Hotels near Oryoko Maru FWD 3 Gun Memorial, Zambales

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.

Location very accessible to everything Super friendly and accommodating staffs. Cable TV and internet are moody. Sometimes smooth, sometimes no signal. There is hot and cold shower, but there were rooms that the hot shower is not working, or needs time to heat again. Collects garbage if you put it outside your door.

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!

Our stay at Mangrove Resort in Baloy Beach was a complete letdown, and I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. First off, their website is a total rip-off. It says that kids above 7 years old are charged as adults, but they still insisted on charging for our 1-year-old and 5-year-old kids at check-in. It's a total scam, and I felt like I'd been taken for a ride. The staff at Mangrove Resort are useless, to put it mildly. When I asked to speak with the manager, the receptionist was no help at all and wouldn't even listen to my complaints. It's like they don't give a crap about their guests and just want to take your money and run. To top it all off, when I asked for a refund for the room I'd already paid for, they refused to give me my money back and made me upgrade instead. The upgraded room wasn't even worth it - there were light bulbs that didn't work, and the cable TV was messed up. Overall, my experience at Mangrove Resort was a total bust. Between their shady website, their useless staff, and their subpar accommodations, there's really no reason to stay here. Don't waste your money - go somewhere else!

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 !

One of the worst stays I have ever experienced in a supposed resort. Firstly paid over ₱7000 for a room to fit 3 adults and a kid. The room was very tired, not very clean, tv did not work properly and very basic in amenities. Not worth with the price! The overall resort is very tired. It needs a major refurbishment. Paint is peeling, large cracks in the building, garden returning to jungle etc! Staff are not at all friendly or flexible. Arrrived with our family at 12pm after a long drive. Requested an early check in. Advised they are just cleaning the room now. I said that is great can you advise how long until will be ready. The reply you can not access it until 2pm at the earliest. Wow. Thanks. The free breakfast is average basic Filipino style breakfast food. It is a buffet format only 7am to 9am. Very limited hours for a supposed resort. Also requested if we could just take. plate to our room (literally a minute from where the food is served) to be told no not possible. The location is average. On a busy highway. Not sure where they get Waterfront for the name of the hotel as the only water close by is the run down pool with a run down bar. The bar has chairs that look like they have been recycled from a trash site. The bar staff did not know how to make basic cocktails and constantly referred to a 'menu' with the expected result being average overpriced drinks. The final and worst part of this once in a life experience was the check out process. We went to check out around 11.15am well before the noon requirement. After handing in the keys and and the deposit slip for the ₱1000 to be returned in full (we did not consume anything in the room) I just stood there for about 10 mins. I asked why the delay. Advised housekeeping was checking the room. Ok so I sat down. After another 20 mins chased them. Finally advised they would be keeping my deposit because of supposed stain on pillow case and sheet. We were invited to inspect the linen. First, the pillow case was like this whern we arrived! Second, the small dirt marks on the sheet were not stains at all and clearly would be cleaned in a standard wash.! After my wife argued the ridiculous of the accusation and the ridiculous of not getting a tiny bit of dirt out in a standard wash we were finally given our deposit in full. This I expect was a scam attempt to falsely pocket our deposit. The whole check out experience took over 45 mins and was embarrassing in that the false accusations were directed at us in front of other customers. If there is one resort/hotel to avoid this is it! If you are crazy enough to stay there now you now only have your self to blame!

We enjoyed the place, though we did not used all the pool and slides. We spent more time on kiddie pool and wave pools.my 2 yr old son enjoyed it. It needs some repairs for safety, like the railing on one slide is alredy gone. Kiddie pool is right beside the rampage pool, not a good setup parent must watch their small kids closely make sure they dont cross. The beach is not suitable for swmming, there are some trashes, you wont notice it unless you swim, its best just for sports activities. As for the room, its good except for the plumbing which did not work on our last day and also the chairs are already defective, need replacement or repair. But we got the good view of the pool and the subic bay. The staff are friendly and always ready to assist.

Worth it ang stay namin nang boyfriend ko for 3 days dito sa Megans! Sobrang nag enjoy kami. Friendly ang mga staff.

My family stayed for 3 days and 2 nights. We booked 3 rooms thru booking.com and it happened that the rooms were far from each other, we tried to change it but the whole resort is occupied. So when booking thru a different site, better check the bakasyunan map first before you reserve, unless it doesn't matter if your room is not close to each other. Anyways the resort isn't that big so the walking distance is not that far. The receptionist is not smiling and also when we asked for a room upgrade, they said they don't have any even before checking. Our room (girls room) is a nipa hut named Dinagyang with 4 queen size beds, separate toilet and bath, TV, fridge and terrace, big space which can accommodate 8 pax. Boys room is the executive room with toilet and bath, TV and 2 twin beds enough for 4 pax but since they are 5 we paid for additional mattress. The couples room (mahogany room) has one queen bed with toilet, bath and TV. We had some issues with our nipa room and unfortunately on our first night, I slipped in the shower. I immediately went to the receptionist and asked for the duty manager. Ms. Gloria came and I told her what happened, I also informed her about all the issues that we had with our rooms like sliding door very noisy, showerhead broken, fridge not working etc. She and the whole bakasyunan staff immediately solved the problem and I am very thankful to them. The ground staff helped us a lot specially Ashley, she was very helpful and she assisted us throughout our stay. On our first day since we arrived early we had our lunch in their restaurant. We had bangus, fried chicken, vegetables and sisig. They all tasted great I loved the bangus with garlic butter (yummy) for me the chicken is a bit dry, but there are some items in the menu that are not available, they should update their menu. We had our breakfast in their restaurant throughout our stay. You have to order the night before and inform them of the time in order for them to have ample time to prepare the food. They do ala carte menu for breakfast, but don't expect it to be five-star rate, and ask them first if they will be able to make it or not. I don't recommend the American breakfast it's just vienna sausage with eggs and toast, they do offer Filipino breakfast which is good. You can also buy fresh seafoods from the fishermen by the beach and have it grilled (we bought sugpo). We also bought dried fish (danggit) and had them cook it for breakfast and ordered garlic rice. You will pay corkage if you bring food from outside, but you have food options like ordering Jollibee and Shakeys. We had fun swimming in the pool and beach (black sand with high waves), but the whole place have games and selfie murals that you will also enjoy. Bakasyunan resort Zambales is nice but outdated. They need to upgrade their rooms and services to accommodate paying guests like us and not only for those who are staying one night or team building. They also need to plant Citronella around the p

Staffs are really great! All of them were accommodating, helpful and friendly. This is a hidden paradise. The pool is beautiful and clean. The only downside when we came was the TV has no signal and no wifi connection in the rooms. But they are working on it, so we will definitely be coming back Worth it! Wonderful resort!
