In a great location slap on the waterfront, with a good restaurant attached...
Right on the beach, this is a Sabang institution...
Cheery Margie of Mengies presides over the restaurant and will find a room for you.
There’s a good variety of rooms here, from fan-cooled nipa huts to air-con suites with all the trimmings. The resort sprawls along the sandy beach, with shady gardens and a relaxed vibe.
A prime spot of real estate, this is a collection of good-sized, great value-for-money rooms – all with kitchens. Flash they ain’t and there’s no garden to speak of, but it’s a good option for budget travellers.
This is a family-friendly place, with a decent pool, good-value big, plain rooms, and suites with full kitchen facilities, perfect for cooking the fresh-caught fish sold outside every morning. The shady courtyard looks out across the ocean.
A rambling white building with pretty terraced garden and pool, this is the grand dame of Sabang’s hotels. Annex rooms, on the waterfront, are tiny – you’ll be more comfortable back off the main strip. There’s wi-fi.
In business since 1983, this five-room hotel is something of a Sabang institution, looking directly over the water and with a popular upstairs restaurant.
A delightful cluster of stand-alone cottages with private balconies in an overflowing and colourful garden, this resort sits high above the beach. It has breezes and views and is away from the noise. And yes, there are a lot of steps.
A collection of good value, small, self-contained units with kitchens, which lie in concrete rows just off the beach.
A notable exception to most run-of-the-mill accommodation here, Coco’s is rustic and relaxed at the quiet western end of the beach.
A sprawling resort that probably retains its popularity more for its alfresco restaurant and well-known dive centre than the somewhat musty rooms.
A good budget choice, VIP has rooms behind Action Divers. Rates stay the same year-round, and dive and accommodation packages are available.
Behind Coral Cove Resort, this place lacks views and atmosphere. On the upside, rooms are clean and well kept, and air-con rooms have cable TV. Guests tend to dive with Coral Cove Dive Center.
The grand old dame of Sabang, Spanish mission-style Atlantis has the town's priciest restaurant (Ristorante da Franco), an idyllic terraced garden with a pool and a state-of-the-art five-star PADI dive centre.
The Villa has huge, plain, powder-blue rooms and family-friendly apartments. At its heart is a shady courtyard with views across a large pool to the sea. It also has a restaurant, pool tables and bar. Octopus Divers is based here.
Stylish El Galleon is one of the long-stayers on the beach. At this resort, bamboo and thatch is incorporated into comfortable cottages that wind their way through landscaped gardens on the hillside down to the pool deck.
Away from the crowds, Sabang Inn has spacious rooms, great views and friendly staff. There's a five-star PADI dive centre here offering good package deals. Rates stay the same year-round.
Careworn but clean rooms with shared balconies are stacked all the way up the steep hill, ensuring great views. The restaurant, which looks over the beach, has good cheap meals (from around P130) and brewed coffee (around P25).
This place has a bizarre, EuroDisney thing going on - it looks like a giant jumping castle. Rooms have four-poster beds, faux-antique furniture and marble bathrooms. It's worth forking out a little more for the suites.
On the stretch of shoreline between Garden of Eden Resort and the eastern point of Sabang beach, you will find no end of concrete pillbox guesthouses, some with balconies looking out to sea. All accept walk-in guests.
A massive white structure that seems to defy building regulations, the Whitehouse perches high at the western end of the beach.
