Reviewed By MarianaV111 - New York City, United States
I wanted to do a jungle training and saw there were 2 possibilities in Subic: JEST or Pamulaklakin. The first one sounded more commercial so I decided to go for the latter and what a incredible time I had. The Pamulaklakin trail is on Aeta land, an indigenous tribe that lives in the hills. I was by myself and decided to book an overnight stay as well. They provided the tent. My guide, MinMin, picked me up at the trailhead and we started hiking up. He is small (like most of the tribe, but incredibly fast and very knowledgeable. He is proficient in English and knows all the plants and animals. The Aeta are a tribe of @ 500 families. Their village has a school and MinMin works on the family farm. He taught me how to make fire, use a machete, make a trap etc. He also cooked me a meal and set up my tent Then ... we went to visit some of his family. Marilyn, who is the person I had phone contact with and with whom I confirmed my arrival, is incredible! Smart as a whip and very hospitable. Let's just say we ended up singing karaoke at her place later that evening. Incredibly warm people and I truly recommend this experience

Playa La Caleta (which means “Beach Cove”) or PLC for short, is an eco-tourism resort with a 100-hectare cove. Located in the municipality of Morong in the province of Bataan, it has a 1-kilometer white sand beach at the front, lush mountain jungle/forest in the middle and 3 waterfalls at the back. On the left side of the cove is also a 1-hectare islet, called Miguelito Island.

Playa La Caleta is a 60-hectare island located in Morong Bataan, 50-foot waterfall located at the back side of the island reachable in 2-3 hour hike, along with this island is an islet called Miguelito Island. Another popular destination nearby is Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar in Bagac, this will be a superb combination itinerary. So if you're planning a trip to Las Casas why not include Playa La Caleta (PLC) to your list? It'll only take 20 mins from Las Casas to PLC. The proximity and accessibility to Manila makes a perfect weekend getaway plus lesser tourist influx. I was even surprised why these places stay unknown to tourists. Facilities and services available: - PLC has 8 cottages available for their guests , each cottage can fit 6 people (non AC type) - 5 Gazeebo huts that can fit 4 people (non AC type) - Rental store available (camping tents, water sports) - Common restrooms and showers. - Masseus - Tour Guide - 24/7 assistance from their staff (they're very accommodating) How to get to PLC and Miguelito Island? - From Cubao, ride a Bataan Transit or Genesis Bus going to Balanga, Bataan, fare is ₱200 - From Balanga, ride a jeepney to Bagac Public Market, fare is ₱47 - From Bagac Public Market, ride a tricycle going to the port where boats are docked that transport to Playa La Caleta, standard fare is ₱1,800 good for 10pax Expenses: - ₱200 bus going to Balanga, per head. - ₱47 from Balanga to Bagac Public Market, per head. - We bought ₱1,000 worth of supplies that lasted overnight (divided into 4 pax), ₱250 per person - ₱50 tricycle going to port, ₱10 per person (divided into 4 pax) - ₱1,800 for boat ride, round trip, ₱450 per head (divided into 4 pax) - Cottage, ₱2,000 divided into 4 pax, 500 each person - Entrance Fee: ₱100 (Day tour) ₱200 (Overnight) Going Back to Manila - ₱50 tricycle going to Jeepney station, ₱10 per person (divided into 4 pax) - ₱35 Jeepney to bus terminal - ₱200 bus going back to Manila
6. Bataan Nuclear Power Plant
Overall Ratings
4.0 based on 7 reviews
Reviewed By thedecider2015 - Christchurch, New Zealand
Its a nooculer power plant which was built under the Marcos regime but never used due to the Marcos being overthrown followed by the wee accident at Chernobyl. Tour takes an hour and a half and includes a brief slide show on nooculer power (nooculer, its pronounced nooculer) After that you get to see the turbine hall, electric gear, control room and the reactor room which gets you very close to a nooculer reactor. Most such plants you can't go in the reactor dome due to radiation but since this plant was never fuelled, its perfectly safe as no nooculer fission ever took place. Guide was very informative and explains about the design of the plant, the Philippines Govt is still weighing up whether to us the plant and what it would be involved to do so. A must visit for anyone with an interest in nooculer power.

Our family definitely enjoyed our overnight stay in this beautiful place. We are all residents of olongapo and this is our second time to be here after many years. We love the development, the cleanliness and the politeness of all staff and crew..The assistance from the reception all the way to our checkin and check out were truly memorable and will for sure be back again on the next occasion.

We spent 2 hours while on a stop from our cruise ship at Subic Bay. Getting there on the Jeep minibus was an experience by itself! The place is very well run and clean, with good safety measures including mandatory life jackets. There are rides for any level, including very high and scary ones! Highly recommend if you happen to be in Subic Bay.

We enjoyed staying here. Here are the reasons why: 1. Lot's of pools and slides 2. Beach activities 3. Food is great (They even gave us a free fruit platter) 4. Staffs are friendly, great customer service - they will anticipate your needs (if we need extra chairs, extra table, slippers, need the whirlpool to run and etc), will make suggestions (I was craving for coffee but since I am pregnant - I am avoiding caffeine. One of their staffs suggested an alternative), very polite (everyone will greet you and they all wear a smile). 5. Clean rooms and facilities
