A Mediterranean paradise has emerged at Subic Bay, right in the heart of this tourism hub.
Located along the Moonbay Marina Waterfront Road, this newly-built "Vista Marina Hotel & Resort" appears like the crowning jewel of the bay, attracting local and foreign tourists to its enchanting ambiance.
This magnificent Mediterranean-style hotel with a large pea-shaped swimming pool nestled at the beach of Subic to showcase the glory of its sun, sea, and sand.
"Vista Marina is a first-class international hotel and resort complex with five-star amenities that enable guests to experience paradise whether by day or by night," said Vista Marina president Sang Woo Lee.
"Our 230-square-meter Ibizza swimming pool is the biggest along the Waterfront Road and complements the beach, where various water sports can be played, including volleyball," Lee pointed out.
Vista Marina is only five minutes away from Subic’s other sports and tourist attractions, especially the golf course and the seaside airport that services international flights, including to and from Korea twice weekly. As such, foreign golfers can play upon checking in at Vista Marina, which offers airport shuttle service to tourists.
From the outside, Vista Marina appears like a pair of outstretched arms welcoming guests as they arrive. The hotel’s spacious lobby, which is designed as an atrium with a high round ceiling at the center, is enclosed by glass walls and doors. "Thus, guests, upon entering the lobby, are greeted by the spectacular view of the garden, the pool, the beach, the bay, and the mountains," Lee said.
By night, this hotel and resort complex is fully-lighted, both inside and out as it sits on a 5,800-sqm prime property, the largest at the beachfront along Subic’s entertainment strip, where practically everything a tourist needs can be found.
At the Marista Bar & Restaurant, guests can have sumptuous international cuisine at the restaurant, a private dinner in its VIP room, and a great time at the bar while enjoying the scenery at the same time. The restaurant can accommodate from 50 to 60 people, the VIP room up to 20, and the bar up to 70. The restaurant is open from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., and the bar from 4 p.m. to 2 a.m.
Across the Marista Bar & Restaurant and the Ibizza pool is a gazebo, where bands play invigorating and romantic music on Saturday nights as guests dance in revelry.
For entrepreneurs and corporate executives, the hotel has a fully equipped business center at the ground floor, and a big conference room at the third floor for groups of up to 100 persons. Souvenir items are available at the hotel’s boutique at the lobby.
On both ends of the lobby are the hotel’s east and west wings that house its elegant rooms. This three-floor hotel has 37 big rooms, the largest in Subic. Excluding the veranda, the deluxe room has a floor area of 32 sqm, the junior suite 40 sqm, and the executive suite 62 sqm. The deluxe room has either a queen-size or two single beds, and a 21-inch TV, while the suite (junior & executive) has a living room with sala set and 29-inch TV, and a bedroom with single and queen-size beds, study table, and a 21-inch flat TV.
Every room has hot and cold shower with bathtub, individual airconditioning unit, cable TV, telephone, mini-bar, safety deposit box, and a veranda overlooking either the bay or the mountains, or both. All rooms have complimentary coffee for guests. Most of the hotel’s furniture and furnishings were imported from Korea.
The hotel also provides 24-hour security, valet, housekeeping, and room service.
