Smoking friendly vacation rentals in Calamian Islands

A Slice of Paradise in Busuanga! 🌴🌺 Our stay at this tropical resort Serenity by the sea in Busuanga was nothing short of magical! The stunning views and beautiful design made for the perfect getaway. Our host, Mel’s was exceptional! From the warm welcome to the thoughtful recommendations for local activities, she went above and beyond to ensure we had a memorable stay. The communication was seamless, and she made us feel like family. The amenities were top-notch, from the infinity pool to the delicious meals provided by her onsite restaurant. Exploring the surrounding area was a breeze thanks to Mel’s guidance. We had an unforgettable island-hopping tour, complete with snorkeling in vibrant coral reefs and relaxing on pristine beaches. Each experience was better than the last! If you're seeking a tranquil escape, this is the place to be! We can't wait to return. Highly recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

If you want to get authentic Filipino farm experience, this is the place, what an absolute gem. Filipino hospitality at its finest.

Janette and Simon were unbelievably great hosts! This place is definitely for the “traveler” and not the “vacationer” - if you’re looking for authentic culture and adventure, this is a wonderful place to stay! The island of Culion is very small, and we were the only visitors on the island at the time! We rented out their entire upstairs, while they live downstairs. With the shared living area, they do an amazing job of being available, but giving you privacy as well. In just the two short days we were there, Janette made us four amazing meals and catered to some of us being vegetarian. By far the best food we ate in the Philippines! She’s unreal! And Simon took our newly scuba certified family on four dives. He was very willing to go slowly as we aren’t very experienced and took us to four beautiful reef spots where we saw some breathtaking marine life and views. They arranged a private tour four us to go into the village and swim in the gorgeous waterfalls. Highly recommend!!

Great stay. The apartment is very well equipped, clean and comfortable. Perfect place to stay several days. Communication with host was excellent, very responsive and ready to help. Close to the main road and near a very good eatery. Really recommend staying here.

From the very first moment, we felt more than welcome. Vanessa and her team ensured we had a wonderful stay in this beautiful place. The food was fantastic, the staff friendly, and there were many animals in this exclusive setting. It was the perfect start to our trip to the Philippines.

Let us be clear, you stay on an island away from the hustle and bustle of El Nido (Palawan). The surroundings are beautiful and soothingly calm, there are 4 extremely friendly dogs of varying sizes and a playful cat on the property. We were easily transported with car, then boat to the property and enjoyed our peace and quiet on the island. They provide incredibly delicious food and drinks at a higher price than what you would find on the main land but the quality more than makes up for it. We were also able to book a private boat tour of the surroundings, where they took us to a beautiful small beach on a tiny island with no one around, and several snorkeling spots with beautiful marine life and corals, unmatched from what we experienced of the general boat trips provided with tourist tours. We were extremely happy to have found this spot and would recommend it to any couple looking for a stay away from it all, this was exactly what we were looking for.

My partner and I visited Coron for 1 night in February. Initially we had booked for 2 nights, but unfortunately had to delay our stay due to food poisoning that we got in El Nido. I contacted Batbilig prior to our stay to explain the situation and he was extremely helpful and understanding, allowing us to adjust the booking to just 1 night. Batbilig was also extremely helpful in booking our ferry and transport to the port the next day. The yurt was absolutely beautiful. The bed was so comfortable and bedding was really soft. There was great attention to detail, offering some lovely eco-friendly toiletries (including shampoo and soap bars, as well as complimentary toothbrushes and slippers). We would love to have stayed for longer and would highly recommend stay in the yurts. They are brilliant value for money!

Great stay on the outskirts of Coron (about a ten minute walk from town but away from the noise). A tricycle back up the hill from town is 100, and a tricycle from the port in 300. We were greeted by three lovely golden retrievers and shown to our room where a second bed was quickly made up as we preferred separate beds. The aircon was good, WiFi great and the pool area was so calming. There’s a little minibar and mask and snorkels for hire. The host also helps with booking tours. There are building works next door as they expand their property, but this was between the hours of about 11-3 and not constant. Would highly recommend for a stay in Coron.

This was one of my favorite stays in the Philippines. The apartment has a lot of room, well kept, quiet & the air con is amazing. I highly recommend it! Hosts are very kind and accommodating, so glad I booked here.
