The nine-room Tapik Beach Park Guest House is light on conventional amenities -- including hot water and 24-hour electricity -- but it's a charming and secluded property with budget rates. Located along a sandy beach far from the tourist traps of El Nido, this two-pearl hotel is way off the beaten track. Guests can stay in spartan, but romantic, huts and cottages. All rooms face the sea, but not all have private bathrooms. A bar and restaurant serve Filipino fare, and water sports are available for rent. The staff can arrange excursions around the archipelago, as well as massage treatments. Guests looking for a quiet but more traditional hotel may want to check out the El Nido Cove Resort, set on the other side of the island.
