On first impression I feel in love with the place. It's set in really colourful gardens, the beach looked fantastic and there was no wifi-minimal electricity so the rest of the world felt, well, a world away. We paid a bit extra to have a solar fan in our bungalow and I think that is worth doing. Obviously I can't... More

The Resort is located in Cacnipa Island, accessible by boat from Port Barton, half way between El Nido and Sabang. The Beach is very beautiful and suitable for swimming and snorkeling. The room in which we stayed was simple, clean and at a good price. The staff is very kind and helpful. They can arrange boat transportation to Sabang and... More

We spend 6 wonderful days here. Staff are great, and they do a very good job making you feel like a valued guest. The food is great and fairly priced. The cottages are cosy, and clean and we had ok sleep even without fan. The beach is beautiful, and so are the surrounding islands. The house reef might not impress... More

Difficult place for settling your bill, as that means the end of your stay. 45min by boat from Port Barton, or you can also rent a boat from Sabang (about 2hrs) or El Nido (about 4hrs). Little gem, private beach on an island that I believe further inhabited. Staff is very friendly, also are the dogs. About 16 huts/lodges at... More

We spent three nights at this fantastic resort on Cacnipa island and it was truly wonderful! Set in beautifully manicured gardens, the individual cottages are spacious, clean and very nicely made. All of them have great sea views too. The restaurant was also very nice with a good selection of fresh, catch-of-the-day fish and the service from the ladies was... More

I'm very happy we decided to spend two days here after visiting the Underground River. We were greeted by a smiling lady, Weng, who graciously showed us what vacant units were available, which was the whole resort. We choose a nipo hut style cottage for $21 per night with a solar fan. It was large and clean, with mosquito netting... More

This was one of the most memorable places we stayed on our whole trip in April 2012. We just missed turtles hatching, but we enjoyed ourselves quite a bit and found it a very relaxing few days. The food is excellent and have new dishes each day. We stayed in the main building (850/night) and the rooms were clean with... More
