When you arrive at the subdivision gate, the guard will greet you: tell them you are here to check in (masks are still mandatory). From the gate, you'll follow the one way arrows painted on the road, stay to your left and you'll see the hotel on your left. The porters will gladly handle all your luggage even though they're short and slight of build: we had three big balikbayan boxes, one person even carried it on his shoulders! Please be generous with the tips because they do work extra hard, and are so very polite: doors held open and greetings of "Morning/afternoon ma'am/sir may I help you?" everywhere you go. I tend to ask A LOT of questions; but the staff gladly answered them all. Their rooms are large, roomy and clean, with a sitting room, and a king size bed with a firm mattress. My husband enjoyed their hot shower, because we don't have hot running water where we live. Ah, the simple pleasures in life! They have 110 and 220 outlets, a fridge, small mini-bar and free WiFi. It's good to know that they have generators on standby for the occasional brown out (blackout). COMPLIMENTARY BREAKFAST AT MARANAO GRILL (between the reception desk and pool) - longganisa tiny but yummy. They're sweet so make sure to dip it in their vinegar then eat with the eggs and garlic rice. - refillable brewed coffee is good - orange juice - tastes more like orange drink. - bread is made in house and served with real butter from New Zealand (you need to ask for the jam). - fresh fruit I was always the first to arrive at 6am, so I had my own personal waiter for 30 whole minutes. Eating by myself in peace and quiet, listening to the relaxing background music was a little piece of heaven for this super busy gal *cleansing breath in...........and out* They have a small gym next to the linen station (towels available here for the pool and the gym). You can also talk a nice, leisurely walk around the quiet subdivision that surrounds the hotel grounds; there's lots of kitties to play with. Please read this as 4.5. I took off half a star for the little details: closet door & front door that sticks open, landscaping that needs just a little bit more care (you might not notice if you don't garden), no outdoor patio umbrellas near the pool, water hoses lying around for days, no microwave, etc. I rounded up for the top quality care we received from the hard-working and lovely staff.

This place is pretty much nickeling and diming you for using the amenities. Wi-fi signal only reaches the pool and beach area (no signal in the villas). The pool and the beach were nice, but being charged for using what I've mentioned is petty. I would never stay here again; this is the first and last time I'd stay here. I've stayed in other Ayala developments (Seda Lio in El Nido, Palawan), but they didn't charge us for the gym and poolside towels. Please consider this review.

To start with, we came for breakfast when there's an ongoing wedding at the veranda. The breakfast buffet is prepared for the wedding guests and not for some ramdom , unexpected guests like us. The headwaiter accomodated us still with merely a 3 minute wait and the lady headwaitress profusely apologized for a very short wait. I perfectly understand the situation . I highly commend the crew for stepping up to the plate of unexpected guests on a very short notice. That is a world class Filipino hospitality for you. Very gracious, polite and extremely accomodating. There's a wide array of Filipino and American foods. The food is thoughtfully cooked, tasty and I will say it again world class. Desserts are awesomely delicious! They are giving us our money's worth. This place is a tourists hidden secret hideaway , a virtual treasure trove of deliciously made Filipino breakfast buffet. The hotel is nicely located in a yacht club ... It has a vantage view of the mountains with some foggy skyline, so pretty and picture perfect. The plank where the yacht docks have a mini esplanade feel to it, great for strolling around and reminiscing... This hotel is certainly worth your buck!

Not the Marriott Experience I Expected…read more Stayed at Marriott Clark for the first time and honestly, it didn't live up to the brand's usual standards. * The bed had a weird, musty smell. * The shower was a mess poor drainage meant water spilled all over the bathroom floor. We had to lay down towels just to keep it from flooding. * Water temperature kept jumping one second cold, the next scalding. * Breakfast was a letdown too. The salmon looked pale, and overall the food didn't taste fresh. Only plus? It's connected to the casino and really close to the airport. Super convenient if you're flying in or out. But for the price and the Marriott name, I expected way better. Next time, I'm booking Swissôtel next door.

The free breakfast was a bonus and I ordered tapsilog which was average but filling. The food place was in the ground floor enclosed by glass walls where you get a good street view of life around here. Check-out was no-hassle.

