Homestays in Mimaropa, Philippines

The room looks very old, the mattresses are foam, the plugs generate little confidence, the truth is that for the little you pay you could say that it is normal, don't expect much. The bathroom is another world, the toilet bowl does not have a base to sit on, so it is very unhygienic when using it, either that or urinate and do your business without touching the bowl. The shower does not have much pressure, so if you are going to take a shower it is better to use the faucet under the shower and fill a bucket and bathe with the bucket of water. The door to the women's bathroom is broken from below, so it can cause a bit of insecurity, although I honestly don't think people will care much.

The Casa's location is just up ahead from the Coron main road which you can take tricycle to go anywhere in the Coron Town Proper, it is also near the St. Agustin Church, and near to BPI, Andoks, Pacifico, Maria L's Cake House and Café. The Casa is basically and technically near to popular places, you only need to walk down to the Coron main road and grab a tricycle and jist tell the driver the place you want to go. The room I was in were good to sleep in, the aircondition works, I basically turned off the AC when the room cool enough then open the electric fan. You can use their kitchen which I discovered late but it's fine since I always out touring, I just wish that the care taker orient me ahead on what can I access or use. I spoke to the owner ober the phone, he is not here in the Casa but still helped me to be picked up from and to the airport and the Casa. There are no staff to fully accomodate you since this is not a hotel but more like a house where you rent room to stay in to sleep and bathe, but you can ask people who were staying here probably the care taker of the house to ask for assistance. The place were not yet known to all because during my stay here and I had a booked tour the van couldn't find the Casa, probably it has no visible sign that the driver or the guide could see. There's a sign outside the gate but it needed more visibility and a repaint so that everyone know what is this place and its location. The place cannot be seen in Google Maps since it was not yet updated to recent view so even if you virtually travel the streets, the area where this place is, is inaccessible on the map. So far a good place to stay in to relax after a long day of tour activities and probably one of the cheapest.

This place was absolute paradise. The beach is stunning with beautiful sunsets just around the corner. There are loads of beach bars and restaurants around and the beach is clean with clear waters. Many tourists travel here for the day and stay elsewhere so this place was perfect for those evenings in a bar or on the porch and looking at the sea. This place is right on the sea and listening to the waves while falling asleep was relaxing. The amenities were excellent and a lovely warm shower to wash away the sand. The only issue with this place was the service and lack of cleaning/ restocking. Sand is an inevitability and we lacked the necessary tools to clean the room so it got quite sandy after a couple of days and the cups from the welcome drinks were there for three days. We don’t require or expect daily cleaning but we stayed 5 nights and the room was made up once (not including bedding and towels). That being said, this place is amazing. There are few better locations and the calmness made for a perfect little break for us. Will definitely stay here again! Also a little bonus for dog lovers- there is a gorgeous little beach dog that chills on the porch and gets excited every time you come and go! He was super friendly, loving us and loved by all the guests!

This hotel is truly in the heart of El Nido. Whether you want to go to the beach or take boat tours, everything is conveniently within walking distance. Being able to shower immediately upon returning and not having long commutes is a huge plus! There are also small shops and restaurants nearby, which makes planning very easy. The room is modern and clean, and the bed is very comfortable. The only minor downside is some street noise in the morning due to its very central location. However, the service staff was always friendly and helpful. Overall, it was a good stay.

I really enjoyed staying at Coco Garden! But you must understand that these are bamboo houses, essentially huts, inside of which there is a bed under a mosquito net. The houses are basically in the jungle, so geckos, ants, etc. can run in. But behind the mosquito net you won’t be afraid of them! But unity with nature is 100%! The house has a shower and toilet. Fan. Every morning a simple and delicious breakfast. WiFi worked flawlessly. And the employee Lamy was so friendly that she smoothed out all the shortcomings! It is best to immediately rent a scooter, because the nearest beach and the town of El Nido are a bit far away on foot. The stay turned out to be very authentic! I'm happy!

Cost-effective, cheap during the May Day holiday. Internal hygiene is good, towels and other supplies are dehaired, toothpaste, toothbrush and shampoo are charged, it is best to bring your own. Very close to the beach, 3 minutes walk, there are many diving clubs next to it. Surrounding dining is also OK, Korean restaurants are not bad.

Кроме нас в отеле никого не было. Рецепшн был открыт, но никого не было, сами нашли комнату, сами заселились (было открыто), сами искали хозяйку во все номера заглядывая. Номера уставшие, но уютненько, одноэтажные домики, итальянский дворик, рядом улица с ресторанами и кафе. Был вай фай но пришлось искать хозяйку чтоб подключить, вода была холодная, не работал нагреватель. В раковине был засор, не уходила вода, розетки были вырваны, едва смогли зарядить телефон

We had a wonderful stay at this hostel. Everything was perfect. The hostel was very clean, comfortable, and in an excellent location, making it easy to explore the area. What really made our stay special was the kindness of the host. She was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and always willing to help us with anything we needed. Her recommendations and support made our trip much easier and more enjoyable. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area.

Absolutely amazing stay in El Nido! The hotel has a breathtaking location with incredible views of both the beach and the surrounding mountains. Waking up every morning to such beautiful scenery was definitely one of the highlights of the trip. The atmosphere was peaceful, relaxing, and perfect for enjoying the beauty of Palawan. The room was comfortable, clean, and well maintained, and the staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay. The breakfast was also perfect, with a great selection of fresh and tasty options to start the day. Everything felt well organised and welcoming. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone visiting El Nido, especially if you want beautiful views, a relaxing atmosphere, and excellent hospitality. One of the best stays of my trip!

Citadel (the name of one of the owners) is probably the ”best for the money” mini-resort in Puerto Princesa! My room had a king bed, was comfortable and included satellite TV, a fridge and sink area. The grounds a pool are clean, neat and look great. The pool is amazing for a property size. Even though the Citadel is located 1.5km away from one of the main roads and the Robinson's Mall there are small food stores nearby for basic needs. It's easy to get a tricycle from the road near the property to just about anywhere in the Puerto area. Do ask one of the locals what the fare should be to the placey you want to go. Francois and Citadel, the owners are very nice and helpful. You will enjoy your at the Citadel! BONUS TIP: Just up the road (north) to the left is a food store and cafe on the right side of the road. Inside is a dental office run by Dr Joy Zapanta. She offers a full range of dental services. I got my teeth cleaned for about US$20. I could see dental tourism as a future business for Dr Joy. Enjoy your stay at the Citaldel and get all your dental work done!
