Before You Book Acea Subic… Watch This First

What’s up guys, welcome back to Shutterbug Foodie! For my birthday this year, I’m taking you back to a place that holds a lot of memories—Acea Subic Beach Resort. I first visited here in 2019, and coming back in 2026 for a birthday getaway was the perfect way to see how much this premium resort has leveled up! In this vlog, we’re doing a full tour of the resort—from the iconic infinity pool and the surprisingly clear waters (with lots of fish!) to the amenities like the game room and gym. I also tried Jet Skiing for the first time! But a Shutterbug Foodie trip isn't complete without a food crawl. We're hitting the "Big Two" of Subic: 🍕 Xtremely Xpresso Cafe – Home of the massive 22-inch Big Ben Pizza. 🍖 Texas Joe’s House of Ribs – My personal birthday tradition for the best BBQ in town. Whether you're looking for a stress-free escape from Manila or the best places to eat in Subic, this guide has you covered. 📍 Locations Featured: Acea Subic Beach Resort Xtremely Xpresso Cafe (SMBA) Texas Joe's House of Ribs (Waterfront Rd) Subic Bay Boardwalk ⏰ Timestamps: 0:00 - Highlights 0:20 - Intro & Why Subic? 0:40 - Acea Subic Resort Tour (2019 vs 2026) 1:07 - Accessibility from Manila 1:24 - Resort ambiance 1:38 - The largest infinity pool in Central Luzon 1:56 - The Cabannas 2:10 - Beach, Snorkeling & Clear Waters 2:42 - Amenities: Gym, Game room, Kids Play Area, Tennis, Pickle Ball, Function Space 3:47 - PWD and Senior Friendly Spaces 3:53 - Room Tour, WIFI 4:35 - Beach Activities and Jet Ski Experience 5:05 - Food: The View Cafe, The Salt Bar Restaurant, The Sunset Bar 5:48 - The Crew 6:00 - ATM and EV Charging Station 6:09 - Easter Celebration 6:24 - Subic Bay Boardwalk, Waterfront Road 6:40 - Xtremely Xpresso Cafe: The BIG BEN Pizza 8:10 - Birthday Tradition at Texas Joe's Ribs 8:32 - Is it worth it?
