Guest Review: This place has to be the best place l have stayed in the Philippines. Value for money, it's freshly renovated and new with a personal interaction!! Absolutely book here!
Guest Review: I was stuck in El Nido with my family. Due to the wind, all boat services were canceled for days. The Beach House staff and especially Mrs. Jess moved mountains so that we could arrive in Coron and continue our vacation with my family. Arriving at the accommodation, our breath stopped. The place is perfect for relaxing. The interior of the room exceeded our imagination. Spacious and comfortable room. But what made our stay perfect was the staff. They did everything and even more to make our time there perfect.
Guest Review: The staff always did their best to cater to our requests, such as cooking the heaps of lobsters we bought at the market, setting up a boodle fight on our last day and organizing a tour to Coron. We will never forget the sunset view at the Villa or paddle boarding/kayaking towards the sun and I must mention that the food was amazing.
