Limliwa Beach Resort

Overrated beach. Dirty and noisy. Worse on weekends. The crowd simply doesnt know beach etiquette. ATV running around doesnt give this place a good vibe. Good for budget travelers. You get what you paid for. People who come here are mostly budget travelers. Trash on the beach is everywhere.

We recently stayed at Limliwa Beach Resort, and while the place itself has its charm, there are some things to note. First off, the staff were very helpful and friendly, which we appreciated throughout our stay. They were accommodating and polite, which made our experience smoother in many ways. However, one major downside was the internet situation. There is absolutely no mobile signal across all networks, so if you’re expecting to stay connected, prepare yourself. The resort does have Wi-Fi, but unfortunately, it’s not accessible to guests. It’s only available at the canteen area, and they’re quite strict about not sharing the password. There is a designated Wi-Fi spot near the check-in area, but it’s not a comfortable place to hang out just to get online. Despite this, we still managed to have fun and make the most out of the beach and our time together. The environment is peaceful, and the beach is nice for relaxing or taking photos. That said, because of the poor connectivity and the limited access to basic digital amenities, I wouldn't come back. It’s a decent place for a one-time visit, but not for those who need even minimal internet access during their stay.

This is a review for their restaurant Talisay since we didn't stay at the resort. What the other reviews said were true, there's a fee for everything, and phone signal is atrocious. To skip the entrance fee, you can dine in at the restaurant with a time limit of 2 hours from when your food was served, which is what my group did. They had an electric outlet so I charged my phone, that's why no pictures of the food, sorry. We ordered our food as "take out" so we could enjoy them outside the restaurant dining area and down by the beach. The Meaty Spaghetti was a big serving good as a snack for 2 people or 1 hungry meal. Lechon Kawali was also surprising in size, and well cooked. The butter chicken was 3 pieces, and I can't tell if they used butter or margarine but it was tasty and cooked through. Their drinks of iced coffee and juice with sinkers were good too. They also have service water by the restaurant, just bring a bottle.

Room was affordable compared to others. We availed the 3,500 deluxe8 aircon good for 4pax with own cr. Seems reasonable enough if youre on a budget. Staffs were attentive. They also have a mini bar and mini resto. Overall, our stay was "sulit".

I’m gonna give my very honest review about our one-night stay at Limliwa Beach Resort in Zambales this April. First of all, the place is honestly beautiful — the beachfront setup is super Instagrammable and picture-perfect. But aside from the nice view, I was really disappointed with a lot of things during our stay. We booked a villa for ₱10,000, which was supposed to be good for 8 people. Since we were 10, I paid an additional ₱700 per head for the 2 extra guests. I thought that was reasonable — until we got there and saw how small the room actually was. It couldn’t even fit 8 people comfortably, let alone 10. And to make things worse, the ₱700 per extra head didn’t even include a bed. We still had to pay an extra ₱200 for each additional bed. Like, seriously? That’s just too much. The air conditioning was also a huge letdown. The unit was too small and couldn't handle the size of the room at all. We all woke up in the middle of the night sweaty and uncomfortable. We only managed to sleep because we were so tired, but come on — for the price we paid, can’t they at least provide proper air conditioning so guests can relax and actually enjoy their stay? On top of that, they charge ₱150 corkage *per head* for cooking and bringing food like meat, soft drinks, and other basic stuff. The only things allowed without a fee were chips, bread, fruits, and water. Because of that, we decided to just eat at their restaurant — and honestly, that turned out to be another problem. The food was overpriced and didn’t live up to expectations. Imagine, one grilled small tilapia was ₱300? What a rip-off. And the staff? Not accommodating at all. Some of them even had an attitude. We were just trying to order food because we were hungry, but the way they talked to us was so disrespectful. I even heard other guests saying, “Ano ba ‘yan, kada galaw may bayad,” and it’s so true. That’s exactly how it felt staying there. Limliwa may look great in photos, but based on our experience, it’s not worth it. I hope the management takes this as constructive feedback and works on improving their customer service, transparency, and overall guest experience.
