Binucot Beach Resort

One of the best hotels on Tablas Island. With a nice snorkeling opportunity in front of the hotel. The underwater world is one of the best in the Philippines. Very tasty diner all the time. I really recommend it to everyone.

Nice setting right on the beach. Food was good and beer was cold. Owner was very helpful.

Rooms were very hot

Everything. Peter and his crew run a great show. Great food. Nice pool right at the beach. 10 out of 10 straight through.

To have snorkel equipment for rental would be good. I had to go to the lodge a few doors away to get some equipment. It worked out, but to have it right out the lodge would be good.

We didn’t actually make it to the property as our travel plans changed. However, I emailed the owner to inform him of this and he very kindly said that if he managed to re-let the room then he would reimburse, which I thought was very decent.

* beachfront bliss: wow. seriously, wow. binucot boasts one of the most stunning and empty beaches we've encountered in southeast asia. crystal-clear water and enough space to feel like you've landed on your own private island. pure bliss. * spacious digs: the rooms were surprisingly roomy, equipped with two air-conditioning units (a lifesaver in the tropics) and a big bathroom bathed in natural light. a welcome haven after sun-filled days. * time travel vibes: binucot's remoteness takes you back to a simpler southeast asia. no crowds, no honking horns, just the soothing rhythm of the waves and the feeling of time slowing down. perfect for digital detox and soul-searching. * tasty treats: the food was surprisingly good, especially considering the island's isolation. props to peter's homemade german bratwurst, a delicious taste of home in paradise.

* cultural clash: be prepared for a predominantly german crowd (the locals call it german village for a reason), specifically older gentlemen who embraced the "no shirt, no problem" philosophy a little too enthusiastically. and, to put it politely, their political discussions weren't always music to our ears. * thin walls, loud neighbors: the rooms lacked soundproofing, especially the first one, which everyone had to pass to get to their rooms. prepare for late-night chats and early-morning wake-up calls. * vanishing act: the online photos showcasing cozy hammocks and daybeds on the beach played a starring role in our booking decision. sadly, reality offered only bare sand. hammock-lovers, be warned! * orderly chaos: the service, while friendly, had a tendency to forget or mix up orders. patience and a sense of humor became our dining essentials. * trickle in the shower: let's just say the water pressure in the shower was more of a gentle suggestion than a forceful cascade. prepare for longer showers and strategic shampoo application. * motorbike misadventures: we were excited to explore the island by motorbike, but the only one available was on its last legs. not ideal when you're so far from everything else.

We found our hidden paradise beach at Binucot. Recommended to go here!

Many thanks to Peter and Geralidine for their warm welcome and perfect hosting to advices for visting the island. The beach is just 10m away and it is an excellent spot for snorkeling. Wifi was excellent (which is rare in the Philippines) and scooter available for renting directly at the facility.

Peter the owner is an honest , attentive , kind and very helpful
