Pet-friendly vacation rentals in Caalan Beach

A bit more tricky to find uphill but a very good place to stay. Very spacious and clean. Walkable distance to restaurants and stores. Thank you for hosting!

A wonderful stay in the jungle!

This was probably the best accommodation we’ve ever stayed in! It was super clean, peaceful, and well-located. The host was very responsive, arranged scooters for us to rent, and gave us some useful tips. We had the best time having BBQs in the garden and just hanging out! We would be happy to come back one day. Highly recommended!

We enjoyed our stay very much. It’s a little off the beaten path and because we were travelling around by car it fit our needs exactly. Catherine and family were very helpful to assist even when we didn’t ask for help. Hopefully we will get an opportunity to stay again.

We loved our stay. Beautiful view and sunsets. Near everything. Lovely place.

I would highly recommend Nature’s Retreat! The name is quite accurate, and if you are looking to really immerse yourself in a beautiful nature setting away from it all, this is the place. Our crew was nine friends from around the world who gathered here over New Year’s, and to give a sense of the experience, on NYE, we all waded out into the warm shallow bay surrounded by the tropical jungle and mountains, had the hosts turn off the electricity to the Retreat and welcomed in 2020 with the only lights being the stars and bright Milky Way above. Stunning. As were the bonfire the hosts built, the trips they took us on around the islands with the property’s catamaran, the massages they organized (so cheap and very very good) and the other tours they helped us arrange. In terms of the hosts, we cannot say enough good things about Sam, his family and his crew. They are incredibly kind and affable human beings, completely professional and on top of all of the logistics and always available for any assistance or advice. And a real bonus is that Sam and his wife are incredible cooks - we learned they own a restaurant in PP, and it showed in all the meals which were very well done. There is no question the place is rustic, and it is secluded (no neighbors). And that is its amazing charm. But don’t expect to be able to just pop in and out of town in 5-10 minutes on a whim. Our only caution is, before booking, check Air Swift for available flights in and out of El Nido Lio airport. Otherwise you have to fly in to Puerto Princesa and it’s about a 5-6 hour drive to the Retreat from there, depending on traffic. Shouldn’t be a problem if you look well enough in advance (which we failed to do) – so just a lesson learned. All in all, this was a really special trip for our group, and we would really recommend you consider it for yourself.

The photos dont do it justice - an absolutely world class view. A comfortable and spacious place to stay and great to be able to use the facilities. Only downside were a few cockroaches on the first night - but this is to be expected with the Airbnb being literally in the forest. Would definitely stay again and was a wonderful, relaxing end to our Philippines adventure.

Great new place in a quiet neighborhood! Pool was super warm and the staff was friendly and attentive to any issues or concerns. I would recommend this place to all my friends.

My girlfriend and I had a lovely time at this Airbnb. Very friendly and welcoming family, provided us with good recommendations, transport and a complimentary beer on arrival. The place is cute and in an interesting area. Would recommend highly :)

Manfred and his wife Rosana are great hosts. Very welcoming and attentive to their guests. The accommodation was impeccable and very quiet, there is a barbecue available and possibility to rent a scooter, they even organized our departure, I would come back without hesitation if I had the possibility. I recommend it, you can book without a second thought.

This airbnb is in a very beautiful peaceful location in the middle of nature which we enjoyed very much. The hosts were friendly and helpful in getting us transportation to and from the town. Would highly recommend if you enjoy a quieter location but still close to El Nido!

We stayed at Denis's accommodation for 5 days and had an excellent experience! I really appreciated the "apartel" concept, which blends the services of a hotel—such as daily room cleaning and breakfast delivered directly to your room—with the flexibility and conveniences of an apartment. Denis was incredibly responsive and friendly, as were all the staff we interacted with during our stay. Having a scooter included was a fantastic bonus for this location.

We came here for our honeymoon and some tranquility after the wedding craze and many hours of travel from London. The place was paradise with beautiful white sands and crystal clear sea, fresh coconut juice and yummy home cooked meals. We felt like we were staying with family as everyone was so welcoming and warm. It was always quiet and private. Watching the stars at night while going for a swim was a treat. Going on the kayak during sunset and watching the sun go down behind the coconut trees on the island was absolutely breathtaking. Island hopping tours and snorkelling was available once we felt more energised and they were phenomenal. We loved taking naps in the afternoon and waking up just to get back into the sea! We enjoyed being surrounded by the animals, the cheeky goats, the pigs (especially Bacon!! Haha he’s funny!) the dogs, all playing together. We were really sad to leave and will definitely be back when we can. Thank you again to Rochelle, Vanessa and everybody!

Thanks a million to Samy and Greg for a wonderful stay in El Nido! The location of the house is perfect, it is only a few minutes walk from the main streets and beach, yet it is very quiet as it situated on a less busy side street. The bedrooms and bathrooms were spotless. The hosts were very helpful and receptive to our check out time, allowing us to store our luggage until later in the day. All in all Picado House is highly recommended for a group stay in El Nido!

Even though our stay was short, it was incredibly sweet and memorable thanks to Elena and her team. We are so deeply grateful for their wonderful coordination and communication; they made everything feel effortless and welcoming. They truly are exceptional hosts who seem to anticipate every need. We were particularly touched by their kindness and willingness to promptly respond to our requests. We feel truly blessed to have found such genuinely caring and attentive hosts.
