IINFINIVAN, INC.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.
JJames Doblekay, here's my take on Mango's Beachfront Resort in Olongapo, based on what I've seen:
If you're heading to Olongapo, especially for diving, Mango's Beachfront Resort has some definite pros. The location is right on the beach, which is a big plus, and the staff are consistently praised for being super friendly and helpful. The restaurant has good food, and you can enjoy it with a view of the ocean. They've also got a dive center right there, which is really convenient if you're planning on doing some underwater exploring.
However, be aware that the rooms can be hit-or-miss. Some of the standard rooms seem to be quite outdated and a bit rough around the edges – think things like mold and noisy AC. If you can, it's worth upgrading to a superior or king room, as those seem to be much better. Also, while it's a beachfront resort, the beach itself isn't necessarily the best for swimming. And just a heads up, there's no pool on the property.
So, to sum it up: Mango's is a good choice if you prioritize location and friendly service, especially if you're a diver. But, be sure to choose your room carefully, and don't expect a pristine beach for swimming.
리리뷰어플러스 + - 예약하기 전에 호흡기의 소녀들이 방을 보여달라고 요청했고 방을 보여 주었고 방을 예약했습니다.
+-맛있는 아침 식사이지만 사이트는 아침 식사 장소에 갈 수 있다고 말했고 호흡기는 아침 식사 만 말했다.
+ 좋은 노동자, 여러 번 수익을 냈고, 금고 사용 방법을 보여주고, 방에 열쇠를 잊어 버리고, 나에게 열었습니다.
마이너스 - 수영장이 청소되지 않은 것 같습니다. 수영하는 많은 곤충이 있고 수영하고 싶었고 결코 결정하지 않았습니다.
직원 트릭 - 문에서 카드를 반환하지 않았다는 것을 상기 시켰지만 5 시간 만에 왔을 때 2000 페소에 보증을 잊어 버린 사실에 대해 아무 말도하지 않았습니다. 내 돈은 다른 곳으로 옮겨졌습니다. 호텔 택시는 외국인 500페소
리리뷰어The Suzuki hotel is ideally located with direct beach access. The staff are friendly and attentive.
Breakfast was very good. Executive rooms spacious with water views
Only negative is the hotel has functions with large attendance with karaoke and music that is VERY loud, so loud the noise resonated through the room until 1am weeknights.
