Ease of Travel

Proximity and ease of travel are always a concern for many people who are trying to escape the hustle and bustle of life in the metropolis. Just less than a year ago, Subic was a grueling three to four hour drive from the city capital. Today, all roads lead to a tranquil location, a journey of heightened leisure, traversing through a scenic paved ultra majestic highway newly built to serve as the main vain of the Manila-Subic connection. the Subic Clark Tarlac Expressway.

For a relaxing, and inexpensive travel, the flicker of light at the Lighthouse Marina Resort just got brighter. A perfect vacation haven away from home just got closer.

Hotel Details
Location

The Lighthouse Marina Resort is a three-floor, 34-room boutique hotel capped by a lighthouse. The hotel is sleek and ultra-modern in its Palafox-designed architecture. Done in almost austere Italianate architectonics with its elegantly simplistic hotel façade, the hotel main building provided a perfect compliment to the 20 meter light tower done in surprising detail very faithful to naval architecture specifications. It’s exclusive location hidden in the midst of the busy Waterfront Road makes it the ultimate haven of retreat. The Lighthouse was established about two years ago to provide transient residence to executives of business locators of the Subic free port zone; and for tourists who frequent the port more for its sailing and eco-tourism than its business.

Rooms

Comfort and elegance, the guiding concept behind our 34 roomsThere are four types of rooms: Aqua Room, Aqua Terrace, Aqua Veranda and Aqua Spa Suite with different bed configuration composed of a super king sized bed, two twin single beds or two queen size beds. Each offers plush features, including a 42" colored LCD TV mounted on the wall with a separate DVD player, a fully-stocked refrigerator and mini bar, ultra comfort mattresses with lush pillows and fabrics, individually controlled air-conditioning, coffee and tea making facilities, in-room personal safe, internet access, and a stunning bay view for the Aqua Verandas, while a breathtaking mountain view for the Aqua Terraces. The piece de resistance though, would be the glass walled bathroom with a freestanding tub, reminiscent of old world bathrooms.

Bathroom Experience

The bathroom is tastefully designed to pamper and offer total comfort for guests. Each bathroom has a selection of body and bath amenities, terry cotton bathrobes and towels, cotton slippers, a rainforest shower head and hand shower, separate glass enclosed shower, and for the Aqua Terraces and Verandas, a floating bath tub. Aqua Spa Suites are a notch higher with its Jacuzzi tub.

Sands Resto Grill

Dine at Sands Resto grill and discover a wealth of gastronomic delights at the hotel’s all-day dining mecca. Satisfy your cravings for sumptuous grills, seafood and international cuisine. Whet your appetite with the weekend buffet at the al fresco. Tempt your taste buds with an assortment of heavenly desserts or simply enjoy a soothing cup of coffee while being mesmerized by the luscious landscape.

720 Bar

A trendy and polished nightspot located on the base of the illustrious Lighthouse Tower, this contemporary designer’s lounge offers a panoramic view of Subic Bay while pulsating the latest mixes and sounds. Styled with grace and unconventional furnishings, The 720 Bar is brimming with elegance and style. Guests can enjoy a wide selection of gastronomic delights from the 720 Bar’s eclectic menu, complemented by an extensive wine selection and unique specialty cocktails and mock tails throughout the evening.

**Sands Resto Grill and 720 Bar are open for functions and private parties.**

Zest for unforgettable equinimity…

The hotel does not focus on adventure weekends, but on relaxation and rejuvenation. Although various water sports facilities in the marina like jet skis and sail boats are at their guests’ disposal, the hotel’s main concentration is in providing that quiet bliss city-dwellers rarely experienced in the urban jungle.

Life’s little pleasures

Bask under the sun in the resort’s private pool embraced by exotic flora… drift away reading your favorite novel… sooth your tired mind and body with our signature in-room massage… or simply sip margaritas at high tea… the choice is yours, the pleasure to serve you is ours.

Social Gathering

Memories to last a lifetime… undoubtedly, the most spectacular location in Subic Bay. Whatever the celebration, our Banquet Team will be at hand to make sure you make memories and forget all the worries. Weddings, anniversaries, birthdays, debuts, kiddie parties and every precious life moment will be handled with utmost care and creativity. Indoor or outdoor, the Lighthouse team promises you the most stunning and unforgettable event.

Business

Room for business, certainly. Let our Meetings Team help spell success for your corporate gathering from an intimate group of 20 to a tony reception of 150 persons. Spaces to suit every purpose: conferences, presentations, product launchings and performances. Conduct your trainings and teambuilding activities in a most stimulating and inspiring setting. Efficient service, catering capabilities, state of the art facilities and dedication to details are the least of the Lighthouse can offer.

Worth mentioning…

The Lighthouse has been in the limelight several times, from television series, motion pictures, news and public affairs, music videos, game shows, talk shows, and commercials. The hotel has been dubbed as the most photographed building in Subic Bay. Its tower has been recognized as a symbol of modern lifestyle and the new Subic Bay.Lighthouse is also known for its involvement in the sailing community. It has been a promoter and supporter of different water sports competitions. The Lighthouse even has a sailing team that has been competing and has won several titles both here and abroad. The Lighthouse was inspired by the love of water and it is through this that the hotel is devoted to preserve and protect the beauty of Subic Bay waters.
