Oriental Sabang Hill Resort

Puerto Galera


This Swedish-run hilltop place scores major points for views and for its location on the far end of Sabang's (somewhat) quieter east side. There are services galore, an impressive bar-restaurant, and simple but well-appointed rooms graced with white walls, murals and minibars. Seize that view from your private balcony.
