Place was a bit challenging to find but worth it. This is the sanctuary if you're craving for peace. Even though there are other guest, place is quiet, calm and very chill. Staff are also very accomodating.

Exceptional”
Great place to unwind. Very peaceful also. You might want to bring your own drinking water to save money, but they also sell on the restau. Phone reception here won't be a problem. You can also grill, bring your own charcoal. They have restau but with a limited food choices. They also cater tours to apo reef and other islands.

Thanks so much! We are happy!
fantastic getaway place”
Although getting to the hotel you have to cross the river and pay the boat fares every time, it's very quiet and right in front of the beach where you can enjoy the sunset, read books or just hear the waves patting the clean sand beach. Moreover Pandan island is only about 2km in the sea if you are looking from the small balcony in front of the rooms. Rooms are clean and basic with without toiletries. The hotel staff were very friendly and attentive. They arranged the boat for us to Pandan island. They can also arrange Apo Reef trip for the customers. By the way, the hotel owner Mr. Gustavs was very nice and helpful even though we didn't meet. But once there's problem, he would consider in the shoes of the customers and fix the problem properly.

Good value ”
👍 good price , on a quiet secluded beach that's great for swimming especially if you bring kids because the water doesn't get too deep to fast and the surf is very calm . Staff is super friendly and helpful . Gustav and the dive master are good people to talk about diving apo reef with . 🤔 things to be aware of , about a 20 minute walk from the hotel to the market or town proper . The fan room is a good price but still a bit hot , probably best to upgrade to aircon room if you're bringing your significant other . No refrigerator for storing beer in . And all the food in the restaurant is made fresh , which is a good thing , but don't wait until you're hungry to go and order as it is more like a home cooked meal ( takes time) I recommend doing that day trip to pandan island for scuba or snorkeling . Overall highly recommended for you are stay in sablayan.

Disastrous experience ”
Context : I came there with a group for an organised overnight trip to Apo Reef + : the food is very good - : everything. The trip was mismanaged from the beginning, we were just being informed that "this and this will not be possible" but we were never presented with solutions, and we had to insist and push very hard to know what will happen AND to get a very poor compensation. The trip was shortened by half a day, the crew was never ready, we did not do every dive but still have to pay almost the full package price, AND 2 of the 4 dives we did were on a completely destroyed reef. Poor location, you have to cross a river on a boat to get there, so it's not easy to come back and forth to the city, only good if you want to be in a remote place with access to nothing else and eat / stay / do everything there. And careful with the bill because we were charged for that boat crossing even though we payed 15k for the trip ! Everything is extra fee. Joy, the person in charge there was unreliable and unfriendly. Would never recommend.

Book through agoda !”
We Booked through Agoda for a bungalow. When we arrived they gave us a upgrade, without Knowing we were extra charged .So the bill was more than three times higher than what we booked through agoda. That did not feel right.

I liked :)”
Well its a quit place on a long beach with less people. You can easily walk to the market place in the town or take a boat trip to Pandan Island where you can snorkel with a big amount of turtles and a lot fishes. On Pandan Island you should check out the way through the jungle to the perfect beach called wild laguna. You can also make a diving or snorkeling trip to Apo Reef which is really nice to dive, on the way you will often see flying fishes and dolphins. The rooms a simple and 10 meter away from the sea so you sleep with the sound of the waves. The food at Gustavs Place is also nice, alternative you can go the market place buy some fresh fish or chicken and let a food-stand get that prepared for you. If I would be near to Sablayan or would like to dive Apo Reef again I would book at Gustavs.

Fantastic location and friendly staff”
We had a really nice stay at Gustavs place. Gustav and his staff are very friendly and helpful and the food was fantastic. The standard is simple, backpacker style, but clean. Best diving in the Phillippines at Apo Reef which is strongly recommended! We can really recommend Gustavs place for anyone travelling to that are unless aircon/higher standard rooms is a must. A few bungalows with high standard would make the resort perfect for a wider range of travellers.

Quite good!”
The staff are very accommodating especially Gustav himself. Had the chance to go on a day-trip to Apo Reef with their arrangement, tho quite price since we're just 5 people who shared the boat. And it's a bit far from the main road, which makes it less accessible but at the same time, it's quite peaceful and quiet. If you're looking for a peaceful place, you should definitely try it here.

Friendly staff and perfect start for an APO reef dive”
Gustav and his wife built quite a place in the last 20 years! Our room wasn't the newest, but for us is was fine. The buffet for breakfast and diner is very nice and I can recommend the sandwich for lunch (not on the menu) We loved that it's very quiet, especially after Palawan.

Wonderful place and great location ”
Thus place was so amazing for location, views, the room. Unfortunaly we were there during horrible rain so couldn't take advantage of the snorkeling in the area. Staff were mostly lovely, except we were left for an hour the morning of us leaving waiting for some one to come check us out, if we had a specific bus to catch we would have missed it

When you want to be away from the polluted city and relax, this place is a must!!”
staff and especially the owner are so accommodating and friendly. I always traveled solo and this place is so perfect. I was able to go around and tried snorkeling and go to other island. the place is recommended if you want to stay away from stressful city. I should come again. :) happy travelling everyone!!!

Not very accessible”
The place is nice and all, but the location is a bit difficult to locate. Boat ride is needed to cross from the City proper to the resort which is not always easy and not very safe especially if you need to travel at night. Overall, this is a good value for money if you want a quiet place to relax and just enjoy the beach.
