Subic Bay Hotels with Gym

At long last, we have stayed here for my birthday celebration with my family. From check in, the front desk staff asked us to wait until 2pm since they said that’s the standard time. We waited downstairs because there are no seats at the lobby. Nobody approached us at 2pm so i reminded them that we are waiting. I noticed that front staff people were lack of training. They don’t smile that much and not welcoming. Elevator platform at the 4th floor is not even so a lot of guests got stumbled and its dangerous because there are no warning sign. Our room is great. Cozy, clean and spacious. The veranda is boring. No tables and chairs and towel rack for wet clothes. What i like most is the bathroom! Very spacious and neat as well. I love the jacuzzi that can fit up to two people. The only problem is the bathroom door. Its very old and need to be updated. You can peak from the outside so there’s no privacy for people using the toilet. Room amenities has coffemaker, and safebox. Television channels are a little bit blurry. When I requested for a pitcher of water, i have to follow up for 4 times. Swimming pool is huge and nice. The slide for kids is not slippery so its a waste of time using that. I love the sand and the pool which you can feel like youre in a beach. The problem that time was they have an event so there were no beachbeds set up that time and there’s no staff assisting guests who’s gonna swim. I have to look for people to ask for a towel. The buffet breakfast has a lot of choices. We enjoyed the food especially the kids. The view of the yachts are instagrammable. What I noticed from the first time i set my foot on the resort are the staffs. They should be train how to properly do their job. Some they do but mostly not. For a room that is so expensive, the expectation is very high and i never meet those expectation. The place is very promising but the downside is the service.

As the title suggests, it has to be the no 1 worst hotel I have ever stayed in! The rooms are rough around the edges, and showing it's age, there was a hole in the roof in the bathroom, the bath looked dirty, there were stains over the carpet and the whole place had an unclean feel about it. The corridor was full of kids riding bikes up and down and making a lot of noise, not what you need after you had spent 26 hours travelling! The food for breakfast was just disgusting, there is no proper coffee machine or milk for that matter so you have to use the sachets of creamer, you take one sip and head for Starbucks around the front of the building! Just avoid!

I was on the 2nd floor overlooking the road, but it wasn't noisy. Other colleagues were put in one room on the 3rd floor and the others on the 4th floor, no idea why they didn't put us close as it was definitely not busy, but maybe because they had reserved twin rooms and the first shown were mistakenly both doubles. My room was small but clean, a squeeze to get into the shower which also takes some thinking about on how to operate it. There was no wardrobe and just two hangers on the back of the door. There was one broken power outlet by the bed so recharging was done by unplugging the tv, which did not matter as there no watchable channels due to no signal. There is a kettle and two cups but no coffee or anything at all. Breakfast was abysmal, small and you have to pay cash for an second coffee. The only plus I can think of is that you can sit outside with a beer and overlook the water, even that though meant you had three bands/singers competing with each the hotels own plus either side too. There must be better places so I can't recommend it at all. Oh, and the internet is non existent!

Service was great from the front desk to the Bar and the rest of the staff. The attendant from the rooftop pool was very helpful and was great helping us with dinner at the pool. The bar was amazing and the staff behind the bar provided hospitality at its finest. Going above and beyond making my drinks and providing recommendations where to go around in the local area. Big shouts to Julia and Yancy. Overall the staff here is top tier and I’ll be coming back because of that!
