Villa Kulintang was truly a once in a lifetime experience, if you like nature, peacefulness and local experiences you can’t miss it. It is tucked away in a remote area, after arriving at Pilar port you are transported by an outrigger canoe to the Villa, a really special experience. The villa itself is beautiful, and you have it all to yourself. It’s located at the top of the garden with two floors overlooking the jungle with a glimpse of the water. The terrace on the lower floor is perfect for chilling out, doing yoga and enjoying the surroundings. We spotted several collared kingfishers flying around the garden which was amazing. While we were there we also enjoyed some tours around the local area in the villa’s outrigger canoe. We went to some local white sand beaches and sandbars which were really beautiful and were shown some of their local sea grapes agriculture. The thing that makes this place really special is the people. The owner was always available for communication and ensured things were running smoothly. Further, there is a whole team of people who stay on premises (at the end of the villa’s garden) and I immensely appreciated their hard work and talent, which really made our experience in Villa Kulintang that extra bit special. They tend the grounds beautifully and made lots of suggestions for what local experiences we could have while we were there. In addition, we opted to have our meals cooked for us and I’m so glad we did! Chef Chris cooked us an array of incredible feasts, allowing us to try some local delicacies in the comfort of our ‘own home’. In addition, a special thanks to Sylvia and Gemma who provided us with fantastic company every day and coordinated to ensure our every need (and more!) was met. Gemma also gets credits for her amazing artistic skills when it comes to decor, every day the dining table was a new work of art!

Friendly, free use of kitchen, location, clean room

Really nice and clean room and bathroom and also a comfortable bed. Jurie, the house caretaker, was also lovely and made everything perfect.

Clean and spotless. All facilities are very good! Free toiletries and coffee every day! I clean my room every day.

Lovely comfortable accomodation. Very nice family business.

Wonderful breakfast, perfect location next to the whale shark center, fabulous staff. Look, this is a property on a busy road, so headphones go a long way. The rooms are basic, but perfectly fine for a three-day stay. The menu is extensive and surprisingly interesting in terms of interpretation and creativity. (e.g. kinilaw included fresh orange juice, cucumber mango salad with a vinegar-honey dressing). The gals Dette and Jess were so lovely and attentive.

The host Alfred was amazing. He was the most kind host I have experienced. Very helpfull and even made a meal for me. The location is good, close to restaurants.

Lovely and friendly owners who have a beautiful and calm place to stay
