Keep in mind that the beach right in front of the hotels have strong undercurrents and is therefore not safe for small children. They can, however, take a dip in the swimming pools in any of these hotels. Children may also use the playground in Daluyon hotel while teens can take a tour using the ATVs at Sheridan, go on spelunking tours or try the Sabang zipline.

Apart from luxury hotels, Sabang also has a lot of other lodgings that can suit any budget. It is a perfect destination for backpackers who want to stay longer to get the most out of their trip.
