This place has its own spirit. Staff is very friendly as well as other guests that are visiting this place. Diving team is excellent, same for diving instructors. Sabang diving sites are beautiful and the whole concept of time schedule for diving, rest between dives and after dives is very well done. Food is very good and manu is wide variety of choices.

Only thing is that the staff is changing so often, that on a long stay as a guest you just get friendly with some and then the following days you notice they are gone.

The location is really great : in the heart of Sabang port, very accessible and with so many walking distance points of interest. The rooms where spacious and comfortable, the staff was very nice, The hotel in general is very peaceful with the pool and the lush around !

The breakfast was ok but could be better. I personally felt uncomfortable with all the birds in cages, it made me sad. And the last point would be that I wrote an e-mail to the hotel about a week ago to book a diving advance course, but never got any reply.

As a solo traveler, it's easy to feel lonely when traveling. In Big Apple, the staff never let me feel that way. From my first hour of staying, the staff ensured I feel welcome and attend to my needs. After diving, the hot water is always available with enough water pressure. I can also rest, hang wet clothes, and order food to be delivered on the porch in front of my room.

Staying here for 7 days, I really didn't like that I had to leave. 😭.

The location is good. The diving team is superb! Hot showers and ac in the room.

Some meals were inconsistent. For example I had the Greek chicken salad 5 times and it was always different. Wi-Fi in the room was poor and frequently dropped out. Wi-Fi in public areas was good.

Perfect place for my trip, diving and spending some time working, just sitting at the bar during afternoon. All worked well. Night time just great, if you let yourself go with the great mood of staff and guests. Was my second time there, was super well received and again, new friends came up.

Everything was good improved , nice food and perfect ambience

All my good impression, turn in a second to a bad mood while I try to extend 2 more days and they let me know I should pay additional 2% just for pay by gcash , that’s never happen in Philippines since my 8 years living in this lovely country. For credit cards, ok, but they should cancel this unusual 2% for gcash

Great resort, which you can stay 24/7 in if needed. They have everything: nice rooms, pool, food, drinks, a very helpful staff and its just such a beautiful and fun place to be. Special thanx to the manager Reiner who fixes it all and is great to have nights out with.

That I couldn't stay longer

Having restaurant, bar, room, pool, and dive shop in one facility is very convenient.

Room could use updating. Especially the bathroom. The restaurant food menu has changed and you seem to get much less breakfast for a higher price.

The owner was very cordial and welcoming. Wonderful selection of different types of meal selections and choices of coffee on the menu. The other amenities were great as well.

Can't think of anything to not like.

Atmosphere around the pool with the bar and restaurant was excellent. Owner and employees mingled in this area and were very helpful and friendly.

Wi-Fi was slow at times with interruptions.
