The Philippines is home to some of the most hospitable people in the world and this resort's owner and staff and most people in Olango Island are a perfect representation of how hospitability should be, reminding me so much of the people in Coron.

SWIMMING POOL, BEACH AREA AND THE BOARDWALK
Sagastrand Beach Resort has 2 swimming pools, the new one is situated near the expansion area and the other one is beside the reception area. I love it that they use seawater in their pools. Just like the rest of Olango beaches, San Vicente where Sagastrand Beach Resort is situated is also blessed with white sand beach but unlike Santa Fe in Bantayan Island, when it's low tide in Olango Island, you really can feel that it is indeed low tide, thus the use of boardwalks, you can  find them in the marine and bird sanctuaries and at this resort.
