At the lush heart of the Subic Freeport, Mountain Woods Resort is where nature and high living meet for a relaxing experience above all others.
As a sanctuary for the soul amidst the rich greenery of Subic Bay, Mountain Woods Resort gives nature preservation new meaning. There is seamless collaboration between the hotel’s attentive service and its calming environment that grant visitors a refuge not too far from home, a two-hour drive from Manila sped up by the new SCTEX highway at once bringing the city-weary to a leisurely getaway.
As soon as you step into Mountain Woods’ charming lobby, Subic’s vibrant forest and the bay beyond is the backdrop to your stay. Nature abounds all throughout the premises, the chirping of birds providing sweet accompaniment in the morning, signaling you to rise from the country style comfort of your snug four-poster bed.
Step down to the hotel’s indoor and al fresco Le Jardin Restaurant and survey the arresting view of birds swooping by verdant mountains while a distinctive dining experience arrests your senses. With the calming sound of live piano playing from the lobby and water trickling from a fountain close by, the restaurant’s homemade bread and pastries, steaks, seafood, pizzas, and a host of local favorites make the restaurant an exquisite retreat for both your appetite and your soul. Especially since Le Jardin’s chefs grant a refreshing touch of health to your meal through the fresh herbs and vegetables they’ve picked from the restaurant’s garden below.
After an easy afternoon of strolling across the tree-lined grounds, reading a novel at the open-air pavilion, or sunbathing by the resort’s eternity pool, a candlelight dinner at Le Jardin is delightful punctuation to the day. And after that sumptuous plate of grilled prawns or ribeye steak, it’s almost too hard to resist a bottle of wine while lounging about the Tree Top View Deck, where you can sip a glass of vino under the stars. Of course, a retreat to your contemporary European room is always a treat. As with the pleasure you obtain from Mountain Woods’ outdoor domain, a cozy room with quite a view can be just as enticing.
