The welcome at the shore

It’s been mentioned many-a-time over around tropical paradise locations - the hospitality is intense! This is exactly what you will sense from being greeted by the welcome at the shores of Sabang. It is easy to think they are being paid to give each and every visitor a warm reception, and perhaps they are, but it still feels great!

Residents and off-shore merchants

As you make your way towards Mermaid Resort, and as you go around the town during your stay in Sabang, you will run into a myriad of smiles. From the residents to the shop keepers in the homely streets, you feel the urge to engage in small talk with everyone.

Mermaid staff

The Mermaid Resort staff is all about making every moment of your stay, the highlight of your holiday. From people at reception, to maintenance and housekeeping, to those waiting for you at the bar and restaurant, exquisite service is at its utmost. Go ahead and engage in conversation with them and you will learn a thing or two about having fun at Puerto Galera that may be privy to a select few.

The Mermaid Dive Center folk

If you are in Sabang for the diving and marine life exploration, then those manning the Mermaid Dive Center and fellow Mermaid divers will be your best friends throughout your stay. When around these people - the jolly and highly qualified Master Instructor Bob, to the very pleasant Dive Master Jeff, to boatmen and service crew - it’s bound to be a truly worry-free dive vacation.

Beach folk and on-shore merchants

As you walk along the beaches around this beautiful locale, you are transformed into a willing participant to the delight of tropical life. Here you meet different kinds - from fellow travelers eager to share experiences, to beach bums who have an infectious enchantment, to merchants of wares that are far from common, to even the most adorable dog.

Why we keep coming back

Sabang is more than just a destination. It’s an invitation.

As a beginning diver friend calls it, this place is like Peter Pan’s Neverland and everyone is welcome!
