A 2-minute walk from the guest house is the Sitio Tandul Basketball Court. It is a 10-minute walk to El Nido Port and a 15-minute walk to town centre. El Nido Airport is a 30-minute drive away. Towels and linens are provided. Private rooms each have a large, private, seaside deck, with views of El Nido Bay. All are equipped with aircon, overhead ceiling fans, and tile flooring. Fan-cooled dorm rooms are equipped with a mosquito net and wooden flooring. The property can help arrange island tour and transportation upon your arrival. Guests can explore the nearby beaches by kayak or stand-up paddle board and relax with a cold drink and snack on the deck after. Shared kitchen facilities and common lounge are available. Guests can also enjoy free coffee, tea, Milo and cookies. Art Café and many seaside restaurants and bars are some of the dining options located within a 15-minute walk of the guesthouse.
