Wild Orchid is a decent hotel with friendly staff, good food, great pool, and a nice location. My only complaints are minor but considering the price I paid, I'll mention them. The closet doors at first were stuck (immediately repaired), but there was never any hot water in the shower during our stay and the TV didn't have cable or satellite channels, only YouTube etc. The AM can be noisy with karaoke, loud music and some events in the garden, but over all the room was very spacious and modern with ample desk and table space. I'd stay here again.

I stayed in the beachfront room, only 30 second walk to the beach. The staff was very accommodating, very nice, and very tentative with the guest. High praises on their people's skills. Nothing really negative to here. An infusion of revenue would help with some upgrades. But the tourism traffic is very now. Hopefully the will change in the near future. Smiles all around. I'll be back

Property conditions are very poor with no upkeep. Wiring, a/c, and pool plumbing are Gerry rigged to work. Serious decline over the years since it reopened 15-18 years ago. Elevator door takes 2-3 tries to close. Linen was very old. Extras blankets and towels cost a surcharge! Many pool tiles are broken and in disrepair. Food was poor and overcharged.

Positives: Staff are very attentive and friendly. Food taste great at the main restaurant. Pool good enough. Negatives; rooms are so dusty with lots of mosquitoes. The bathrooms are dirty, the bed, curtains, bed sheets and towels are so old, seems they never replaced them since the hotel was built. Hotel and surroundings are in disrepair. Pictures from the web site was misleading. They were old photos from eras ago. Will not stay in this hotel again.

The staff was very helpful and friendly; however, the place is a little run down, it looks like they are trying to fix it up. The gym equipment is old and broken. The coffee shop and Moby dicks bar is closed. They do not have live band every night. The band (or should I say 2 people singing karaoke) only plays on weekends. The pool was nice but again wear and tear is showing. The swim up bar was not in use. Water in room comes and goes and sometimes only hot water. The room was spacious and comfortable. The bed was big, the couch was comfortable.

Keeps Going Downhill

I've been frequenting this property for the last 7 years and the condition has been continually deteriorating. It is in bad need of refurbishment/remodeling. The customer service has also become worse over the years. We invited 20 family members to join us for dinner in the main restaurant. The front desk told us that the 6 children were not allowed on the property unless we paid an extra 2,000 pesos ($45 USD). After a few minutes of arguing, we said just add it to our room bill. That was not acceptable. We had to pay the manager in cash. We then waited in the otherwise empty restaurant for 45 minutes and received no service even though there was a bartender and 2 servers watching us from 20 feet away. So we left and went across the street to Harley's Restaurant where we received such great service that we frequented that establishment for the rest of our stay. It looks like we'll have to find a new place to stay in Barretto.

I wouldn’t recommend this hotel to anyone

This hotel is bad bad bad, their food and drink prices are way out of line and you don’t have a choice because you are not allowed to bring any food or beverage from outside.
The rooms on the beach front has broken door locks, the taps are worn and the showers are moldy.
Upon checkout I asked my 2 suitcases be collected from the room, when my transport arrived the suitcases were not there. I asked the reception lady what’s happening, she said she forgot.
My friend who had traveled with me and prepaid his room left after staying one night only as he was most upset with the condition of his room.
Lastly, this entire hotel is in need of a makeover

2 star hotel at best

Arrived and no towels in the room - got some after asking. Room was tired and in need of refreshing, but the aircon worked. Shower had little pressure and not much hot water. Throughout 3 day stay there were very few pool towels available which was surprising considering how few guests were staying.

Many items missing from menu - a board outside the kitchen showed 86 items unavailable, even bananas which is pretty surprising considering the location of the hotel....

Insufficient kitchen stsff meant orders took an interminable time to arrive and food was luke warm when it did. Service was poor and staff had to make up excuses for missing items. Hotel management clearly do not care at this branch of the Wild Orchid.

Ocean view rooms are by the beach separated from the main bldg which is fine.
Restaurant by the beach is good.
Beach offers wonderful morning swim on the Philippine Sea. Plenty of water activities offered.
Lacking of some finer amenities.... bring your own hair dryer if that’s important to you. There are no water glasses for brushing your teeth but 2 water bottles provided.
Adequate for a simply good beach time.

Dissapointing

Overall: Adequate, but serious management issues exist.
Good: Room design, porter staff was friendly, pool design was good.
Bad: A/C could barely cool room during day, food service was extremely slow (frequently over one hour wait), wait staff said that kitchen was horribly under manned, wait staff inattentive, (many customers yelling and clapping hands to get service), food quality was fair but inconsistent, wifi was extremely slow and often completely inaccessible, staff was unable to provide reliable wifi, laptop froze with likely infection from their network, room floors very dirty (needed mopping, but wait staff only swept), workers complained of low pay.

Disappointed

I was disappointed in the quality of the room for the price ($69 per night) for the Subic area. The room was adequate but in need of some attention as it is showing it's age. The bath area had no bath mat for the shower. The television sound would not come on when the set was turned on, it took about 15-20 minutes before the sound came on. I enjoyed my pepper steak that I had at Captain Rob's restaurant. Very tender, moist and flavor. The restaurant is on the beach with a view of the ocean.

Great Pool, Dated rooms

Overall, my stay was pleasant due to the really nice pool area. However, the rooms are dated and are in need of renovations. The price is relatively high given the area and it is hard to justify the price with the rooms in the state they are. I will consider staying again because the pool area is top notch compared to others in the area and allows for really nice afternoons when the weather is nice.

Once ok however probably not again

While we had a pleasant stay at Wild Orchid we would not recommend going back to the hotel. First of all the F&B staff was untrained. It took over 1 hour for a complete meal to be served and that was breakfast. I understand that they are going through a training process but I did not see one manager trying to help out the F&B Staff.
The room was fine however we were beachfront which was across the rode from the main hotel. There was a bar that had a band playing well until the night. The beach is not the kind of beach you would lounge on as there are far to many people trying to sell trinkets as well as no place to actually sit (other than a towel). For the towels they only give you 2 per room and then charge you for pool towels.
On the positive side the pool was nice and the air conditioning in the rooms worked well.
