive over a few days. The hotel is within walking distance to some good restaurants so this was an advantage. I liked the quietness of the location.

I am currently staying at Palm Tree resort and will be departing tomorrow. I have been a guest here about 6/7 times since they opened and I have never failed to be impressed with the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff, the service and the food. I have also stayed at several other local hotels but always return to Palm Tree. The restaurant serves really good food and the Sunday traditional roast is first rate. The room I am in (203) has a comfortable king size bed, patio doors leading onto a patio that overlooks the small swimming and paddling pool below, and ice cold air con. Wi-Fi for the most part was good but occasionally was slow or would drop off. I did ask reception once if they could reboot their system, which they did and within about 5-minutes it was back on. The location is perfect, straight onto the beach at the rear and in the centre of the Barretto from the main exit. There is some building work being undertaken currently but this is at the front, near the main entrance and is almost complete (even the builders were very friendly, always a ”good morning” or ”hello” greeting). Overall a very enjoyable stay.

We really had fun for our day tour experience here in this place, all of the staff was accommodating and the day tour fee was reasonable. Rest assured will go back here again for us to stay away from the city (that is so busy) Fee was 500php and 300php consumable at the pool bar. It means you pay only 200php for their amenities and beach-front area. Thank you so much for the experience, see you soon 🤍☀️

The room was very comfortable and the service was great

On checking in for 3 days I paid for my room cash up front and was shown my room. A few hours later received a text to say the room I was given was more expensive and I could either pay the difference or leave. After an argument I opted to pay the diff. but despite all the credit card signs on the counter the receptionist could not accept my card as she did not know how to operate the machine. I could not connect to the internet and was told if I looked on my key tag the password was there. However they soon discovered they had put the wrong password on my key. That night I found the new bedside lamp did not work, nor could I open the safe which was locked. The website stated tea and coffee were provided in the room, there was none, it also mentioned a bed cover or duvet, yet my bed had a single thin sheet. the bar fridge had a list of drink prices taped to the door, but was empty. The glass window was smashed and the broken glass held together with sticky tape (Picture provided !) On leaving I was told I did not need to pay the difference on the room !!

The way I went to Benang by myself, so it was a bit complicated, but it's easy to get to the car. The exterior and facilities are old and old, but it is right next to the sea, so there is a advantage to go out to the beach at any time. When you come to family trips, children go to sand play and have a small pool. Food, water and drinks are not allowed to be brought from outside, so you should use the bar and restaurant in the resort. You have to walk about 100 meters to the 7-Eleven convenience store. Most meals are enjoyable between 300-400PESO and have a cocktail at night and have a good sea view. However, it is good to prepare because there are many bugs and mosquitoes

Basic but good
