Guest Reviews

Lennox Anthony (2/5): - Do not stay at this Hote. It was damaged a few years back by a Typhoon, the owners never repaired the hotel. Rooms are terrible, and anyone can just walk up to your room from the local area.It wsa a horrible and unsafe experience.
anthony (2/5): - rooms were old tv ddnt work..whn someone came n fixed it only 2 channels..hot water quit working after first day..the staff was good very polite
Marc (2/5): - This property is in total decline. I booked for 2 nights arrived and walked out. They are advertising under false & misleading information. Final point dont waste your money & dont believe the Web site 12/7/25
Charlene Anniel (2/5): Take it off from Hotels.com - Worn out, not maintained. Dirty, door is about break, water leak, bathroom does showers does not work. This place needs a serious renovation or tear down. We have to move out in the middle of the night. Worst is, you can’t get the refund
Verified traveler (2/5): Fall from Glory - I had stayed at Blue Rock numerous times a few years back. It was always a nice, clean well maintained property. It was never glamorous, but always decent. Not so this time. Sink stayed clogged even after reporting it, internet was nonexistent, safety rails on balconies and stairs were rusted through at the bottoms, shower handle was missing, and tv satellite was out the whole time, plus other numerous issues . I was very disappointed with the state of the property. I'll not stay there again.
Marcio (6/5): - The only thing I liked was the location and the staff. The worst part is that I made a reservation for 3 people and they gave me a room with one bed. And they wanted to charge me an extra 500PHP for a bed. And of course I didn't pay. And they put a mattress for the child to sleep on. Other than that, the Resort is old. There are leaking faucets that wet the bathroom floor. The toilet lid is broken. The pool has green water. They turned off the pool lights early. Making it impossible to enjoy the night. The place has an extra 100php per adult and 50php per child for the Environmental Fee. And this information was not available anywhere. to get to the Resort. I thought I was being taxed for being a tourist. Anyway, I will not go back to the hotel. I did not feel comfortable trying the cuisine. I ordered food from Grabb.
SBVegasAdventures (8/5): Good place to stay if your expectations are set correctly - I am a business traveler and have stayed in hotels all over the world from 1-5 stars. My only hotel requirements are clean, quiet and no bugs and this place certainly met those. I need nothing in a hotel room (bring my own toiletries/snacks) so the lack of was no problem for me. As stated in other reviews, the place is dated and a little rundown, probably hasn't been renovated since Vietnam War era but again, it was clean, quiet and no bugs so that was no issue for me. The room was right on the beach and you can easily walk to town. 7-11 and McDonalds are close by. Price was right around $60 usd which was fair. There is a resterant and bar onsite and staff was friendly. If you are picky or want luxury, you may want to stay elsewhere but I was fine with this place and would probably stay here again.
Verified traveler (2/5): Worst Hotel Stay - Hotel was old, dilapidated and rundown, ceilings had holes. Toilet had a sewage smell emanating when using the tap, flushing the toilet and when turning on the shower. No basic amenities provided, not even complimentary bottled water were provided. Only stayed 1 night and had to move to another hotel at around the same price range. I'll never recommend anyone to stay at this hotel.
727clintw (4/5): There's better resorts available close by - The deluxe room had a refrigerator, but no bottled water and no tea or coffee facilities. There was no housekeeping for the duration of our stay. The bar staff were disinterested in serving customers, the beers were more expensive than close by resorts and not particularly cold. The last night of our stay the bathroom stunk of raw sewerage. The owner wandered around, never stopping to speak with customers, and this is a customer service business. There's better resorts available nearby.
Jocy_12 (4/5): Disappointed - Had stayed at Blue Rick numerous times in the past, but only for brief overnight stays in transit for work. This stay was with my wife and we stayed for 2 nights - quite disappointed. The memories and photographs online are a distant memory and reflected a resort that was clearly well maintained with relatively good food and rooms. The resort is in need of substantial maintenance and rework Tobit it to its previous standard, which having looked at many other better value resorts in the area, even with maintenance and repairs it will be we’ll be find other resorts in the area.
