A Trip to Whiterock Beach Resort

http://www.whiterock.com.ph

Located @ Bo. Matain, Subic, Zambales just 8 minutes away from SBMA and 2 hours drive from Balintawak toll plaza.

I really had a great time staying at Whiterock Hotel-Resort and it is also a pleasure working with Living Asia(former LakbayTV). Thanks to my good friend Jackie Christian Lorenzana.

Whiterock Beach Resort for me is define as a perfect getaway for families or larger groups (it is boasts with complete resort amenities) who are looking for a beach that is not far away from Manila. I am recommending this one.
It is virtually Tsunami-free bec it is bounded by beautiful mountains so you can free your mind from worries and simply concentrate on having a great time.

Whiterock's beach sand is so fine and softy, its color is not so white but not so gray. This is what i love about this beach... its "sand" (maraming beach resorts sa subic na mabato). As i've heard the history of this resort, its sand is made out of lahar or volcanic ash due to the last explosion of mount pinatubo, Whiterock were among those that were greatly affected. The whole place was buried in lahar. Accdng to the Chairman of Whiterock.... "Through sheer determination, we survived making the lahar part of the attraction by incorporating it within our existing beach. We actually transported tons from nearby Mt. Pinatubo allowing for a bigger expanse of sandy beach,” he said.

Boredom is out of the question... Lazy afternoons may be spent at the playground with the children or take a relaxing siesta on a hammock in one of the resort’s Mediterranean-style cabanas or in its verdant garden.

Choose your day's activity with the resort's recreational facilities--jet skiing, kayaking, island hopping, snorkeling, or go riding on a banana boat or on a traditional banca (boat). You can also try improving your swing at the resort's driving range or try scoring a strike at the bowling lanes. We're supposed to do parasailing, flyfish, ktv, sanctuario spa and even try their gym but i already have a scheduled work the next day so have to leave after dinner :(


Rooms - i suggest the beach front rooms. Prices ranging from 5k-10k per day depends on how many people. Their rooms and bathrooms are very clean. I've read some comments regarding the resort's old rooms(deluxe room). I've seen it and i also stayed there and I did'nt have any bad experience. But its rate is a bit lower than the new ones.


How to get there...

By Land: Via North Expressway, exit San Fernando northward to Subic Toll way, exit Kalaklan Gate. Left until you reach km post 134 and White Rock signpost.

By Sea: Daily ferry trips from CCP Complex to Orion, Bataan and short land drive via Dinalupihan to Subic Bay Tollway.
