They picked us up at the public market and took us to the hotel. The room was okay for a couple, but too cramped to move around freely. The air conditioning was very cold, and Wi-Fi worked, though the cable TV signal didn’t. We asked for two coffee mugs and took two from the table. A few minutes later, a crew member came over and brought us two cups and saucers.

We enjoyed our stay here in Brgy. Sabang Baler, Aurora. The caretaker was friendly and easy to approach, and we could use the kitchen and its dining utensils. They generally don’t ask for a reservation downpayment. Sabang beach is about a three-minute walk away.

Getting to Sabang beach is easy, and trikes wait outside, which is convenient for groups. The rooms are spacious, though the bathroom could use more room. There’s a column right beside the shower, so as a big guy I’d keep banging my elbows on it.
