Carles is disappointing, specifically the Bancal/Wharf surrounding areas. The place is dirty, no place to eat if you are staying overnight and the heavy trucks traffic due to wharf construction is terrible. I can perfectly understand why visitors to Isla de Gigantes arrive there early in the morning, do the island hoping tours and get out of there as soon as they can at the end of the day.
On the positive side, the Tourism information and ticket facilities and wharf are decent. The island are beautiful and worth putting up with everything else to see them.

Carles is a beautiful location in the Philippines.
Carles is a beautiful location in the Philippines. I've stayed at multiple locations; Salina, Beach Head, Chateau De Aow which all meet or exceeded expectations. I would recommend all three of these properties based on my personal experience and the information provided on Booking.com.

Carles is a small provincial town, this establishment is probably one
of the biggest employers,, compared with the poor general environment
of the area the establishment sticks out as a luxury point known to
everybvody in town. Smoking is tolerated on the balconies and one
feels well in the place. One disadvantage: is that you cannot take your
car to the bungalows to park it there,, but you have to park it at a central park place near the entry to the resort and this resort is big! However, there are plenty of service vehicles moving around before one of them
will pick you up to take you where you want to goin the resort. Visiting
the shops in Carles is no problem if you have a car, but there is plenty
of trikes and taxis everywhere!

The tranquility of the eco-friendly trees, plants and beach.
The tranquility of the eco-friendly trees, plants and beach. The place was quit. I loved the benefit of several seafood restaurants nearby within walking distance. The local town & fish port just a tricycle ride away. At night the resort is lit up with Christmas decorations which present a wonderful holiday ambiance. The staff was welcoming and pleasant always greeting you in passing.
