We stayed one night at the Big Apple. We went to this hotel mainly because of its good references on Tripadvisor. It surely is a nice hotel with a swimmingpool. For us, the problem was the older foreigner men with, often young, Philippino women staying there. The place was crowded with it. So if you are a couple or not... More

I have stayed here twice in the past year. The first time I stayed in a deluxe room, and this month I stayed in Condo B for 13 nights. The dive shop here is first rate. The staff is professional, friendly and accommodating. I took my Advanced OW class here and have logged about 50 dives with Big Apple. The... More

We have stayed here several times in the past. It's relatively cheap and convienient for short trips. The downfall is the online booking system is terrible or the way it is interpreted by the front office has a major problem. You book, pay deposit and hopefully the room you booked is available when you get there. Emails stating that you... More

I spent a week at Big Apple and have zero complaints. My room was comfortable although spartan. I slept well every night I was there. The restaurant food was decent, although somewhat expensive for the area. As mentioned, I was there for a diving course and that's what Big Apple is all about. The beach at Sabang is not the... More

I came to dive and chose Big Aple as it seemed pretty central with a dive shop attached. I stayed in one of the expensive rooms (2000 pesos per night so not exactly breaking the bank!) which was a good call as these are at the back away from the 24 hour sports bar so not noisy. The food is... More

Our stay was great until the last day. I took an Open Water Diving Course. I trained with Peter. He is a great instructor. I recommend him highly. Everything was going great and I was going to leave positive feedback. We ate there for dinner, as we had 3-4 times. It's a little pricy but good. I ordered some fruit... More

This is a sprawling beachfront resort with 30 units but it has a very intimate feel. There is a large pool with plenty of lounge chairs and a shaded area for those not wanting to get tanned. As there is not much of a beach in Sabang Beach, the pool is most welcome. Condo A 3500p While Condo A is... More

The Big Apple's restaurant is open 24 hours a day! Junk for junk's sake! Had dinner once, NOT OK. But decided to try their pizza for lunch - BAD result, 2 days with bad stomach, fever and so on. It's a fine bar - but do not eat their food. More
