Chenhutamu:“Puerto Galera, also known as Dolphin Bay, or PG for short, is a diving resort. People who don't dive should not go there because there is nothing else to do. There are many diving spots here, and they are all very close to the shore. It takes 5 to 10 minutes to go out to sea by boat. It is a good place to brush bottles.”

精灵背包游侠:“When I got back to Batangas by ferry, I realized that I didn’t have to pay insurance and island tax! Don’t be too happy, what’s even better is that you can enjoy the sea view during the trip, which is equivalent to a free cruise! It was only 13:00 when I got ashore. I wanted to take a bus directly to the next destination, Legazpi City, to avoid the hassle of taking a bus back to Manila. Because I was not familiar with the local area, I only saw 3 buses at the station in the pier going back to Manila at the same time. It was a rare convenience, so I got on the bus immediately. Surprisingly, because the road was very smooth, it took only 2 hours to arrive.”

精灵背包游侠:“All the windows on the crab boat were open, so there was no water splashing up. I could easily enjoy the unbeatable sea view. It was also the first time I saw the blue and dark blue water in the deep sea up close. It was so beautiful! Mindoro Island is divided into two parts, the eastern part has developed tourism, and the western part is primitive and undeveloped. I rejected the invitations of many tricycle drivers and walked casually along the winding and undulating streets into the depths of the densely populated town.”
tan:“Overall I do like this hotel as the staffs are helpful and polite to make my stay memorable. Although the hotel is a little distant from Sabang town, they do have speedboat to ferry guests in and out. It has nice room with balcony and sea view for a relaxing stay.”
Guest User:“Wonderful view and food. All food is delicious and all employs so kind.
Recommend deluxe room only because standard room has no window and smell bad.”
Lyra:“We stayed for 3nights and the location are nice and quiet, just expect the brownout/no power as it seems normal in Puerto Galera but they do have back up generator which is nice. The ambience of the surrounding, the pool and the bar are amazing. Overall, we are happy and definitely will go back to this resort.”
An Elysse Sy:“What you see on photos is what you get in actual..the hot shower with strong water pressure was a plus after dive day or island hopping day👍the staff were very accomodating..and the wifi is real good..will definitely reco it to my friends😆😆”
Jinglefajardo:“This resort amazes me. The craftsmanship is so beautiful. Every detail of the room is well-designed and meticulously done. It may be old, but it’s still stunning. Maybe it just needs a bit of renovation. This resort is full of surprises! It’s not your typical design. It’s truly unique. Super beautiful!
Receptionist are accommodating. 😍”
Abby:“Excellent experience! Everything is great that we can ask for a diving trip, great location, nice view, etc. The staff is helpful, making us feel safe and easy. We definitely would like to stay here if revisiting here.”
Dr.CHENG:“This is a newly renovated hotel. The first floor is the 711 supermarket, which is very convenient. The second floor is the hotel's KTV and bar counter, and the third floor is the hotel's guest rooms. Sabang is very small, and the hotel is close to both the dock and the dive shop. After each dive, you can return to the hotel to freshen up and rest. The hotel is equipped with security and surveillance, and there is a safe in the room, which provides security for every customer, especially when you need to keep valuable items such as cash in the safe, which will be very safe. The hotel staff have a good service attitude and will help guests solve any problems. PG is a diving paradise, I will come here again next time.
这是一家新装修好的酒店,一楼是711超市非常方便,二楼是酒店的ktv和酒店吧台,三楼是酒店的客房。Sabang很小,酒店距离码头和潜店都很近,每一次潜水完后都可以回酒店洗漱和休息。酒店配备保安和监控,房间里有保险柜,这给每一个客户带来了安全保障,特别是你需要将现金等贵重物品放在保险柜中,这将会非常安全。酒店工作人员服务态度很好,会帮助客人解决任何问题。PG是一个潜水圣地,下一次我还会来这里。”
Angelica Sibbaluca:“We are satisfied customer .. the whole stay was amazing. I love how the room was decorated. The bed, mirrors and bathroom are all nice plus the swimming pool outside. We didn’t have the chance to try the pool but it was clean. Thank you Molly! We will surely be back for another staycation!”
Anonymous User:“We had an affordable and wonderful stay here!
The beachfront location is perfect — truly just steps from the shore! The front area is very nice and welcoming. The only downside was that housekeeping was a bit slow to respond, but overall, we still had a great experience at Dreamwave Hotel. Definitely recommended for budget-friendly beach getaways!”
Myrna2022:“I had a wonderful stay at Montani Resort. The place is super clean, which made it very comfortable and relaxing. The staff are friendly and always ready to help with a smile. What I loved most is how quiet and peaceful the surroundings are — perfect for a restful getaway. Highly recommended for anyone looking to unwind and enjoy a calm atmosphere.”

Chenhutamu:“A restaurant specializing in Austrian cuisine on Sabang Beach in PG. Of course, the chefs are all Filipino, so there are many Filipino dishes. The environment here is not bad, the service is also OK, and there are not many people. Even if you don't eat, it's nice to sit down and have a drink and look at the sea view.”