Experience has taught me more or less to keep my expectations low when booking a provincial hotel…read more While some of the more progressive/popular provinces have topnotch hotels, the general expectation is that your hotel stay will be functional, threadbare, lackluster, and baduy. For the most part, we have all learned to live with it; after all, we don't travel to sleep in our hotel rooms all day. Kung tutulugan mo lang naman, okay na ang baduy. There are many exceptions, of course. There are hotels out there that are not only pleasant to stay in, but actually add to your experience of the town or city. One such hotel is The Plaza Hotel in Balanga City, Bataan. When pictures of the hotel started popping up, I was intrigued. The hotel had an old, classic air to it, that I couldn't believe the fact that it's only a year old. The fact is, The Plaza Hotel looked like a gorgeous, classic hotel that complemented the architectural aesthetics of the plaza in front of it. I knew I needed to see this place for myself, given the chance. That chance came last week, when I went to Bataan to do tourism research. Luckily for me, I got a DealGrocer voucher for The Plaza Hotel, and I was looking forward to seeing the hotel for myself. Once I saw the hotel for the first time, I wasn't disappointed. The hotel was smart-looking and modern, a far cry from the dingy, moldy, corny hotels I usually associate with the provinces. The staff was extremely friendly and attentive (And quite good-looking, it must be said), and they attended to all my requests, with a smile. They were able to check me in an hour early, despite the fact the hotel was fully booked the night before. And the room. The room! This was NOT the hotel room I expected. I was expecting something more spartan, more provincial. Instead, I had a smart-looking, fully-decked hotel room with a really comfortable bed. I had an LED TV with cable, complete amenities in my rather large bathroom, and some token freebies. No, I did not have a mini-bar, a personal ref, and a safe, but come on, who really uses those things?!? If it's any consolation, I had a bathtub. The bed was very, VERY comfortable, and it begged me to tuck in every chance I got, which wasn't much. Wifi was free, and it was pretty stable and fast. I was also lucky to get a room with a view of the plaza, just adding to the room's charm. The hotel does not have a pool nor a gym, though. Not really dealbreakers, but it has to be addressed. They do have a rather excellent Japanese restaurant (The rather plainly named Cafe Kyoto), and at P200/head, the breakfast buffet is a good value for your money. The buffet is at the 6th floor, giving you a good view of Balanga and the rest of Bataan to enjoy with your breakfast. The Plaza Hotel is, for all intents and purposes, a 3-star hotel. However, it goes above and beyond its stature to give you a five-star experience. It's location and exterior aesthetic only add positively to its appeal, but really, it is Bataan's best hotel. It is an instant classic, and I can't wait to go back. Maybe next time I'll stay for two nights.

The accommodation and facilities were A+ however the beach gets a "D" for Dirty. Great hotel in a…read moresubpar beach area. We stayed in the 2 Queen room with ocean view and had a private balcony. We can hear the waves while sleeping. Great working A/C, electric pot for hot water, robes, in room safe, strong shower pressure, clean pool, 2 min walk to baloy beach and other restaurants/resorts. The restaurant was good for breakfast and shakes, NOT for lunch nor dinner. Mediocre Filipino food! The beach front is clean, but at low tide there is a visible pipe that drains out to the ocean from the hotel (sewage?? I don't know just smells like it). I don't know how people can swim in that murky water, best option is the pool. Although someone cleans the short beachfront, trash constantly floats and brought by incoming waves from other resort. Front desk service, restaurant staff, and housekeeping was TOP NOTCH! All were friendly, professional, and greeted us every time (hence the 4 star). 2 min walk from baloy beach, however this is dirtiest active beach I've ever seen. A long stretch of trashy shores - empty trash bags, food wrappers, deadwood, dog-poop, and more. Mangrove is great for the drinks, pool, and view of the bay - that's it! Try driving up north to Bolinao.

They're so courteous. They go an extra - mile to please guests. I also love the free welcome bar of bottled water, chocolate bars and chips. Thus , the 3 stars. There is no hotel elevator. So, if you're a fitness buff, you'll do great traversing the steps of this resort hotel. The view of this hotel is not so great. There is a small expanse of seashore you could walk around. The location is nothing to rave about.... Bunch of other area hotels surround this place. The beach is not pristine but dirty. Had I not been so dead -tired from the long travel last night and have the strength to browse more hotels to go to, I would not step foot on this hotel. Expensive than Marriot's with no continental or buffet breakfast . That's the killer, so overpriced! Added bonus is the sewer pipe seen directly spewing to the beachfront... This place could benefit from some filtration plant for their sewage!
