On the beach very good food and the people were very nice! A lot of activity around the place kayak in the mangrove snorkeling zip line , market. over all we had an amazing time in sablayan! To arrive to the hotel is all and adventure you have to take a boat to cross the river or go to the bridge and walk 10 to 15 mins

Internet connection on Smart is sometimes slow in the area. More time for reading books instead of staying on the phone. ☺️

Beautiful resort situated directly at the beach. The accommodation was in beautiful local huts. The owner and staff were amazing and super accommodating with everything. I live the chill vibe or this place and the fresh coconuts from the garden

great food for good prices, nice restaurant. they are welcoming and supporting also guests with less money, we were even allowed to use their kitchen while restaurant cooking was going on (!) . the less pricy huts have a shared toilet and shower which were not too clean, but all in all no problem. relaxed and nice atmosphere

A bit hard to get to and from the location with a heavy motorbike in combination with street tires, especially on high tide. If you have a bike like that it might be better to park in the city and be picked up by boat 🙂 Staff were super helpful and arranged a boat to the city centre when needed. The beach could and should have been kept more tidy than it is today, in and around the resort it is nice but the main beach is not as nice as it deserves to be.

Very friendly and helpful staff and owners 🏝️🙏 Good food and, great craft beers, very good selection of wine 🍷 Hammocks and sunsets, can you ask for more?

Long way from bus terminal, tricky getting here, but worthwhile.

Laid back , village atmosphere. With tasty food served.Nice original range of spiced Rum.Comfortable beds & pillows in rustic dormitory. Long walk to toilet in middle of night though.Perfect base for divers going to Apo.French or otherwise

Remote and awsome staff

Stayed in January 2024

Cleanliness of the shelves in the bathroom and room could have been a bit better, but as it is a hut and not hermetically closed, it’s not possible to keep everything out.

Guillaume and Arlene are great hosts. The food is super good. Their place is right by the beach, which is almost a private beach, ideal to warch

Very nice resort directly at the beach. Perfect for a relaxing time and for exploring further adventures around Sablayan. The food at Paraiso is excellent and at a great value for price.

The Beach itself is no comparison to that of Pandan Island. You can visit there for a day trip though.

Despite budget pricing very comfortable and clean huts with windows to three sides and good mosquito nets. Restaurant is great place to hang out, to meet fellow travelers or chat with your host who has a motorbike to rent out and helps with organizing trips to APO Reef, Coron or nearby places of interest.

The sunsets were incredible. The location was incredible. The property was Incredible. The staff were in incredible. for example: we were upgraded from a normal cabin to a deluxe cabin as there weren’t as many guests (a testament to the owners kindness). They also helped us with planning the rest of our journey in the philippines by giving advise and calling local areas to get transport information. They also pour very generous cocktails and are always up for a conversation. 11/10 would recommend if you enjoy relaxing in a hammock on a beach. One thing however there can be a few mosquitoes so bring spray! if you forget they also sell it so no stress.

Absolutely amazing location between Palm trees, the See and a river. There is a boat Shuttle to get to the other Side of the River or a nice Walk to get to the Location. I can 100% recommend this place. Not only for the amazing food, Its just an amazing location run by amazing people. Thx for the amazing time.

This place is a little paradise by the beach. The huts are simple but comfy, the food is really tasty and the hosts are extremely helpful and friendly. Guillaume and Arlene helped us to book ferry tickets, organised a snorkelling tour to apo island and sent us (for a visit) to the Sablayan Prison.

Nothing, we liked everything about the place

Just fantastic hosts who were outstanding in warmth, assistance and helping any way they could and did Food menu outstanding and very fairly priced not like some other sablayan accomadation providers who we are really down on for overpriced small portions of amateur cooked food where we have stayed last 4 weeks It’s a bit out of the way but transport earnestly assisted by hosts. Small comfortable cottages in a nice simple beach setting, hosts went out of their way and made it their business to make time for all guests Beach is clean and kept in good order, you don’t have to go out 200 meters to be in 2 foot of water like another All kudos to the owners, we are going back on our return from angeles in 5 days without hesitation and we have stayed at all providers in sablayan. You will NOT be disappointed Thanks for a wonderful and well cared for break

As long as you are aware that this is a budget accomodation (e.g no hot water, no a/c and such) and you know what to expect, there are no disadvantages

The location is perfect - right at the beach, with beautiful sunsets. The resort itself has a rustic atmosphere which we really liked. They have pet dogs, a cat and a few chickens and ducks. The vibes are chill and all makes you relxed The food is delicious, with a variety of dishes, and adjustable for vegans! Plus a really good real coffee. All for reasonable price And last but not least - the owners are super nice and helpful..they will help you get there and away, and take care of your every need. All mentioned above comes with an amazing value for the money you pay. So worth it!

Our experience here is beyond words! I couldn't thank them Enough! If we could stay much longer we will definitely GO BACK To this place! Once you confirm your reservation they will email you a very detailed directions to get to their area. They have a lot of back up and alternatives when it comes to transportation, power supply and your daily needs such as tropical fruits and cold drinks. They even let us stay in the bungalow (which is the larger one) without charging anything additional. I am happy to arrange our Pandan Island with them, people from the Island knows them and their boat. They serve delicious food and They will definitely treat you with respect with warm welcome and sweet smiles. THANK YOU Guillaume, Arlene and Yohan.

Mosquitos are present but I think it is beyond their control.

It is near Pandan island and Apo Reef. The resort offers quality but affordable food. It has WIFI connection. Owner and staff are helpful and accommodating.

Excellent beach location. Comfortable, spacious room with good shower pressure and a nice verandah. Restaurant area had a great atmosphere and good music, easy to meet other guests. well located hammocks and comfortable chairs. Great sunsets. Food was excellent and the cheapest we’ve come across in 5 weeks in the Philippines. Wifi was good in our room and the restaurant. Hosts extremely helpful. Highly recommend.

The owners were so great and friendly and arranged great day trip to Pandan Island and ferry to Coron. Good Internet. Loved the room, basic but very quirky. Food was great and good price. Nice cold beer and good wine. Lots of wildlife. Boat to get across the river was fun. Stars amazing. If you like remote places come here. Relaxing hammocks. Dark sand beach and sea was choppy when we were there. Felt a bit like a homestay and great place to meet other travellers.
