Hôtels 2 étoiles à Luçon centrale, Philippines

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.

It was nice. They took a while for us to provide us our room. Their water tastes off and their halo-halo as well. I just had 3 spoons of it but wasn’t able to finish it. Their other foods are okay.

We extended our stay, so we kept the same room and the same issue. The water drains slowly in the sink, and sometimes it gets clogged. On the second day, we ordered food. According to their menu: Sinigang – 285 Half chicken – 300 Rice – 40 × 2 = 80 Coffee – 50 × 2 = 100 The total should have been 805, but we were charged 840. I only noticed it late and couldn’t get the change anymore. I find this misleading since the prices don’t match what’s on the menu.

La chambre est très accessible. Les chambres sont propres et très calmes. Il y a à proximité des repas rapides et des restaurants dans la zone.

Le personnel était très aimable et nous a aidé si beaucoup. La chambre était propre et la salle de bain était assez grande. La situation est un peu loin de la plage mais vous pouvez trouver des cycles d'essai juste devant l'hôtel. Le prix est raisonnable pour ce que vous obtenez.

“Great location, accommodating staff, and convenient access to Subic’s attractions. Not perfect, but overall a comfortable stay and good value for money. Will definitely consider staying here again.”

L'entrée était facile. Les membres du personnel étaient polis. Tout était bon sauf quand j'essayais de connecter à Internet. Je suis un client ordinaire pour le mot de passe WiFi est déjà enregistré. Cependant, cette fois j'ai eu une erreur. J'ai appelé la réception qu'ils m'ont connecté à un autre Internet, mais le résultat est le même. J'ai vraiment besoin de l'internet à des fins de travail. Je vous donne le numéro dans la chambre. Internet a été fixé dans 30 minutes. Mais pendant mon séjour de 24 heures. Je reçois toujours l'erreur occasionnelle. Le séjour global aurait pu être parfait si ce n'était pas pour la question de l'Internet. J'ai aussi découvert que d'autres personnes se plaignaient de cela. C'est une sorte de personnel qui leur dit que la connexion n'est pas disponible à l'intérieur de la chambre

Bon service et depuis notre arrivée tôt ils nous permettent de vérifier tôt sans frais supplémentaires

It is what it is. You kind of know what the area is like when there are 2 ”massage parlors” across the street and tons in the area, and the facility has surcharges for bringing in an ”outside masseuse.” The room was large and reasonably clean. The towels were fraying, and the ”white” sheets were gray. The room refrigerator was bigger than average. There was a small table and chairs in the room - you could eat or do work there. The air conditioner worked just fine. The place is located above a 24 grocery store. This is convenient, nice, and adds a layer of security. We had some issues sleeping for 3 reasons: 1. Pillows were high and rock hard. My wife and I each got stiff necks. 2. There were some inebriated individuals who had a very loud argument @ 3 am. 3. Worst of all, there was a rooster fairly close to our room. Like most roosters, every time he saw a car with its lights on, he went crazy. This happened all night long. Pictures are from inside the building and will give you a feeling for the area.
