Sablayan hotel rooms a the Independent

"Bad points : no towel rack or hangers in the bathroom; bed sheets were seemingly clean but had a grainy feel; there were bed bugs leaving us itchy all over; early check out (10am) despite 2 pm check in; no free breakfast; Good points: friendly staff; proximity to the venue of our meeting Overall: not recommendable; definitely not worth the money i paid for"

"Very appealing to the kids the design and lay out of the pool. The big pail at the top.is very attractive."

"A beautiful property. The pool was very nice. The staff were VERY friendly! The room was huge. Older property. But the bed was comfortable (memory foam). Coffee maker in the room. No safe. A balcony overlooks the pool and the ocean. A spectacular sunrise in the morning. Breakfast include. The property is very isolated from anything. No stores. You cant walk to anything - too far. I needed a ride to hlget to the highway so i could catch the van to San Jose. The beach was rather unkept and the ocean looked dark green and not too inviting. The photos of the beach looked fantastic. But, in reality, it was not that nice. But, again, it was very windy making tue water choppy this visit."

"The hotel was very clean. The room was very nice. Bed was comfortable. No coffee maker in the room. The pool was great. But nowhere to lay in the sun - tiny area around the pool tsken up by plants. THE NOISE, DAY AND NIGHT! A bunch of chickens or roosters squawked at random hours throughout the night, for hours!! OMG! I was exhausted from lack of sleep! 11 pm, 1:30 am, 4 am, 6 am and then all day.. and at the pool, the hotel must be in the middle of some sort of metal grinding shop or construction going on all day. No relaxation what so ever. As for the restaurant in the hotel.. Only breakfast is served. Lots of staff. Then thats it. I walked around town, but, there are no restaurants that I'd eat in. Theres nothing to do in this town either. No sight seeing. I walked down to the pier about 1.5 km away. Dirty. Tiny. No beach. Water is dirty. Smells. I would avoid this town. If you can handle the noisy chickens, I think this it the only hotel? But, best to stay in the van and get to San Jose and then Coron asap."
