All Hands Beach Resort

It's a NO-NO to go late to a resort during summer weekends in Subic, as walk-in guests, particularly on a Saturday.  It seems everyone is heading to the beach during that time.  Everyone wanted to beat the intense heat!



the beach - lahar covered beach, thus it look like a white beach



Inside Subic, there are only four beach resorts - Camayan, Adventure, Sands of Triboa and All Hands.  For day tours, advanced reservations for the cottages are not allowed.  They all observe the "first come first serve policy".  

Our original plan is to go to Camayan but since we came late (we still cooked, ate breakfast and bathe...and we are 20 people in a villa taking turns with 2 bathrooms only), there are no more available cabanas for us.  The resort is jam packed, too.  We decided to go to the other resorts.  Adventure and Sands of Triboa are both exclusively reserved for company outings.

Finally, we ended with the last beach resort left - All Hands Beach Resort.  I would not go there if there is another option.  Why?  the entrance fee is ridiculously expensive - Php 500.00 per head.  What pissed me off is when I learned that Php 150.00 (of the total entrance fee) is for the SBMA.  Kainis diba???  However, this entrance fee already included the usage of cottages, griller and shower room.  It is still expensive compared to Camayan's (and Camayan has better beach and facilities).

Anyways, as I've said we have no other option available and the kids were already excited to swim.

All Hands has a short beach shoreline with lots of cottages - from small to large groups.  There is also a tent type cottage fronting the beach.  You can go anywhere you preferred to stay, that is, if it is still unoccupied.

Aside from cottages, they also offer rooms for overnight stay.  They offer Php1,125.00 per head for a group of four.  This includes breakfast, beach usage and room accomodation.  This is affordable I guess.  I just didn't inquire if you still have to pay additional P150.00 for the SBMA's tax.

Included in the amenities are: coffee shop, souvenir shop, bar, grilling area, outdoor shower and shower rooms.  You can bring your own food (and you better bring since food in the resto costs double).

For water activities, they offer kayaking, para sailing, jetsky and banana boating.

Overall, it's neat enough for an outing.

What I like most with this resort is their drive to save the turtles.  They help in conserving the environment.  I hope all of the resorts will also do the same.  I want to return to witness the turtle hatching.  It's always been a high light watching turtles walk towards the sea after they hatch.  It's one of nature's marvels.
