Camp Talusi Hilltop Overlooking

The location was lovely amoungst the trees overlooking the sea.

If you have some physical disability affecting your ability to climb the steep approximate 136 stairs, then this location may not be for you. For me it was great, as I need the exercise.

The views were breathtaking. We spent 2 nights in a traditional dwelling on top of the hill overlooking the bay / port. The hut only had a fan, but it’s super powerful. Also, the steps are NO JOKE. Proceed if you physically can :) especially, when it’s near 90 degree outside. Nevertheless, it’s a very authentic island experience. Sir Armstrong was. Very accommodating and took great care of us! He is full of knowledge about the area. The local neighbors are super warm and welcoming. There is a small confinice store at the bottom of the hill for water and snacks .

The bright white light beaming in through the window. So we had to keep the drapes closed at night, which prevented full airflow.

Hospitality and price compared to how comfortable place is. Hot water! Armstrong you're the best!

The location is very good, close to the beach and the centre, but the stairs to get up to the house are really something. It's not easy to find the way, so we really recomment to get in touch with Armstrong, who takes care of the place and also manages reservations. He is extraordinarly helpful and kind. Our flight was delayed, the bus to El Nido got flat tyre on the way and we reached up the place around 1am. If he wasn't there outside waiting for us we would never find the way! He also kindly agreed to prepare breakfast earlier than normally to allow us to start the island hopping tour the next morning. When we get pretty bad sunburn he gifted us aloe vera leaves to soothe the pain like the locals do. That aloe was so big we carried it over to New Zealand with us 🙂 We are still very grateful and cannot express our gratitude. Armstrong - you are the best! The house itself was clean and had a very nice patio/weranda to have breakfest on. There was warm water in the shower and a mosquitere around the bed. Not many place to unpack you things, but it wasn't a problem. We visited during a wet season so the vent on the ceiling was a blessing. We strongly recommend this place if you want to meet the greatest host in the Philipines, live next to the main beach and have a jungle-like experience 🙂

By far the best travel experience ever. The place itself is a 10 out of 10 with the best view in town and a cottage just for yourself with everything you need but the host is what this trip to camp talusi hills really made it so special. Armstrong is so helpful and kindhearted. He truly is a legend. Hopefully we will have the chance to come back one day.

Couldn’t stay longer :(

Solitary location with only two bungalows. The feeling of achievement when you get up there in the difficult location with your backpack, walking all those stairs for the first time. Breakfast provided. The multi-talented host Mr. Armstrong has a very big heart.

It was a bit hard to find the place at first and t's very demanding to climb up there. Not for someone not in good shape. The view to sea and town was mostly blocked by dense canopies.

Incredible location in the forest with fantastic views , Comfortable bed Amazing host

Nothing

I really liked the terrace and the view from it. I also appreciate the great host who was always there for us and very willingly helped us with everything (100% for him).

I missed the air conditioning and better signposting of the access to the accommodation. Due to the high humidity of the air, it was very difficult to dry anything.

Great value for money. The accommodation is right above El Nido beach. The room was clean and our host Armstrong took great care of us and was very helpful. We also had our own private bamboo terrace.

Amstrong is very kind person.. he did everything he could for us. He helped with all needs.Place it nice, in the forest. Nice place in the forest, birds, squirrels ... very tasteful breakfast from Amstrong.

Shower and sink need restoration. Weak water power in shower. Lack of space (no space) for luggage, shirts, pants, your private things etc..
