Stayed here for five nights in a double room right at the beach. For 1100 pesos we got the double room with a private bathroom, fan and breakfast included. Room is clean and OK. Breakfast is served on the porch with view on the beach. It is simple but a good start for the day. Your room will not be... More

Our beach front cottage was clean and comfortable. We enjoyed our breakfast on our porch every day (included). The owners were very very helpful. It was no problem to store our luggage on out last day in El Nido in their house and they even asked some their friend to provide us a shower in his house, as we were... More

The cottage is right on the beach and you can't go wrong @ 900 pesos. Clean rooms, friendly staff, free wifi, cheap on-site laundry service. I was pleasantly surprised that my reservation actually worked! I basically showed up middle of the night and quietly checked into my rustic, clean room. Jane can arrange everything from bicycle & motorbike rental to... More

As a backpacker what more can you ask for? Its right on the beach front, its cheap and clean and the staff are lovely. After so many nightmare places we stayed in the Philippines this place put our faith back in our judgement! If we are back in this part of the world we would not hesitate to stay here... More

We had a really good stay at Tandikan. The rooms are clean but no towels. The staff are nice. It located in the beachfront but not so near where the party is or where the boats for the tours dock but that's okay because we don't like the noise anyway ;) At the back part of the cottages, there's a...

For P600 room a night with a beach front view, this is value for your money. If you don't mind a fan room and just the basics. They also provide free coffee. It's walking distance from TA's top restaurants. The owner also provide discount if you get their service for island tours

The stay at the beach cottages was fine and things were going great. The family seemed really sweet and inviting. I stayed for two weeks and the last night someone used a key to come into my room while I was sleeping and steal my electronics from my bag. The level of distrust and suspicion was only heightened when they... More

We had reserved a cottage at Marina Garden but didn't like it when we got there so we moved to Tandikan. She had a cottage for 600 pesos a night that was just off the beach. It was a fan room but you really don't need an A/C room since the power goes off. We ended up staying here 9... More