John (2/5): Stay away unless you are on an extreme budget! - Dated hotel . Staff was not friendly . Would not even respond when I greated them with a “Good morning!” The place is old and dated , the staff walks around the so called - resort like zombies ! The Water always backed up in the shower.The staff appeared to have an attitude when we asked to order food ! Do yourself a favor and stay at the Harley hotel down the street instead.
L6724DNjohnnyr (2/5): Rubbish - Basic room was terrible, upgraded to a superior room which was also basic The bed was as hard as a wooden board There was an unsecured unlocked window in the bathroom The tv didn't work and the hot water popped a fuse and went cold mid shower Restaurant was closed and had to eat elsewhere The place has a run-down neglected feel to it Stayed here 5 years ago and there have been zero upgrades since Booked two nights but left after one Fortunately they didn't argue about giving me a refund I DO NOT recommend this place unless you just got out of prison and don't mind compromise
Darren (2/5): Was a fan, but no more - On arrival we had to pay an entrance fee of 100p /person and was looking forward to getting something to eat, but the kitchen is closed for renovations. The beach view is nice but everything in the hotel needs updating. For the price i expected more.
_philbkk1066 (2/5): Needs full renovation - The worst hotel I have stayed in and I have stayed in some local towns in the Philippines. Bathroom filthy, shower no water, toilet did not flush, safe broken, food inedible, door to room a 10 year could open. Felt unsafe and unclean there. 20 years ago one of the best in olongapo under Australian ownership. Great restaurant and all working. No money has been spent on it in the last 10 years. Should de list from booking.com
Maria Theresa (2/5): - The property has seen its glory days. The rooms are in a very bad condition. Bathroom is very old and smelly. Roaches are running around. The blanket that was put on top of the bed has cigarette burns and smells.
Joe (8/5): - nice hotel ---but old --needs some updating -----water was great ocean
Ivan Angel De Jesus (4/5): - Not was it used to be, property needs to be renovated. Limited menu at 1/4 of what it used to be. Old noisy aircons that barely cooled the room. Maint door had cracked in The middle. Need to be renovated
Scott (6/5): It was not as expect. - Nice beach. Room was ok. Pool is not clean. Loud drunkard party. They never cleaned up any of the mess. I will stay at Icove or Mangoes next time. Not worth what I paid.
Y8660CNadriant (2/5): Absolutely a disgrace - Arrived in this place it is Faulty Towers on steroids. Check in room had no running water for 6 hours, I ordered 3 different drinks from waitress didn’t have In stock, staff didn’t care drink orders were lost when there was only 8 people in the venue on a Friday nite. . Also had 6 steak options on menu asked waitress only had 1 steak option. Ordered chicken snitzel crumbed was burnt. Also Towels & Sheets were filthy dirty. All the chairs around the bar were broken. Owner doesn’t care about customers. If he spent a few dollars on the joint it could be the best place in subic. Pool you couldn’t swim in it was totally green. My partner & I check out the next day. Only good thing about the place is the view.
dannaf2021 (2/5): Grossly disappointing!!!! - The road to get to the location was pretty treacherous and arriving at the location was nothing short of disappointing. The photos on the website are deceiving and are probably from 2001 when it was built. There has obviously been no updates or upkeep based on the condition we found it in. We planned to be there 4 days and 3 nights. Needless to say, we arrived one day and left the next. The refrigerator was extremely old, rusted, and did not work, 2 of the 3 remotes had dead batteries, the AC unit was above the bed and couldn't control the temperature, the bath and bed linens are old and very worn. The narrow walkway to our room was constantly blocked by two elderly men and their two young female companions. This place does not deserve any stars. It is more appropriate for hourly rental!!!
terry (6/5): - Property very run down and in need ofsome tlc pool was green and cloudy no electric forwhole day with noyance offer for enconvien
James (2/5): - This place is not rated as a one star, the building is in horrible shape. Electric is lost several times a day or the whole day with no generator back up. Pool is green. Electrical outlets hanging out of the wall. Sink water faucets will not cut off and leaking on the floor. Hot water heater will trip off due to no water pressure. Room smells of mold. Walls are dirty. Food menus don’t have 80 percent of the menu options. The waitress is embarrassed because they keep having to say sorry about no food or beer options. Expedia please take the blue rock off your hotel options. Nasty mangey cats looking for food. Rain leaks on the dining room tables. Thanks.
