Nothing

“This was a highlight of our vacation. We can deal with basic living.”

Wonderfully placed on the beach in a fisherman's village. You are truly deep down in the Philippine world. Very simple and very authentic. Rhea, who took care of us and our needs, is a total gem. She makes the whole thing work and helps get over all the little drawbacks. She is even able to provide meals if needed. We were there for four days and fell in love with her. The bay is beautiful, the water clear. You are in another world. If you can live a simple life, we recommend coming.

“excellent place for family bonding, but it would not have been as memorable without Rhea and Aldrin”

excellent location right on the beachfront, but it is not easy to get there you can buy groceries in the town if you wish to cook on your own or from the small shops in the village since the cottage is in a fishing village, you can also buy various type of fresh fish from the local fisherman the food prepared by Rhea for dinner was very delicious and the portion size was good special mention to Rhea and Aldrin who made our stay as comfortable as possible

“Lovely Cottage, Beautiful Beach, Amazing Host Rhea & Welcoming Villagers. 🤿🏝🏖”

We loved everything at this cottage. I stayed here along with my friends & we had such a lovely at the cottage & at the beautiful beach. All thanks to Rhea & Aldrin. Rhea was an exceptional host. Rhea made sure we were comfortable at the cottage every day by visiting us and making sure we had everything we need. It was an amazing experience living in this fishermen’s village amongst locals who were so humble & welcoming. We decided to cook our own food while staying at this property & did a bit of shopping in El Nido city before we could get to the cottage. There are 2 local stores in the village 200 metres away from the cottage that you could buy food, snacks, drinks, poultry & essentials. As we decided to have a BBQ night we even managed to buy fresh caught fish from a local fishermen in front of our cottage. This amazing experience we had at the cottage could not have been without Rhea. Thank you Rhea.

“Lovely cottage in a lovely villa”

My family and I had a wonderful time thanks to the kindness and courtesy of Rhea and Justin. It is a wonderful lodge to unwind, relax and enjoy. We take a piece of the Philippines home with us because Rhea and Justin will always be in our hearts.

“Amazing place in a remote village”

The cottage is right in front of the sea in a little remote village, this is very unique and beautiful ! Rhea and Justin were always there to help us, thank you again ! Internet is provided via Starlink, response times and speed is just like a good connection in a city. If you book this, be aware that this is in a remote location. You will need a 4WD to get there (1h30 away from El Nido) and electricity is limited, but it's worth it.

B’ fast was ok, but there were ca. PHP 2.500.- more charged than we ourselves had calculated. The price info on the menu is so confusing that in case of a dispute even an experienced judge might deem it helpful to call in an expert opinion. With the personnel, who were really helpful, we can find no fault! Justin should be especially mentioned in this context! Other aspects would be the advertising such as “the beach belongs to you alone”! Stray dogs will seize your shoes from the veranda and up to 25 boats anchor along the beach with a steady coming and going the whole day and those who knows the sound of the engines of these native boats will be in the clear what I am describing here. But however you may turn and twist it there may be some people who find it adventurous or even romantic to crawl over the bamboo side structures of the native boats and having their ears blasted away by howling engines. Jedem das Seine!

Nice people, good view, very good food

“Really good”

our stayed at fisherman’s cottage was completely stunning. the views, the village where is located and the ambiance is unbelievable. walking up in front of the sea just two steps from the sand at a place where there are no other tourists is something indescribable. but the best part of the hotel is without a doubt Rhea, the host who will look after you for every single thing. she is the best part of our trip. knowing her and getting help and recommendations from her changed completely our journey. Rhea and Justin are there 24/7 helping you with whatever you need and always smiling and with very interesting recommendations. i would completely suggest booking this compound because it allows you to disconnect from crowded El Nido but mostly because of Rhea and Justin.

Nice beach.

“Enjoyed our stay but marred by the lack of decent warm shower and hidden extras listed”

Location is beautiful , fantastic beach. Quiet and peaceful , away from the noise and crowds of most beach holidays Staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay Rooms were a good size .

The place is fantastic if you are looking for away from civilization time. The cottage is basic, clean and well maintained. The description of the property is very honest and detailed, doesn't overpromise things, so you really know what you are getting. Rhea and her brother Justin are managing the property and are very kind and attentive to the guests' needs. Well ahead of our arrival Rhea reached out to us, confirming our preferences and requests. They helped to arrange boat tours for island and beach hopping. The cottage has a wide variety of board games, snorkels and kayaks, that you can use during the stay.

The place is a little bit isolated but its definately worth the ride. Amazing experience in local village with great people. The beach is so nice and Rhea and Justin are such good people who are always there to help. They definately made our stay there perfect and we will come back for sure.

“We still enjoyed our stay despite not having so much facilities they have. Luckily there host RHEA is there to help us.”

The property is next to the beach. The host @RHEA and her brother JUSTIN are very nice and friendly and was helping us all throughout our stay.

“It was all worth it. Although getting there was tough, the place didn’t disappoint.”

“relaxing haven”

Location is amazing, set in front of a beautiful beach with amazing sunsets. Caretakers went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable and were always on hand. Amazing people.

“Exceptional except the niknik bring insect repellant is a must! Just expensive the transport service”

We like everything one of them is privacy. Accomadating staff specially to Rhea and Justin we love how they taking care of us and the food they prepare for us so delicious. Even they don't have heater in the shower still can manage. All day have electricity. Fresh caught fish from the fisherman every morning and evening you can buy to them cheap price😊.Have some small mini store nearby nothing to worry if you forgot to buy some essentials needs. You can buy fresh local bread just beside of the cottage☺. Maybe we will comeback next year with the tea tree oil or virgin coconut oil for the Nik-NiK. 😁 Once again Thank you so much to Rhea and Justin your the best😘

“AMAZING”

the beach and the location : we were alone on an amazing beach

“Relaxing, beautiful and friendly environment.”

The location was beautiful. The sand was clean and the water was wonderful. Great location in regards to accessing the beach. There were also a few stores right by if we needed water etc., so that was very accommodating. The local people were very friendly and approachable.
