this is not property related, but very saddening. Quite a few coral reefs are destroyed due to dynamite fishing during COVID. I hope the government and private initiatives can put effort into better protection of marine life and its restoration.

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.

On the way to the resort is quite dissappointing, so long journey in the rough rocky road. I mean the roads to go there is really bad. Some facilities listed in there page is not available, no karaoke, no hammock, and some board games aren’t available. During our island hopping, it says snorkling gear was included in out package u fortunately they are not provided, luckily the boat has 3 spares but 1 of that is broken.

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.

road going to the place

The place is amazing and the host Rhea and her brother are very hospitable.

Difficult to get to the location, Road is a dirt track and incredibly bumpy but adds to the experience I guess.

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.

Compared to other nice stays the price was high given the facilities. No wifi, poor water pressure (we showered using buckets) and no breakfast included. We would still stay again given the beach and seclusion but we stayed at other nice places for half the price (granted they weren't beachfront). There isn't really any food in town, it's a modest fishing village with only one place to buy food, when we went they had already sold out so we ate baked goods for dinner from the local bakery. The property offers food options but their pricing is comparable to El Nido tourist restaurants. Cheap by western standards but expensive for the Philippines, we're traveling long term so are always checking pricing. The beds were comfy but the pillows were very uncomfortable, we just didn't use them, they were very large and hard.

The location was amazing, right on the beachfront. It's very quiet and the beach is beautiful and clean. It's a tough rocky/dirt road to get there so there are very few tourists. They provided kayaks also which was a nice surprise. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

The cottage is far from civilization. It's about an hour and a half of unpaved road, and it was rough. We were just glad it wasn't raining. Also, a lot of drivers from El Nido town wouldn't even dare take us there so it took us awhile to find one who is willing to drop us off.

The place was spectacular. The beach was amazing, and the staff (Rhea&Jeffrey) were the highlight of our trip for being so kind and accomodating.

Water is scarce in this establishment and it is not necessary to explain in detail what this may mean to some guests. To be fair this is mentioned in the brochures and so it might be that climate activists would feel very much at home there!

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!

What an amazing find. I highly recommend the Fishermans Cottage. It was even better than described. All the amenities you need and very comfortable. The view is pretty hard to beat and the water was fantastic. The only thing not described in the booking was the amazing host, Rhea! Before arriving her communication was quick and she was very thorough in explaining everything about the cottage and helping to make arrangements for our transportation to and from the airport. She provided all the menu options before our arrival. When we arrived she was ready and waiting to greet us with cool towels. The village is beautiful and the people were so friendly. Rhea made the time to walk us through the village when we asked to. She prepared all of our meals and each dish was wonderful. We had all the privacy we wanted and she was there for us the instant we had any questions or needed anything. She and her brother Justin should be listed as amenities to the cottage. We had no idea we would be so catered to. I have been fortunate to travel all over the world but Rhea made this more then just a stay, she made our time an experience. An experience we will never forget. If you are considering booking here, you absolutely should. Our only regret was not staying longer.

Wifi is not included

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.

We like the property

It was very nice place

Stay away from this place! It isn't a hotel, more like a hostel. The toilet/shower room is located outside, shared by the three bedrooms, and you can't go there in your underwear because the housekeeper is also there. The toilet stinks, The shower has no hot water and a very poor water pressure. They actually put a disgusting container of water with a pot to manually pour on yourself. The high price doesn't match the reward. We paid more than 21,000php for two nights, escaped after one night, and the owner refused to refund us. I've visited lots of hotels, using Booking.com, including several in the Philippines, and it never happened to me before.

Nice beach.

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.

The niknik (sands fly) after they bite you is horrible must have insect repellant.Also the service transfer so expensive, I understand because of the rough road really difficult for cars to access except if you have 4X4 or a good driver like Kuya Aga high recommend just request to Rhea☺. But you should provide company vehicle and driver at least to be pick up at Brgy. Teneguiban for free or reasonable price for your guest.4,000php one way is too much if the pick up area is near around Teneguiban. It is understandable the amount of 4,000php if from El nido town or from the Lio Airport. Or I suggest if the weather is good must have free boat transfer with in check in Time like for example from Teneguiban port the pick up location since it is quite near.Also if you avail there Internet connection need to pay for us it is a bit pricey should be given FREE to there guest since the transfer service and per day for there rent of the villa is expensive and no network in the area please be considerable on your guest. In case of emergency no one can contact them I Hope you understand what I mean. By this your guest is happy after long hour drive in the rough road. I suggest to put some fence in your property the neighbood can just walk in and out. But there are all nice just for the privacy of your guest is better.

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😘

Truthfully the only concern was the travel to the location. However, we were aware it would be quite the adventure to get there so we did not mind at all! The destination was well worth it.

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.
