필리핀 센트럴 루존 소재 2성급 호텔

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.

2nd time here. We checked in on Sunday, April 27, almost 2pm. Around 1:50ish. I went to the front desk. But the two women there didn’t attend to me right away because they were busy with something. That took around probably 3-5 minutes. Then a guy outside the front desk area asked me if I was checking in. I said yes, (obviously) that’s why I was there. He told me to just wait and that they’d call me.  We had a lot of stuff with us since we came all the way from Taguig and DRT. My partner told me to mention that we already had a reservation. So after a few minutes, I approached again. The girl said, “Ay, meron na po pala kayong reservation, ma’am,” and then she took my name. Shouldn’t she have asked me that from the start? Instead of just assuming I was a walk-in and ignoring me at first. It felt like I was the one who should be shy to talk to them because they seemed so busy.  Anyway, fast forward, the key card was sorted and we were heading up. But here’s the worst part: From the elevator all the way to the hallway on the 3rd floor, it reeked of cigarette smoke. The smell was so strong and nauseating. 😣  The room itself was fine. Premium room. Had a TV, the aircon was okay, and there were toiletries. I just wish the front desk staff would be more proactive in asking guests, and I really hope they can make the elevator smell better, no cigarette odor, because it’s really dizzying, especially for nonsmokers. It felt awful.

Place is very accessible. Rooms are clean and very quiet. There are nearby fastfood and restaurants in the area.

직원들은 정말 친절했고 우리를 너무 도왔습니다. 방은 깨끗했고 욕실은 꽤 컸습니다. 위치는 해변에서 조금 떨어져 있지만 호텔 바로 앞에서 시도주기를 찾을 수 있습니다. 가격은 당신이 얻는 것에 합리적입니다.

There is no view on the rooms given to us considering the rate we paid. Bathroom needs improvement, beddings need to be disinfected.

가격 대비 만족스러웠습니다. 룸서비스 음식은 저렴했고, 할인된 가격으로 제공되는 객실 마사지도 훌륭했습니다. 시설에 문제가 좀 있었지만 고객센터에 문의하니 바로 다른 방으로 옮겨주었습니다. 숙박 측면에서는 가격 대비 만족합니다.

이 호텔은 장거리 버스 여행 중 잠시 쉬어가기에 아주 훌륭했습니다. 모든 직원들이 매우 친절하고 도움이 많이 되었습니다. 룸서비스로 음식을 주문했는데, 빠르고 좋았습니다. 객실은 깨끗하고 편안했으며, 따뜻한 물이 나오는 샤워 시설도 마음에 들었습니다. 위치를 별 4개로 평가한 이유는 타를락 자체에는 할 만한 것이 많지 않기 때문입니다. 하지만 다양한 음식점과 카페가 있는 멋진 쇼핑몰까지 걸어서 2분 거리입니다. 가격 대비 만족도가 높아서 다음에 타를락에 갈 때 이 호텔을 다시 이용할 의향이 있으며, 다른 소고 호텔도 마찬가지입니다.
