THE BEST WESTERN PLUS SUBIC HOTEL EXPERIENCE

It was early this year when I got the chance to experience the grandeur staycation in this hotel.

What’s more exciting is that I got to meet some people that I now consider friends. Before I start telling you all about my memorable experience, I just want to take the time to appreciate the then-Sales and Marketing Manager of Best Western Plus Subic, Ms. Alona.

With Ms. Alona at the hotel’s Sky Oasis Pool

The first time I got to talk to her is through a phone conversation, asking for a meeting for my past work. At first, I am quite nervous but after I heard her happy and sincere voice, I know right then and there that this Manager is very likeable! Thank you, Ms. Alona! I love you! (Yes, I love her this much!)

THE WARM WELCOME

After I checked out from one of my favorite hotels, The Reef Hotel and Residences Subic, Ms. Alona, together with the cheerful and lovely Reservations Team (big shoutout to the beautiful Ms. Hershey!), welcomed me with all smiles!

I can still remember how warm the welcome is.

THE DELUXE KING PLUS

After the smooth 5 minutes check in, I quickly went to my room and the posh Deluxe King Plus surprised me! Deluxe King Plus boasts elegance in a different level. This spacious room with inviting bathtub, King size bed with thick white comforter (I wanna go back!), and glass showcasing bathrooms will make you want to stay inside the room the whole day!

Who wants to go out when everything you need for a relaxing day are all here? Huhu.

SKY OASIS POOL

..and my most favorite part of the hotel, Sky Oasis Pool!

I love it here! Overlooking Zambales mountains!

You have to try this at night because the lights are A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!

3. Restaurants and Bars

There are actually quite a number of great restaurants and bars in the area.

They are just about everywhere! However, based from experience, the prices are higher inside SBFZ. Some restaurants that I tried are Aristocrat near Harbor Point, Kusina ni Gerrys inside Harbor Point, Piesta sa Barrio near the port, Bayfront Hotel’s Restaurant (you should try their steak! The best!), and Spencer Fusion Bar and Resto.

We also tried a Koren restaurant near Best Western Subic. Yummy!

At the back of the hotel, overlooking Subic’s port. Love it!

This ever-growing and potential hotel and residences in Subic Bay Freeport Zone has a number of room types with a total of 32 rooms suited for the diverse need of its guests, may it be for business or leisure.

The Reef Hotel and Residences Experience

The Lounge

Last February 2016, I was privileged to be one of the first guests who tried the newest hotel in town.

Even though the hotel was not that finished yet at that time, everything was lovely already. Once you stepped in the hotel, the tranquil vibe brought by this Santorini-inspired hotel will welcome you.

I also love that the reception area has a number of rattan made furniture which have been my instant favorite!

If you happen to stay in this hotel, never miss out checking their lounge because everything is instagram-worthy! The hotel’s open extended lounge as well has a way to the port which is really cool!

Being a beach baby, I love that this hotel is really close to this clean port, giving me the feeling of being in the sea with the reefs and waves as their decoration peg. I also love their color which is white and turquoise blue which adds to the cold and relaxing aura of the hotel.

Hotel Employees

Personally, the thing I always check in any of my hotel stay is how courteous the employees are.

Are they smiling at you?
Saying good morning?
Bidding goodbye?
Are they asking how you’re sleep was?

Something that The Reef Hotel and Residences do! Their pretty and handsome hotel receptionists are all with gentle smiles which I believe adds to the guests overall happy experience.

Of course, I would like to commend Mr. Jayee Ritumalta, the Operations Manager of the hotel for being one of the most courteous, hospitable, and hands-on managers I’ve ever met.

He gladly assisted me in all of my queries and even exerted efforts an Operations Manager wouldn’t normally do — like assisting me with my bags since the bell boys were helping other guests that time.

And as a guest, this is one great way to feel really valued.

I also forgot something in my room that night but they contacted me and even brought the things I left to Best Western Hotel Subic which was my hotel on my second night in Subic!

Couldn’t help but smile and give thanks! Kudos to Team The Reef Hotel and Residences!

I am so happy and blessed that the Managers of The Reef Hotel and Best Western Subic are now my friends. Lovely people indeed!

Hotel Rooms

The Reef Hotel has different room types suited for the needs and wants of every guest. What I love the most of their hotel rooms is it offers superior modern accommodation fully equipped with premium room amenities, free fiber-optic wifi for speedy connection, cozy bed and soft linens, and I so love their pillows too!

Also, every room has its own balcony giving you the option to choose rooms with Sea or Park view. During my staycation, although I love the calm sea, I chose the park view which is peaceful and relaxing – the green surrounding is just soothing to the eyes.

The Pirates Bistro

The last time I stayed here at The Reef Hotel and Residences, the Pirate Bistro was still under construction but I was already informed that the name of their restaurant is Pirates Bistro.
