Crystal Beach Resort is located at the heart of San Narciso, Zambales.
I always heard about Crystal Beach Resort before it get's famous in Facebook. I've always wanted on the beach. Wearing Swimsuits, get tanned, sip coconut with my wavy hair and the breeze. Haaay, I feel I belong in beach talaga. Or Am I a Mermaid? Lols. Hahaha. 😂😂 I told to my boyfriend about this resort and our friend(Dex) wants to join us with her girlfriend(Mich).
So I contacted the resort immediately on their facebook. After I messaged them, they called me on my phone and explained all the amenities, and what is the inclusion of the package I refer. Honestly, my boyfriend and I really wanted/favorite a camping style (tent). That's why I told to the admin that we we're okay with Tent Accommodation only. Then the admin gave us the details for the bank payment and gave us a 48 hours for the reservation. The required reservation is 50% only, then the other 50% will be the day of your tour. Btw we booked a 2D1N only.
Below are the details about the Tent Accommodation package:
750/person with:
- Entrance
- Matt
- Pillow
- and 250 pesos consumable food and drinks
You can either took a Victory Liner Bus or Saulog which is the only way to Olongapo or Iba Zambales. But for us, we chose Victory Liner Bus at Cubao, Quezon City. When we arrived at the terminal, they were so so many passengers, as in! Haay, I didn't know that we can book a reservation online at their website. Our check in time is 2pm, thankfully Dex and Mich already in the resort before we got there (Because they from Pampanga lang).
How to go?:
☑ When you're already on board, tell the driver to drop you off at San Narciso/San Sebastion Church. Fare is: 306pesos/one way only.
Actually I thought we already get lost because we traveled for 4 hours already. But don't worry because the bus always stopped in San Sebastian Church because they had so many passengers pala that are going to the resort. Haha.
☑ Then take a trike and tell to drop you at Crystal Beach Resort, they already know that. Fare is 15pesos/person. 5-10min only.
I thought the accomodation was only one tent and it's good for 4 pax already but my friend called me and said the tent they gave is two. Wow! Super nice Crystal Beach 😊
The place was so relaxing! Not crowded. As far as I know they maintained the crowd for the resort, so they limit the reservations for only 400 people/day. Super ganda! Though it's not truly a white sand but super fine sand naman. Expect that the beach has super wave, that's why this resort offers a Surfing session. Their surfing session price is 400pesos/hour 😊 My friend Mich took this session and we saw that she really enjoyed 😄
We didn't know that every Saturday, they had Acoustic Night at the beach with fireworks display and Fire Dancing which is the employee's itself are the dancers! Awesome! So relaxing talaga! :) We sitted in a small pillow with small desks also, while listening in the singer which is I don't remember the name. Haha. You can drink while you're listening, they offer also a beer's. I think the Acoustic finished by 2am, I didn't know because I feel already sleepy areound 11pm. Haha. And I heard the fireworks around 2am already.
We use our 250pesos consumable food and drink for breakfast. They had buffet breakfast (breakfast only) for 285 pesos. So we add 35pesos for our stub to avail the buffet. The food was soooooo good! Super sulit. Huhu. I wanna go back again. The staff was so friendly and nice also. You can also charge your phones/powerbanks at the canteen.
Overall, my reviews for Crystal Beach Resort are 5 star all! The food, the place, the accomodation, all was Excellent! This is our favorite resort so far! 😁 Especially if we want to relax from our busy life, chos busy work pala. Haha 😂
Thank you so much Crystal Beach Resort! We'll go back here again 😊

UPDATED AS OF 2018:
We we're planning to go back here again this 2018 and I see there's a little changes about the prices and accommodations. They are no longer offering a per person package for tent. See here for the prices range of rooms, glamping tent and Normal tent.
