“Warm Hospitality, but Better Value Can Be Found Nearby”
The staff were very accommodating, kind, and helpful throughout our stay. They attended to most of our requests promptly and gave clear directions whenever we asked. The place itself was clean and neat, with a calm and relaxing ambiance. The location was also convenient since it’s not too far from the beach and the highway.

None, because we were not accomodated... the room we were suppose to occupy was occupied by someone else and they did not inform us. We need to go to a separate hotel for our accomodation. It was so hassle

“Cozy and peaceful place to stay after a busy day at the beach”
The lodge is comfy and has a feel at home vibe. Its a few meters away from the beach side where all the hustle and bustle are found. The Filipino breakfast was delicious. I would recommend you to stay here if you are going to be out exploring 70% of the time or if its an over the weekend kind of trip. Great value for money.

“enjoyable stay”
Location was really good so close to the beach. The owner and staff were really friendly and helpful. So trusting too, we could get anything from the shop and all we had to do was leave them a note. So handy when you need a drink or a snack in the middle of the night. We enjoyed our stay there.

Anthony and Malou are very welcoming. The sandstorm lodge and cafe is a small but great hotel. Unfortunately I only stayed for one night, but a next time I will definitely return here.

“Excellent deal, budget friendly!”
The hosts were very accomodating. The place was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. I wish we had more time to stay longer. They were responsive and made everything easy. If I ever return to this area, I wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again!
