Excellent”
Cool place and not touristic to rest in peaceful nature. Nice beach for snorkeling. Friendly and very helpful staffs. Homecooked foods. I stayed here 2 nights to enjoy the life. No fans in the tent so it could be hot at night. Power cut happens most of the time as well haha. Overall cool experiences

You get what you pay for. ”
You get what you pay for. That’s it. Very basic accommodation but in line what we paid. No complaints. On the other hand the food is not at par with the other two (more luxury) resorts in the island. We had only one lunch. Food ok but really overpriced. We had il all our lunch and dinners in the two neighbors resorts. Same price -or less but but much better quality! Staff unfriendly and not very helpful. All that said, if you are on a budget I have no problem recommending this place for sleeping, but get your food somewhere else…! The island is small but we had a wonderful experience. Unfortunately the sea was a bit rough and not much snorkeling to do.

The place is simply amazing! You could really feel like you are on a tropical island! I loved the experience of showering outside with only the stars and the palm trees swaying in the wind <3 The huts are well kept, they look even better than in the pictures. Make sure to schedule the boat trip to the island earlier - we didn't and we actually ended up paying for it once again... Still worth it though! The place serves big breakfast and you could also get some food and drinks there - all natural and really tasty :) The island itself is definitely worth visiting, I think I'll never forget the shades of blue I've seen there.

Fantastic island. Good and bad things”
Good - private beach - amazing sunset - clean facilities - kind host Bad - food bit expensive than hotel. Not many choice. if you order food early, but someone already order food immidatly. So maybe you can not get what you want. Also easy to sold out menu... - it's difficult directions who want cheep to go to this island. We want to know where is boat place. But host didn't tell us kind direction. We took a tuktuk 700php, also tuktuk driver asked when we almost arrive boat place. We don't know exactly direction. Tuktuk asked small town people, kind town someone guy he drive with us for direction. We stayed 2 nights, we budget traveler so we can not stay longer here. You can do snorkeling, swimming. Easy to find clown fish . but I'm not sure about the price.

Not worth the money”
Paid 50€ for a bungalow that was essentially the same as the bungalow we paid 6€ for in Sibultan. Photos make it look like all the bungalows have views, but they don't - we had a view of the back of the bungalow in front of us and couldn't see the sea at all. Food is expensive and disappointing. Showers are outside with a small strip of fabric attempting to cover you, but really not covering much. The showers are also right in front of where all the staff sit behind the restaurant area, it's a bit weird (I had a lot of eyes on me while showering). Expecting a lot more from 50€/night. Beach is beautiful, but you could go there for the day to explore the shipwreck and then stay somewhere else!

Awesome!!”
Pros: the beach is marvellous !! White sand, very clean, you can go snorkeling to see a ship wreck You are alone on this island most of the time (there are some boats coming with tourists for around 2 hours in the afternoon), it’s very nice to be away from the crowd for a few days !! Shared Toilets and outdoor showers are very clean (it’s tap water, not sea salt water) The menu has at least 3 dishes to choose from and changes at every meal ! (Meat, veggie and fish) Electricity available from sunset to 9-10pm for the fan in the hut and to recharge your battery They offer the boat transfer, and can also arrange a transport from el Nido for a fair price, staff was very reactive when I contacted them, it was very nice Room is clean and simple (a mattress on the floor with a good net) Cons : nothing really, except it was quite hot actually in the hut at night but that’s a detail compared to our amazing journey there !! Recommend 100%!!! We had an amazing time !

Thanks a lot Marion for this great review!
Gran ubicación, poco servicio.”
Probablemente la mejor playa que visite en Filipinas, la ubicación es ideal. Lamentablemente donde falla es en los servicios que presta. No hay lugares cómodos donde sentarse para disfrutar, las zonas comunes te invitan a irte de ahí. Ducha y baño muy bien.

Super Erfahrung”
Das Backpacker Island liegt sehr gut auf der westseite eine Insel mit mehreren Resorts, unter anderem ein Tao Expedition Camp direkt nebenan. Die Hütten sind im Prinzip nur Matratze und Mosquito Netz, dies reicht jedoch und fühlt sich and wie campen. Das Essen schmeckt hervorragend, Wird aber ohne Kühlschrank jeden Tag frisch geliefert, weswegen man bei Eiern aufpassen sollte. Alles in allem ein sehr gelungener Aufenthalt auf einer fast einsamen Insel

Prachtige locatie”
Het verblijf ligt op een van de mooiste plekken waar ik ben geweest aan een heerlijk strand. Het was fantastisch. Het eten was super en de hutjes zijn prima voor twee nachtjes. Een tip voor het verblijf is om te zorgen voor iets meer schaduw op het strand. Verder was alles goed

Drie nachten geslapen. Heel aardig personeel, lekker eten en perfecte ligging. Voor de hutjes ligt een wrak met mooie vissen, naar links is een heel groot rif met mooie vissen. Ga hier naartoe als je van mooie natuur houdt en niet veel waarde hecht aan comfort. Onze kinderen hebben genoten.

Ett måste att åka hit! ”
Alltså wow, du har din egna paradisö för dig själv i stort sett! En enkel bungalow på stranden med en simpel madrass men inget mer krävs. Maten som de gör på plats är så god! Var rädd för att det skulle vara mycket kryp och mygg men det var inte så illa som jag trodde. Om du bara vill slappa och njuta av enkelhet, god mat, underbar strand och trevlig personal åk hit! Bo inte på någon av de andra resorten på ön, backpackers har det bästa läget på ön och är billigast.
