Real guests • Real stays • Real opinions
This place is perfect! There are just 3 cabins and a huge stretch of uninhabited beach. It's off the grid so don't expect wifi or anything like that. Rochelle and her staff are so friendly and accommodating, I felt like part of the family. And the dogs are too cute, especially Brownie the puppy. Their authentic Filipino food is all organic, locally sourced, and absolutely delicious. The property is on the other side of Palawan about 45 minutes from El Nido so it's a perfect, tranquil getaway from the crowds.
