Everything was ok, we enjoyed our stay. The room was clean, the staff were nice, the pool even if small is okay, the food was alright, just need to improve on the cleanliness of the beach, as there trash on it... But overall, it was an awesome stay in your hotel! Keep it up!😊

Renovation required
When we checked in our room wasn't ready yet and no bath towels prepared. The room is badly needed some renovation though the location is accessible and walking distance to any restaurants outside.

Ok stay
The hotel staff where very friendly the rooms where big but the bathroom was not so clean there is mold on the ceiling spider webs bugs etc... The saddest thing is the beach there is sewage,glass condoms just really dirty. That is not the hotels fault of course that is the local government. The hotel is not bad for a one night stay it is good value for price oh the restaurant was not bad also.

Nice hotel close to the beach
Our stay at the hotel was great eventhough we booked on a very short notice. The staff was very helpful and friendly. The room was spacious and the shower was very spacious as well.Having breakfast outside on the terrace with a great view on the bay is highly recommended.Checking in went fast and so was checking out.

will refer everyone in area to stay
Well me and wife arrived and had some mechanical issues... Brought to attention of night staff about refund and moving to another level cation... Front desk staff and maintenance staff took IMMEDIATE ACTION ... Within minutes we were relocated to another room where everything was absolutely fantastic.. Front line staff are direct mirrors of their leaders.. In this case it was no wonder that the issues were taken care of.. Management was absolutely fantastic. Staff excellent and food was delish.. 4-5 stars in my book... If you get to subic please visit grand seas resort and have a wonderful stay.. We will again

Water problem, small and dirty pool
In the morning of our check-out, they were having problems with water supply at the second floor. It was very hassle. What we didn't like is that my mom and aunt called the front desk several times to follow up for updates on the water problem. We waited for around 30 minutes but they were still not doing anything to fix the problem. As customers, we don't plan to waste time by just waiting around - we wanted results asap. My mom went warfreak mode and they were forced to act on the problem asap. They ended up bringing us with gallons of purified drinking water to be used for bath. Apart from the water problem, their pool was also small (don't believe the pictures) and kind of dirty. For a family getaway, the location is not appropriate since it's in the red-light district. Basically we wouldn't recommend staying here. Sorry not sorry.

I really enjoyed the Grand Seas. Forget about internet, I had none the entire time I was there. I also asked for fresh towels two different times and I never received any. Other than that, the stay was excellent. The staff was extremely friendly and tried to cater to all my needs (they just would not bring me any towels for some reason). When I first got there the sink was clogged and they had two guys there immediately and changed out some plumbing and it worked fine. Great job. The hotel is nice for a cheaper hotel and the location is pretty good. It is right on the beach with a nice pool looking out over the water. They have 2 restaurants on site and plenty of staff to help you with anything you need. Great place for a family or a getaway with your spouse. I will definitely use this hotel again the next time I am there.

Not inside Subic base but beachfront nonetheless
Had a nice enjoyable stay at Subic Grand Seas Resort. The hotel is a short ride away from the subic freeport zone. Hotel staff were very nice and accommodating. They had free wifi and a nice selection of breakfast. They also had a pool if you don't like the beach. All in all, a satisfying experience. :D

Disappointing Hotel
Do not believe these photos you see on the hotels.com. The hotel offers lot less. Hotel staff are very nice but other than that, nothing to recommend about this hotel. Beach is broke down, room is very old. The hotel is like a drive in hotel. And to go to Olongapo and Subic city, takes a long time to drive. Yes, the price is cheaper but does not worth it at all.

The hotel had a nice setting and views but the wifi was impossible to operate, shower needed remodeling, and in the morning the pool attendants were extremely too loud. Overall a good bang for your buck though. Good Location and good breakfast!

Subic Grand Seas Resort ....
I would say this hotel is in a great location next to all the nightlife in Subic Bay. Its an average hotel and if that's what you are looking for a weekend then it would work for you. The cons are loud window air condition units and no sound proofing, you can hear outside noise easy.

Nice hotel for its price, beachfront
Small hotel, good amenities. It has a pool. Beachfront, it has semi-enclosed area to play games on the beach. Sand is grey and fine. Beach area is part of a long beach with a string of hotels on either side. Improvements are still being built but it does not intrude on the privacy of the guest.

