Hotels near Subic Bay Airport - SFS, Subic

Went to Dive the wrecks in Subic Bay through Mangos.. Although vis was not the best, there were some interesting wreck diving and Mangos is a good place to dive from. Good management, staff and equipment was up to par for renting. The other aspect is that is not known for its diving so each site was quite.. only once did a another dive company swim through our dive party.. As the diving took most of the day we did not get a chance to see much of Olongapo.

The area is architecturally and urban planning wise like an upscale western very quiet, very walkable suburb. Lots of green space, several available local stores and cafe's.....a few rundown buildings.....Very close to the water, but protected, safe, quiet, beautiful. Its very relaxing

The hotels and beaches areas the closeness to many restaurants to choose from 3 malls in the area transportation and many places in walking distance. If you would like to take a bus to Manila their are two bus stations in olongapo to go to different destinations

After the Americans left, Subic Bay Freeport Zone was left to the locals to maintain - So you can guess what state it's in! Over recent years there has been investment, but the whole place is overrated and the beaches grey, dirty and cheap. There's lots of prostitution present, and hundreds of sex tourists in the Barrio Baretto area - Perhaps local government prefers Cash over Morals... The main Harbour Port Mall is nice, although it is designed for those with money, and not the majority of poorer locals. There are MANY fantastic beaches and resorts around the Philippines, Subic Bay & Olongapo doesn't have ANY of international standard!! Also, it's cheaper to buy on Amazon and get stuff delivered to the Philippines than shop in the "Duty Free" stores in Subic, as the prices are a RIP OFF!

Some of the hotels are newer and nicer but they have different price range so do your research first before booking a room. The beach if it's raining it will be not pretty because of the rubbish on the beach but still it's a beach that you can walk to though. Nice to stop at the Treasure Island Resort after your walk in the beach for a couple of drinks or have a dinner there. Beware of tricycle drivers who are overpricing their rates whenever you go out. You can just walk going to the main road it's an exercise and good for the health.

Good location near the beach area...very spacious unit.. air conditioning perfect , hot water was a plus..living area/kitchen good size ...safe parking area ...would recommend to anyone with family...
