Vista Marina Hotel and Resort arvostelua

Never a hotel charges an extra when you ask for a blanket and sheet but this one. Only provided us with 1 room card and don’t have any extra.  The hotel is located close to the event that we need to be, that’s why we agreed to switch it this one when Trip.com failed to confirm our original booking with another hotel. Not recommended to others at all.

Ok hotel to stay if you have no where to go

還可以性價比不錯

太舊了，不過價格不貴

Property needs updating. Corridor carpets needs cleaning musty smell. Restaurant needs cleaning. Restaurant staff were not ready to serve at 6am needed to request for service.

This property was probably good in its day but is now very dated. Not helped by being poorly maintained and dirty. Young staff try but it really needs a good manager who can direct the available resources to tidy the place up and provide something like good customer service. It is a 3 star hotel at best and the service is 2 star. It has a vermin problem as well. Our party saw two mice/small rats in the bedrooms. Breakfasts at weekends are an unimaginative smmall buffet. During the week ig is selection from a small menu. Meaming that a an adult gets the same size breakfast as a small child. Go somewhere else as this place will disappoint you.

It seems we got a better room compared to other guests who had a bad experience at this hotel. We booked a weekend stay with breakfast at a reasonable price through Agoda. We chose a non-pool-view room with a balcony. The hotel has outdoor parking, which felt safe. There’s no elevator, but our room was just on the second floor. The bed sheets, towels, and room were all clean. The hotel is ageing, which is especially noticeable in the bathroom, but they make up for it with generous toiletries. The hot water system worked perfectly—we love hot showers and never had any issues. The internet was impressively reliable at over 100 Mbps, which was great for us since we work remotely and need fast internet. The minibar was also a plus, offering items at reasonable prices. We didn’t get the chance to eat at the restaurant or have breakfast, and we also missed out on using the swimming pool. We woke up late, and by the time we were ready, the sun was already too bright and hot. Compared to other reviews, I’d say we were lucky to get a good room (209). Yes, the hotel is ageing, but the price we paid reflected that. However, they should check their door locks—the doorknob on our room was slightly wobbly and felt unreliable. Overall, this was a good choice, especially considering its convenient location near everything in the Freeport area.

When we entered the room it obviously hadn't been cleaned - there was dust and hair on the floor, something small and brown on the floor by the fridge, the fridge was leaking, and there were hairs in the bed. We asked housekeeping (who were still on the floor) to come and clean. We asked them to be truthful and tell us if the room had been cleaned - they replied it hadn't and the bed linen hadn't been changed. The room itself was a good size but was old and probably hadn't been decorated since the hotel was built. The safe didn't work (we couldn't be bothered to tell reception). The bathroom was old and tatty, and like the rest of the room hadn't been cleaned. The towel had a brown stain, dried blood maybe. The hotel has no elevator. The corridors were very dirty. Housekeeping said they don't have a vacuum cleaner, just a brush and mop. The hotel windows hadn't been cleaned for ages. The restaurant was a reasonable size but the cold drinks dispenser had bits of black stuff floating in it and was dirty as well. The staff said this came from the dispenser tap. It obviously wasn't cleaned daily. We had another room for our family and that was just as dirty plus they had cockroaches and the kettle wasn't working. We'd asked for an additional bed when we booked but this hadn't been provided until we asked.

Towards the end of our Ilocos Norte tour we made a last stop at Subic and stayed at the Vista Marina Resort Hotel. This is not a place you’d want to stay at, even for its price. The online photos are not accurate, do not be deceived as I was. This is a picture of the door chain supposedly for additional security.

Very dated and lacking maintenance. Breakfast offering very limited and opening time fluctuated. Not a pleasent area to stay. Beach filfy. Very noisey till midnight with all the nearby outside entertainment.

Pros and cons.. Pros= Quiet, safe, walking distance to endless food options. Including a large mall.. spacious room with balcony.. Cons: 3 floors no elevator. Entire property needs to be renovated. To be fair, tourist foot traffic is way down.. Obviously revenue is needed for upgrades.. Hopefully that will happen for this resort..

We wanted to spend 2 nights for Christmas at the hotel. When entering the room on Dec. 24 I found the customer feedback survey of previous guests, dated Dec. 6. It had only one comment: too many cockroaches. And I can confirm that. The bathroom is full of mold, especially the shower head. We were disgusted to shower there. The bed sheets and blankets were stained. It shouldn’t be expected for the price we paid, 207€ for 2 nights. After one night we left and moved to another hotel.

Room is not clean and cockroach infestation. My child is terrified with cockroach running around across the room. Washroom is not the best. Overall the resort is not maintained and room needs some upgrade.

5 Days in Subic The decor of the room is old and worn. The hotel does not have an elevator. I will find a different hotel on my next visit.
