“A week on the Beach”

We spent a week at JCAH. The guesthouse was situated in a beautiful location on a white sand beach, had friendly staff and quiet atmosphere. The food was reasonably priced and we enjoyed swimming and exploring the area. We would love to return!

Everything was amazing, Araceli is off the tourist grid and can be difficult to get to, but this was our 2nd time to Araceli, first time to stay in JCAH, and we will gladly return there on our next holiday. The food was the best that we have ever eaten in over 30 years going to the Philippines, and cheaper than any other hotel. Owner is Analyn, and her Son and daughter in law were amazing. You must book the new white cottage at the end of the gardens near the beach.

“Deep Calmness”

Maria was sooo helpfull. She is a good cook.It is a remote island so it is diffucult to find everything you look for but she created food from scrach to pleased us i really appriciate that she looked after us so well.And Mrs. Ann was great person we felt lucky that she was there to respond any question that we may have. It is a family run place a lovely family. The bungolaw has shower , toilet and AC. It was very clean room and we had cleaning preodicly..t Wifi was good as well. It is not a touristic spot that is why i choosed it. It was fantastic to have your own beacj and swim all alone at that beach evev in low tide.It is perfect spot to whom look for quite peacefull rest laid back holiday away from the world..

Amazing staff, beautiful beach. Soooo accommodating … get there before the hoards arrive

“10/10. If you are looking for calm, beauty and humanity. Live like an islander.”

If you are looking for calm, beauty and humanity. It's a 10/10 on every points. In front of JCAH, a white sand beach strewn with vertiginous palm trees. A few meters further on, a rocky beach filled with colorful shells and corals. You can rent a scooter to explore the island or a boat to discover the other ones around, surrounded by this beautiful crystal clear water. Araceli is the anti-city destination, the re-establish your inner humanity destination, the anti-touristic place. There are no bars or restaurants. You will cook for yourself (there is a nice functional kitchen), eat street food and share meals with locals. There are no maps, travel brochures, destination signs. You will have to ask questions and communicate with locals to explore this beautiful island yourself. Snorkeling, fish, hike, sleep... Live like an islander. One of my best time in Asia, my stay was amazing thanks to the place and the people there. Thank you Analyn and Annie for welcoming us and advising us during our stay. You were very helpful and reactive. We felt like with old friends. Goodbye until the next time!
