Hotels near The Dove Monument (Kalapati), Zambales

It's very nice, the staff are very accommodating.

Awesome 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...

I 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!

We 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!!

On checking in for 3 days I paid for my room cash up front and was shown my room. A few hours later received a text to say the room I was given was more expensive and I could either pay the difference or leave. After an argument I opted to pay the diff. but despite all the credit card signs on the counter the receptionist could not accept my card as she did not know how to operate the machine. I could not connect to the internet and was told if I looked on my key tag the password was there. However they soon discovered they had put the wrong password on my key. That night I found the new bedside lamp did not work, nor could I open the safe which was locked. The website stated tea and coffee were provided in the room, there was none, it also mentioned a bed cover or duvet, yet my bed had a single thin sheet. the bar fridge had a list of drink prices taped to the door, but was empty. The glass window was smashed and the broken glass held together with sticky tape (Picture provided !) On leaving I was told I did not need to pay the difference on the room !!

What I like about this hotel is, though its not new, it is clean, well maintained and staff are all pleasant. Food prices are reasonable too for a beachfront hotel. It has an ATM machine in the lobby so its very convenient for guests in case you’ll run out of cash.

One 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!

The price on trip.com is expensive compare to booking directly on the hotel.

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.