Wouldn't do it again
More negative than positive, difficult to control hot water when there was hot water, it's on the beach but it's nothing but sewage coming from hotels all around. Restaurant is very expensive. Swimming pool is nice and large but no filter and not maintained unless you bring it to their attention. Not a good location, far away from anything. Positives, you have a free massage each day. Hotel staff speak good English.

Subic Grand Seas
The hotel is very good value for money. The area is very scruffy but once you enter the hotel everything is very nice. The staff are so friendly and helpful. The bar and restaurant overlook the beach and its a great place to eat breakfast or watch the sun set with a cold beer.The rooms are a good size with a large wet room style shower.The rooms are quite basic but are clean and have good aircon.

Stay somewhere else
No hot water. Then we got moved from one room to another because the fix was going to take a long time. Then that room didn't have hot water. The private beach was so full of garbage that we didn't even want to walk on it. Upon checkout, the staff conveniently forgot to mention the return of my deposit in an attempt to keep it. I had to ask for it upon which they were mucking around in a file saying I don't think I gave them one, even though I had the slip saying I did. So yea basically way overpriced. Frankly, the place is worth about 1000php/night.

Budget and reasonable hotel.
This hotel is locate by the seaside, and midst of Barret bar street. The room is clean and hot shower is good, but man-made perfume smell is little bit bother me. Pool is small and shabby. Hotel staff is very friendly and kindly for all customers, that is fine. Chinese young group is little bit noisy in restaurant. I think this hotel is reasonable.

Good beach, good pubs and restaurants
This was right smack in the red light district, but is surprisingly family-oriented. The guests were mostly local families with kids. There is a good restaurant on site, but you can also walk to wholesome drinking bars owned by retired US Marines, plus some pretty good restaurants. Rooms are not new but clean and well maintained. It's good enough for a night or two.

A good place to kick back
My stay was OK, the only things I noticed were no bottled water and no hand towels or face clothes, all inexpensive items, such small things to make a better impression, also a big hole in the bath mat, they are trying too hard to get by on the cheap.

Overall Review
We arrived during a monsoon which lasted throughout our stay. The staff was exceptional. Rated the room comfort low because we hade to move 2 times. 1st time no hot water. 2nd time water started leaking from the ceiling and we were on the bottom floor! The 3rd room seemed fine. None of the rooms were really clean. The linens were clean and the floor swept. But the bathrooms and floors were not scrubbed so floors were sticky and bathroom tiles and drains were dirty. The restaurant was very good. The ambience and selections were good also. The pool and the views were exceptional as was the care of the staff.

Nice place to stay in Olangapo
Overall, this was a great place to stay. The only thing travelers should know is that it rains a lot in Olangapo and both the restaurant and the lobby are only accessible by walking a considerable distance out-of-doors. Once you are in your room, or the restaurant, or the lobby (which is the only place to get decent wifi), everything is fine! About the wifi, it is basically non-existent in the room (or at least in room #101) - but the lobby is spacious with couches and chairs and free access to the Internet. The hotel has a nice pool and a great view of the ocean - but the ocean itself is not accessible and the beach in that area is pretty dirty.

Decent place for Subic.
It's not bad for the price and relatively nice compared to other Subic resorts. The room and bathroom are decent sized. Room has powerful a/c and programmable safety box. The pool is ok, it could use a lit bit of water change as it is a little murky. The grounds has cobble bricks that can trip you if you're not careful. The restaurant is open air. Menu is a bit limited. It has a guard around the clock. The only negative is that the beach is public you're constantly being bothered by vendors. It's a nice short walk along the beach to the Arizone floating bar for a drink and chat with the GRO's.

Excellent value for money
Charming little resort. Location was excellent right on the bay as well as a nice enough swimming pool. Food in restaurant was good; free breakfast was lacking. Would have liked brewed coffee, and more than one cup. Lots of options available on the bar menu, however not a lot of actual options available to order due to lack of ingredients. Not a huge problem though. Had a great time abs would go back again.

It needs transport to spot area.
So far so good, but when i go there, i find walk in price is better than us, even with same price, but they provide walk in with 1hr free massage, so its not good to book in net first.
