I had a pleasant stay at this hotel in Sabang. The penthouse room was clean and offered a lovely private deck, which added to its charm. The upper deck pool was a highlight, providing a great spot to relax and enjoy the views. However, there were a few brownouts during my stay, and it wasn't fully accessible, which could be an issue for some guests. Overall, I found it to be a good value for the price.

I arrived at Sabang without any reservations and ended up booking the last available penthouse at a great price. The room was clean and had its own private deck, which was a nice touch. I enjoyed the upper deck pool, but there were a few brownouts during my stay. Overall, the place was quiet at night, and I appreciate the helpfulness of the staff, although I did notice it wasn't ADA accessible. I would definitely stay here again for the value.

I had a great stay at this penthouse in Sabang. The room was clean and equipped with a nice air conditioning system, plus the private deck offered stunning views. The upper deck pool was a lovely bonus, providing a relaxing spot to unwind. On the downside, there were a few brownouts during my visit, and I wasn't sure if a generator was available. Despite that, the hotel was a good value for the price, making it a spot I'd definitely recommend.
