“Awesome Steps and Garden”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 October 2011

Had spent few days w/my friend in Steps & Garden to unwind and upon arriving in the place it amazed me since the hotel is on the middle of a small hill with fantastic panoramic view both day & night. What really impress me are their foods. All meals are prepared and served w/care like home made foods this is why it always has its subtle sumptuous taste. Before Puerto Galera, I’d been in Manila, Davao, Cebu, bohol & Palawan, but no meals is as good as prepared in Tamarind Restaurant of Steps & Garden. Afcourse, not to mention the friendly staff which is always there to serve you with a smile.

I strongly recommend for singles and families Steps & Garden for relaxation and pleasant ambiance.

Room Tip: I think family rooms are superb.

“very pretty hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 September 2011

This is in Sabang. It's a very very beautiful resort/hotel, done in Andalucian style.
Swimming pool is only 8 metres, but good for a dip and also very pretty. Lots of flowers. The hotel is elevated, so there is a view of the bay.
Rooms are basic but ok. Food is fine.
Sabang is great for diving, has some good restaurants. Night life consists of girlie bars - which was a surprise.

“Oasis in a forest”

Stayed a few days with Steps and Garden after arriving to find my reservation at another resort had been lost and that there had been a price rise in the interim! It was reccomended by a fellow traveller and after a strange route to find the resort found it well worth it for the sea views, terraces and verandahs. Good accommodation, clean and very comfortable. Staff very helpful and friendly, especially Lhiza on reception always smiling and very helpful when I had to arrange travel onwards. Good value and suitable for families and singles alike as you pay for the room no supplements.

Room Tip: Sweet talk the Manager, Lhiza

“Small, clean and nice see view”

We spent two nights in Step and Garden hotel during July. the room is packed but clean and OK for taking a rest or stopover. Hotel staff are quite nice. The room has a great sea view since the hotel is on the middle of a small hill. The steps are just like endless. It literally kills me but suitable for ppl fit. Expect less and then enjoy more.

“Good value option”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 June 2011
1
person found this review helpful

In the context of local standards i scored this above average. I checked out the budget rooms but passed and would not recommend them but instead I stayed in a Superior room. The room was not plush by any stretch and compact but it scores well on value if you want an ocean view and to be in the bustle of Sabang without the noise. Although a bit tired the rooms are fine and the bathrooms could do with an update. Clean with pleasant and helpful staff. Food options good. In the evenings enjoyed a quiet drink and the view from the front veranda.
