Joy’s Place On The Beach - Cabangan, Zambales
Joy's Place on the Beach is an absolute escape from the hustles of the city. The 4 hours road trip from Metro Manila to Cabangan, Zambales was all worth it. The place is so relaxing. The amenities are all clean and well maintained and they have free wifi.. Good thing it also has a swimming pool which is well maintained also. But the highlight of place is of course, the beautiful beach and the view every sunset. The staff are super kind and accommodating. Highly recommended! 🌟🌟🌟
If you're looking to chill by the beach this place is for you!
