    The staff. They were so accommodating and always smiled whenever we see them. I would also like to commend Ate Weng cause she was like an old friend and not just a manager.

    Two people in the pool and it's full. Never seen such a small pool and sunbathing area for only four.

    Location is very good. On the beach front but away from the noisy bars. Comfortable room, clean and good a/c . Helpful staff.

    It was not the resort’s problem but the electricity went off a couple of times during our stay.

    The location is good, right on Sabang bay and very close to the market, easy to get around. Our room is big and has a balcony where we could hang things to dry.

    Apart from the inability or will to provide breakfast, everything else was fine.

    The disappointing thing was that, though i payed for breakfast included, because of staffing issues, breakfast was not provided, nor was any refund offered.

    Basic hotel in a scuba town

    • Deluxe Double Room with Sea View

    Upper floor and restaurant access involves dangerous steep stairs. Rooftop swimming pool is not accessible for handicap. Sabang Beach has been destroyed by a concrete seawall project. No sand and nobody swimming or sunbathing. Boats for island hopping and snorkel and scuba is nearly impossible for moderately disabled tourists so popular with Koreans that there are few other dining options.

    I walk using rollator for balance, so a few stairs are ok and I was comfortable using the ground floor room. Somebody in wheelchair would not do well here. Nice TV, decent internet, cold aircon. This hotel is pretty basic as expected for price. Staff very helpful and friendly. The steak house is top notch.

    I’ve stayed at Papa Fred’s several times in various rooms. I don’t have any major issues except there could be more places to put/hang things. A line for hanging towels, wet rashies etc, shelves for toiletries etc. Also the two rooms directly at the front often have people milling about and their talking penetrates the room, which some might find a little annoying, but it’s not a big deal.

    The location is great for all the dive shops and various other things on offer in Sabang. So close and the newly constructed “esplanade” makes walking to/from much easier now. Rooms are basic but comfortable and clean. The property has a generator which is essential in Sabang (brown outs). Food at the restaurant is tasty with a nice outlook over the water. Staff are friendly.

    Unfortunately there was not enough hot water to enjoy our private rooftop jacuzzi.

    The location is perfectly in the middle of Sabang on the beach. Dinner was delicious at the restaurant and the room was perfect for a romantic weekend.

    The Wi-Fi was practically unusable, so I spent my time using data. Netflix was unusable because the Wi-Fi was unusable. The tv picture was fuzzy and snowy and unwatchable. The shower gel quality was really poor. Luckily I brought my open, it was more like dishwashing liquid.

    I didn't have breakfast
