I have no words for this beautiful place. It is a beachfront paradise with the most friendly staff. The place is back to basics with all the necessary luxuries like a restaurant with great tasting affordable food, free water and coffee, a cute private open-air bathroom but also a communal bathroom, a lovely beach, located in the middle of a local village with local mini 'supermarkets'. The staff treat you like friends and family. We had such a great time here and totally relaxed. You can't miss this place if you visit El Nido!

i liked everything. the staff was the nicest people i ve ever met. the beach is literally 3 m away. most delicious veggie curry i have ever ate. the owner asked if everything was okay every night making sure our staying is the best. we even got a famous filipino fruit salad from the wife what she made herself. room and bathroom was clean and theres an out door shower so you dont have to go in your room sandy after swimming. there were books to read, cards to play, free drinking water. the wifi is not the best due to lack of signal in the Philippines overall but this only gave us more time to connect, to relax and to enjoy the sea. literally the best place i ve ever stayed. relaxing and quiet.

    I was happy that the stuff allowed me to feed the dogs overthere at the Eko park, please keep doing that, they are so lovely and hungry all the time, it doesn't cost much. I like the location was near Las Cabañas Beach beautiful area to swim and relax. They had a hot water 💧 which is a luxury in Philippines. Helpful person with language, direction to some places, tours ABCD I recommend C you can see turtles 🐢 You can buy cheaper water, alcohol and snacks at locals store few minutes walking from the hotel.

    It’s a decent alternative if the other good hostels are booked up. Staff are really nice, beds are comfortable, free breakfast and free alcohol is a really nice touch, however the hostel is very basic. The AC is good and runs all day which is really nice (besides one night where one girl in an 8-bed dorm asked to turn the AC off completely which the staff did, so the rest of us woke up at 2am in pools of sweat and mosquitoes everywhere). Overall I would recommend if the other good hostels are full but know it’s very basic.

    My review is concerning of Double room with a balcony and sea view. First of all, Bucana is a very nice village, the beach is beautiful and atmospheric. It is pretty far away from El Nido (about a 50-minute ride by tricycle, 700-1100 PHP), but it is great if you want to experience an authentic experience with fewer tourists and more locals. The staff of Bucana Beach Camp is very nice and breakfast is delicious. The view from the room is beautiful.

    The size, facilities, services on offer and the locals are related to the host so they’re all available to help from laundry to maintenance. Freida the host was always available and organised all our tours from A to D, we managed to save around 30% compared to other prices out there.

    Very calm place, lovely hosts who admire and take care of the nature. All facilities are clean. Even is such a remote place you have water, electricity and internet from starlink is certain times. Food is very delicious. You can forget about the whole world in that resort. There is a possibility to adopt a turtle nest becuase they look after the eggs and after 2 months release baby turtles to the sea. Lovely stay
