Nice place, but beware of the road leading there.

Wonderful place and people. The cantina is nice. My only complaints are that the towels were super soft almost like microfiber and wouldn't absorb anything at all. So bring your own towels. One other thing, the road approaching is horrendous, simply awful. Oh and the dogs ... They are so nice, love those dogs!!

A must experience for family and couples

The living space was spacious with plenty of outlets and beds, the upstairs kitchen area allowed our family to cook, dine, and watch movies, the on-site restaurant was great along with billiards, ping pong and aquatic equipment was very helpful. I and my entire family recommend this resort and it's staff.

There are two big doberman dogs on the property but the owners were very accommodating of the fact I was bitten by a hostel dog in Dumaguete a few days ago so they upgraded me to a different room so they wouldn't be near me. Staff exceeded expectations and the room was very clean and comfortable. WiFi was functioning which is pretty rare in the provinces and there is food available which is useful as there isn't much available in Calatrava. The dogs bark during the night which isn't ideal but I would still recommend this place.

The staff is the friendliest and most helpful 2 people I have ever met. From the moment we arrived they were right there to answer any questions or take care of any concerns. Also she is a wonderful cook. My only recommendation would be to revise the menu as a lot of items are not available. I would suggest guests bring the staples as far as food and cook in your room, we did. The facilities and beach were very nice. I would certainly recommend to my friends.

Wonderful Experience

The owners,Maria and Doug were waiting at the ferry terminal as arranged.They were smiley,chatty and warmly welcomed us. This is a family resort and the home cooked foods are delicious,plentiful and very cheap. The kindness and service are second to none. The staff made us feel very special. This was our first vacation and all we wanted was sun, sea and sand,,,,,the loving kindness , smiles and service were a dream come true .We swam and kayaked in the clear blue seas, ate and drank on the floating raft. The bar is well stocked with ice cold beers, wines and spirits.A massive TV screen with unlimited cable, movies, heaps of music and karaoke. Our room was clean,air conditioned with a comfortable bed and en suite, towels, toiletries, wifi and cable tv. On leaving Doug and Maria took us to town to meet my girlfriends family and waited until her mom finished shopping. They then took us to the ferry where we said our sad goodbyes. These guys gave us treasured memories and I thank you from the bottom of my heart. We are returning soon for a family party. Edrock PS,,,squid, crabs,fish sinigang sweet and sour, pork adobo & chicken,,,,yum, yum :) loved it!!!

Romantic place for couples

Very nice resort. They pickup us up and dropped us off in San Carlos for free. When we were there the water was calm and crystal clear. The beach is very nice and they have kayaks, tubes and snorkeling equipment you can use. There are pretty lights everywhere at night. It is very romantic for couples and they made campfire for us on the beach. But no marshmallows. :-) The food is excellent. We tried the sinigang, and the baby back ribs.

Fun at Small Fry's!!

This is my second visit to SmallFry’s and I really enjoyed my stay again. The last time I was here I tried some of their delicious local Filipino dishes and their amazing homemade BBQ hamburgers. This time I tried the grilled fish. I even got to help choose it from the fisherman’s wives who come by the resort almost every morning with fresh catch. The staff and even the two cute puppies and are very friendly and helpful. The owners picked us up and dropped us off in San Carlos like last time. The beach is clean, well maintained and perfect for beach volleyball at low tide and water volleyball at high tide. I plan to come back again next year and will bring more of my volleyball friends.

Small Fry is the place to stay..

Small Fry was a wonderful place to stay and they were absolutely amazing to my family and I. We stayed there multiple nights. Sometimes with our two young children and one time alone as a couple. It is a perfect place for a family, large group, or a couple that just wants to get away. The food was amazing and there is a lot of things to do including karaoke, swimming in the ocean, playing darts, or playing pool. There is also a full bar available. The staff is so friendly and they are able to pick you up at the ferry dock in San Carlos and help you with transportation. If you need a place to stay in the area (whether as a large group, family, couple, or solo) this is the correct choice. They were absolutely wonderful and helped create many memories for my family. For that I will always be extremely grateful.

Sehr einfache Unterkunft

Die Zufahrtstrasse ist bei Regen überschwemmt, aber passierbar. Das Personal war sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Zu beachten ist, dass die Steckdosen nur für philippinische Stecker ausgelegt sind und man unbedingt einen Übergangsstecker dabei haben sollte. Einen Schrecken erfuhr meine Frau bei der Ankunft. Sie hat Angst vor grossen Hunden und wurde gleich von zwei freilaufenden Doberman Hunden begrüsst. Die Hunde waren sehr freundlich und verursachten keinerlei Probleme. Für jemanden, der Angst vor solchen Hunden hat, ist es trotzdem schwierig.
