Good service from one of the owners. Delicious food, their food can be compared to a large japanese resto in Manila. The place is cozy and has a chilling vibe.
Their kind of hotel and resort is highly recommended for couples and small groups. They also provide a clean and relaxing room.
We think there are some areas that need improvement, and one is the surrounding area for the Bar, it needs to have more Instagrammable view not to mention the tables and chairs are a bit old style for aesthetic look. The pool needs improvement and needs to be maintained when there are guests in the vicinity.
Overall I would rate their resort with a 4 star.
And a must place to visit. Thank you.
My family stayed for 3 days and 2 nights. We booked 3 rooms thru booking.com and it happened that the rooms were far from each other, we tried to change it but the whole resort is occupied. So when booking thru a different site, better check the bakasyunan map first before you reserve, unless it doesn't matter if your room is not close to each other. Anyways the resort isn't that big so the walking distance is not that far. The receptionist is not smiling and also when we asked for a room upgrade, they said they don't have any even before checking. Our room (girls room) is a nipa hut named Dinagyang with 4 queen size beds, separate toilet and bath, TV, fridge and terrace, big space which can accommodate 8 pax. Boys room is the executive room with toilet and bath, TV and 2 twin beds enough for 4 pax but since they are 5 we paid for additional mattress. The couples room (mahogany room) has one queen bed with toilet, bath and TV. We had some issues with our nipa room and unfortunately on our first night, I slipped in the shower. I immediately went to the receptionist and asked for the duty manager. Ms. Gloria came and I told her what happened, I also informed her about all the issues that we had with our rooms like sliding door very noisy, showerhead broken, fridge not working etc. She and the whole bakasyunan staff immediately solved the problem and I am very thankful to them. The ground staff helped us a lot specially Ashley, she was very helpful and she assisted us throughout our stay. On our first day since we arrived early we had our lunch in their restaurant. We had bangus, fried chicken, vegetables and sisig. They all tasted great I loved the bangus with garlic butter (yummy) for me the chicken is a bit dry, but there are some items in the menu that are not available, they should update their menu. We had our breakfast in their restaurant throughout our stay. You have to order the night before and inform them of the time in order for them to have ample time to prepare the food. They do ala carte menu for breakfast, but don't expect it to be five-star rate, and ask them first if they will be able to make it or not. I don't recommend the American breakfast it's just vienna sausage with eggs and toast, they do offer Filipino breakfast which is good. You can also buy fresh seafoods from the fishermen by the beach and have it grilled (we bought sugpo). We also bought dried fish (danggit) and had them cook it for breakfast and ordered garlic rice. You will pay corkage if you bring food from outside, but you have food options like ordering Jollibee and Shakeys. We had fun swimming in the pool and beach (black sand with high waves), but the whole place have games and selfie murals that you will also enjoy. Bakasyunan resort Zambales is nice but outdated. They need to upgrade their rooms and services to accommodate paying guests like us and not only for those who are staying one night or team building. They also need to plant Citronella around the p

Lovely place. Despite far from Manila, once here it worth the time. We will be here for 1 week. Place is super relaxing and quiet. They have their own garden, with lot of plants and trees, even a basketball court. Rooms are big and air-conditioned. If you want a relaxing place this may be perfect for you as well. Kitchen offers delicious foods, and prices are not that big. Internet works good. Beach seems really private as less resorts, so you'll have lot of space for yourself. Love the old style of furniture and buildings, feels like back in the free time when people use to be more happy. I would gladly came back for more, and stay here. No need to get any cozy super expensive membership in some places to enjoy private beach. Fishing can be done at the sea and according to the locals they catch bug size fish close to the beach. They also offer billiard table and ping- pong.

Staffs are really great! All of them were accommodating, helpful and friendly. This is a hidden paradise. The pool is beautiful and clean. The only downside when we came was the TV has no signal and no wifi connection in the rooms. But they are working on it, so we will definitely be coming back Worth it! Wonderful resort!

