芒果海濱度假村 (Mangos Beachfront Resort)

kay, here's my take on Mango's Beachfront Resort in Olongapo, based on what I've seen: If you're heading to Olongapo, especially for diving, Mango's Beachfront Resort has some definite pros. The location is right on the beach, which is a big plus, and the staff are consistently praised for being super friendly and helpful. The restaurant has good food, and you can enjoy it with a view of the ocean. They've also got a dive center right there, which is really convenient if you're planning on doing some underwater exploring. However, be aware that the rooms can be hit-or-miss. Some of the standard rooms seem to be quite outdated and a bit rough around the edges – think things like mold and noisy AC. If you can, it's worth upgrading to a superior or king room, as those seem to be much better. Also, while it's a beachfront resort, the beach itself isn't necessarily the best for swimming. And just a heads up, there's no pool on the property. So, to sum it up: Mango's is a good choice if you prioritize location and friendly service, especially if you're a diver. But, be sure to choose your room carefully, and don't expect a pristine beach for swimming.

It’s an ideal location if you’re there for clubs and if you’re not driving due to limited parking spaces. It’s not very relaxing because it’s close to the main road, you’ll hear all types of vehicles and their exhaust pipes all day and all night from the room. The floor and bathroom are clean enough for me, but the bed, pillows, and the leather headboard need to be replaced, they smell really bad, fresh linens and pillow cases won’t even help. The AC struggles to keep cool on day time, but cools enough on night time. The staff are all nice and responsive, which I like the most about the place.

The hotel is not suitable for a quiet stay, everything is old and noisy. Noise from the road, noise from the bar which was right below our room. Don't recommend it if you are looking for relaxing stay. This hotel urgently needs the renovation, everything was falling apart in the room. The location is right on the beach. The beach is ok. On the positive note, the capuchino there was very good for my taste, so at least enjoyed morning sun and coffee on the beach. Think twice when you book this hotel.
