The staff were amazing! Daily breakfast delivered to our door! Very accommodating. They went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable. I booked an in room massage, as well! They not only booked our tours, they also accompanied us to both the Underground river and zip line. Thank you. Highly recommend if you want a wholesome local experience.
Just be aware that there is no running hot water. But this was not an issue for us, as the days were extremely humid and very hot.

The room that I stayed in was very spacious, plenty of room to put things and the bathroom was also spacious. Room for me was clean, no bugs as others reported and everything was kept clean. Bathroom was large with a few options for hanging clothes etc. Walking distance to town or a short scooter ride.
The curtains do not do a good job of keeping the room dark which doesn't bother me much as I am up early but is worth noting. I wouldn't say it's great value for money but at the same time that's just Sabang in general, this was the best mid-range room I could find. Be good if they had water refills accessible instead of having to ask for them to fill my bottle for me. This isn't anything fancy but it does the job.

A lovely setting surrounded by lush gardens. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Mila organised my cave tour which was perfect as she had me on one of the earliest boats before the crowds arrived. Breakfast is served on your balcony, which I really enjoyed. The location is not on the swimming beach and is 5-10 minutes walk to the port where the cave tour leaves from, the restaurants and beach is a little in the same area. Walking home alone at night was not ideal as I was staying alone. This meant a very early end to the day ,staying on the main beach would avoid that, but overall I was happy with my accommodation.

Dabdab Inn is perfectly located for visitors of the Puerto Prince Underground River. The boats for the visit are located at 1 minute walk from the hotel. The hotel manager was very helpful in booking the tour. The cottages are in a beautiful garden bordering the seashore. We got breakfast on our balcony, which was a very pleasant start of the day. The large rooms are originally decorated by an artist.
The sanitary is in poor condition (no warm water in our room and lavabo faucet broken). There is no restaurant in the inn, they only serve breakfast , but there are several canteens and shops nearby. .

The location was a bit remote but therefore not overcrowded. The rooms are reasonable for the price. We booked the underground river tour through the operator and it worked out great. We were very well looked after by the staff, I haven't experienced such hospitality and appreciation for a long time.
Air conditioning did not work properly so the room was quite warm. The owner is aware of this but does nothing about it. Once we had no water at night because they forgot to fill the tank.

Good location close to village center but away from the noise. Big, shady front porch with table and chairs. Nice garden view and sea view through the woods. Good breakfast served on the porch. Excellent buffet lunch served in close by restaurant. In 10 minutes walk sandy beach, small restaurants and massage place under the palm trees! Jetty for Underground River 5 minutes walk and the price is the best. Do not organize your trip from PP!

Beautifully decorated room that was spotlessly clean. Friendly staff and in a great location. There's no TV and the Filipino showers are a bit of a shock to the system in the morning but only adds to the experience.
Mattress like a camping mat. After 5 nights here I needed a massage.

Dabdab is a great option Igor spending the night near the Underground River. The staff, Ms Milas in particular, was wonderful! So helpful with all aspects of our stay, arranging shuttles, our tour, and was flexible when our flights were delayed. Room was very clean and pleasant. Breakfast was delivered to our porch in the morning. Can’t say enough about how much we enjoyed our stay at Dabdab.

Everything at Dabdab was excellent, including the included breakfast which was delivered right to your room. I highly recommend this facility for anyone needing an affordable and excellently located place to stay in Sabang. I have absolutely nothing but good comments for Dabdab.

It’s very close to the pier to the Underground River. There are few buffet restaurants around the vicinity. Spacious room with relaxing veranda. Beautiful hand-painted walls. Good breakfast.
The karaoke in the neighborhood can last late night (Not the property’s fault)