Jeffery (4/5): - Property not being aggressively maintained, no amenities like shampoo. No phone in rooms. But being near beach is nice. Restaurant ok
James (4/5): - I have to say that the property site is on a very beautiful beach, the water is clean and clear, the staff tries to rake the beach every morning while doing their daily cleaning. The area is family friendly and great for small children, no complaints about the area or beach! But my stay wasn’t what I believed I purchased online, let me explain; the room I booked wasn’t the room I purchased, when I complained about it they gave me the room, it was very very outdated, the room haven’t been used in I believe months, there wasn’t any bulbs in the light fixtures, the shower fixtures wasn’t connected, no running water or plumbing. Once I told them at the front desk they agreed to fix everything while I go have lunch. Once I returned a couple hours later and wanted to shower, I turned the water on to get warm for my shower, as I grabbed the shower head I got a electrical shock of electricity that knocked me back. I once again spoke with the front desk and they switched rooms…wow! This new room was a small upgrade from worse to poor, the entry door had a gap underneath that I can see the outside, I watched bugs walk in without any issues. My weekend stay probably would have been better if I stayed in a tent on the beach and only used their public toilets and showers.
Peter (6/5): - This place is really too expensive for what it was.... constantly running toilet, old and tired. Staff at the restaurant seemed more interested in playing with their phones then serving their customers.... all in all a bit disappointing all round.
E3535PHjessicae (2/5): Disgusting rooms don’t be fool on their website. - First we arrived in this place we have to pay entrance fee P 100.00 pesos each.When I booked this place on the internet looks amazing the front beach deluxe room looks nice .Well when we got there the front building looks so old disgusting even the reception old and the receptionist her face is miserable no smile straight away told us no food !no drink allowed in this premises because we got everything here ,no way I will order in this restaurant looks disgusting .Open our five bedrooms everything is old bedsheets is not clean mattress got stained on it ,I told the miserable receptionist I’m not happy with my front beach deluxe room is not what it’s said on the internet deluxe room the headboard is broken the nail is poking out and dusty the small fridge got rushed all over the bottom door the shower is rusty ,toilet bowl is brown on the bottom I wish I got the bleach to clean it for them I won’t even seat on it .So complaints to the receptionist that I’m not happy didn’t say anything just went to her computer and give me one key front beach deluxe room😟 the other four bedrooms they didn’t move us because there’s no room vacancy .Please don’t bother to book this place you will regretted it.
Michael (2/5): - The picture is very different in reality. Toilet is very dirty.
johnnie (2/5): - Nothing
Daniel (8/5): - Nice trip just some mishaps when ordering food. Other than that nice cozy little place to get away
rusty1956 (2/5): Find somewhere else for your hard earned money - No stars for this rundown establishment Blue Rock was ok years ago. I do not recommend anything there now , the food came not as ordered after waving at a preoccupied group of employees that had no idea or training about customer service. No water supplied in rooms , no safe , door handle all but fallen apart , uncomfortable bed , pillows . I could go on and on about no proper management but it is not worth it. Your much better of staying in a comfortable hotel with the Blue Rock is not worthy of your b
mark (8/5): - Good view friendly people. The staff at the restaurant and bar were not very helpful or anything and we're always talking amongst their selvesand not helping the customers.
