Detailed Reviews
I sadly had a poor experience at Big Apple while I was visiting Puerto Galera. We went for drinks because we heard it was a cool place. It is true that it has cool decor. It's hidden back down a pathway where you wouldn't expect to find it. The only other clientele there while we had our drinks were old white men with young Filipinas on their arms. Not a shock in Puerto Galera.
The issue I had with the experience was when it came to settling our tab. When the bill came it was almost twice the price listed in the menus we had been given. When we pointed this out they pulled out another menu with higher prices and told us the menus they'd given us were incorrect. It felt like a bait and switch.

As soon as we got off the transfer boat we knew we had made a mistake coming to Sabang beach. Shabby walkway on seafront leading to Big Apple Dive resort, lots of hawkers trying to sell the usual tat and a general air of decay about the place. We had paid 50% deposit for 2 nights so decided to make the best of it and look for somewhere nicer to stay. Big Apple is in the middle of the beach area. The beach itself is almost non existent and what beach there is looks dirty. The room was OK for the money and far enough back from the bar area that we were not disturbed by any noise from the bar which was usually busy with large elderly inebriated western men entertaining their young philipina girls round the pool table area. We ate at the restaurant and the food was fine, room service was good and the beds comfortable although the rooms themselves were tired looking and in need of some tlc. The inclusion of a pack of condoms amongst the basket of nuts and chocolates on top of the fridge was some indication of the normal clientel expected!! The pool area needed a good sweep when we arrived with lots of leaves and dead flowers lying around but this could have been caused by recent rain.
Sabang beach is very unattractive and the main back alley passes several pole dancing bars screened from view by curtains and guarded by security who invite you in. Not a nice place for families and we found nicer beaches by walking along the walkway to small and big Lalaguna beaches although even these did not come near the quality of the beaches we had left on Palawan or seen on a previous visit to the Visayas. A much better option would have been White Beach, a 40 minute boat ride away. The only reason, apart from the girls, to stay at Sabang would be for the diving, and even this we found very disappointing and not a patch on our previous experiences of diving in the Philippines around the Visayas.

Went with a couple of buddies in November. Check in was very easy and the girl at the front desk remembered me from last year at another hotel. I was first booked into room 21 which turned out to be a horrible room. The bathroom was a wet room which meant everything got wet when you took a shower. She moved me to room 26 the next day without any issue.
The pool was unusable and was DARK GREEN! It looked like it had not been maintained for quite some time. The guys I came with took lessons in it- YUCK!
Hotel Staff:
The front desk girls were amazing. Anything you could possibly need, they were on it. Thank you ladies!
The room was cleaned every day with a fresh set of sheets. There was the common problem of them forgetting to leave towels? But the ladies at the front desk took care of it :)
Restaurant:
The menu was varied and reasonable. The Pizza was good and huge. We learned the hard way after the three of us each ordered our own. In the end we all shared one. The staff in the restaurant are beautiful, friendly and i will miss them each and every time i go to another restaurant. The lady that manages the staff was a lot of fun and made everyone feel welcome.
Bar
The bar is really part of the restaurant, but there are two pool tables and anyone can play. You simply put your name on the board and you play the winner of the prior game. Loser pays the rack fee of only 15 pesos. Drinks were priced about average for the area. At night the bar girls come out so if its not your thing, sit over in the restaurant area.
Rooms:
You can see the photos of the rooms on the website as well as facebook. They are real pictures so what you see if what you get. The mattress pad was a bit thin for my 200 pound frame and I am a side sleeper. I actually have bruises on my hip from pressing on the board through the pad. I was surprised as well!
The showers have wall mounted water heaters that run for about 3-5 minutes and then have to power cycle. So short showers are a requirement. My upgraded room (#26) had a divider wall between the shower and the toilet so the room stayed reasonably dry. Toilet paper was provided but I did have to ask the helpful ladies at the front desk for additional since housekeeping forgot to restock me. The front desk girls really are the best!
Plenty of drawer and closet space
The rooms had a mini bar with beer and soda with a few snacks. The prices were actually the same as the bar so it was nice to not have to worry about raiding the fridge.
Diving operations:
Bunny was the DM for most of my dives. He was funny and knowledgeable. They have daily dives at 9am 11am and 2pm with a night dive upon request. I dove all but one day. Price was 1100 pesos per dive for air.
They took care of everything for you. Your gear was setup, put on the boat, loaded on your back and taken back into the boat. After dives they broke it down and cleaned the gear. The last day I found my gear drying out and set for me to pack up. If you don't have your own gear, rentals are free.
They are open to requests for dive sites and there was never more then 5 divers in the group
Now that I have the wonderful things....
Cons:
The housekeeping staff kept forgetting to leave fresh towels
The pool is disgusting
Shower water had low pressure
Bad smell coming from the drain (front desk girl took care of it)
Service is a bit slow in the restaurant in the mornings when you are trying to get ready for diving
They need to spray for bugs near/in the rooms - I was eaten alive
With everything said - I WILL BE BACK NEXT YEAR!
I simply have to decide if I want to save the large amounts of money to stay at Big Apple or dish out the cash to stay at Atlantis. Either way, I recommend staying at the big Apple with proper expectations.

