Best Hotels near Jack＇s Playground, Balanga

Was expecting it to have poor service, but no. Complete room amenities you can even ask for iron for your cloths without charge and hey the staffs are all friendly! The room is big also wasn’t expecting that. The beds are great. Very comfortable! Breakfast is not buffet but the food is also good.

Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar is a picture perfect place until you have to live in it. Our family (6 adults + 2 children) stayed here overnight. The only means to reach your hotel room is through a jeepney / coaster ride. We were checked in before 3pm, but was only able to enter our room at 4pm. The closest food vendor was already closed even though its advertised operating hours is up to 6pm. We had to wait for 2 more hours before another restaurant opened. The beach is about a minute walk from your hotel room which was fantastic. However, all restaurants, vendors are a 10 minute walk from the hotel room. Imagine a 10 minute walk under a scorching summer sun. You could take a jeep to the town square, that is if you're lucky enough to catch one. The facility is broken down into multiple areas. This is both a feature & a limitation. If you like long walks and beautiful views, this is perfect. If you're travelling with a disabled person or with small children, this is a challenge. There was an easter egg hunt the following morning, and plenty of walking and jeepney tours to be had. The place is even more beautiful at night, with all the lights and festivities. Come the end of our stay, we checked out around 12nn. However we were picked up by a jeep roughly around 1pm. The checkout process was relatively easy, but again , it was our trip back to the front of the resort / parking area that took a while. Overall it was a pleasant vacation. The resort crew were very nice and helpful. I would recommend others visit the place and enjoy a day trip instead.

Less than 3hr drive from makati, La Jolla is an excellent beach getaway destination. Rooms are clean and comfortable- premium rooms have sea views while deluxe rooms face the garden/interior road. There are 2 pools- one infinity pool at the beach and one kids pool/small lagoon pool up by the main lobby and playground. The beach is the main attraction- soft white grey sand, very few small rocks. Shallow drop similar to boracay makes it very family friendly. Nice trees provide shade near the sunbeds. Food- main restaurant has the breakfast buffet, while the beach restaurant serves lunch & dinner. The menu is limited, but portions are generous for the price and food was quite good. Pepperoni Pizza was good, and the chicken inasal & pinakbet with lechon kawali were delicious. The hamburger was the only item that we didn’t like the taste of. We had to preorder in advance since some menu items were not available and the service would take time. Staff are very friendly, but we did need to remind them almost daily to clean our room. WiFi is available and globe signal is significantly weaker than smart. Rooms have cignal tv. Special mention to Joyce, mark and the rest of the f&b crew for tirelessly serving the guests during the Christmas break! We will definitely go back soon.

It’s our first time to go to this place and it’s quite far from commercial establishments so you have to have all of your needs before going there. You can feel the exclusivity of the resort since they have their own road going there in the midst of the jungle forest. Lobby was not that stunning as it looks like a receiving area. Parking is big so it’s not a problem. The room is spacious and big but it’s not what I expected. Furnitures are a little bit outdated and lots of scratches from previous guests. Everything in the room is just basic for a premium resort. We rented two rooms at the ground floor so we have an easy access to the pool and the beach. The pool is great. Water temperature was just right (not cold nor warm) with a great view especially during sunset. The beach is not that nice because you have to pass on a gate and no beach sand area. The staffs are very helpful and polite. Food is a little bit expensive but taste good for us. Buffet breakfast was also satisfying but not something to rave about. If you love nature, this place is for you as there are birds flying around the area during afternoons and monkeys are roaming around at the back of the vicinity. They have several amenities like beach volleyball, playground, basketball and kayaking. My overall experience is just very good but not excellent because I expect too much about this place. Maybe I’ll go back only if they will lower their rates.

I stayed with my family early before Christmas and during week end,since our first time to stay in these hotel i expect a busy day and occupied staff but thankful that it went smooth Fcility: Spacious,carpeted clean rooms,floor to ceiling windows (but no view)black out curtains,comfortable soft beds,large sensored bathroom with a bath tub,room amenities,touch screen lights and ac controller and so on. Those kids play area and a toys is a plus. Service: Firstly i wanted to make a credit to the staff that caters for us during our stay,from the lady with short hair on the front desk,Mr Dennis of HK,Jemar of FnB and for the countless staff that never waivered of giving those extra mile and smile of service. From check-in which they gave us the room much earlier and the seamless check-out. My hat is off for you guys who are willing to go beyond and above of your standard service. For the HK team that was quick to bring us our request,security whose always ready to assist and FnB that making sure you have the comfortable spot and moment on the rstaurant. My only concern is that the area sorrounding the pool at the roofdeck besides those who are no covered with the blue rubber mats are so inviting for a major accident as what happened on my son,those floor tiles that you used is so slippery that even me on my dry shoes is having diffiiculty navigating, As long as you dont replace it you be always prone to accidents no matter how all those lifeguards makes their best to remind patrons and prevent the situation. Overall its a great and memorable stay specially with my kids who is raring to comeback.

Resort was still on development. Trevi type fountain still to open by 3rd quarter. Mini villas with own plunge pool still to be opened by the 4th quarter. For an expensive suite , the bathroom was quite small , doesn’t even have a bathtub. But the internet Tv , cool AC and terrace was a nice touch. Breakfast buffet quite simple for that “luxury “ tag. But the service was just fascinating. Their butlers do extreme service , such as Michael who went out of his way to look for available accommodation for my driver. And Vince who not only did a property tour for us but also showed his splendid photography skills by doing great photos. Being welcomed by GM Frencine and FD officer Faye was also factors making it a memorable experience. Will come back in the near future to try their ultra expensive villas which has a private pool , koi fish pond and of course Alexa the voice control machinery.

A funtastic location and very luxurious place at reasonable price. Located on beach inside Subic Bay Freeport. Has swimming pool. A sailing and boating connection. Really friendly people and staff. Close to live music venues. Close by is Network, a business with many water activities. Short distance to an ocean adventure park, tiger safari park or zoo like park. A few good malls a short walk. Many restaurants close walk. Texas Joe. My favorite.

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.