Loren (6/5): - In a poor condition, sink drain clogged, no room furniture except for the bed, refrigerator was very noisy so we didn’t use it…staff was happy to assist whenever they could.
Jan (4/5): - First room we get when we come there was terribly, broken doors ,ant on the room then we change room uppgrade to superior but that was no superior, the whole place is down, and the food in restaurant is not good. I feel soory for the staff they do ther best.
I4755ZFjohnj (2/5): Not a star even 1/2 star . - I would not even let a dog stay in the room , I told the owner but didn't care . It said it was a scuba diving operation there and there was nothing and som people said it has not been there the last 20 years. I was warned about the food and they said don't eat there and I went to another place to eat . If you don't want to spoil your holidays then find some where else.
mylcpa (4/5): So disappointing. So bad now. - Not what it used to be. The place used to be great. Had a floating bar. Staff was great. Rooms were good. Food was excellent. No more. Checked in today. Room was ordinary. No ref. No water. No shampoo. No tooth brush. Definitely unremarkable. What a shame.
John (6/5): - The property is dated and has suffered from recent typhoons. Its location is fantastic. It was functional and comfortable but could do with a facelift. The staff were very good, friendly and helpful.
Kyle (6/5): - It has gone downhill post Covid. Light bulbs out, fridge door would not close fully, cabinets missing handles just in our room. It was the same all over the resort. Food used to be on the high side for price worth it. Now food is still on the high side (higher now) and quality has dropped significantly. Pool was small but deep and clean.
Malcolm (2/5): Worst hotel I have ever stayed in !! - I booked and payed for 5 days , but after 1 night we decided to leave as the hotel was so run down , broken bed ,broken furniture , broken towel rail , place has not been looked after in years , the pool was filthy , I would not let my daughter go in it , the beach front was filthy , surely it’s in the best interest of the hotel to take care of this , I lost 4 days money , but was just happy to be leaving , I would not put my dog up in such a place as this , this hotel has so much potential being on the beach front , but obviously the owner -s have lost interest ,
James (2/5): - This property is really showing it’s age and has not been repaired. Roof leaks on the tables while your eating. The hot water in the rooms don’t work. Old musky smell when you walk in your room. Water pressure is horrible. Very little chlorine in the pool. Food menus are incorrect and food portions are so small except the rice. This was my last time staying at blue rock.
BRIAN (10/5): - Staff is outstanding! Hotel right on the beach. Rooms were good. I cant think of anything that was average or below. Food excellent.
Mondell (2/5): - Only thing to like is that it is on the beach. And the lady at front desk was extremely nice and tried to be helpful. The rooms are old. The bar staff during the day didn't offer any service even after I got a menu from there 20 minutes and no asked if we wanted anything. And we were the only people at the bar. Night staff at bar was better. But i just got drinks at other bars down the beach
Stan (10/5): - I stay at this hotel quite often every time I come to the Philippines the staff are always wonderful and very friendly and they know me by name whenever I come that means something I love the atmosphere and love the dining in the bar area wonderful place I recommend it to anyone
Ramon (4/5): - Only good thing is on beach and good restaurant. Not good value for the price charged. Real bad internet in room that they couldn't fix during my whole stay. No amenities, rooms never cleaned right and sand in all rooms that was never swept. Used to stay here before the pandemic and enjoyed it. The trend by hotels after the pandemic is to cut back on all services and not fix up the properties after been shut down during pandemic and charge higher rates. This hotel is no different, charge more, receive less.
