  I haven't stayed in this place, so I could not really say if the staff are that accommodating, but on first impression, the guy manning the counter was antagonistic, although one lady was all smiles. I reckon these were the owners.

  In the center of the facility is the house of the owner, so I guess it would be easy for one to say that 24/7 you could call on them in case you need something.

  Me and BK Art on a very early swim with the fishers hauling their empty nets

  The area is basically a fishing village, so early in the morning or late in the afternoon one could catch fishermen hauling their catch. When we were there, they didn't have that much catch owing to the illegal poachers that's being tolerated by the local governments along the strait. Commercial fishing is not supposed to be allowed along the strait because it is too narrow, yet they can be seen in plain sight and government is not doing anything about it.

  

  The beach is exquisite with just the right depth.

  There are plenty of diving facilities in the area because there are great diving sites near the place.

  Nearer the highway is Sea Breeze (T: +63-32-485-8052), which is a rest house that can be rented for PhP3,000 per night with no maximum number of guests.

  Basically, you own the place.

  It has everything in it including cooking facilities (with gas and a working refrigerator), airconditioned rooms, and television. They even have utensils for you to use. 

  The place is great especially if you plan to spend the night as a group.
