Turtle Bay Villa Near Underground River


Large recent 5-Bedroom villa located in an unspoiled and very quiet environment between sea and forest.

Enjoy swimming in the sea or in the hill infinity pool, sunbathing on the view deck, birding or watching monkeys in the forest, fishing tilapias in the fishpond, hiking to other beaches, dart, playing volley ball near the coconut trees, snorkeling on a nearby reef (some equipment provided), petanque, watching turtles laying eggs at night during the season, surfing (we have 2 surfboards at your disposal), or just relaxing on the terrace while sipping an ice cold drink or a fresh coconut (courtesy of the house).

Nearby activities can include boat tours to visit the famous UNESCO protected Underground River national park, trek in the forest, ziplining above the sea in Sabang (700 m long), tour of a centuries old mangrove, hike to a village lost in the forest by the beach, caving in limestone cliffs, sea fishing at night, waterfall showering, etc.

The villa, 80 m away from the sea, can comfortably house about 12 people in 5 rooms (including 3 with king beds and air conditioning), has a large kitchen with a view on nearby rice terraces and is powered by solar panels during daytime and by a silent generator at night (from 8 PM till 7 AM). Lots of society games are available as well as a selection of DVDs and English and French books and comics. Kids are welcome and a baby chair and a crib are available.

And for those who can't live without phone and internet, network is usually available, albeit very slow, on the view deck ;-)

English and Tagalog spoken. On parle franais.
The villa is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 5 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 5 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find a TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a private pool, a washing machine, and a coffee maker.

PARADISE ............ so very nearly!!

The location of this property is absolutely amazing .........the property had many amazing features ........for us it was a holiday of a lifetime ...something I could only really have dreamed about so we really stretched ourselves to pay for it. Unfortunately there were several things that let it down and really need to be explained clearly on the advert: 1. The pool, wasnt ready, it was dirty, wasnt full as described (infinity pool) and was a long way from the villa up a lot (over 100) stone steps. The deck was alos unusable 2. Two of the showers were not working (they did get better when we asked) 3. No air con in top room ....needs making clear!! 4. Kitchen facilities poor...... pans old and nonstick long gone....... some of the utensils were put in the kitchen on the day we left. 5. Electricity kept cutting out 6. The cost of boat trip to the mainland was £60 7. Water was charged Most of these we could cope with and didnt spoil the holiday, Viel did compensate us for some by allowing us the roasted pig and bottle of wine free of charge. However the worst thing which did affect the holiday was that we all got bitten by sandflies. For a couple of a group this resulted in us not being able to sleep on 2/3 of the nights. We do not blame you for the sandflies but it would have been extremely useful to have been for warned so that we could have brought appropriate treatments. Sorry to have so many complaints but we really feel the need to let people know. Finnally though I need to reiterate that we did enjoy the wonderful location, the amazing views, the lovely sea and incredible starry nights Yours Andrea Laura Phil Danny and Emily

We had a very good experience with Turtle Bay Villa and hosts. Peter and Viel were quick to respond

We had a very good experience with Turtle Bay Villa and hosts. Peter and Viel were quick to respond to my questions and the answers I received were honest and accurate. We started out with 12 guests but due to work some were not able to attend. Our hosts adjusted the cost accordingly so we were satisfied with the outcome. This was the first time with VRBO/Homeaway that I had to leave a deposit in cash so I was worried about not being refunded but everything was fine in the end. This house is a small boat ride from the town of Saband which is about a half hour so if you don't mind getting on a Banca in the water then you will be okay. I had my 80 year old mother with me and although we had to help her climb in and out of the boat, we all thought it was a fun time. The house itself is beautiful and well done and the surrounding area is true jungle so beware of giant bugs and mosquitos. Our helpers Mark, DG and family were all very efficient when we had problems in the house and helped us with getting permits to the Underground River. The navigators of the bancas were all great sailors and were especially knowledgeable especially since part of our stay was during a storm. Overall, we had a great time and enjoyed the remoteness and the beauty of the beach and sea. If we were to come back, we would have to definitely stay a few more days. Thank you.
