    We loved everything - from the first moment arrived till we had to leave. It was peaceful and tranquil experience. The staff were amazing and the food was excellent. There is a calm long beach right in front of your villa, where you may enjoy beautiful sunsets every evening. Last but not least there is good and accessible snorkeling, sup and kayak also available whenever you want to use them and a wide variety of daily excursions in case you want to explore the nearby area.

    That we had to leave!

    We took a risk booking San Nicolas as there were minimal reviews and it is a remote location, we are so pleased we did as our stay was the highlight of our trip! It is a piece of paradise for couples looking for a peaceful place to relax. Beach was very beautiful (pictures do not do it justice), it is a short trip to black island also which is a good excursion. Staff all lovely too, special thanks to the manager Abraham who was on hand for anything we needed during our stay including booking massages and arranging a late check out. Do not hesitate to book this place if you want a few days to switch off and relax, we dream of coming back one day.

    Absolutely thrilled with our experience at Javier and Abraham! From the moment we stepped foot on the premises, we were enveloped in an aura of excellence. The staff's dedication to hospitality was unparalleled, leaving us feeling not just welcomed, but truly cherished throughout our stay. Nestled in an idyllic location, every aspect of this retreat screams perfection. The picturesque setting, combined with the tranquil ambiance, made for a dreamlike escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. And let's talk about the breakfast - a culinary masterpiece that tantalised our taste buds and set the tone for each day of our stay. But what truly sets Javier and Abraham apart is its ethos and philosophy. It's not just a place to rest your head; it's a sanctuary for the soul, where mindfulness and rejuvenation are at the forefront of everything they do. The remote location of Busuanga served as the perfect backdrop for our journey into relaxation mode, and the journey to San Nicolas Private Beach took us even deeper into blissful serenity. Attempting to rate this oasis on a scale of 1 to 10 feels like an injustice. It transcends numerical values; it's an experience that defies quantification. Suffice it to say, Javier and Abraham have set the bar impossibly high, spoiling us for any other destination. If perfection had a name, it would surely be San Nicolas Private Beach with the top staff.

    Such a magical stay on SNPB. Can’t top the location, a breathtaking beach. Javier, Abraham and the team were amazing hosts and you’ll find it hard to beat Sandra’s cooking! We also did an excellent 2 island boat trip and also used their kayaks and paddle boards to go and snorkel at the reef in front of the beach. Pure bliss!!

    Where shall I start? The location is simply Heaven on Earth and Javier and his team make the whole experience even more outstanding. It begins with onboarding the banca to access the resort. The service, the food and the trip to Black Island. And, the super friendly and open team. A 10/10 doesn't reflect the experience. Thanks for having us, Javier.

    What a pleasant surprise! We took a chance on this place as there weren’t many pictures and reviews available online. But everything turned out to be AMAZING! The pick-up service was seamless. The hotel is like a dream, so gorgeous! The best part was we were the only guests there during our stay, so it was a private experience throughout. The staff took really good care of us with their kindness and hospitality. The food was absolutely delicious! We stayed for 4 nights and definitely had a hard time to say goodbye to this hidden gem!

    Only one point that can be slightly improved is that the personnel is very shy to ask questions if they do not understand the guests completely. But it was not an issue for us.

    Ultimate destination if you are into a relaxing beach vacation as the beach is private, only for hotel guests and they have only a few rooms available. In fact we were the only guests at that moment. Black island is only a very short distance away and can be easily visited on a morning trip. The food was plentiful and delicious. The free private transfer from the airport went very smoothly.

    Leaving

    We were a bit skeptical due to the few reviews, but it's just because it's fairly new and luckily we booked as our stay was absolutely incredible. The resort is on a long beautiful private beach facing Black Island and beautiful sunsets. Bungalows are new, fully equipped and super nice. Loved the outdoor shower. We had all our meals directly on the beach, the food was delicious and in a romantic setting. The staff was super sweet and helpful. We went with a kayak to snorkel on the coral reef just in front of the resort, even saw a turtle! Otherwise they can bring you by boat to Black Island - which is also beautiful. All transfers were perfectly planned.. What more! Highly recommended!

    This hotel is exceptional: the site is unique, facing the sunset, and the beach is magnificent and truly private. There is a large, very well-kept garden, the accommodations are perfect and very well decorated. And the food served buffet style is excellent. A place that gives an idea of ​​paradise. We were very well received by Javier, the owner of the place. It is magic and upper class !!!
