Hotels vary from cheap simple rooms to more luxurious establishments and apartels. Subic Bay is not in any way pristine or beautiful like many other tourist destinations in the Philippines but its easy accessible and well established, a home for many ex US military personnel (retired Americans). The bay is still used by various Naval Ship Yards sometimes giving you a feeling of being in a industrial park, having said that, many divers regularly visit the bay for its diverse diving and great dive centers.
Accommodation starts at around 1,000 php/night for a simple room up to 5,000 php/night for a more luxurious suite. If traveling during high season (April-May) we recommend you to book a hotel in advance due to the high demand.
