Femya Homestay

Helen, the owner, is simply amazing, helpful & super sweet. You feel like home. The sea is directly in front. Amazing breakfasts !

Lady manager is a very nice person, happy to help and organize things. She arranged me a tricycle from El Nido pier for an affordable price. Size of my bamboo room and its bed was satisfactory enough. Short walkable distance to the beach, maybe 30 meters.

Damp soil to the guests rooms. Some living creatures all around the tiny walls. But it can be met everywhere in the neighborhood I guess.

Perfect place for relax

Nothing

I loved staying here. The owner, Helen is an amazing woman who makes you feel right at home. It’s no wonder literally everyone who stays here extends, including myself! I didn’t want to leave. I consider myself lucky for having the experience of staying at Femya and am looking forward to hopefully coming back.

Everything was great

This is off the tourist track about 40 min of El Nido. It was a nice escape from the party tourist scene. Wake up, grab coffee and walk directly out to the beach in 20 steps. It’s rustic and simple and all you need if good with no frills. You can hear the ocean waves from your bed. 🌊 Helen is the host and she built this place! She runs the whole operation. From breakfast to dinner, she’s happy to help with questions. Super nice woman and very interesting to chat with. And yes, great cook! There are 3-4 other places to eat nearby, all on the beachfront. You can get snacks in town at store and street food bbq also. Arrival to the place is different: you take tricycle to the local bridge, grab your bags, trek up some stairs, walk across a big suspension bridge, back down the stairs, down a dirt road through a small village. About 10 min in total. Easy but be prepared to carry your bags—you don’t show up direct to the front door. Friendly locals are also around to help you carry bags - please tip them for their help. It’s a lovely quiet rustic spot with shared toilet and bathroom. You have all you need. Starlink was key in remote area as well. 👌🏽 A brown-out occurred one evening for couple hours but no big deal. It was beautiful to see the stars on the beach. Well worth the small effort to get here. Motorbikes for rent through Helen; some driving on pavement and also rocky dirt paths. Duli Beach is about 5 min away to north (go surfing or get a lesson) and Nacpan Beach is about 15 min south (more popular but bigger, have lunch and chill). Both have sand flies so bring some repellent. Both worth a visit.

You’re at the beach. Sand everywhere, all the time. Maybe a small broom for each room to sweep daily is good addition? If you’re a light sleeper, chickens and dogs may keep you up or if neighbors are loud, but that’s same in all of Philippines.

Ms. Helen was the BEST HOST ever! She cooked the most delicious chicken curry and a total companion for the Duli Beach challenge😘. Will definitely come back with the whole family. Thanks a million, Helen!🥰🥰🥰

Absolutely nothing!

Helen was a lovely host and her food was beautiful. The location on the beach was wonderful!

The owner, Helen was very helpful and accommodating. She is a good cook, too. She can arrange tours, bike, bus and special requests. Good strong Wi-fi connection.

None.

The room was directly at the beach and the owner was so sweet and friendly. She helped me book tours (for the original price), she cooked tasty things for me (even vegetarian) and it was all just a bliss. The room came with mosquito net and a fan. The location is 45 mins out of El Nido, so you're going to need a scooter. Duli beach is relatively close and an absolute beauty with not many people running around.
