Wandering Tourist – Sabin Resort, Ormoc City,, Leyte

Wandering Tourist – Sabin Resort, Ormoc




June 28 – 30 we needed to go to Ormoc for supplies to keep working on the house. We went to Citi in Ormoc because we knew they had the supplies we needed for plumbing. We planned to stay in Ormoc  for 3 days because we planned to island hop to Cebu to find an underwater camera.

We stayed at the Sabin Resort Hotel in Ormoc. It is a 5 star facility. It has a great swimming pool and good restaurant. It cost 2400 pesos (about 60 dollars) a night. The room was clean with good beds but the shower was needing replacement. The resort has a "no outside food/drink in the room" policy. Probably so you have to go to their restaurant. And, it has the added benefit of keeping the rooms clean and bug free.  Most rooms open up to a veranda with a view of the pool or the seaside.  It also has a sitting area for you to enjoy should you decide to stay close to your room.

The staff were very pleasant and very helpful.  There were a lot activities going on while we were there.  There was a bridal shower, a baby shower, a conference and something else but it was a quiet pleasant stay for us.  The restaurant faces the bay and we watched the ships and barges come and go from Ormoc port.  The hotel's ground is well kept and there is a view deck with lots of sitting area to enjoy the lazy afternoon or night.  We ordered halo-halo one night and settled on a bench by the sea.  The restaurant has an al fresco style dining with a band that plays nightly.



If we have to stay the night in Ormoc again, we will stay at the Sabin Resort.

Thank you once again for following.  Enjoy life to the fullest and God bless.  We love you all.
