Comments: We looked at all the Resorts at Sabang Beach. Chose Big
Apple. Others were more expensive but did not have the atmosphere that Big Apple did.

The Staff made you feel like a King. The food was very good in the
Resturant and service was outstanding.

It had the cleanest pool of any resort there. The girls at the pool bar really toke care of us. Plus they were easy to look at and would joke around with you. A great time was had.

Comments: Big Apple has some cheaper rooms at around 650p with ceiling
 fan that is fine for my needs. Since it is right next to the ocean
 whenever I've been there (January) I\'ve never needed the AC. Make
 reservations because the place will fill up.
For girls, the bar that is connected usually has some freelancers that
 come in at night but there are a handful of discos/gogos within
 crawling distance too.
The diving and instructors were ok and they could certify you in their
 pool for SCUBA.
The dives were about $23 each which included the gear.

The beach in Sabang isn't good for anything but launching boats, but
 there is some beaches within a few miles that are beautiful.

Comments: Hotel Palwa, while advertising a reliable \"Wi-Fi\" internet connection, only had something as slow as dialup, if not slower. However, as far as rooms go, it was clean, quiet and centrally located in town.

The dining area offered a decent selection of menu items. However, I preferred dining out, during our last stay of 3 days, 2 nights. You may wish to do the same.

I did not partake of any guest services offered at Palwa, so I cannot rate them.But, as far as a clean place to get a good nights rest goes, Palwa is fine for that.

Hotel Palwa room rates are as follows:

Single: (1 person) - Php 749
Matrimonial: (2 persons) - Php 949
Twin: (2 persons) - Php 949
Family: (4 persons) - Php 1699 (includes ref in room)
Extra Bed/Person - Php 200