David (4/5): - My last visit was 2019. Back then better operations all around. This time we have the room from hell. No hot water, no toilet seat in the room. Fifty bed sheet and cover. Other facilities appeared to be run down. Was not impressed and very disappointing.. I can no longer advise anyone to visit the resort again.
oopsvanman (4/5): The Glory Days are over for this place - Stayed a couple of night in March. It had been a few years since we had been last and i can say the pandemic has certainly had in impact with Blue Rock. The accommodation was very tired to say the least and in desperate need of update...especially the shower room if you can call it that. AC worked, TV/Cable did not, hot water heater was from the early 1990's i think. The restaurant menu as ever is extensive. There was a group of 8 of us and none of us had a decent meal the time we were there. Staff very friendly and accommodating. Won't be going back to Blue Rock....i am sure there are better out there. The beach and water was clean and clear at the Blue Rock....but when walking along the beach it was littered with garbage in and out of the water.......says a lot when the locals can't be bothered to maintain it
Dallas (2/5): - It was dirty, very very noisy, the airconditiner leaked water in my lugage, there were fire ants in my room that bit my feet up and caused blisters, my time there was terrible, I checked out early just to get away from that place. to top it all off they cheated me on my room rate. Bluerock is a horrible place to stay!!!
CaptainMSJ (2/5): Restaurant - very disappointing. - Review for the restaurant only: The menu is ERT good with a lot of options. However, they hardly have anything available - no fish dishes at all - only two steak dishes out of the 10-12in the menu. I ordered a tenderloin which according to the menu should be 300 gr. After about an hour and a follow up with the waitress, the food was served. The 300 grams turned out to be about 150-180 grams only, and it was definitely NOT a tenderloin. A very disappointing meal indeed!
MDFFMD27 (4/5): The Wagon Wheels have falken off! - We have visited Blue Rock many times in the past and have been "satisfied". Today My Aussie Burger was missing the beetroot, the sliced tomatoe was mostly green and the parsley had dead black bits. My Wifes Egg Plant dish came with a worm (cooked). I appreciate things are slow due to covid but that is no excuse for what we were/weren't served today.
NikB605 (4/5): Came with a highly recommended restaurant...not - The first item on their very extensive menu was out of stock, smoked salmon. As was the second so I settled for a Green Curry and rice. The glass of Hardys white wine was stale, obviously the bottle had been opened for a while. It took over one hour to serve the curry and rice, just as I was getting ready to walk out it appeared. Despite being a major resort the waitress claimed the credit card machine was broken, probably a lie. On leaving a local man stopped at our table to say he too had waited over an hour for his food and his order was delivered back to front.
Rosethh (6/5): Beach Trip, my wife and our 2 kids - My family of 4 went here with my wife’s friends. Very nice place, okey room. Good beach. The only 2 things i have to say about this place with negativ point is: Insane pricy, and low Quality resturant services. I mean, 900p for 2 burgers and shakes for my son and me.. and 45min waiting for the food(only us in the resturant).. comon, did u go hunying before cooking 2 burgers??
Verified traveler (10/5): - Excellent place. Once you are through check in, the resort and beach access has a private enjoyable and peaceful feeling. Easy beach access, facilities very clean, and the staff is very friendly. (Excellent service). Huts with BBQ along the beach front of the resort. Food is off the scale delicious. Food selections are a plus grade A!
Josephus (6/5): Hotel has improved but its best to eat elsewhere - The new rooms in the annex building are a significant improvement and was clean and well taken care of. What unfortunately has gone down hill is the restaurant. It takes real time and effort to fail as a restaurant on as many levels as Blue Rock fails. From wait staff with absolutely no training at all and no interest in taking or delivering orders to kitchen staff that has no ability to provide the items on the menu no matter the amount of time given. Clearly the management of the Blue Rock don't care about customers or they would have friends and family actually test the restaurant out and see the issues first hand. I understand with COVID things are more complicated but maybe the better solution is to reduce the menu down to a simple selection the kitchen with exceptionally basic skills can actually accomplish. Maybe it would be better to replace the menu with hotdogs and hamburgers because eggs are clearly to complex and rice is beyond their current skill set.
