The cabins and all facets of the resort have many wonderful personal touches of the owner, she has taken great care in all details. Service is excellent. My personal tastes in food prefer a simpler fare but the kitchen turns out excellent meals curries, rice, potatoes, soups, etc. are all very creative and tasty. The island is the most bug free tropical place we have ever visited, and we have been all over. No sand fleas, few mosquitoes.
Malaria seems to exist in the area but is a rare occurrence.
I see no problem in telling people that they need not take malarial prophylactics so long as they use the netting conscientiously and apply western bug juice in the evenings. Lots of good exploring near-by, island hopping, diving etc. No problem to entertain yourself there for a week or longer. Its very quiet, not for those who like a bar scene. After surveying the area and the alternatives, I would have to say that I think it is THE place to stay in El Nido unless your customers have wads of money burning a hole in their pocket to spend at Miniloc.
