La Playa At the Strand

This is an isolated place there is no security guards nor cctv and wifi. Booked october25-26,2018 at Villa francisco.the accomodation is superb for me, beach is childrens friendly. BUT we were rub in the middle of our tightsleep arround 3-4Am friday, we stay in the mainroom which is the beachview. All our celphones gadgets and specially cash were stolen since the sliding door balcony is not safe enough the lock is damage and the rubbers knows where the best room to stole. I am asking help from the mangement if how can they help us since nothing left for us even a sinle cents they said they are not liable for any lose. How come when this is a private resort not a public place! What a shocking TRAUMA for all of us what if one of us woke up and they kill us? But thank GOD we were safe.

My family and I were a huge group and rented out both of the villas of La Playa at The Strand for 2 nights and 3 days. There were signs posted on the street so it was easy to find. The villas were nice and clean and had all the amenities we were looking for. The staff was amazing and helped us whenever we needed them throughout our stay.
The only negative thing I would say is that we weren't aware that they were doing construction on the 3rd floor. We were expecting to have the pool tables and whatever else that was displayed on their website. The construction workers worked throughout our stay and would start super early to the point where it woke us up. I would suggest not having construction going on while you have guests staying at the villa. Not only is it unprofessional but it was disturbing and inconvenient.

Clean, homey, and spacious place for midsize to big families to stay over. Friendly and hospitable staff. My only negative observation is the beach: I don’t know if we just came at the wrong time (there was a storm that we didn’t expect through much of our stay), but the entire beach was filled with all sorts of garbage (bottles, dirty diapers, plastic trash, etc.)! Beach clean up started after the storm, but I doubt that they’ll clean the entire stretch (multiple resorts and vacant lots shared the same beach coast), which I guess has been like that ever since. Overall, our stay has been pleasant. If you’re in for a good indoor space primarily to bond with family and friends, with a small private pool, this is a good option. But don’t expect a clean beach, with white and pristine sand like that of Palawan or Boracay.

Stayed at the Mountain view. Given the choice, I would have chosen the houses in front of the beach but it was fully booked. I like it better there. But the mountain view was more quiet. Bring towels and toiletries, they don't provide. Bring help if you can. No restaurant so bring everything and cook, they have a fully equipped kitchen and a griller so bring charcoal. The Morong market is near if you want to buy fresh produce. Buy your groceries in Subic so you don't need to go out. They have fast internet.

The place is quiet and relaxing. People in the vicinity are courteous and helpful. The house where we stayed was organized, plates, glass/mugs and silverware looked cleaned and tidy - except for the pots and pans that maybe need replacement. Also, there is a awful smell coming from the toilet drainage (ground and second floor) - and it got stronger during the time we were there. By the way, there is a small pool (not chlorinated) that our children enjoyed very much.

Our first day here was a little bit disappointing. Our rented place based on the pictures on the internet were very misleading! It looked like it's inside a very private resort but is literally facing the common road. You'd have to walk by the public road and walk for about 100 meters to reach the beach. It felt like we were just trespassing into the beach actually. Security was also an issue because knowing the fact that our place is facing the common road, the fence dividing the villa can easily be climbed. To add, I didn't see even a single security guard.

On our second day we transferred to their condo type room which is finally facing the beach and finally felt like having a beach vacation. Turns out that with the right accommodation choesen, the place is beautiful.

Main house, beach front, overall decent
no towels
no food/resto (bring/cook your own or order from villa del rey)
mostly complete otherwise
not that private, got a couple of trespassers during our stay.prepare for bugs and frogs
there is a small sari sari store by the road
the private beach locals bring you for island hopping is already closed
snorkelling spot aint that good
(need gardenia bread for the fish)
3k for a few hours for the whole boat
TIP: ask the staff to buy fresh fish/meat/veggies, rice and whatever you need from their palengke.

The place itself is amazing, The view is unmatched, and the staff are topnotch friendly. We stayed at the penthouse and it was clean af. The utensils and appliances are complete.

If you're going to book, book online as that is their priority. Also, the penthouse is amazing but it is on the third floor and has no pool access. We had problems with the water going up but I think it is just by chance that it broke down during the stay. The beach also has a curfew until 6: 30 P. M.

Really nice time with family and great sunset. Only downside was clients next door partying until 4am. Need to be more considerate.

Went there for a vacation. It was very nice, with all the bedrooms having air conditioning and all private bathrooms. The view was also great. The swimming experience was spectacular, as even though I am only 5 foot, I was able to swim very far out due to the shallow water, and the sea floor was soft maritime sand. My only major complaint was that there was a concerningly large amount of trash and whatnots in the water and the beach itself, I've seen everything from straws to various chip and junk food packaging. Around the beach, there were also tiny yellow-gray fish, swimming around.

Lovely beach. Waves are not so strong. We had a good view of the sea where we stayed. Kids swam in pool or beach all day. We also went on a boat trip which allowed us to see another island. Got a glimpse of the Bataan Nuclear Power Plant too. I simply gave a 4-star review because there aren't many stores around.

Nice place to stay. Surprised that they do not provide towels for their guests, being a high-end type resort, this is disappointing.

This is one of the best places to stay in Morong. Very comfortable and all the amenities you need are already prepared for you.

The rooms are like hotel rooms very well kept and pool area is always cleaned the next day ready for use again. There is a grilling area and tent areas on the beach. The sand is even cleaned and rake daily.

Down sides are no internet and cell signal is poor within the house. The satellite TV channels lost its reception must be due to a prepaid thing and that we stayed there crosing over to the next month. Still our experiece was really refreshing. Wont hesitate to comeback here again.

The beach house was so cozy and beautiful with private pool, videoke, clean and dirty kitchen with ref, rooms are all airconditioner, sala, dinning and billiard area at the rooftop.
Good for family weekend getaway.
Good for big family. They have a 4 units i think for a family gathering or a groupy outing, been here last jan. 2017 with my friends and her family.

But the seashores was a little bit dismayed. But if you walk around in the long beach you really appreciated the place.
Still not well establish beach place, if you looking for a beautiful beach and dreaming for a white sand beach?
Go somewhere not here.

We're a group of 25pax, we booked a villa and a penthouse and cooked our own food. I liked everything except:
- The flies in the kitchen
- Not allowed to lounge in the beach at night, probably for safety reasons

Other notes:
- Ice, there's a large supply, just ask the guard for assistance - P100 per plastic
- Island hopping available for P3k for 2hrs, there's a snorkeling area!
- Bonfire needs to be pre-booked, P1k
- No videoke (you can bring your own)

The place is good and the whole villa are clean. We enjoy while we stay. We like the place quiet and not crowded. We're going back again next time

Very calm and quiet place. You will drive through a forest reserve it is an uphill winding and rolling road from SBMA came all the way from Laguna it is easy to find dont miss the road sign pointing to La playa

Nice place to stay. We stayed in the mountain view rooms. The upstairs is one room with two full size beds with a table and couch. It was pretty clean, you just have to bring your own bath towels. Toilet paper was provided.

Great experience staycation. There room for improvement for example. Wifi repeater does not workwell. Like me i travel and work at the same time but all in all the service is quality. Very nice staff and guards and life guard are alert thats why you will feel safe everytime.

Great place. They provide wifi connection. No cellular reception in the area though so working on the road might be difficult.
