Hi, we stayed at Marco Vincent Resort, White Beach. There is a different Marco Vincent (same company)nearer Sabang. The one at White Beach cost us about 4000PHP per night 2 years ago, but it included return travel from Manila/White Beach/Manila, breakfast every morning, one evening meal and the choice of either a banana boat ride or in-room massage. We were there the week after the holiday season ended in May and the place was almost empty, only 2 other couples in the 4 days we were there. Getting from White Beach to anywhere else, including Sabang, is expensive by Filipino standards ie: 600PHP tricycle ride White Beach/Sabang/White Beach at night. You can hire a motorbike if you want, no idea of cost.
We found Marco Vincent resort to be of good Western hotel standard. Clean, efficient and safe. Good quality and portions of food. The swimming pool is excellent, ranging from 2 feet to 5 feet in depth, warm water. There are people on the beach trying to sell you "trinkets" etc, but a polite no thankyou and they don't persist. We hired a bangka for the morning, 1200PHP, it took us to Sabang and back, they ask if you want to dive or swim on the journey.
Sabang beach isn't very nice tbh, but it is the place to go for the nightlife, limited as it is. There are lots of small bars all up and down White Beach. In busy times, the place is packed, but off season is almost dead. There is a bar run by several bakla in the middle of the beach which was the liveliest!
My computer wallpaper is of Puerto Galera harbour. I have some photos on my computer but I don't know how to share them on this forum. Send me an email and I could post my pics to you.
We had a wonderful time at Marco Vincent and White Beach, I'm sure you will also. Regards, Alex and Analyn.
