Warm and welcoming guest houses are ideal for travelers who prefer laid-back accommodations with a personal touch. Usually family run, these hosts will provide local recommendations and even optional meals. Guest houses sometimes feature a cozy living room or a garden – and are still cheaper than most regular hotels.
We upgraded to the room with aircon and a private bathroom because of the extreme heat. It was spacious, cool, clean and comfy. Bathroom is old, but clean and enough waterpressure. Location near the city center was perfect for us. Nice host and sweet cat :)
Everything. Thank you for such a wonderful stay. You really went above and beyond to make our stay incredible and it was. Great recommendations for food, you kindly did our laundry when we couldn’t. Best quiet night sleep in a comfortable bed (no ear plugs required). Great location as you feel like you are in the local community and everyone is so friendly and I felt safe. Just a few mins walk to the main road and amenities. I wish I had longer at your place. Thank you.
The location - it is close to where the whale shark tours depart from and is nice and quiet. Large room with a balcony, we enjoyed the pool and reasonable food and drink prices.
Outstanding standalone Vila with excellent staff for breakfast and service in general.
Do not miss the extra charge chef named Chris for lunch and dinner. Delicious Filipino food and international dishes like never seen before.
You have to be in good condition to enter the area. It is only available by boat and depending on tide.
Quiet location, around the Vila all natural, full equiped house, thanks for everything.
The property is located exceptionally well on top of a hill of an island, hence only accessible by boat
It is beautiful appointed in a European style
The views from the property are amazing- and it is so quiet
But the highlight must be the staff who took care of me incredibly well, nothing was too much; and the meals cooked by Chris were all delicious
I have stayed in many 5 star Hotels around the world, but this is certainly something very special
Thank you Chris and Team for an unforgettable experience
The host Marylin was very nice and helped us with recommendations on where to go for vegetarian food or coffee. We could go in and out of the house as we liked. She also prepared breakfast (omelette with toast) for us for a small extra charge. If you need you can also rent snorkel gear from her.
Was good for a short stay.
Very cozy place with super friendly and helpful hosts.
The restaurant inside the property is amazing and local and international dishes are offered.
The whaleshark diving centre is near by so that you can have a nice walk from the city center further to the north to see those giants
Roberto and his wife are great hosts. I enjoyed the long chats with Roberto. Roberto was also so kind to give me a lift on his motorbike which was much appreciated.
The food in the attached restaurant was good and the staff very nice.
The room was large.
