SAL'S Beach situated along the southern coastal portion of Ormoc City became a favorite relaxation place for most of the City folks. Picnics, reunions, birthday celebrations, small get together and the like are usually held in a make shift hall of bamboos and nipa. Several cottages spread all over the place with sporadic coconut trees providing refreshing coolness to the environment. On Sundays and especially during summer holidays, the place is full; people have to make week-long reservations just to be assured of an accommodation. Later on, people coming from neighboring towns keep coming that made the beach congested.

It was because of this need, that the family of Mr. Sabin A. Larrazabal, decided to venture on another business, this time a bigger one-the SABIN RESORT HOTEL which is spread out in a flat two hectare terrain, Mr. Larrazabal conceptualized the whole project helped by a young architect, Roy Perez, together with Cebu's Doro Barandino who did the interior.

The resort has a quality of openness that gives one an encompassing view of a huge ectomorphic swimming pool and a panoramic mountainous range of Merida where the sun sets everyday to change its monochromatic tints that turns the hotel grounds into a lush setting.

Being one of Ormoc's finest, if not the City's pride, Sabin Resort Hotel gives life and comfort to all who seek refuge and rest from the maddening crowd, making the hotel true to its mission… a home away from home…!
