You get your money's worth with the comfort of your second home.

Keep up the good work!

An absolute hidden treasure, close to Puerto Galera. I almost wanted to give it a bad review, simply because I don't want to share it with anyone else! Michel and Erik have been putting this place together over decades, and their taste and travels are indelibly stamped all over this quirky, and stunningly beautiful resort. A unique oasis! 11/10!

I don't even know where to start and this is going to be a long review, here goes. This Bed and Breakfast in an assault on the visual senses in the best of ways!! Every square inch of this place is decorated. I'm not kidding every square inch. From the rooms (we stayed in two different rooms just to experience them), to the pool area, the common areas, even the bar/pool table area are a site to see. But beware, there are a ton of steps up and down and this BnB is located up a very steep road and it's near the top, but the views are incredible. Let me tell you about our week here (Sunday 4/14/19 thru Sunday 4/21/19). The first 5 days my girlfriend and I stayed, we were the only guests and had this magical place to ourselves, and the new company on Easter weekend was awesome as well. We made new friends from the UK and Germany. Michel (pronounced Michelle) and Riza (pronounced Reeza) were the perfect hosts, along with Rexon (the caretaker) and his son Vincent, who were like our own personal trike service to and from where ever we needed to go including beer runs. Time slows down in this place, a week seemed like two . Each morning we would get up, make breakfast and enjoy a morning swim. Overnight, God sprinkles the grounds and pool with a fresh set of flower petals making it even more magical. and the view overlooking the bay is incredible!! The First day Vincent took us to the Market to buy our food and beverage supplies. Food is beyond super cheap (by American Standards) You can cook for yourself, or the hosts will cook for you, your choice. We ate at least 1 or 2 meals here everyday. On the 2nd day, Michel drove me to the Motorcycle rental place (it's really a scooter), and for 8 bucks (400 pesos) per day or 60 bucks for the week, we had freedom to explore the entire Island and we did!! White Beach, Tamara Falls, Bayanan Beach and on and on! Downtown Puerto Gallera (and Muelle Port) is 5 minutes away, and everything we explored was less than a beautiful 20 minute scooter ride. Being an American, I was worried about stories of corrupt cops, fake tickets, and having to bribe you way out. None of that is true, only courteous decent people who are genuinely glad your there. This is getting too long, so I'll wrap it up. Erlyn and I will return, maybe for our Honeymoon (God willing) for sure. If you want to be blown away and stay in an 8 bedroom, 14 bathroom, 15,000 square foot mansion that would be worth 20 million dollars in let's say Miami, for less than 50 bucks per person, per day, I promise, you'll be blown away as well!! In closing, a Great big thank you to Michel, Riza, Rexon and Vincent for a wonderful week!!

Truly unique! This place, I mean this place is truly something you have never seen. If you went to Barcelona and enjoyed gaudi and the sagrada familia cathédrale then you will be overjoyed : this is the next level up. Access is easy from Muelle port, the staff really lovely and you can organize yourself chill outings if you feel like leaving... But if you are serious about seeing it all, then you will explore for many days!

Lovely place. My family and I had the best time. Great host, delicious food and great service!

The owner is really thoughtful and makes sure that the guests are welcome and comfortable. The staff are also really sweet and accommodating. The place is gorgeous with a 40-year history. The attention to detail is amazing.

Incredible place: so much attention to detail, so many different features. A great place to stay a few nights.

I will give this place a 11/10 if I could Erick is an amazing guy with some really great stories of travels. I would get to know him and hear those stories

Yeah

Superbe endroit, a ne pas prendre que pour un hotel. Les maîtres des lieux sont eux-mêmes des personnages tellement vrai et haut en couleurs. Si vous restez un peu de temps, des innombrables anecdotes sur la décoration et les multiples souvenirs qu'ils ont ramené de leur multiples vies. Un lieu construit en 35 ans et ça se sent, pas de faux semblant ici, que des souvenirs, des rêves et du vécu. A voir absolument.

Un lieu extraordinaire a ne pas louper si vous êtes dans le secteur. Vous serez accueillis à bras ouverts par Michel et Eric qui ont construit ce lieux magique de toute pièce. Vous serez interpellés par les centaines de souvenirs du monde entier ramenés par ces deux comperes et qui en font un palais des milles et une nuit. Vous ne pourrez pas rester insensibles au charme magique de et endroit... Ét au moins vous endormirez dans de très jolies chambres, au calme bercés par le son des carillons installés dans le jardin. Régalez vous avec la cuisine d'Eric qui est un chef étoilé...
