Four Points Palawan's sustainability advocacy

Formerly known as the Sheridan Beach Resort and Spa, which was considered as one of the country's pioneering green resorts, the resort's management has been taken over by the Marriott Bonvoy Group under its Four Points by Sheraton brand.

Palawan, a tourism hotspot, is known for its beautiful beaches which have become a favorite of adventure-seeking travelers.

The international resort and nature sanctuary, the first of the multinational brand's hotels to open in the country, is the first of its kind to come up in Sabang. It lies on a beautiful 5.3-hectare beachfront property along the pristine Sabang coast, with 168 rooms and full amenities, making it the perfect base for exploring Sabang's natural attractions.

According to the 25-year Marriott veteran hotelier and current general manager of Four Points Palawan Dietmar Platz, the town of Sabang is home to a wealth of natural attractions that include the famed Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park, Sabang Mangrove Forest and the Sabang Waterfalls.

"We have eight kinds of forests around us, and many opportunities to encounter Palawan's unique wildlife," Platz said. It offers attractions accessible from the resort such as the nearby Iwahig Firefly Watching Mangrove and Wildlife Park and Isla Felomina, which is just a short boat ride away.
