Olongapo Hostels

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!

The location of the hotel is very good, opposite the beach, the big logo of the landmark SUBIC BAY is diagonally opposite. The hotel’s air-conditioning is great, and the noise is not too loud. There are lawns and deck chairs in the Lang Yard. When the weather is good, you can lie down and sunbathe. The hotel has a bar. The breakfast at the hotel is simple but of high quality. It is a pity that there is no fruit supply.

The place over all is good, staff are amazing.. the place can use new sheets and towels.. but over all is good. Location not directly on the beach, although some new section is under renovation and will have direct beach view

The pictures of their rooms are not the reality. Ask them to send updated room photos before booking. The room they put us in we refused to stay as it had moldy sealing, smelly cabinets, broken and smelly fridge, rusted and dusty fan, windowless room, and mosquitoes buzzing around. This is suppose to be their “deluxe” room. The front desk eventually agreed to put us in a different room which was an improvement. The staff unfortunately all seem rather depressed. No smiles, no welcoming greetings. The bar area at night is completely dead, no music, no atmosphere, and at 9pm everyone starts packing up, sweeping and cleaning which we took as a sign that we should leave.

In principle the 4**** is too much, realistically 2.5* is appropriate. Check in went smoothly, the room was clean, large and practical. Unfortunately, the room pictured online was the suite, hence the disappointment about the lack of a sea view. In addition, there is no breakfast directly in the hotel, this information is also withheld online, you are referred to 2 neighboring restaurants that ONLY offer local, mostly lukewarm to cold, breakfast. If you use the local buffet instead of the selection, this also costs extra 😡 The hotel is busy and very noisy, with parties at the pool or in the rooms lasting well into the early hours of the morning. There was no evidence of management intervention. For guests like us who want to relax, this hotel is unsuitable with the constant nightly celebrations of short-term vacationers or conference participants, especially since the first guests leave for breakfast at 6:30 a.m. and you are then involuntarily woken up again. I would have imagined the 7-day stay differently. Repetition factor is very low or not at all😰

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.

A nice boutipue hotel small but smelly!! After big dissappointing before this place we had a high expetation! But been quick panelized again! The room a very small, and with almost 3500 per night overprized! No kettle, no ref, no hot water, very bad internet, and a very welcome early in the morning staff by 6am which was very noisy! After 7pm was the mysic switch on, noisy continue! At the terraze you getting anoid from local vendors over lobster, fish, pasalubongs and more things you does not need! At the end i had enough! Noise level fare to high! We paid for 4 nights after 1 night we get informed we will not receive anything back!!! Very unprofessionel handling of complains Pool water is green many tiles are damaged and wood is rotten

Once again without fail, MANGROVE impressed with their levels of service & quality of the establishment, staff , food & drinks. To date after traveling 15 years to the Philippines the Long Island Iced Tea is unbeatable. The restaurant staff seemed to remember my preferences at all times. At times the resort was packed but the staff managed a very large party very well. Lea at reception never fails to impress with her memory and she is always good at handling special request. A request for me to supply my own seafoods for the chef to cook was handled well & cooked as requested . check-in & check-out was seamless.