Arthur (4/5): - The restaurant food was exceptional! I would definitely eat there again and take a date there. The room I stayed in was a disappointment. The walls had cracks on them. The bathroom vent fan didn’t work so moisture stayed trapped in the bathroom thus creating mold on the ceiling. They should use conventional bed sheets on the bed. They didn’t grab the mattress. The room desperately needed a paint job. The bathroom ceiling needs to be treated for mold and repainted. One of the panels on the entrance door was cracked. I could see outside of my room.
martin (10/5): - great place to stay, staff are very friendly and helpful, very nice beach, and a great location
Verified traveler (10/5): Blue - Great place to stay. That is why I keep coming back. All staff and managers are very friendly.
MikeMcC23 (2/5): Steak was garbage - Ordered a prime t bone steak and it was absolute garbage. No seasoning or flavor was used it seemed like. Looked like the "chef" had to cut into it a few times to check if it was medium rare, which just tells me he has no clue on how to cook a steak properly. I guess i should've read the earlier review about the steaks as he's 100% correct. 0/10 for the steak, not coming back.
810stewt (4/5): Steaks are no longer any good - We've been visiting (we never stay there as the rooms are dated and dingy) Blue rock for meals for years. Each time we visit subic we always stop by BR for a meal and a few drinks. My rating is only about the steaks. Yesterday and the past 4-5 times i ate steal there ive been seriously disappointed. I paid p750 for what is meant to be an Australian ribeye. It was tasteless, really chewy and fatty and was a tiny piece of meat (menu said 350g but im doubting thats accurate as it was small). I used to always recommend BR as thw best place for a quality steak at reasonable prices but can no longer recommend their over priced, under sized, bland, fatty, chewy steaks. Really disappointed. The owner is always around but has never once even said hi when we visit.
Miguel (6/5): Nice getaway - Resort over all was nice. Service exceptional but the room was a little run down. Fortunately the weather was nice so the lacking room features didn’t too negatively impact over all comfort. Not the best beaches I’ve seen in PI but still pleasant.
Gary094 (6/5): Blue rock - Located right on Baloy Beach. The roads outsise are not sealed. Dirty and dusty. The restaurant is right on the beach. The menu looked good but had drinks. The shake was good 157 peso a bit $. The service was slow . The service button on table didn't seem to work ? I tried to get the attention of staff a few times but didn't acknowledge me eventually one came over. There only a few tables of customers so wasn't that busy. With only one staff behind bar making drinks i waited near 20 mins just for a shake. But was worth the wait? Shake was excellent.
Verified traveler (8/5): - It is an older hotel and in need of some upgrading and repairs
Cessyko (2/5): Bad decision - I'm sorry to say this, but this does not meet my minimum standard of cleanliness and comfortability in Hospitality industry in general. I do not reccomend this accomodation if you have options around. I don't want to repeat the comments below but seems pretty similar to what I experience, such a big dissapointment. I might be here again though in the restaurant even if I saw a cockroach over the floor. See photo. There is a beach you can swim I think (coz I did not) on nice days. It was gloomy and rainy when we were there.
Verified traveler (10/5): - Excellent friendly staff and great security guards
Verified traveler (10/5): - Very convenient place, great stuff both day and night security are excellent
jess (6/5): Beach vendors make it intolerable. Duterte needed. - No complaints about resort. Room clean and everything worked. Restaurant very good and lovely waitresses. All staff very friendly and helpful. Big negative were the beach/street vendors. At one time seven were waiting outside the exit to the beach. Continually shouting and waving to get one's attention I couldn't even enjoy the view from the restaurant. They follow you around even though you say no repeatedly. Harassment so bad i stayed off beach. No point staying at beach if you can't enjoy it. I won't be back until the authorities abate the continuous harassment by the vendors. Away from blue rock the beach is full of trash and litter. Other resorts and businesses look run down or abandoned. Area needs a clean up and redevelopment. What President Duterte did to Boracay is needed here.
Verified traveler (8/5): Nice - Friendly staff, rooms need upgrading
Verified traveler (8/5): - Overall we were happy the food was gd and staff very friendly
Jerry (6/5): - spring bed too soft
Donald (6/5): nice place for vacation - The room was nice so us the service from staff ..
