Palawan: soggiorni in alloggi sull'acqua

Rachelle's place was amazing!! We were upgraded to the guest house so this review is for the guesthouse, right on the water. The cabana was fabulous and there are free kayaks to use. It is 2 bedroom, 1 bath, very spacious and fully equipped kitchen to cook meals. The island is small, only had three restaurants, 2 closed around 7, one opened at 4 closing late night. Edlyn met us at the pier, took us to the Culion Museum (must go), and to the steps for Aguila Viewpoint. She helped us buy fruit and told us were the local market was for fresh veggies. She checked on us every morning to see if we needed anything! We scheduled an island hopping tour with Pastor Hermie and the day before he took us on a walking tour and told us the history of the island incredible! (Please note that the ferry did not run on Sunday (we left Tuesday and Coron posters say it runs everyday) and there is no ATM on the island for international bank cards so bring enough cash with you.)

We stayed at this place with family and had a wonderful time. Especially Julius and Jinkie made our time really special with there hospitality, they always helped us cooking, prepared coconuts and fruits for us and also could help us with all other things. Thank you both so much! The private beach was cleaned every day and is really nice. The pool was clean and has also a jacuzzi function. The kitchen had everything we needed. Doing a trip to the underground river and to some other stuff around was easy as it is not that far and there was a car for rent available. This place was exactly right for us since it is quite around and not at the main tourist spots. It allowed us to see the natural Palawan.

Wir waren für 6 Tage an diesem wundervollen Ort - es ist ein Paradies fernab von Massentourismus und kommerziellen Unterkünften. Den Strand hatten wir jederzeit für uns, nur an einem Tag konnten wir nicht ins Wasser aufgrund von Quallen. Miriam und Toto sind herzliche Menschen, durch sie haben wir uns wie Zuhause gefühlt. Bei Fragen war Miriam schnell erreichbar und Toto hat uns sogar Kokosnüsse von der Palme geholt. Über die beiden haben wir jeweils den Transport für die An- und Abreise gebucht, sowie einen Motoroller + Helme sowie eine Islandhopping Tour. In der Nähe befindet sich aktuell eine sehr große Baustelle die Abends und teilweise tagsüber zu hören ist - wer da empfindlich ist, dem empfehle ich Ohrenstöpsel ;) Ich hoffe dieser Ort bleibt noch lange so ein "Geheimtipp" und wird in Zukunft nicht durch Touristenburgen drumherum zugebaut. Wir empfehlen diese Unterkunft zu 100% weiter!

Lovely place. I felt right at home when I arrived. The host was super helpful and friendly. The place clean and well maintained. I wish i could have stayed longer. I would highly recommend it. Thanks for hosting me and until next time!

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

Pobyt na wyspie był najlepszym wydarzeniem całej wycieczki na Filipiny. Przepiękna wyspa, cudowne plaże, sam pokój z cudownym widokiem. Jedzenie najlepsze, jakie zjedlismy na Filipinach, w końcu była okazja, żeby spróbować filipińskich potraw tak, jak trzeba. Załoga była wspaniała, czuliśmy się zaopiekowani w każdym momencie pobytu. Dodatkowym plusem były oczywiście super pieski Charlie i Lilly z ich szczeniakami :) Jedyne o czym należy pamiętać rezerwując nocleg na Brother Island to to, żeby dobrze zaplanować wycieczkę. Dojazd nie jest najłatwiejszy, zawsze można zamówić dojazd, ale jeżeli nie jest zawarty w pakiecie, to koszt dojazdu samochodem w jedną stronę to 3500 php plus 1500 php za transfer łodzią na wyspę. Polecam każdemu, kto tylko może, pobyt na Brother Island :)
