My family stayed for 3 days and 2 nights. We booked 3 rooms thru booking.com and it happened that the rooms were far from each other, we tried to change it but the whole resort is occupied. So when booking thru a different site, better check the bakasyunan map first before you reserve, unless it doesn't matter if your room is not close to each other. Anyways the resort isn't that big so the walking distance is not that far. The receptionist is not smiling and also when we asked for a room upgrade, they said they don't have any even before checking. Our room (girls room) is a nipa hut named Dinagyang with 4 queen size beds, separate toilet and bath, TV, fridge and terrace, big space which can accommodate 8 pax. Boys room is the executive room with toilet and bath, TV and 2 twin beds enough for 4 pax but since they are 5 we paid for additional mattress. The couples room (mahogany room) has one queen bed with toilet, bath and TV. We had some issues with our nipa room and unfortunately on our first night, I slipped in the shower. I immediately went to the receptionist and asked for the duty manager. Ms. Gloria came and I told her what happened, I also informed her about all the issues that we had with our rooms like sliding door very noisy, showerhead broken, fridge not working etc. She and the whole bakasyunan staff immediately solved the problem and I am very thankful to them. The ground staff helped us a lot specially Ashley, she was very helpful and she assisted us throughout our stay. On our first day since we arrived early we had our lunch in their restaurant. We had bangus, fried chicken, vegetables and sisig. They all tasted great I loved the bangus with garlic butter (yummy) for me the chicken is a bit dry, but there are some items in the menu that are not available, they should update their menu. We had our breakfast in their restaurant throughout our stay. You have to order the night before and inform them of the time in order for them to have ample time to prepare the food. They do ala carte menu for breakfast, but don't expect it to be five-star rate, and ask them first if they will be able to make it or not. I don't recommend the American breakfast it's just vienna sausage with eggs and toast, they do offer Filipino breakfast which is good. You can also buy fresh seafoods from the fishermen by the beach and have it grilled (we bought sugpo). We also bought dried fish (danggit) and had them cook it for breakfast and ordered garlic rice. You will pay corkage if you bring food from outside, but you have food options like ordering Jollibee and Shakeys. We had fun swimming in the pool and beach (black sand with high waves), but the whole place have games and selfie murals that you will also enjoy. Bakasyunan resort Zambales is nice but outdated. They need to upgrade their rooms and services to accommodate paying guests like us and not only for those who are staying one night or team building. They also need to plant Citronella around the p
