I booked this beach house for a friend, and it was fantastic! Even more beautiful in person than in the photos, the rooms were spacious and filled with natural light. We were a big group and booked a total of four rooms. My friend and his group, who love to cook, enjoyed buying fresh fish from local fishermen and organic chicken from nearby farms. Cooking became a joyful experience with the sound of the waves in the background. Larry was such a great host! Even though he wasn't on the property, his detailed house manual guided us perfectly. Plus, we met the sweetest dog on the islands, Rabo. This beach house is truly a hidden gem and a perfect getaway. Highly recommend!

Everything was amazing, Araceli is off the tourist grid and can be difficult to get to, but this was our 2nd time to Araceli, first time to stay in JCAH, and we will gladly return there on our next holiday. The food was the best that we have ever eaten in over 30 years going to the Philippines, and cheaper than any other hotel. Owner is Analyn, and her Son and daughter in law were amazing. You must book the new white cottage at the end of the gardens near the beach.

This was by far our favourite place in the Philippines. If you are looking for an authentic place to stay and want to experience the true character of the country, this is the place to be. It simply has everything. The wooden cabin is great and super clean with a comfy bed, balcony, a clean bathroom and a beautiful view. In the morning you wake up to waves hitting the shore, while the sun rises slowly in the background, with fisherman fulfilling there duty during low tide. The owners are super friendly, additionally everyone speaks English and they even arranged us a boat tour to an island close by. We would recommend everyone to visit Araceli, stay at Gasa Sea Park and discover a hidden gem surrounded by corals and beautiful beaches.
