| Lighthouse Marina Resort |
 |
| Our assigned suite |
Considered as the number 1
hotel among 17 in Subic, the 3-storey Lighthouse Marina Resort, owned by the
Avecilla shipping clan, is a sleek and ultra-modern 34-room boutique hotel
capped by a 20-m. high lighthouse. Designed by the architectural firm
Palafox Associates in almost austere Italian architecture, it has an elegantly
simple facade.
Its warmly appointed
airconditioned suites have king-size beds, a 42-inch, wall-mounted LCD cable
TV, minibar, fridge, coffee/tea facility, IDD phone, writing desk, DVD/MP-3
player, in-room safe and electronic door lock. The bathroom has glass
walls (with electronically raised or lowered curtains for privacy). A
novelty, though, is its free-standing tub reminiscent of Old World baths.

| The resort's icon |
The white and maroon
lighthouse, the resort's icon and the most photographed landmark in the port,
was done in surprisingly detail very faithful to naval architecture
specifications. Fronting the swimming pool, the tower is home to
the 720 London Music Bar, its counter, which accommodates 15, is shaped like a
ship's bow.
The tower has
a stunning, panoramic view of Subic's harbor. The grand, high-ceiling
lobby has huge floor-to-ceiling clear glass windows, an ensemble of
Citterio-inspired lounge furniture and a grand piano, all done in beige
colors. Sands Al fresco offers sumptuous grilled food, seafood, Mediterranean
and international cuisine. Wi-fi service is great here.
