Zhaya's Beach & Cottages

Trash all over the beach.

The place was nice, it was quiet and very relaxing, the staff was also very accommodating.

It is very far from the main, so it will take time to travel when you are going for a tour on the islands.

Really enjoyed my stay. The place was clean, cozy, and exactly as described. Lovely cottage directly on the beach. The bar has tasty food, incl. breakfast and great drinks! Communication was easy and check-in was hassle-free. Highly recommended!”

Right on a beautiful beach! Gorgeous sunsets. Food was decent at the restaurant (some meals were really good, some were ok).

Our cottage was right beside the kitchen and therefore we got lots of smoke in our cottage which was frustrating especially with no AC and a weak fan. Its actually pretty far to drive the scooter to Duli beach from the cottage itself and a rough ride.

The location is lovely, it’s right on the beach, the staff are soooo nice and friendly, the food is also amazing here! Very clean and tidy, highly recommend! It’s perfect if you want to have that living on a tropical island experience. :)

cute little huts directly on beach. great breakfast options, it‘s also a restaurant but we only eat breakfast there. we could even watch some baby turtles releases on the beach in the morning. staff is awesome and very helpful. they helped us even to bring some of our luggage to the bridge where you have to go to get a transport. very local and kind neighbourhood

the huts are quite small and there was no hot water but nothing that you couldn‘t adapt to :) some bugs but that‘s normal as the huts are a bit open under the roof.

It’s in a fine white sand beach. The staff were really friendly and accommodating. Their restaurant area is also beautiful and beachfront.

The beach was full of trash the morning of our arrival. Every other shoreline didn’t have as much trash and the resort next door seemed to have cleaned and buried the sea debris before the morning was over. Little kids running around the resort were littering; candy wrappers and plastic spoons on the beach.Getting to this resort requires you to cross a sketchy suspension bridge. Then another 5 minute walk through a neighborhood. Going to the town of El Nido costs P1,000 on a tricycle. This resort is in a rural barangay.

Quant Zhaya’s cottages were on the beach. No need to wear sandals for the duration of our stay. June,Cha, Shirley and the staff were exceptionally friendly. Their breakfast was delicious. There was so much variety to their menu, there was no need going anywhere else for meals. It was the best place to be. They have a wonderful bar offering many choices of beverages. A very popular spot for many travellers from other properties.

Getting to the property..you have to walk across a tipsy suspension bridge. Cars do not go here.

Great value for the price. Nice vibe on the beach and this small village. Highly recommended!

We had a very nasty smell close to our room, staff could not locate it.

The staff is really gentle and try the best out of it. They do are very nice people. The cottages are basic but comfy for up to 2 person, not enough space for travelling with children though, it’s very tight.The food was good too and breakfast was good.

It’s very far from points of interest and you will need to use a lot of time. Walking from the road is 10 min, and from coron city 45-60 min.There were 3 details that really made our stay just ok:- the beach is one of the most dirty I have ever seen. We took 2 buckets full of broken glass and the next day it was full of glass too and plastic. We got out a huge dead rat too, just in front of the beach beds of the property. No one cleans it, it dumps from the river. Quite disgusting. The part of the beach that is frontside of the hotel was same dirty too, which means they don’t take care of it. The broken glass is from local brand alcohol. Our daughter stab her self something while playing on the foot. Luckily was not a glass.- if you think about saving money for doing out of el nido you are wrong. The tour was with 40 persons more, you need to pay extra thousand per tricycle and finally you will pay time 2 hours and more money. Think it twice. It’s not about a relaxing stay.- there was a small detail that pissed off us, every glass of milk was extremely expensive for the little one, even one day was to be hot 150 pesos, which is much more than giving a beer to our daughter. I think it was way too much. But that was something that was just adding up to the other details.At the end we were not really happy, and that’s a pity, because we like supporting local business.

The location was quiet. The staff was very friendly and accommodating, the drinks were wonderful and the food was delicious.

The hanging bridge was scary at night and in the dark.

Amazing bungalow style rooms. Nice view and great beach location. Staff/service was the best. Would love to come back. Thank you!

Nothing, off the beaten path.

All the staff were friendly and awesome to deal with. Food and drinks were great. Nice beach that you pretty well have all to yourself

Quite far from el nido, but easy to rent scooters to drive around and explore

The beach and the sunset are great. It is not a famous beach so we will be almost alone with local people. The surrounding beaches are also nice.They help to organize activities and transfers. They charge some kind of fee for that help on bookings but at the end it is understandable... They are doing a work and the fee is very low. At the end they organized everything very well and they all are good people, which is the important.

The transportation from El nido is quite expensive (1000 pesos for ride).Difficult to fins cheap food once there.Place full of mosquitos and other insects, this can be very annoying during some time of the day.

Everything - the location is amazing right on the gorgeous beach. The food is very good, the fan in the hut is just enough to keep you cool and the staff are fabulous ! Highly recommend ??

The only thing is the road to get to it. About 2 miles of dusty, gravel, rock and sandy ruts. If you’re on a scooter I think you need a little experience but a tuk tuk would be fine.

Breakfast is very good but not much choices, staff was great but Road to go there is very bad

If the road is better, means of transportation needed improvement

Nice beachfront property and not crowded.

Only fans available, no air con.

The workers were great

Bar area… no place to unpack.. very small rooms

Absolutely loved this place!Spent 2 nights with my husband and 2 grown up kids.It was marvelous! The owners are so kind Food is also deliciousWant to go back asap!

Staff were friendliest I’ve ever met, beach right next to cottage. Food was so good and had two cute kitties to hold every morning and night ?

Very far from El Nido, road from main road to bucana is very bumpy and fills with water, noisy neighbors since you live next to a a village, Wi-Fi basically nonexistent
