Holiday rentals with a fire pit in Botolan

Our stay with Happy Hut Retreat was great! Since we wanted to cook and prepare our own food. Kitchen is complete. Vibe was great. Was not expecting branded bathroom essentials and super lamig ng air conditioner KUDOS! Highly recommended for family and group travelers.

the stay is so much fuuun!🥰 Ate caretaker is superrr bait also the host! they allow us to extend our stay dahil kulang ang 22 hrs lang😅 the place is sooo big and peaceful which I really love! Will definitely come back here. Salamat po!🩷

The place was spectacular! The instructions given were clear and helpful to find the place. There was a bit walk going down to the villas, but it was worth it! 💯 Host/ co-hosts were accommodating and friendly, quick to reply to my messages as well. Overall, would definitely come back 🥹

We had an incredible stay at Cactus and Tides! The villa was everything we hoped for—beautiful, peaceful, and thoughtfully designed. Photos don’t do it justice—it’s even better in person. The outdoor patio by the dipping pool became our favorite spot to unwind. Ate Arlyn and the staff were amazing—super helpful, attentive, and respectful of our privacy. Everything about the stay felt thoughtful and intentional. Even my 2-year-old nephew had the best time running around and enjoying the open space. Surprisingly, the absence of a TV was something we really appreciated—it allowed us to be more present, connect, and just enjoy the moment. The bathrooms being outside but still within the villa worked surprisingly well, especially after swimming. Less sand inside! A small extra bathroom would be a nice addition for quick access (especially kids or elderly guests who need to go urgently). Overall, everything was perfect. We left feeling refreshed and can’t wait to be back.

My family and I enjoyed our stay in Balay Angkan. The staff are nice and approachable. I will definitely recommend this place to my friends and colleagues. Hoping to come back soon once their pool is ready.

The Host and the Care Taker are really responsive. They Place feels like home. Flexible check in and out is available on less busy days. Thank you for allowing us to take a shower even after check out time

Donnie is very responsive and mabait kausap... 💗

18MAY2025 - I celebrated my 37th birthday here with my family and a close friend. Honestly, I kept my expectations low to avoid any disappointment — but I was pleasantly surprised. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by the caretaker, who was incredibly friendly, accommodating, and took the time to walk us through the place. It really set the tone for our stay. The area was peaceful, clean, and exactly what we needed. As someone who's visited different parts of Zambales more than 30 times — from San Felipe, Palauig, Iba, San Antonio, Botolan, Nagsasa, Anawangin, and various areas in Cabangan — I can confidently say this place stands out. In fact, it rivals the beauty and serenity of Nagsasa. Highly recommended for anyone looking to relax, unwind, and enjoy a peaceful escape by the sea. - Kip Alvaro

Kuya is very helpful, he sent instructions to the place that was easy to follow. Place is near sari sari-store and coffee shop. Walkable to the beach. There was some brown out but the place had a generator. Signal is weak but there is available wifi.

The place was so nice, much better than those in the pictures. Aircon was super cold. Ms. Julieta and her staff were super accomodating and made sure we felt at home. We loved the swimming pool which was warm and my kids swam the entire stay. Overall venue is 10 stars for us. thank you Ms Julieta and we are looking forward to visit you again.

This is the place to book if you need peace and relaxation. We loved our stay, thank you!

Thank you for everything.

Sam and Bibe are the most wonderful hosts we've ever had the pleasure of meeting. They're very proactive with all the info we needed, and are easy to reach and talk to as well. We also needed their help a couple times during our stay and they did not let us down. The stay was peaceful and the 10-minute walk from the accommodations to the beach was a breeze, the walk inside the Riverside/Riverback compound was therapeutic. Book the Acacia hut if you want a quiet place, perfect for unwinding, meditation, and deep conversations. The only downside to our stay was that the river fauna was in full bloom in the summer, but you can't really complain because that's how nature works! We also tried their tapsilog for breakfast, which you can pre-order from them and it was one of the best decisions we made during our trip! Overall a really beautiful place run by amazing hosts. We'll definitely add this to our top considerations for when we just want to relax!

The place was spacious. Easy access to the beach as well. The staffs were so kind and approachable. We had a great time! affordable place and less crowded

I definitely would recommend staying at Danum. The area is very quiet and near the local establishments. The caretaker was super friendly. The host even accommodated my last minute request. I will definitely go back when I go back to San Felipe. :)

The place is secured with fence. Walking distance to the restaurant and beach. Refreshing ambiance and highly recommended especially to a fur mom like me.
