Crystal Beach Resort Zambales, "Quiet, Simple and Charming Beach Resort in San Narciso Zambales"

Crystal Beach Resort Zambales

If you're itching for a quick getaway or looking for beach destination near Manila, Crystal Beach Resort is one of the best resorts to go in Zambales. Just 4 hours away from the Metro, it offers nice accommodations, lovely beach suitable for surfing, great-tasting food and an array of activities to do while having an awesome beach bumming adventure in Zambales.

Crystal Beach Resort Zambales

Located at San Narciso, Zambales, Crystal Beach Resort is an expansive beach front resort that offers several hectares of gray sand beach dotted with aguho trees with a relaxed and intimate vibe. It is a favorite destination among surfers and is one of the popular surfing spots closest to Manila.

Crystal Beach Resort Zambales

Though Crystal Beach Resort is known among surfers, it has also gained popularity among beach lovers, weekenders and beach bums who simply just want to get a quick getaway away from the busy metropolis.

Crystal Beach Resort Zambales

Just last month, after spending 3 days in Balanga Bataan, we went to Crystal Beach Resort for a much-needed surfing adventure.

Crystal Beach Resort Zambales

Upon entering the resort, we were warmly welcomed by the resort's friendly staff. Since we already have a reservation, checking-in was a breeze. It only took us about 5 minutes and we were quickly assisted to our room.

Crystal Beach Resort Zambales

Our room is named Abraham Attic which is located just a few meters away from the beach. As the name suggests, it is located in an attic with 2 single beds that has comfortable foam mattresses coupled with clean white sheets and pillows.

The room is very basic. It has a television set with cable channels, an airconditioning unit, a lamp and a veranda overlooking the beach. Though very basic, the room is clean and well organized.

My favorite part of the room are the verandas in front and at the back which gives you a very nice view of the beach. Since it was already late afternoon when we arrived, we were greeted with a stunning view of the sunset as seen from our room's veranda. It is so lovely!

Crystal Beach Resort Zambales

The toilet and bath is located outside the room. It is also very basic but complete with hot and cold shower, water closet with bidet, bath towels and basic toiletries such as shampoo, bath soap and dental kit.

As I love watching sunsets, I quickly went to the beach and enjoyed the breathtaking view of the setting sun. I sat on one cottages and enjoyed the magical view of the sunset. As the sun drowned in the horizon, its rays fill the sky with radiant and fiery colors. I was mesmerized as the sun slowly disappeared in the horizon, it's like a painting done right in front of me. Truly amazing!

When it got totally dark, we went back to our room and prepared for dinner.

Crystal Beach Resort Zambales

The following morning, we had the complimentary breakfast at King Solomon's Hall which is the resort's restaurant located near the reception area. Every booking comes with complimentary breakfast where you may choose from their wide selection of breakfast meals. You may also add other dishes by choosing from their menu. Every Sundays when the resort is jam-packed with weekenders, they offer buffet breakfast. I will write more about the meals we had on my next post.

The whole morning were spent just seeing things around the resort. Since we arrived late the previous day, this is our chance to really appreciate how lovely the resort is.

We planned to surf that morning before we checkout of the resort. But unfortunately, there were no waves at the time. :(

Crystal Beach Resort Zambales

Still unsatisfied and "bitin" with our overnight stay, we decided to extend our vacation for another night. So, we went to the front desk and inquired if our room is still available . Luckily, no one was booked that night. So, we booked it and extended our stay for another night. Thanks to the resort's manager for giving us 10% discount for our room accommodation. :)

Crystal Beach Resort Zambales

We spent the whole afternoon just enjoying the resort, walking along the beach, eating, relaxing and watching the kid surfers enjoying the waves. We were hoping that we could also surf that afternoon but the waves are too small, only the kids can ride it.

On our 3rd day at the resort, one of the resort's staff told us that the waves are now just perfect for us to learn surfing. Woohoo! So, the whole morning of our 3rd day in the resort was spent enjoying the beach and learning how to surf.
