Positive: - The staff was accommodating, even the guard. - Bayside room (P1,800) is comfortable. Complete with cabled TV, personal ref (with 2 glasses for you to use), working hot and cold shower (which I thought wouldn't work), clean towels, clean pillows and linens, a cabinet with a few hangers for clothes and luggage and a fully functional a/c. -...

Hotel staff are friendly and quick to respond. Try the executive room - cozy and will make you feel at home. Right across the resort is an "eat-all-you-can" place called Rico's Place for 125 Php. If you're on a budget but would not want to compromise comfort, check this out :)

We had an unplanned weekend get away. When we reached Olongapo around 6pm, we checked out different resorts and weighed things carefully --- from the rates, accommodation, packages, pools, beachview, and definitely their relaxing ambiance. Finally, we saw By The Sea Resort. Since it was getting late, only few rooms were available. They allowed us to see the rooms first... More

The left hand does not wash the right and they will ask for dbl payment in a heart beat. Still great view and really can't beat this restaurant for food or... More

At around 3pm of that day, we saw By The Sea Resort and went inside to inquire. The place is clean and they have a... More

My wife and I booked an Executive room at "By the Sea" 3 days in advance. We arrived and had no problem checking into the room. Ours was room #29, on the corner of one of the buildings facing the bay and approximately 15 meters from the water. The room was adequate and clean but nothing fancy whatsoever. The Wi-Fi... More

The resort was nice, clean and the front desk was very accommodating. We stayed at the Bayside Building for an overnight stay which was more than enough for a cheap price. The pool was nice and clean but the beach is starting to show signs of deterioration. Olongapo should do something about this already. Food was ok but service in... More
