Private Beachfront El Nido - Sa Dulo Villa Diapila Bay

The accommodation is beautiful and well-maintained, exactly as shown in the pictures. The beds were comfortable, the interior spaces were huge, and the house was well equipped. However, there is no air conditioning in the house, only fans, which were quite noisy and far less effective than proper AC. The host was extremely kind and helpful throughout our stay. The meals we ordered from the local menu were also very delicious.

That said, despite all the positive aspects, I think it’s important to mention a few things that make this place less appealing and that future guests should know before booking. The property is located in the northernmost — and probably least developed — part of El Nido. Reaching it from El Nido town takes nearly one and a half hours by scooter. What makes the trip especially difficult is the final stretch of the journey: more than 35 minutes on a very rough dirt road. I would not recommend doing this part by scooter or motorbike. The road conditions are extremely poor, and by the time you arrive, both your clothes and body will be completely covered in dust. In addition, the accommodation itself is in a very remote and sparsely populated area. There are no restaurants, shops, or basically any facilities nearby — even within what would be a 30-minute scooter ride.

Le lieu

Les petits déjeuners

A true little paradise, far away from civilisation. Next to the spot is a small village where you can buy small items. Very quiet, only the sound of the sea can be heard. Locals are rarely seen. Very beautiful, clean beach and clear water. There is a small menu with very tasty dishes for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Drinks and fruit can also be ordered. Excellent service, clean and comfortable. Information: Pick-up from El Nido is possible. Please note: the last 15 km are extremely off-road, approx. 45 minutes. Final rating: a little spot of paradise for dreaming, relaxing, swimming and spending wonderful days with family or friends. The view is amazing.

The journey there requires utmost concentration, but it is worth it.

Kaina yra per didelė kai tu negali gauti nei kokteilio nei vietoje nei aplinkui ir nėra nei vieno restorano nei kažkokios veiklos nebent nueiti į miestelį nusipirkti alkoholio o iki normalaus miestelio 1 valanda kelio ir 50 eurų į vieną pusę!!!

The villa is located on very remote and private Palawan island beach. It wasn't easy to get there, but it was absolutely worth it. Not suitable for those who is looking for fancy restaurants or busy street hustles. But for those who need downtime and some piece should absolutely go there. We were given a free breakfast and had the opportunity to order lunches and dinner. Staff was very attentive and looked after us very well.

Property had no hot water, no shops or restaurants around. So if there is no transport, absolutely nothing to do if weather is bad.

We wanted a beach just for ourselves and a quiet villa to chill out for a few days and it was exactly what we had, the place was stunning , amazing local breakfast and super friendly staff!

The peaceful, beautiful setting. The remote location, far from touristy El Nido, the beautiful beach. The warm and welcoming staff. The house is well built and has two good sized rooms and bathrooms, and a very nice living room / kitchen area.

The light housekeeping. No restaurants nearby, just one shop in town. beware, the place is accessible by driving on an unpaved road for about 45 minutes. We recommend to get there during day light.
