I travelled with my gf and we went for the cheapest room because we were on a budget. Service was nice, room was clean and comfortable. Though this place was really comfy and well organised they could do a bit more about bug protection. We had one cockroach there but I think there is a small chance everywhere in asia... More

Again, the pic of the pool on their website is significantly different in real life. The pool is really small and cannot accommodate a lot of people. The receptionist was verging on rude during our stay and the staff were racist. It was obvious that their trearment with foreign guests were better. The location is pretty far from the port.... More

Not a bad petite resort by any means, especially in the dump of a village called Sabang. In fact, it's very similar in layout to Out Of The Blue. Great staff, pleasant surrounds once your in the resort, decent size swimming pool, decent location and value. But has some negatives too. The restaurant has zero vegetarian meal options (barring a... More

Had a pleasant stop here, room very nice but you need to be pretty fit to get the most out it, I had 85 steps and ramps to get up the hill, but once there it was worth it. Minibar very resonable prices, but be very careful with any of the linen/towels, if you get the slightest mark on them,... More

I stayed a few nights in this hotel in Sabang. It is a beautiful location close to the village, but still very quiet. I loved the garden, but less the steps. My room was almost the last one up the hill and that was quite a sweaty climb in the end. The biggest asset is the positive and friendly staff!... More

Really helpful staff in a hotel with great views of the bay. Bit of a trek up the steps but I guess the clue is in the name! The hotel has a smallish but very pleasant pool with a bar. The food is good and served well. The best recommendation is that I hope to return here next year.

After some research we decided for the Steps & Garden and we enjoyed every minute there. We even extended our stay by 4 days and skipped a planned Boracay trip. We booked 2 new suites on the top floor with fantastic view. Many steps but it was worth it. The rooms are very spacious and so was the bathroom, very... More

Steps has built an extension going even further up the hill. Although I didn't stay in the new part. I did look at the rooms, and I was impressed. Very modem and functional. I stayed in one of the older cottages which have all had new bathrooms installed to nice standard. A lovely place to stay, I tried another couple... More

In late September 2012, I stayed here for 2 nights and my experience was delightful. For an air-conditioned, clean, simple room with an amazing view the price was P1500. Skip all the dive resorts (even if you are a diver as I am) and relax with a view in Sabang. They also have decent wi-fi and a great pool/lounge area.

Basically the resort has reasonable provisions in terms of stay - but for the restaurant they have a tendency to serve Caucasian diners first. My dining experiences there have been bad - always having to wait at least 40-60 mins which was totally unpleasant because they serve Caucasian guests first prior to us. I think this sort of distasted the... More
