Staying in Batanes will not be complete if you do not have an overnight stay in Sabtang Island. So Busy and I stayed in Pananayan Pension House, which is a good place to stay in Sabtang Island, Batanes.

Pananayan Pension House is a simple abode that has two floors and was built on the cliff side. It has the view of the lighthouse, and the beach.

The view
What we love about the pension house is the view ? The pension house is situated on the cliff-side beside the shore of Sabtang Island.

There are a few chairs on the veranda so we took the opportunity to relax…

Busy and I spent all of our afternoon with this view. We had a clear view of the lighthouse on the cliff and…

the beach just beside the pension house.

Breathtaking!
Our Room
Busy and I were assigned in an air-conditioned room in the first floor, but we opted to stay in the second floor because it has a veranda. Even though the bed was a double deck, it’s okay, we can still fit in one bed ?

There is also a room with a double bed in the second floor but it was occupied during our visit.
Pananayan Pension House has a total of 3 rooms in the ground floor and 2 rooms in the second floor. There will be more rooms in the future because there are still rooms under construction.
Comfort Room
The comfort room inside our room has a shower…

a sink, and a toilet bowl with bidet.

Common Area
There is a common area in the ground floor, and the second floor. This one is from the second floor.

There are sofa beds, and a television.
One dining table is available just outside the rooms.

Food
Finding a restaurant in Sabtang is a problem, good thing the pension house serves delicious food! It’s because they also have a catering business in Morong Beach, Sabtang.
These are the dishes that were served to us for dinner.



Other Information
- One-minute walk away from Sabtang Port
- No problem with the food because they can serve dishes by request.
Verdict
If we had a chance to go back to Sabtang Island, we will stay in Pananayan Pension House again. We had a warm welcome from the owners and they were very hands on. The owners even assisted us when we needed to go to the port. So if you are looking for a place to stay in sabtang, you have to stay here.
