This place has an amazing location and really easy to book.
Going to sleep to the sound of the sea and waking up to the feel of the sea breeze was incredible. I love getting up in the morning, ordering breakfest, climbing off the side of the deck for a quick swim and then coming to back to have it ready with a cup of coffee (nescafe sachet, horrible but did the trick)

This place is a beautiful back to nature resort and this is its main drawing card for me, basic, not flash and authentic.
One concern was I witnessed Alan throwing rubbish from his deck into the sea one night around midnight. This was concerning as I heard him say himself and his son lived at the resort so I couldn't understand why this would happen. It was a bit sad to watch really.

Alan was standing one metre away from me when I paid and we even discussed the exchange rate and I introduced myself to him, he was also standing one metre away when we checked out so could have said goodbye and double checked our payment there in then.
Aside from that his Filipino staff (netnet, marny and co) are great and made our stay enjoyable, excellent pancakes cooked and friendly/chatting people just like the whole of the Philippines.More
