Limited menu with inconsistent pricing of breakfast items. Smiley, willing staff but seemingly not that knowledgable about things to do locally. The beach itself is a shallow somewhat spikey mudflat at low tide (100m to the reef) and the water was very turbid when the tide was in. Beyond the reef it was too rough to snorkel which was the main reason for booking here.. Strangely only one tide cycle each day for the time we were there (with high tide at ~1am...marvellous!), but then the usual 2 highs and 2 lows once we left. On which note was a day earlier than booked as we managed to extend our stay at Club Paradise Palawan on Busuanga which was indeed a paradise.

Beautiful coastal setting. Lovely kingfishers doing their thing along the shore. A rustic beach chalet made to look more glamorous than it was in reality.

The food was relatively expensive for what you got.

Beautiful area, nice beach houses and friendly staff. Good place to have a little retreat from everything else.

The food cost more than the average meal in the Philippines.

Great location and convivial staff. Awesome snorkeling and free diving at the properties beach. Very relaxing and quiet.

Breakfast, lunch and dinner was the most expensive we have seen anywhere on the island and there isn’t anywhere else to go, not even a shop nearby to buy food unless you have transport means.

we enjoyed our room very much it was very luxurious with a big comfy bed, staff were friendly and happy to help with things like catching public transport and helping us organise to go see dugongs.

The price of dinner was 700php. Which is way too much. As there are no other places to eat nearby this is very frustrating. Also we were the only guests, which gave the place a bit of a strange vibe. There were 7 dogs running around, which we found a bit annoying.

Lovely hut. Breathtaking view from the bathroom. You can sit in the tub and enjoy the scenery.

Unfortunately the meals were a bit expensive. The property had warned us in advance that this may be the case (remote island, inflation etc). We were glad we had the heads up or may not have brought enough cash.

Beautiful remote setting. Very comfortable and clean accommodation. Great staff. Great meals & portions. Good communication through email.

Property prices are at a premium however the finishings and furnishings were not! Water pressure in the room was low and sometimes there was NO water. (2 mornings). To empty the spring water tub, the internal plug didnt work (had to use the general tap on the outside of the building). The internet is on a mobile phone network but the incorrect one for the area (SMART does not have great coverage) - Frequent dropouts of internet therefore. I know this as I spent time deciphering the internet connectivity one morning! I came with the idea of doing mountainbiking but all the bikes were rusty (suspension blocked through rust). No available maps as to where any mountainbiking (or walking) could be done in the area. Highly expensive pickup/dropoff rates to the airport (2500 pesos - over 50USD). Expect more if you wish to go to Coron. Tribal Adventures (who also run this property) do offer tours, but this is in Coron, not at this hostel. Dugong Dive Centre (who can do boat pickups from this property) suggested I go to the hotel just down the beach as their scooters were cheaper than here. (they couldnt pick up on the days I was there due to the swell) This hostel is isolated from anywhere else on the island. If you do not have your own means of transport (motorcycle) this may be an issue.

Russ, who was on site, was super helpful but constrained by the overall state of the property which is suffering from a lack of repair. His cooked breakfasts were great as were his specials (note that the property offered expensive set meals but the cooks decided not to come in during the days I was at the property). The (fresh water spring supplied) pool in the room was an unexpected surprise. Pretty much had the whole beach to myself This is on the non-touristy side of the island, pretty remote from anything Links with Dugong Diving Center, though if their boat cannot approach the bay (high swells in December) you have to make your own way to their centre (20 minutes by van or scooter).

Nothing! I'm not a world traveler but was amazed at the beauty here.

Everything was so beautiful and the owner and staff very friendly and accommodating. I will definitely return.

In the middle of nowhere (which can be a good thing, but just be aware that you can't go and buy food anywhere else) which means it costs like 2000 pesos to get from there to the airport or to anywhere else on the island.

Lovely, huge, comfy bed. Big bathroom. Nice hot shower. Fan and aircon. Food was all right but expensive for what it was, and you can't go anywhere else to eat. Airport transfer - expensive but necessary. Super quiet and peaceful. They offer bicycle hire and kayak hire.

The prices of food. Prepare yourself. There are no other restaurants around and they charge a fixed 500 php per person for breakfast, 600 php for lunch and 700 php for dinner from a very limited menu (3-4 options with lunch being regurgitated dinner options). What you get is a pretty basic plate of food you'd pay less than half the price for elsewhere. By the time you add this up over a 24 hours period, you may as well have paid for a nicer room at a more expensive hotel where they don't trap you with such an overpriced fixed menu. This is what we'd have done if we had our time again.

The rooms are small and basic but nice, bed comfy, and the bath has a nice view.

Expensive transfer.

Really nice location right on the beach. The bungalows were really cool with their own bathtub with a seaview. There is a possibility to rent kayaks and bikes. Plus, the beer is cheap!
