Bambua Lodge and Restaurant, the nicest among the small Palawan resorts in Sabang Palawan, is a kilometer away from the village. Bambua Lodge is located in a beautiful area surrounded by mountains and rice paddies, just beside the St. Paul Palawan Underground River National Park. Bambua Resort is on a dirt road that connects Puerto Princesa Palawan to Sabang.











The Bambua Resort on Palawan island is perched on a small hill, a five-minute walk from the road through a well-maintained path that leads to a wooden bungalow set at treetop level. This serves as the restaurant and reception area. In summer, tables are set in the garden.





Andre and Rosalie Dartmann, a German-Filipino couple, who are full of ideas in extending their property and improving its comforts, own and manage this lovely Palawan resort. Note that Sabang Palawan is still remote and it is this isolation that gives its particular charm.


The atmosphere is informal. Several tiny and very simple bungalows are scattered in the garden. The interiors are very basic and common as well with showers and toilets outside. Andre has also constructed four detached and delightful bungalows.






These four bungalows are spacious with a bathroom, a double bed with a mosquito net and a small lounge corner. The view that you get from the terrace is exquisite, overlooking rice paddies and mountains from a distance.






From Sabang Palawan, you can also hire a banca at the pier, and go to the unspoiled and serene beach of Panagumian, 30 minutes away, and 10 minutes away from the Palawan Underground River National Park.
