Costa Sambali Vacation Home in Zambales

The big draw at Costa Sambali Villas is right outside the villa: a private infinity pool beside the beachfront, with ocean views and direct access to the coast. It’s a self-contained stay in San Antonio, Zambales, suited to slowing down rather than filling every hour with planned activities.

I like the mix of a full kitchen and comfortable living room, which gives you the option to prepare meals and settle in between swims. I also like that the villa pairs the pool with beach access, so you have two ways to spend your time without leaving the property.

The main consideration is the house rules. This is not a party base: pool use ends at 10 PM, quiet time starts then, and the maximum is six people, with no extra guests permitted. The sleeping setup is listed as one king bed and one double pull-out, so groups of six should confirm their arrangements before booking.

Arriving at Madarang Boulevard

Costa Sambali Villas is at Madarang Boulevard in Barangay Pundaquit, San Antonio, Zambales. If you’re driving, use Waze for directions and contact Jing at +63-9560453833 with your expected arrival time. Arriving on time matters: late arrivals and no-shows are not refundable.

Check-in starts at 3 PM, and check-out is at noon. That gives you an afternoon and evening on arrival day, followed by a relaxed morning, but it’s still a one-night stay, not a full two days at the property. If you’re booking more than one night, add the remaining nights to your cart as well.

The villa is in a natural coastal setting, and the rules ask you to keep clear of wildlife and stray animals. There are no lifeguards on duty, so you and your group are responsible for safety in both the pool and the sea. Keep children with an adult at all times, and take extra care around water.

The villa: private space for a small group

The accommodation is designed for up to six, with a king-sized bed and a double-sized pull-out bed. Linens and pillows are provided. The bedroom count and exact sleeping layout for a full group of six are not specified, so ask the operator how the space is arranged if everyone needs a dedicated bed.

The living area gives you somewhere to gather out of the sun. It has an L-shaped sofa, a 55-inch TV with Netflix, and a Marshall Bluetooth speaker. Starlink satellite internet is included, which is useful for checking messages or streaming, though the setting is clearly aimed at spending time together rather than staying glued to a screen.

The bathroom has a bidet, water closet, and rain showerhead, with a separate outdoor shower area. After a beach or pool visit, the outdoor shower can help keep sand and water out of the living space. Use the designated areas for drying wet clothes and towels.

The home’s modern, Bali-inspired style is described as simple, clean, and peaceful. That restrained approach suits a beach stay: the draw is the sea, pool, and time with your group, not an elaborate schedule of resort activities.

Poolside and beach time

The attached infinity pool is likely to shape the rhythm of your stay. You can move between the villa and the water without arranging transport or sharing a pool with a large crowd. Pool use, including the heater, bubbler, and lights, ends at 10 PM, so plan swims and evening lounging around the quiet-time rule.

The beach is directly accessible from the property, giving you a second option when you want to leave the pool behind. The coastline and ocean views are central to the appeal, but no lifeguards are stationed in the area. Check conditions before swimming, supervise children closely, and don’t assume the pool or beach is monitored.

There are also boundaries to keep in mind. Eating and drinking inside the pool are prohibited, and camping or pitching tents near the villa or beach is not allowed. Smoking and vaping are banned inside the villa and around the pool, with designated smoking spots outside the property.

Cooking, coffee, and grilling

A full kitchen makes this villa more flexible than a room-only stay. It includes a full-sized refrigerator, microwave, induction cooker, rice cooker, complete crockery, utensils, and cutlery. That setup is handy for simple breakfasts, snacks, and meals you’d rather eat at home than arrange elsewhere.

The SMEG drip-filter coffee machine comes with ground coffee beans. Read the instructions before using it, as the host specifically asks you to follow the machine’s directions. For coffee drinkers, having beans and a proper machine on hand is a pleasant small convenience, especially if you like an unhurried start.

A Weber grill is available in the designated grilling area, but charcoal is not supplied. Bring or buy charcoal before you plan a barbecue, and use the grill only in its assigned spot. Candles, bonfires, fireworks, firecrackers, and portable butane or LPG stoves are prohibited, so the grill is the permitted outdoor cooking option.