Response from BADiveResort, Director of Sales at Big Apple Dive Resort
Responded Dec 30, 2015
Thank you for your review of our resort, glad to hear your positive comments on several issues, we will work on the attention of the housekeeping staff, there are checklists to follow but it seem that has not happened in your case. We are not proud of Room 21 and its one of the oldest in the resort but we try to keep it up to some standard, we apologize to this. With regards to the swimming-pool, you happened to visit when we where changing the whole filtration system, going from chlorine to salt and installation of lights, the pool is very instrumental in our dive shop and will always be prioritized and maintained to the highest standard. We do apologize for this but it was a priority project to upgrade before the peak season. We look forward to see you back soon again next year.

Had a great stay for a few days. The highlight was the personal care give helping my 32 year old nephew experience diving. Due to lifelong heart condition he was not able to experience a full PADI program experience. We started with snorkling and moved to actual diving of reef. I can guarantee very few people and places would have taken the time and care needed to give him this experience. Truly a lifetime high-light for a person with health challenges. Has even motivated him to try to improve his cardiac and lifestyle health. There were NO hidden charges for all of this personal service.
Place was clean and comfortable. I will warn is has somewhat of a lodge feel as opposed to 4-star hotel feel, but this just made it all the better. It is hidden but not too hard to find on google maps. It is very near the beach and action, but because it is tucked away some, it has better prices and less noise for a central location.
Food was great! Service was great! Very attractive and friendly staff.
Place was recommended by 80 year old ex-pat that has lived nearby or 40 years.
THANKS so much guy!

This is a friendly, laid-back dive resort with rooms surrounding a lushly landscaped pool, restaurant and bar area. The management and staff are very friendly and helpful. The location is as central as it gets in Sabang, a few steps from the boardwalk and nightlife.

What a pleasant place to stay. Shielded from the hot sun with a beautiful swimming pool. A short 5 minute walk into “downtown” Sabang. Big bang for your buck there. Accommodations and dining are second to none. Met the owner; super nice guy who is a wealth of knowledge of the area. Pleasant staff. Great place for families, couples, singles and most of all the dive shack. You will NOT be disappointed.

I have been staying at Big Apple for almost 5 years with my long time partner (1-3 times per year we drive down from Manila to go scuba diving)
Often we bring the family and book several rooms. Last month I booked a room for our arrival on the 26th / Christmas for a stay of 8 days. As always, our reservation was confirmed and we prepared to go scuba diving at Big Apple.
Only days before our arrival I received an SMS message from the “smile in your face but cheat and lie behind your back” Jona that our room was canceled!
It’s not acceptable for a regular guest of many years! She didn’t even try to help, instead, she dropped my call and never answered all my calls since then!
My partner and I were left on the beach at arrival despite having confirmed reservation with nowhere to stay over Christmas...that is NOT the way to re-live the Christmas story!
Big Apple and the lying front-desk manager did NOTHING to help. The fact that we been staying there 1-2 times a year and have spend several hundred thousand peso at this resort seemed to make NO difference at all!
So, don’t book and trust BA for they don’t care about their regular/returning guests at all, and you cannot trust their reservations!

