Subic Pearl Beach Resort

After the Hot Air Balloon Festival, we went to Subic Pearl Beach Resort. It took us around 2 hours from Clark to Subic.

 

 The parking lot is a bit cramped. It barely fit 6 cars.

 

We bought a voucher from Ensogo for 1 room which is good for 8 persons max for PHP4500. There are 3 queen sized beds and 1 sofa bed. There is also a bath room inside.
