Vacation rentals in Talipanan Beach

The place was beautiful, the view was even better and the caretaker, Martin was perfect. He took us wherever we needed to go and picked us up whenever we needed it. He was very kind and very helpful. We would love to stay here again in the future. Thank you so much!

A tropical getaway that has reefs on the private dock, clear waters, lush vegetation but is maintained thereby preventing overgrowth. The entire place is clean from the waters, walking path, and the bathroom. Kudos to the owners for building a house that fits it's tropical surroundings...from the stones of the retaining wall/stone path, the pool, the modernized bahay kubo that has an overall cohesive look. They even recycle and use solar. We came with 11 and there were beds to spare. the beds were comfortable. There is no AC. There are plenty of fans in the living spaces and rooms. The fans in the living spaces coupled with the open setup is comfortable and bedrooms are ok with the fans, feels better late at night. The service is 10/10 with attention to detail; the tailor mademeals were well done. We went snorkeling off it's dock and they provided snorkels and life vests that were in great shape. The pool was big. This place deserves every bit of the 5 stars we gave it.

It was a fantastic experience to live there and take freediving course with Mila's family. I have enjoyed a lot, especially with quiet and beautiful beach. Although I was still suffered from equalisation tech, the complete training experience under water was memorial. It would be definitely recommended for travellers to stay in Freedive Inn for their time in Puerto Galera, whatever for freediving or just relaxation.

We had enjoyed our stay to Dra Marquez’s place since it offered a very nice pool and complete kitchen tools that let us cooked our choice of meals. The room is convenient for a group of six and has a good working aircon that cooled us down during the heat of the day. We were thankful for allowing us to add another person though there was no place for an extra mattress. Hence the sofa at the living room without aircon was used as sleeping bed. White beach is walkable but we brought our vehicle going there. The beach has still evidence of Storm Cristina’s effect so we decided not to swim at the beach. There were only few visitors that time and only selected bars were full pack. The bar we chose has band where guests may sing along. All in all, it was a really great stay. The only hiccup was during our arrival we weren’t able to contact the host so we got lost and thought we were scammed. Gladly locals knew them. They apologized and assisted us warmly during our stay. We’re heartily happy

We were very happy with our stay at Felipa's guesthouse! We spent our 3 days 2 nights trip there very comfortably. The unit we were provided had a sort of loft type bed for two and two more beds were placed on the floor. We loved this setup because it was very comfortable for us 6 people. The TV was nicely placed in front of the beds so we had a good time watching shows that we brought in our USB. The kitchen had everything we needed: an electric stove, a refrigerator, a percolator, a rice cooker, utensils, and also pots, pans and glasses. The bathroom was clean and the shower even had a heater. The water pressure was strong most of the time, but occasionally, the water goes off late morning to around lunch time. The sink was a bit clogged but still very much functional. The toilet was clean (although there was a bit of yellow tint there that we think can be removed easily enough with some bleach) and there was a bidet. Kuya Edward, the caretaker, is very reliable and is easy to reach out to with his mobile number. He recommended to us places to visit as well as packages we could avail for island hopping and inland tours. He also took care of our registration for entry to Puerto Galera so that we could speed up the process of our arrival at the Balatero port. (For context, we took the RoRo boat from Batangas to Balatero.) One of the highlights of our stay was our dinner at the breezy roofdeck. Kuya Edward laid out a table and some chairs there so at night, we brought our takeout food there. There is an Andok's branch within driving distance so that was very convenient. And most important of all is that the place is pet friendly! Our little Niña had a great time. If we were to recommend one thing, it would be perhaps to invest in a microwave oven for the unit. But the unit is already fantastic enough as it is even without it. If given the chance, we would definitely love to be able to book this place again!

The house was really lovely and it was way better than staying in a hotel. It was not easy to find however as not well signposted onthe main road. Jovelyn was lovely

We were a party of 7 (3 adults and 4 tees) and we absolutely loved our stay at Arleen´s place. Boquete Beach is a gorgeous spot, so peaceful and private. We took a water taxi from Batangas and it dropped us off right at the house -talk about door-to-door service! Arleen answered all our questions promptly, was super helpful and graciously accommodated our request to stay at her place with our service dog (who loved it there I think even more than we did!) Manang Helen shopped and prepared lovely local dishes for us, and was always very attentive. She madre great recommendations, helped us book tuk tuks, took us to a wonderful restaurant and was always willing to answer our many questions and tell us all about Puerto Galera. We visited Sabang a couple of times and met some friends who were staying at Fisherman´s Cove -only a short 15-20 minute walk from Boquete Beach (but everyone was jealous that we had a house all to ourselves, right on the the beach!) 2 very enthusiastic thumbs up!

The property is gorgeous and a great place to relax! This cottage has the best view and balcony of the four cottages because it's closest to the beach. We appreciated the extra room with the small fridge this cottage has to offer. The only downside is the bathroom, which is rather small. I know it's common for Asian bathrooms to have the shower head pointing right at the toilet, but it's still a bit annoying. Ate Chanda is a great host on the property and very kind and helpful! The location is beautiful, with very few people on the beach. There are a lot of sea urchins right outside the property, so bringing aqua shoes is useful. To the left of the property there are no sea urchins and there is a beautiful location for swimming and snorkeling a ten minute walk away. Going to Puerto Galera is tricky and the boat drivers charged a large fee to take us there, so beware that this place is remoter than it might seem on the map. Overall, we loved our stay here and would love to return!