Meals and beverages are not included. That matters when comparing the stay’s price with a hotel that includes breakfast or has dining on site: here, you’re paying for the villa and its facilities, then planning your own food and drinks.

Evenings are for quiet, not a party

The house rules are unusually clear, and they shape the kind of trip this is. Quiet time starts at 10 PM, and loud parties, karaoke, videoke, noisy gatherings, and celebrations are prohibited across the property. The pool also closes at that hour to reduce noise for neighboring units.

For a family, couple, or small group hoping to talk, swim, cook, and turn in at a reasonable hour, those limits may be welcome. If you’re planning a birthday bash or a late night with music, choose somewhere else. The operator can refuse entry for failure to follow the rules.

You’re also asked to conserve water and electricity, clean as you go, sort trash, wash and put away kitchen items, and clear leftover food from the refrigerator at checkout. It’s a private villa, but it isn’t a leave-everything-for-someone-else kind of stay.

Price and what the cost gets you

The package is for up to six people, with starting prices shown at US$252.05 and US$277.25. Since those figures differ, confirm the current price and total before you pay. The value depends on how many people share the cost and how much you’ll use the pool, beach access, kitchen, and living space.

For a group that makes use of the full villa, the cost can be more appealing than booking separate rooms, particularly if you cook some meals. For a couple, it’s a more generous private stay, but you’ll be paying for space and facilities you may not need. There are no meals, drinks, or charcoal in the price, and the information provided does not state that pool heating is included or how it is charged.

Budget for the PHP5,000 security deposit, payable onsite. It is returned at checkout if the keys are returned and there are no missing or broken items. The listed charges for lost or stained belongings are substantial: PHP1,500 per pillow, PHP8,000 per linen, PHP1,000 per beach towel, PHP15,000 for the Marshall speaker, and PHP16,000 for the coffee maker. Treat the supplied items with care and check the property promptly for any damage.

Who will enjoy Costa Sambali most?

I’d put this stay on the shortlist for families and small groups who want a private pool, beach access, and the freedom to make meals in the villa. Couples who value space and a quiet coastal setting may also find it appealing, especially if lounging by the water is the main plan.

It is less suited to anyone who needs wheelchair access, as the property is not wheelchair-accessible. Pets are prohibited, the guest limit is firm, and the no-party rules are strict. If you need a lively nightlife scene or a resort-style program, the information provided does not point to those features here.

For families, the pool and beach are a clear attraction, but the lack of lifeguards deserves real attention. Keep children supervised at all times, and don’t treat the private pool as automatically safe just because it is beside the villa.

Practical details that can affect your stay

The voucher is valid only for the selected date, and confirmation is expected within 24 hours. If no confirmation email arrives, contact customer support. Cancellations made at least 28 days before the date receive a 50 percent refund; cancellations less than 28 days ahead are not refundable. A full refund is available for cancellations within 24 hours of booking, and rescheduling depends on availability.

The property is monitored by CCTV outside the villa and around the grounds. Emergency numbers are posted inside, so take note of them when you arrive. The operator says it is not responsible for personal injury or loss, which is another reason to keep an eye on children and belongings.

One public rating is available, so there is limited feedback to draw on. That account describes a clean, modern, peaceful villa and singles out the private infinity pool and beachfront view. Those are also the property’s clearest selling points, but one rating is not enough to establish how every stay will go.

Should you book Costa Sambali Villas?

Book Costa Sambali if your ideal Zambales break is simple: a private villa, pool time, direct beach access, and meals you can prepare yourself. The pool and ocean setting are the strongest reasons to come, while the kitchen, sofa, TV, speaker, and internet make it easy to spend an unhurried day on site.

Before paying, confirm the current total, ask how the beds work for your group, and make a food and charcoal plan. If you’re comfortable with the strict quiet hours, hands-on housekeeping, and close supervision around water, this looks like a strong fit for a calm coastal stay. If you need more sleeping beds, wheelchair access, included meals, or a late-night party atmosphere, it’s not the right choice.
