Smoking-friendly holiday rentals in Caalan Beach

A awesome place guys!! The place is such amazing. The peace far from city and regular life. Kinda far from el nido. But if you want to stay far from chaos and crowd..go for it. Naspan beach, mad monkey bar all near. Go for it!! Amazing place, good food cheaper than other restaurants. Van, tours, motors can be booked from there.

We enjoyed our stay at Manfred and Roseannas place. It is away from the town in a residential area, which made us feel at home. If you don’t ride a moped you may end up spending a fair amount on tuktuks but this is noted in the description. The room was clean and comfortable, we even got given a beer on arrival! The only thing to note is no air con and if there is a power cut it can get pretty hot! There’s no outdoor kitchen anymore but loads of local spots to eat. Just make sure you communicate regarding check in as you might not have signal once you arrive. Overall a great stay, thank you!

Nice place, nice people around!

My family of seven stayed at Sheila's place for four days. We had a great fun time at her house, it was as was described and pictured on the website. She accommodated our late check-out too, which was great, as we had a chance to maximize our vacation at El Nido. There was a power outage when we were there, and this was expected, but good thing the power came back before nighttime. The faucet water was a little low, so expect to use the bucket for showering. As we are Filipinos ourselves, we loved the interaction we had with the neighbors, as the place is situated on an inner alley. The first time we arrived, we had a difficult time to find it. However, we loved that the place is walking distance from the city center. The nearby small stores (downstairs and on the way) was convenient for us to get our supplies of instant coffee, pandesal, and snacks. The local assistant, Joan, was helpful to get us fresh fish from local fisherfolk, and in cleaning our garbage every two days. All in all, we had a terrific time in Sheila's place. I would love to come back to her place if we plan another El Nido vacation. So thank you Sheila! =)

location and staff were incredible, definitely looking forward to returning someday

Very cool location and practical accomodation ! We couldn't lock the door but it wasn't a problem because it is very very safe. Wifi was working very well ! Would recommend

Amazing villa and great service from Mac. The villa is a bit remote, but with a scooter it’s easy to reach.

Our stay at Recuerdo Transient House in El Nido was fantastic and suited our family’s needs perfectly. The house has a warm, homely feel and is conveniently located in the town proper, just a short walk away from all the bars, restaurants, and local attractions. Ms. Juliet, our host, was wonderful—very responsive and accommodating. She also runs a tour agency, which made our trip entirely stress-free. The package we booked through her included everything we needed, from exciting island tours to convenient van transfers from the airport to the accommodation and back. She even organized a memorable side trip to Puerto Princesa for the Underground River tour, which was a great addition to our itinerary. Overall, our 4-day Palawan adventure was a truly special experience, made even better by Ms. Juliet’s thoughtful arrangements. We’re grateful for her hospitality and would highly recommend Recuerdo Transient House to anyone visiting El Nido.

This stay was perfect! As soon as we walked in my family was practically cheering! Lina was a lovely host and came to introduce herself and we spoke for a really long time. She gave plenty advice about the area and also just general questions I had about the Philippines! The rooms were great and had aircon and fans. Also a good amount of charging points. The lounge room was the hit for us. Every night and day we would play card games and it allowed us to have a nice space to hang out and eat. The water container was lovely to have as well and temperature feature in the showers. The front table area was lovely to sit at and read with the view of the mountains (it also provided a space to dry our towels and swimwear). Thanks Lina!

Overall the place was as described. The main issue was finding where it was at the beginning. The address and map location is inaccurate and very confusing, especially for someone who is visiting the country. The apartment is located in a weird area where there is a lot of dirt and farms. Despite those small issues, the home giver took care of us and was always there if we needed something.

Wow, wow, wow! This place is just gorgeous, we couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. The villa was stunning with everything you could need. I have to say how amazing Mac was, so responsive and helpful he catered to all our needs. He checked in with us every day to check we had everything needed. He sorted out Tuc Tucs and taxis for us when we needed them. Although the location overall was great the final 5 minutes to the villa were along a very bumpy road, the Tuc Tuc drivers were very skilled at navigating the Tuc Tuc to minimalism the rough ride. Ideal to get to the airport and Lio beach which is a gorgeous area. Would definitely recommend and if we come back will stay here again.

Amazing, cute, little hostel which is perfectly located when one wants to visit el Nido. The host is really friendly and she helps one with everything :)

Place is near public market, terminal and sari-sari stores. Host was responsive and gave clear directions on how to get to the place. I also made a cute little friend there that I don’t know the name of — I miss that doggie, such a sweetie! 🐶 Highly recommended! 🌟

This was one of our absolute highlights of our Philippines trip. Arvin and Kenneth provided an excellent service. The contact with Alfred was very helpful and friendly. If you like privacy and a beautiful small island this is a MUST. Thank you so much for this amazing experience. We enjoyed every second being on this wonderful island!