Verified traveler (2/5): - Staff friendly, good food, we booked a deluxe room thinking it was high end but it was worse than budget, no windows, the toilet we had to take the top off and fill ourselves as it took the cystern almost 40 minutes to fill. Very noisy, external lights on all night lighting up the room, only one thin blanket, clock on wall not working, to get to the restaurant if it rains you are going to get wet, overall not a good experience and will not stay here again
Verified traveler (6/5): - There are many fries in restrunt. I don’t like it. though there are good cost.
Stephen (8/5): 4 nights at Blue Rock - Great room in the VIP room section. Very responsive service. Good food.
Verified traveler (4/5): Sorry I came here - The room was not clean when I checked in and wasn’t serviced during my stay, the wifi was useless in my room, and the restaurant turned out some food that was barely edible. I won’t be back...
Verified traveler (10/5): - Great food and location right on beach. Rooms could use upgrades
Verified traveler (8/5): - Nice location etc. Food not great, but not any worse than other places in the area.
Verified traveler (10/5): - Staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Excellent room.
Jessamina (2/5): I wouldn’t recommend this resort. - Poor customer service. Unfriendly environment. Poor room service. You have to go to the bar to order the food and send it to the room due to the phone is not working.
Michel (10/5): Nice weekend - Overall very nice, but about a dozen tiles were loose in the shower of room Nr. 24.
Verified traveler (10/5): - Location next to ocean, with floating bar, very pleasant employees. I had the VIP suite fully furnished with full kitchen facilities to make a good trip better. Gave me the option to eat in or call for room service which was also excellent.
Verified traveler (6/5): - Loved the location next to beech. Room was dated and bed uncomfortable. Would of rated room as a one or two out of five. Location is a five out of five
Verified traveler (6/5): Nice place to stay on the Beach - The location was great, the food was very good. The price is right for this place. The rooms needs a little updating but like I said the price is right.
Verified traveler (6/5): - Was noisy but nice, were building huts out front, so hammering from dawn till dusk.
Mike (8/5): - Well located right on boloy beach with the Restauant over looking the beach. Older style accommodation but large and clean. The mirror on the ceiling is a nice eights touch. You can walk to most places or take a short tricycle ride to the restaurants and bars. There are some nice bars/restaurants back up the road which are a good deal cheaper than the premium price that’s charged for very ordinary food at the blue rocks restaurant.
Bitia (8/5): - We had a great time as the place is not over populated, it is peaceful and relaxing, the food is high price but its worth it. Tip: When you commute going to the place and in thight budget you may ride the blue jeepney ( 14.00 php per person) and alight at a corner where there is 7/11 store and a land mark Bay Long Beach and ride a tricycle (20php per person) going to the resort. The taxi on sm olongapo will charge you up to 500 pesos going to Blue Rock but you can haggle the price, we booked for only 350...
Raki (8/5): - We stayed for three days and two nights and we enjoyed it. We enjoyed our stay because the beach was clean and the water was clear. The restaurant food selections were good, even the cocktails at the bar. Staff were friendly though a bit noisy especially for those of us who stayed near their office area. There were vendors outside but they were all polite and friendly. The facilities were old and needed to be renovated, especially the rooms and their accessories, (especially the mini bars) but they have enough amenities in the rooms just in case you forgot something. The pool is well-maintained. Parking is limited.
Verified traveler (4/5): - Terrible , lots of ants and flies all over and smell bad in the sink and in the restroom
Verified traveler (10/5): Blue Rock Beach Resort Is A Winner - Staff are excellent (reliable,trustworthy,courteous,kind,efficient,honest made our stay memorable) Management are very friendly and very helpful and strait-forward down to earth in fact I would say they are excellent. Owners are gentleman very quick to offer assistance and advice and are excellent men to boot, I have no reservation in recommending this Resort to my friends or people that I meet in my travels.
