Daluyon Beach and Mountain Resort

The Daluyon Beach and Mountain Resort’s remote location on Sabang Beach, combined with its thatched-roofed buildings creates a relaxed and quiet setting. The open-air lobby is furnished with comfy sofas and hand-carved wooden furniture. Rattan recycling bins can be found throughout this “green” property and there are solar panels to heat the water. Sabang beach is directly outside the hotel with hammocks strung between palms and lounge chairs on the sand. The relaxed vibe suits beach lovers, although the currents are often too strong for swimming. Many travelers choose this property for its proximity to the area's zip lines and popular Underground River.

The hotel is situated in Sabang, a small fishing village on the western coast of Palawan. Sabang Beach is directly outside the hotel but currents are often too strong for swimming. This area is a great starting point to explore the Underground River, which can be reached via ferries at the Sabang Boat Terminal a 10-minute walk away. Also within walking distance is the Sabang X Zipline. Since the location is remote it doesn’t suit tourists seeking a lively nightlife scene. There isn’t electricity in this village, so the few area stores and restaurants close early. The city center in Puerto Princesa is 90 minutes away by car via a winding road. The Puerto Princesa International Airport will take two hours by car. 

The hotel has 27 thatched-roof rooms and many command scenic beachfront views. The vibe is relaxed and warm, thanks to dark wooden floors and ceilings plus neutral-tone linens with plant motifs. Tropical paintings, fresh flowers on the beds, beach bags, and fishing-inspired decor add lovely beach elements. Rooms feel spacious, especially when the wooden doors leading to furnished patios or balconies are open. All rooms have flat-screen TVs, safes, DVD players with free DVD rentals, minibars, and coffee- and tea-making facilities. Bathrooms are simple, with walk-in showers, basic toiletries, and wall-mounted hairdryers. Eco-friendly features include recycling bins and water heaters powered by either natural gas or solar panels. 

Deluxe Rooms sleep up to six and have sofa beds in living rooms, while two-bedroom Junior Suites have living rooms, two balconies, and two bathrooms. The largest option is the two-floor, three-bedroom Daluyon Suite, which has a pool, four patios, four bathrooms, and a dining room.

The hotel sits right on the white-sand Sabang Beach, which has hammocks and lounge chairs for guest use. Beach volleyball and badminton are available, in addition to playground equipment for kids. The waters are sometimes too rough for swimming, so most prefer the two outdoor pools and the kids' pool. Massages can be arranged in tiki huts and other leisure activities include a game pavilion with a billiards table. A dimly lit gym is in a stand-alone structure with a punching bag and older cardio and weight machines. For gatherings, The Tent can fit up to 150 people with optional catering. Wi-Fi is free but it’s spotty in certain areas of the hotel. 

The main restaurant, Pawikan, is houses in an open-air pavilion and serves Filipino food with international accents for all three meals. Breakfast is included in room rates. Poolside dining is provided at the Tribu and there are cocktails available in the swim-up pool bar and at the beach bar.
