These cottages are for budget travellers who can tolerate accommodation that is inferior to most backpacker hostels.||The good things first. The cottages are a few minutes walk from Alona Beach where there are many eateries that open for breakfast. The hosts are friendly and relaxed. The room had a fan and airconditioner as well as good wifi. The grounds are well maintained and are attractive. It is also very quiet and a peaceful place. The room was clean but ants inhabited most places. The bath towels were ok.||Now for the not so good things. The toilet was the smallest I've ever come across. It was near impossible to sit on and get up from. I resorted to squatting -very dangerous at the best of times. Everything was makeshift and barely maintained. The plumbing was largely plastic pipes drilled through walls. The double bed was ok but the sheets were threadbare. There was a bunk bed in the room but I would never recommend it. The room was not cleaned during my stay but I'm not an untidy or wasteful traveller so it didn't really bother me. Mosquitos are rife but the host did provide a spray. ||Luckily my time in the room was to sleep only. Most of my time was spent at the beach or sightseeing.||To get from Taglibaran airport to cottages costs 300php for a tricycle and takes about 30 minutes. There are no shops or supermarkets near to the cottages. ||The grounds did have tables and chairs and outdoor cooking facilities. It seems that the cottages are popular with the young ones who visit Alona to learn to dive.||I tolerated this place but I wouldn't stay there again. It sure lacked creature comforts but it was for 2 days only and the pleasantness of Bohol and Alona beach compensated for the stay in the cottage. If you want cheap, basic and no frills accommdation at all then...