4.5/5
Excellent
GGuenterThe pub part of the offer was outstanding, Magners on tap, real British pub atmosphere, best calamares I had in decades. Nice seats watching out on the bay. Could not be sny better in England.
The rooms were rather soso, and I don’t mean the size or rudimentary furniture. There were small ants all over so I kept my suitcase closed. There was a loud fan in the room and a rattling a/c in the bathroom window. The shower fittings were adventurous and the water flow very low. And the rental requirements did not make me feel really welcome, read yourself to make your own opinion.
I had a quick dip in the water in the morning and left a day early.
In general, I would rather pay 10 bucks more and have a decent shower and a/c and no bugs in my room.
SStephen TAwesome place excellent staff 2nd time staying here love the breakfast, location is in the heart of all the good restaurants and walking distance to the malls love being by the water five star review by me and my partner can't wait to go back...
GGuest UserI my family and I rented three rooms here in December 2022. Two rooms with a king size bed and one room with two queen size beds. All rooms had spectacular views from their private balconies. The Wi-Fi connection was not strong in one of our rooms but the staff promptly moved us into a new room. We especially enjoyed how the hotel offers massages in the room. The beach was rocky but the view was unbeatable. The breakfast in the morning was great and cost friendly and the dinner in the evening was even more cost friendly and so tasty. We can’t wait to return here during our next trip to Subic!
CCai SalvadorWe had a pleasant stay at icove for 3 days 2 nights, but there were expectations not met. First, they have limited parking slots in the area. Though I was advised that they have another parking space. I'm just not sure where it is located. Second, the pool is very small. Third, they do not accept credit cards and/or gcash payments. And last but not the least, our room (210) was old. The tv is not smart and has limited channels, the key card is not working so we were given a key instead. There were mosquitos in the room, the drainage of the shower area is clogged (it drains very very slow). This resort needs to be updated and renovated. But all their staff are super super nice!!
Most likely the furthest away from all the beach resorts in the area, this property may not be in the heart of all the action, but it does provide the seclusion and privacy if that is more your speed. The property is a bit dated and at one point could have rivaled any exclusive resort in the area, and whoever originally designed it, had the right vision in mind. I think with a little investment, this property could once again shine like it’s beginning. The current staff are very friendly and accommodating. When they realize that we had elderly in our party that could not go up the second floor to our Executive Suite rooms, they suggested we stay in a first-floor villa at no additional charge. When we had to extend the next day due to unplanned events, they were more than accommodating. When we ordered food from the restaurant after arriving late afternoon, it was delivered to our villa including our order of ice-cold beer in a bucket of ice. When we requested an extra bed, since we had one additional person in our party, it was delivered without an issue. I think the concern that most reviewers had was probably that they were excepting more than what they paid for. Although we didn’t stay in the Executive Suite as originally planned, when I did a walkthrough, I would have been happy with room and maybe would have thought it as a bargain. I was satisfied staying in a villa instead because we were able to connect 2 rooms together, and it was accessible for our elderly guest. The real reason we stayed here is because we are avid hikers and wanted to hike Mount Balingkilat. See my review of Mount Balinkilat for more details. This property is closest to the trail head (15 minutes away) and I would consider it an ideal jump point. Unfortunately, I was not able to see or swim in the beach because of our long day hike, however upon arrival, I was able to swim in the large 6+ feet pool closest to the hotel which was clean and very refreshing! If you are looking for a 5-star property, then you should pay 5-star prices which you are not with this property. This property is a real bargain and value for what it currently has to offer, and I would be happy to stay here again in the future especially if I’m doing additional hikes in the area.
RRoving38655572324One of the worst stays I have ever experienced in a supposed resort. Firstly paid over ₱7000 for a room to fit 3 adults and a kid. The room was very tired, not very clean, tv did not work properly and very basic in amenities. Not worth with the price! The overall resort is very tired. It needs a major refurbishment. Paint is peeling, large cracks in the building, garden returning to jungle etc! Staff are not at all friendly or flexible. Arrrived with our family at 12pm after a long drive. Requested an early check in. Advised they are just cleaning the room now. I said that is great can you advise how long until will be ready. The reply you can not access it until 2pm at the earliest. Wow. Thanks. The free breakfast is average basic Filipino style breakfast food. It is a buffet format only 7am to 9am. Very limited hours for a supposed resort. Also requested if we could just take. plate to our room (literally a minute from where the food is served) to be told no not possible. The location is average. On a busy highway. Not sure where they get Waterfront for the name of the hotel as the only water close by is the run down pool with a run down bar. The bar has chairs that look like they have been recycled from a trash site. The bar staff did not know how to make basic cocktails and constantly referred to a 'menu' with the expected result being average overpriced drinks. The final and worst part of this once in a life experience was the check out process. We went to check out around 11.15am well before the noon requirement. After handing in the keys and and the deposit slip for the ₱1000 to be returned in full (we did not consume anything in the room) I just stood there for about 10 mins. I asked why the delay. Advised housekeeping was checking the room. Ok so I sat down. After another 20 mins chased them. Finally advised they would be keeping my deposit because of supposed stain on pillow case and sheet. We were invited to inspect the linen. First, the pillow case was like this whern we arrived! Second, the small dirt marks on the sheet were not stains at all and clearly would be cleaned in a standard wash.! After my wife argued the ridiculous of the accusation and the ridiculous of not getting a tiny bit of dirt out in a standard wash we were finally given our deposit in full. This I expect was a scam attempt to falsely pocket our deposit. The whole check out experience took over 45 mins and was embarrassing in that the false accusations were directed at us in front of other customers. If there is one resort/hotel to avoid this is it! If you are crazy enough to stay there now you now only have your self to blame!
JJun DealcaWe enjoyed the place, though we did not used all the pool and slides. We spent more time on kiddie pool and wave pools.my 2 yr old son enjoyed it. It needs some repairs for safety, like the railing on one slide is alredy gone. Kiddie pool is right beside the rampage pool, not a good setup parent must watch their small kids closely make sure they dont cross.
The beach is not suitable for swmming, there are some trashes, you wont notice it unless you swim, its best just for sports activities.
As for the room, its good except for the plumbing which did not work on our last day and also the chairs are already defective, need replacement or repair. But we got the good view of the pool and the subic bay.
The staff are friendly and always ready to assist.
GGuest UserI chose this place by the sea for work and relaxation. This is my second stay. I wanted to relax, but I can't sleep at all because of the music and strange voices from the bar next door. I should have requested a quiet room when I checked in. It was too noisy, so I asked to change the room to the opposite side, but it was refused as it was fully occupied. (It wasn't fully booked) If the next room to the guided room is a bar, I have no choice but to give up and put up with it. If the adjacency is the hotel side, it is quiet. Even if there is a vacancy, they will not deal with it. There is no need to spend money to stay in a hotel where you can't sleep, so there will be no next time. It's a shame because my first impression was good. The staff at the front desk was also disappointing. Meal is Filipino food, but coffee is bad. (Did you reheat yesterday's?)
DderektripsNew and improved rooms and restaurant. I always stay here. The staff is friendly and pleasant. The pool is secluded and relaxing. Only steps away from the beach. Lots of bars within walking distance. You can find local cuisine as well as American food nearby.