Gary R (8/5): - Had fun and the staff was very nice
John (6/5): - I have been staying at blue rock for years. The condition of this place has been getting worst. I booked a delux room but after one night I couldn’t stay in room anymore. Most things broke in room. Shower head remotes for TV toilet didn’t flush right had to flush 3-4-5 times for it to go down. I went to check in asked if I could change rooms, so I upgraded to superior room. Better but nothing great. Also in need of repair. They need to fire the whole maintenance crew and get new people that do repairs. They changed a lot of waitresses and bartenders. Why not maintance people? Place is in need of repair. They also charged me regular room rate for upgrade instead of giving me Expedia discounted rate whickywas only $4 per day more for the superior room. I will be looking for new place to stay in subic. Not Blue Rock anymore
Ben YewChow (10/5): nothg to complain.room rate on d high side . - hv stay at BRock many times over d past few yrs. with friendly & efficient staff like d ladies Jackie, Weng & Cynthia, plan to b back tho Nov.
suresh (8/5): pleasent stay - it was the pleasant stay. Food, Staff, location are very good. Management must change the tiles of the room, it is very dangerous & slippery, specially on rainy season. Must try Pork baby Rib.
Carl (4/5): Urgent refurb required. - Food great as always. The room (5) however, was really small. There were ants everywhere including on the bed. The water is either boiling or freezing so you have to mix it in a bucket. It's clear the rooms have never had a refurb. Would I eat here again? 100% yes. Would I stay here again? Never.
Divina (10/5): - a very nice hotel, overlooking the water..Restaurant food were good and not so pricey. Its a low budget hotel but was really satisfied with hotel staff and facilities
Verified traveler (10/5): - very nice hotel
Roberto (8/5): - Hotel on beach, good 24 hr restaurant
Eric (6/5): Ok - Service is excellent but internet is horrible everywhere on the property- especially the rooms
andrew (2/5): Do not I repeat do not stay here - Shocking,awfull,never again What a dump the whole place is in need of a major revamp rooms terrible and dirty Infested with rats around the beachfront dining area if you can look into the kitchen believe me you will never eat there...disgusting And as for the front desk all I an say is clue,less, Irecomend you sleep at the local dump before you stay here
Verified traveler (8/5): Loved it - The food is incredible, the place is very nice and tidy. Really recommended
Verified traveler (6/5): - Nice hotel very close to beach sea Overall hotel very tired rooms old and need refurb Hotel food and drink qiute expensive The whole hotel need a refurb to bring up to a acceptable standard Thats the rooms and the hotel facilitys So very very averge
Osvaldo (8/5): Good experience until the end b/c of staff. - Over all I liked the hotel, but the bathroom was a bit small. Also I had to get use to how the shower worked. It has this set up where you have to open the water under the box where you open to make the water hot, that was a bit strange. Other then that I was happy with the room. My only complaint was I asked for a hour late check out so I can wait for a friend to come pick me up, and the front desk staff said rather sternly to me, that "checkout is at 12." I didn't think one hour extra was a big deal, but they gave me the feeling they wanted me out. I didn't appreciate that, and it colored the way I felt about that hotel. I am not sure I would go back just because of that final treatment from the staff.
FRIDA (4/5): Nice beach front property - The place is deteriorating. It needs rehabbed badly; which, they looked like they've already started, one room at a time. The vanity sink and kitchen sink had very good water pressure, but there was no water pressure in our shower. It was almost just a trickle. We couldn't understand why. They changed the shower head and the hose with a brand new one, and that didn't work. We found out the hot water heater was the culprit. It was badly corroded and rusty. So no matter what the staff and maintenance did to remedy the problem, it was futile. The beds and the rooms should be updated. The place has a very nice clean beach. The food was really good at their restaurant. The staff and workers were very nice, courteous and would do anything to make you happy and satisfied. Mick, the owner, is very friendly. So that more than made up for the flaws of the property. Caution: This is adults only hotel because the whole area is a white old men's heaven with so many young "ladies of the night" readily available at any time.
