Weekend getaway to Subic Bay (Olongapo)

Monday, March 15th, 2010

This past weekend we decided to get outside of the traffic and make our way to the beaches of Subic Bay and Olongapo. We arrived there and stayed 1 night in Subic Park Hotel (link), it was ok, but a little bit too quiet for our taste. We ate at Daddy Eds restaurant, it’s open 24 hours/day which is nice and it’s good food to have right there on the beach.

The following day, Saturday, we transferred to the Blue Rock Resort (link) and we liked this area MUCH better, the Blue Rock Hotel and Resort has great food open 24hrs/day and at night they have a live band that is very pleasant, really soothing style of band, almost like a karaoke band that is just very good, not loud. There is a floating bar, great to go during the day, you can eat, drink ice cold beers, and go jetskiing and swimming all right there at Blue Rock!

We even took a nice day trip over to White Rock Resort (link), they have 2 wave pools, and waterslides, and also on the beach, it was nice as the sun went down, the sunset picture I have there is from White Rock Resort beach area.

And if you love tacos then I suggest eating the biggest taco in the world, there at Coffee Shop Tacos (link) they have MASSIVE tacos!!!!

Some pics from our trip:
