The property grounds are really nice. Lovely garden in the centre of the property. The restaurant is outside looking into the garden. Nice made to order breakfast. They have a swimming pool aswell, (possibly communal). Unfortunately, not much to do in the area. Other restaurants are about a mile away, and the centre is more than 2 miles away. The staff were all very friendly and polite throughout my stay.

I love the staff, Irene and Loi is very friendly, accommodating and helpful. They both go over and beyond my expectations. The Garden is beautiful and large. Picnic table is available for guest. I was able to bring food and have my family eat our dinner together in a picnic table. They let us cook our rice and cold water is available for us to use. There’s kettle to use although it’s shared, it’s useful to make coffee. Bath soap is provided but no shampoo and conditioner. There’s glasses and coffee mugs provided and safe box in the room.There’s table and chair in every room to sit with your friends. Friends or family are welcome to visit and they are so welcoming. I felt really home here. Downside, I got insects bites. It’s normal though when you’re in nature. Thank you Balay Tuko. I will be back.

The staff was beyond friendly. The food was wonderful. They asked what I wanted for breakfast the night before so it could be ready before my tour. They gave me a free ride to the mall because it was raining. The garden looks exactly like the pictures. Thank you Balay Tuko. I would live there if I could.

For modern conveniences, Balay Tuko is the answer!

In 3 of our hotel stays in PP, El Nido, & Coron Balay Tuko in PP topped the best hotel in terms of comp breakfast with more choices, modern bathroom, comfortable bed, & better service. We'd be staying there again if back in PP.
