It was hard to find a beautiful place but far away from the main town. The road to get in is really bumpy and long. The shower is cold, and power cuts The food is nice and so was the staff

“One of the best places in Palawan. Don’t miss it !!!”
This place was like home away from home . From the moment we arrived we loved Zhayas . Staff is exceptional and very kind , they became like our second family . Cha , Rona , Kyle and all of them went out of their way to help us with anything we needed . I thought this is the place I would love to stay in for at least another month and we probably would ( had we had more time ) . The drive to the huts is beautiful , little dirt road surrounded by jungle and tall coconut palm trees . Beach is stunning and throughout our 7 day stay there , we saw hardly any people on it . Just be careful when you walk there because it had some scatters broken glass . But the beach is pristine with soft white sand , just beautiful. Huts in Zhayas are comfortable with ole ty of shelves and storage to put your staff in . They have bar right on the beach and the food is amazing . We tried many dishes of their menu and loved every single one of them . Try their spicy seafood curry with coconut milk , also chicken curry and their burgers . Soooo yummie . We were group of 4 and we all said we would definitely come back soon . This place is a slice of paradise , away from hustle and bustle of El Nido town . Ride to town is about half an hour . I will million percent recommend Zhayas if you’re looking for a nice tranquil place . We were sad to leave :(

The property was peaceful, on the beach, food was also great. You can have private beach like experience. The staffs are very good. People are very good. We can enjoy the ocean day in and day out. Very secluded from the city. Only thing is far from Airport and city so therefore we got the secluded environment. We had lot fresh air and enjoyed the nights beside the ocean. Very peaceful, serene and calm and the restaurant was lively. Met a lot of good people from various parts of the world. Had great stay.

“We definitely do not recommend this accommodation”
We definitely do not recommend! Due to the accommodation, our stay did not take place and we lost money. Long before our arrival, we tried to contact the accommodation and arrange some things, the accommodation did not respond at all. We tried via booking, facebook, whatsapp and calling the numbers - no result. There was no possibility of cancellation. We contacted the Booking administrator to resolve the matter, the accommodation did not even contact this administrator. In the end, we found another accommodation and obviously we did the right thing. Unfortunately, we lost our money and there is no way to get it back because the accommodation is still silent.

“Great place to stay off the beaten track. Very friendly and accommodating staff”
So close to the beautiful beach. 5 hrs drive from Porta Princesa. Very clean tidy accommodation. Just a note no hot water and air con available. Fans in all rooms. This didn’t matter to us and enjoyed it regardless. Staff super friendly and accommodating.
