Such an awesome place to totally unwind. The photos don’t the accommodation or the setting and views justice. Bonus great snorkelling off the reef in front which we had to ourselves.

All is good! The resort provides basic shampoo and bar soap. If you have preferred body wash, shampoo, and conditioner, bring them with you. In every beach resort, there will be nikniks and mozzies. Make sure to bring your preferred bug repellent. Resort provides mozzie lotion to save you.

Total of 4 nights stay at San Nicolas Private Beach, 2 way airport transfer is included which is good as the place is secluded. 20-minute boat ride with Abraham and his team. Abraham explains nearby islands like fishermans villages. Check-in and checkout were smooth, golfcart was driven by Javier (owner) to assist with our heavy luggage from the port to the lobby. Overall, the 4 nights experience was exceptional. It was a wonderful experience each day. ALL meals are included in buffet style (except the breakfast, order from menu each morning). Activities in the resort, they have the black island tour, which us half a day from 8am to 12nn. Bring your beach shoes as you will visit the nice caves (stones and sandy). They have the paddle boards and kayaks. Near the resort is awesome coral reefs! Rich reef! Since you might end up doing it for hours, make sure your skin is protected from scorching sun. Ask Javier and Abraham the best spots to snokel!. They have a massage, too! But make sure to book in advance (1 day) as the masseu can be busy off the island. Food wise, every lunch and dinner is top-notch! Abraham had good wines too, so go on and enjoy your holiday a bottle or 2. Staff wise, they are all nice and friendly. Don't hesitate to ask if you have an enquiry and they will find the answers in the best way possible. Resort' s manager Abraham is very knowledgeable of the island and tours we've been to! His not even local, but i tell you he knows better than locals. He shows dedication and expertise in his work. Resort's food and interior are well planned by the owner Sandra and her husband Javier. They have worked hard to bring the best out of the place to give the best for their guests. This resort was in years of work and kudos to the entire team. Continue your efforts and more happy and grateful customers will come.

- nothing -

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.

Nothing.

We loved everything about this property - the service, food, wine, beach, accomodation. It is one of the most beautiful islands to stay anywhere in the world.

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.

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!!

Everything exceeded our expectations. One recommendation though: the owner may consider turning this into Adults only or children over 12 resort, since this is not a place for toddlers :)

Amazing location, the beach is gorgeous (to shallow to swim though), the food is excellent and the service very personalized. The team did everything they could (and more) to make our stay memorable! If you can splurge and get the luxury rooms, they are worth the upgrade! A perfect place to relax.

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.

Absolutely nothing

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 !!!

Some highlights we loved: - Over 700 meters of private beach facing beautiful sunsets - Dining on the beach, fantastic food in a romantic setting - Hidden away location, with a feeling of exclusivity - super friendly staff Will stay again if we ever travel back to Busuanga.
