Angeles Beach Club

Don Juico Avenue, Malabanias Road, Angeles City, Clark, Philippines

                             

Price Range: $$$$                                 Amenities:

Just came back from a 3 day stay in March 2014 and the Angeles Beach Club is still in my book, the Best Hotel of the Philippines for solo or group travelers looking to immerse themselves fully in the girlie bar scene. Their suites are simply amazing and look like something straight out of the playboy mansion with spectacular over the top decor of red and gold coloured walls, velvet padded bedheads and blue neon lights. All this might sound a little tacky at 1st but it really works out great once you try it out and bring back a few bar girls, you will feel like a king from the moment you enter as you see the ladies go nuts in the place!

Room Amenities include an awesome King-size bed (only second to those of Shangri-La Hotels in terms of comfort), Living room area with chesterfield sofa set overlooking a 40" LCD TV with plenty of English speaking channels to chose from including six adult ones, very modern glass covered bathroom area with big round tub that can fit 3 people, separate toilet with it's own auto-flush urinal, separate shower cabin with five adjustable jets, remote controlled room mood lighting for all rooms, individual WiFi router for fast internet, champagne/wine chiller, bulging mini-bar with just about everything imaginable, ultra quiet A/C unit, walk in closet with safe, sound bar and much more.

Although there's a lots of activity going on in & around the hotel, the suites are very well insulated. You don't hear any noise from outside or other rooms so no problem either rocking the house if you want to party hard without being worried of disturbing any others guests.

What the ABC Hotel also does great is provide a necessary escape to the run down infrastructure of Angeles city when you want some downtime. At night when you are having a drink at one of the bar surrounding the pool with real sand at your feet you feel like you're having a nice drink at the beach rather than the town of Clark.

This hotel knows exactly what is: A 1st class, 1 of a kind 5-star resort located right next to the biggest red light district of the Philippines, knows who it is catering to and has a lot of fun doing it! The staff are always extremely friendly, helpful, courteous, professional and treat you like kings.  The Angeles Beach Club Hotel amenities include among other things a rooftop bar, two swimming pools with real sand, jacuzzi, swim-up bar & swim-up restaurant, lounge, spa, gym, barber shop & helipad for fast transfers to Manila airport.

Not for nothing they are Ranked #1 on TripAdvisor for Angeles City as well as Travellers' Choice 2014 Winner in Top Hotels of the Philppines category.

 Bottom line: There might be less expensive places to stay but Angeles Beach Club Hotel makes up for the price difference in terms of room furnishings, excellent customer service and overall 5 -star experience. Definitely worth the extra $$$  in my opinion. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

Oh by the way, want to avoid that rush hour traffic? The ABC Hotel also offers a helicopter service from it's rooftop for a flat rate of 12500 PHP (280$) to Manila and it's airport.

Orchid Inn Resort

109 Raymond Street, Angeles City, Clark, Philippines | Distance: Fields Avenue (50 m)

    

Price Range: $$/$$$                                       Amenities:

The Orchid Inn Resort is another hotel with a great central location just 50 meters from the main Angeles strip on the more quiet Raymond street loop. The hotel facilities include two 24-hour bar/restaurants, one just at the front entrance that has an ATM inside so you can cash up without even leaving the premise and one besides the pool. Rooms have all you need as far as amenities go though some are starting to show their age but with prices starting around 40$ they still are a bargain. I booked their mid-range Superior Deluxe room which had plenty of space to move around in and came equipped with: Comfy King size bed, LCD TV with lots of channels to chose from, large fridge, good Wi-Fi signal, seating area with table and chairs, electronic safe large enough to fit my laptop inside, decent bathroom with a basic selection of free toiletries and a hot/cold water shower. Staff are a friendly bunch and good at their job, the owners are Australian and the management is Canadian so the place is really well run. The Orchid Inn Resort is very guest friendly so no problem bringing back girls to your room, security is discreet but effective they will always make call you to sure your guest are ok to leave.

So in the end yes, there are more luxurious hotels options in Angeles city, there are cheaper ones, there are newer ones but the price/quality ratio and overall experience at  the Orchid Inn is pretty damn good.

I booked their entry level deluxe room facing Fields avenue. Was quite a pleasant experience to be able to sit at your mini balcony to observe the 24 hour a day activity going on on walking street. Rooms  have have plenty of space,  bed and pillows were very comfortable, has a big flat screen TV on the wall, good water pressure (which is hard sometimes to get in the Philippines), well stocked mini-bar, whole property is served by flawless WiFi signal, A/C worked perfectly, in-room safe, etc all the essentials are covered. Personally the noise didn't worry me much at night just a very light background noise those buit for those who are light sleepers should request a room in the back. Hotel also has a a street level cafe which is nice for people watching. Staff is attentive and friendly, Overall a very nice experience would have no problems recommending this hotel. à

Quest Plus Conference Center Clark

Mimosa Leisure Estate, Angeles City, Clark, Philippines

  

Price Range: $$$$                              Amenities:

I suppose you all know already what you are getting with the Holiday Inn chain, but this particular branch surpassed my usual expectations.

The downside is the location as you'll need a 10 mins taxi ride to reach the Angeles and it's nightlife. The hotel does provide a 24/7 car to town and currently charges 300 Pesos (7$) each way.

Guest Friendly policy reply by The Quest Plus Conference Center Clark: Greetings from the Quest Plus Conference Center Clark!  The hotel do not charge additional fee for a joiner, the only time we charge if you will exceed to the room capacity which is 2 adults and 2 children per room.