I want to sincerely apologize for the poor service you received from one of our employees. That employee is no longer working for the Big Apple. In fact, the entire management staff and all employees from that time period are no longer employed by the Big Apple. The Big Apple is now staffed with new management and new employees dedicated to providing the best customer service possible. We appreciate your business over the past 5 years and again apologize for the poor customer service you received. On your next trip to Sabang, please stop in and talk with the new Big Apple manger about the positive changes we have implemented.

We stayed one night at the Big Apple. We went to this hotel mainly because of its good references on Tripadvisor.
It surely is a nice hotel with a swimmingpool. For us, the problem was the older foreigner men with, often young, Philippino women staying there. The place was crowded with it. So if you are a couple or not feeling happy with this, just be warned. The Big Apple is renowned for this in Sabang.

Our stay was great until the last day. I took an Open Water Diving Course. I trained with Peter. He is a great instructor. I recommend him highly.
Everything was going great and I was going to leave positive feedback. We ate there for dinner, as we had 3-4 times. It's a little pricy but good. I ordered some fruit flan and gave a little to my 3 year old daughter. The next morning, we both had violent cramps, diarrhea and vomited. The hotel staff didnt take us seriously until my daughter threw up in the lobby area. They all started passing blame around like it was a football. No one would take responsibility, apologize, show any concern, or offer any compensation. We were about to get on a boat back to Batangas, so being sick wasn't the best thing. Needless to say, I threw up on the boat, on a street in Manila, and had an awful day. When I got home, I needed medication and couldn't work properly for several days.
I e-mailed the manager Neil about it but have yet to receive a reply. It's been over a month. I was going to give him a chance to make things right before posting this.

On 20 Dec 2013 we emailed Big Apple the following email:
We are a group of 17 people (12 are divers, the other spouses) and we would like to book 8 rooms at your resort, plus diving trips for the divers.
One of us has stayed at your resort before and it looks like your resort would be perfect for our group.
We are based in Amsterdam and will fly to Manila and rent a bus to go to Batangas and take a longboat to Puerto Galera.
The period we would like to stay at your hotel is Mon 17 March arrival and March 26 departure.
Can you let us know if that is workable for you, and which rooms will be available during that time?
We received no reply whatsoever.
We resend our booking request on 22 Dec and again on 2 Jan.
And although we received return receipt, we received no reply.
Clearly this resort is not interested in attracting business, so on 9 Jan 2014 we wrote the following:
We assume you are too busy to even reply an email and do not want our group to stay at your resort.
We understand, and we have this morning confirmed out booking with another resort who were happy to have our group in March, both for accommodation, food as well as diving.
We wish your resort all the best, for you must be booked 100% full 365 days per year to not even show the courtesy to reply our emails.
I am sure you do not mind that we let the rest of the world on Tripadvisor and other sites that you are too busy to book any more rooms for 2014 and too busy even to reply to booking/reservation emails.
All the best.
As accustomed by now; no reply.
Needless to say we booked our whole group at an other resort happy to have our business.

A car is usually 2500-3000P from Makati to Batangas. If you have Grab Car app on your phone, you can try them...
By Bus:
Bus Terminals near the corner of Taft Avenue and Gil Puyat Avenue (formerly Buendia), Pasay City – nearest Ninoy Aquino International Airport and Domestic Airport.
Bus Terminal near Ali Mall, Araneta Center, Cubao, Quezon City.
Bus Terminal in EDSA corner Kamias Street, Quezon City.
Bus Terminal in Alabang, Muntinlupa City.
Take an air-conditioned bus going straight to Batangas Pier (shown in photo above) via CALABARZON Expressway. Travel time to Batangas pier is about 2 hours and the fare is less than 200 pesos.
I agree you want the rooms by the pool which is other end from the bar
