Smoking-friendly vacation rentals in Abra de Ilog

Staying at Marty & Gerlyn’s has been absolutely fantastic. They are so attentive and give you all the help and tips you need. Gerlyn is a top talented cook that can cook you both lunch and dinner. It was so tasteful every time and had a good variety. Additionally, Marty is always very considerate about everything to make your stay the best for you, so your needs are met whoever you are. We enjoyed plenty beers in the famous Monkey Bar, Marty’s diy bar, while having great conversations, watching Australian football or having a tasteful barbecue. It’s a short walk to the beach for great snorkelling and we went on a couple of hikes with one of his local workers to some breathtaking places that you just don’t get anywhere else. We would definitely recommend staying there. We left with new friendships and only good vibes. So find your inner adventurer and go to Udalo to Marty and Gerlyn.

We had an amazing week at Aidan’s place as a family of 11. Aidan helped us to arrange transportation to/from Manila with private pick up and speed boat. It takes almost 10 minutes to house from the dock but John John, the staff responsible for shopping and the boat helped our youngs and elderns to reach the house everytime we wanted to go to the dock with his ATW. There are 5 friendly on site staff at the house. Ate Jane is the manager of the staff and the chief of the kitchen. She prepared womderful food for us. We had full American breakfast, lunch and diner at the house and everyting was spectacular. We had bbq and fresh catches from the local sea. Marilou helped us for the service and she was super fast and kind. Crew never made we feel like we need privacy. Everytime we needed them they were ready to help and everytime we need time for ourself they were standing by at their own place. Nori&Fred kept the pool and garden always clean. Highly recommended and special thanks to Jane.

This is an architectural fantasy come to life with artefacts and knickknacks from all over the world. Be prepared for the unconventional & to climb a few steps exploring the spaces. It’s a good location if you have a vehicle. It’s a quiet area with a great ocean view up a steep hill yet close to a beach. Michel met me at the ferry dock and assisted me with motorbike rental and return transport which was very helpful. If you opt for meals, they are amazing, ample & affordable. They also provide drinking water. It’s as private as you want or join convos in common areas and kitchen. I appreciated the suggestions and anecdotes! All the rooms are unique & have their own perks & quirks. Some with A/C, some with wifi, and each has unique furnishings with comfy beds. It’s a place to relax and recharge more than a place to do desk work. A/C is good apart from a power brownout when the generator stopped at night. Pick a room with good airflow as synthetic sheets add to the heat without fans.

We really liked the place (stayed for 5 days). Its an adventure getting there, but all worth it at the end! A little cocoon of hapiness. Stuck in the ricefields between the ocean and the mountains, this little piece of architectural beauty is yet to be discovered. Mac (the caretaker) was great, helping for groceries ans organising activities (fishing, rivertrek). Simple, well taking care off and friendly people what do you want more?

Our stay at the Hilltop Guest House was absolutely fantastic! Jasmin had organised a ride from the port with a personal sign and from the moment we arrived, Jasmin and Randy made us feel incredibly welcome and right at home. It's amazing to think that Randy built the entire place himself over three years, including all the furniture! This place is huge! Lots of space and three very big rooms all with ac accommodated five of us very comfortably, and it was great to know they have spare beds available if needed. I especially loved waking up to the surroundings and seeing monkeys on the veranda in the morning eating the fruit I had left out the night before, such a unique experience! The location is perfect! A little bit away from the hustle, offering peace and quiet, yet close enough to easily access the beaches/town. Jasmin also organized fantastic activities for us, like island hopping, which made our stay even more memorable. I can't recommend this place enough for anyone! Salamat!!

The place is great. My colleague’s like it. However it’s far from the white beach, 30 mins away from there.

We had a great stay, which we extended twice and were very sad to leave. The place and surrounding nature are very peaceful and inspiring, and the family was a great help throughout our entire stay. Big hug and thank you to Claudette and Kuya Abel! We loved waking up to all the different birdsongs, and learning about the mangroves along the river. The property had some creative quirks to it, we enjoyed admiring the design, natural materials, and the wonderful artwork created by the host. We wouldn't have changed a thing, and hope to return one day. PS we miss the cats and dogs! 🐕

If you are looking for a quiet place to stay, with tremendous value for your money, look no further. Carls place is perfect, the rooms are clean, comfortable and very spacious. The view from the living room is just perfect, and the big terrace is great for having some drinks with friends. There are basic cooking utensils available and there is a big fridge. The bedroom is spacious and the bed is comfortable. The aircon in the bedroom will keep you cool at night and can even keep the whole apartment at a comfortable temperature. There is also a fan available and towels are provided. If you stay at Carls place I would recommend getting either a scooter or motorbike, they are a must for the serious climb up the mountain and give lots of freedom to explore the island for yourself. The roads are well maintained and paved. Long story short, great location, great host, great room and the best value by far!

Highly recommend Richelle’s holiday house very specious fantastic location middle of white beach and sabang , very clean fantastic view will definitely book again next holiday
