Subic Bay Freeport Zone (SBFZ) has grown to become one of the country’s most important economic and ecotourism zones, with duty-free shops, wreck diving, water sports, sunset cruises, and guided jungle treks taking prime spot in to-do lists.

With the wealth of things to do in Subic, hotels continue to burgeon in the former US Naval base. And where hip hotels are concerned, there’s one that stand outs among its peers: Best Western Plus Hotel Subic.

Top-of-the-line amenities

Best Western Plus Hotel Subic rests on an easily accessible spot in Dewey Avenue, a short walk from bargain shopping and water sports action. For those on a hunt for cheap gadgets and home appliances, a SAVERS Appliances outlet can be found on the second level.

The hotel’s proximity to Clark International Airport makes it popular with business travelers looking for a cozy spot to sleep in for the night. It offers useful amenities such as dry cleaning, free local and international calls, and a 24-hour business center equipped with fax, printers, and computers. Meanwhile, conferences may be held in an events hall at the ground floor.

The rooftop infinity pool and jacuzzi, Sky Oasis Pool, overlooks Subic Bay and the Cawag mountains and remains the biggest tourist draw to date, particularly for couples. On a cloudless dusk, sunset colors shimmer against the lap and kiddie pools, making for dramatic frolicking.

A well-equipped gym lies just steps away from the pool, available for use from 6 am until 10 pm.

Worthy grub

Surrounding the pool area is High Tide Pool and Cafè where you can grab cocktails and hard drinks until 10 pm. Sumptuous finger foods, sandwiches, and juices are on offer too.

For formal dining, there’s Spencer’s Fusion Bar & Restaurant at the hotel lobby, which offers a vast selection of mouthwatering Filipino and Western dishes, from pastas to lechon kawali to cakes 24 hours daily. Complimentary buffet breakfast, consisting of Continental, Oriental, and Filipino cuisine, is served here.

Next to Spencer’s is Jack’s, renowned for its delicious cocktails. However, if you prefer to stay snuggled up in bed, you can take advantage of the in-room spa and room service until 11 pm.

Comfortable and accessible rooms

On site are 77 tastefully designed air conditioned accommodations (67 junior and deluxe rooms and a collection of Family, Presidential, and Executive suites) designed for maximum comfort. All are equipped with free high-speed WiFi, LED TV with cable channels, safety deposit box, coffee and tea making facilities, fridge, mini-bar, data ports, a spacious bathroom, and a rollway couch for enjoying in-room movies. Turndown service is also available at your disposal.

It’s one of a few business hotels in the area that offer wheelchair-accessible rooms and facilities, including parking.

Exceptional service

Best Western Plus Hotel Subic boasts the signature hospitality that the Best Western hotel chain has been known for worldwide: warm, attentive, and expedient. Such hospitality rings true for its multilingual staff, from housekeeping and kitchen to front desk and security.
