Holiday rentals with beach access in Calamian Islands

A awesome place guys!! The place is such amazing. The peace far from city and regular life. Kinda far from el nido. But if you want to stay far from chaos and crowd..go for it. Naspan beach, mad monkey bar all near. Go for it!! Amazing place, good food cheaper than other restaurants. Van, tours, motors can be booked from there.

Excellent place and easy to find, close to the beach, very peaceful, the hosts were super kind and speak perfect English. The room was clean, there’s hot water for showers and you can recharge your water bottle there for a small charge. Wifi works perfectly.

Large and comfy room. Great location, right in the center.

The location is amazing, all of the staff are very friendly and helpful. I’m very thankful to one of the receptionist Giselle, who was extremely helpful and fixed all the issues at a moment. Definitely recommending, the place is located right on the beach facing sunset side next to huge and beautiful nacpan beach. El nido is 30 mins drive.

location and staff were incredible, definitely looking forward to returning someday

Nice and clean place, close to beautiful beaches and amazing restaurants! The owner was kind, accommodating, helpful to advise on anything! The only thing that bothered us was the smell of trash in the room

The place was very relaxing and the host was very welcoming, highly recommend for a budget stay if you plan on going to Nacpan beach since it’s only a 5 minute walk away.

Very cool location and practical accomodation ! We couldn't lock the door but it wasn't a problem because it is very very safe. Wifi was working very well ! Would recommend

I would like to thank Jen and Jomar for hosting us above and beyond. Jen has done impossible to possible . My younger sister unexpectedly needed a wheelchair during our stay with them and Jen made an incredible act to figure out to find one for my her. Thank you so much Jen and Jomar. I’ll highly recommend NVH . thank you

A little slice of home tucked away in the tropics. Bernadette's house is very cozy, offering many amenities not found in similar rentals, especially this far away from Manilla. The house itself is impeccably furnished, with a kitchen offering modern appliances and small pantry items. The staff can facilitate cars, scooters, etc for transportation for grocery's/supplies. Starlink Internet was awesome, I do home renovations and she did a great job with the TVs and Eeros, it's truly a marvel how she's managed to put such a well built home out here. Hot water showers, high end AC units, even the nicer resort hotels around this area don't have some of these things. Expect typical Pinoy toilets though, no paper allowed in the plumbing naturally. If you've never been to the Philippines, read about it. Also given the location you may have some insect visitors is you leave a door / window open long enough, but nothing major. Was a fantastic stay for my family, would happily recommend.

A very pleasant and caring guard. A warm welcome with fruits and drinks. Secluded location. Nice private beach. Clean linen and dishes. A friendly family. Nuances: 1. Getting here is a bit difficult. But the guard can meet you at the airport. And his family will offer a menu, cook the selected dishes and feed them very tasty. Breakfast is included in the room rate. Lunches and dinners are delicious and inexpensive. 2. There is no air conditioner, only fans. 3. Sometimes the electricity (and fans) goes out at night because the house is powered by a generator. 4. Wi-Fi is only available in the backyard. But if you come to rest, it's even a plus) If it's okay for you, then you will have a very good rest away from a lot of people, with a caring guard)

I was happy at Mileys, she did everything she could for us. The staff are wonderful, making them a great team. Unfortunately, I had an accident but this gave an insight to what a relaxed vibe, this beautiful place was. Being laid up in paradise wasn’t so bad after all, we loved the fresh mango iced smoothies, scrummy breakfasts and pots special Miley brewed tea. I had a walking stick whittled by Randy and arrangements were made easily to help us navigate what could’ve been a very stressful time. Miley has a unique healing nature, making me feel naturally relaxed. The evening before my accident Miley had told us her vision into making the retreat, which organically formed into a chunk of paradise at the top of the island. This took place when all the local villagers were in Covid lockdown and many had lost their jobs, the whole community were helping each other with building this project together, really is inspiring to hear. For the real travellers, not for touristy tourist! Protect it

This was one of our absolute highlights of our Philippines trip. Arvin and Kenneth provided an excellent service. The contact with Alfred was very helpful and friendly. If you like privacy and a beautiful small island this is a MUST. Thank you so much for this amazing experience. We enjoyed every second being on this wonderful island!

I would highly recommend Nature’s Retreat! The name is quite accurate, and if you are looking to really immerse yourself in a beautiful nature setting away from it all, this is the place. Our crew was nine friends from around the world who gathered here over New Year’s, and to give a sense of the experience, on NYE, we all waded out into the warm shallow bay surrounded by the tropical jungle and mountains, had the hosts turn off the electricity to the Retreat and welcomed in 2020 with the only lights being the stars and bright Milky Way above. Stunning. As were the bonfire the hosts built, the trips they took us on around the islands with the property’s catamaran, the massages they organized (so cheap and very very good) and the other tours they helped us arrange. In terms of the hosts, we cannot say enough good things about Sam, his family and his crew. They are incredibly kind and affable human beings, completely professional and on top of all of the logistics and always available for any assistance or advice. And a real bonus is that Sam and his wife are incredible cooks - we learned they own a restaurant in PP, and it showed in all the meals which were very well done. There is no question the place is rustic, and it is secluded (no neighbors). And that is its amazing charm. But don’t expect to be able to just pop in and out of town in 5-10 minutes on a whim. Our only caution is, before booking, check Air Swift for available flights in and out of El Nido Lio airport. Otherwise you have to fly in to Puerto Princesa and it’s about a 5-6 hour drive to the Retreat from there, depending on traffic. Shouldn’t be a problem if you look well enough in advance (which we failed to do) – so just a lesson learned. All in all, this was a really special trip for our group, and we would really recommend you consider it for yourself.
