What I like about this resort, it's surrounded by towering Agoho Trees ( Resembles a pine tree in appearance.). It's pleasing and relaxing to the eyes. Aside from that, the team of staff is very friendly and accomodating.
This Instagrammable spot in Liwliw has a restaurant that serves affordable and delicious Filipino cuisines. I highly recommend the Bagnet Bowl which is their best seller. Ola Beach, the name of the restaurant, also offers refreshing beverages and alcoholic drinks like beer and cocktails.
Activities to indulge in the area include swimming, surfing, and drinking sessions with a bonfire and ATV by the beach.
Overall, I enjoyed my stay in Zambali Beach Resort. It provides guests with clean, comfortable, and budget-friendly accommodations. Not to mention, their food is superb! The resort is perfect for those who want to recharge and escape the crowd in the city.
