"Am from Toronto, Canada and we had a great stay on Bahala Na Villas last October 12-15, 2024. This is very spectacular private villas. When we arrived at night Win and Pao welcomed us so well and they offered us fresh coconut juice. The bedrooms are very comfortable, kitchen has complete utensils, bathroom is very clean. It is very cozy. I would like to go back to this villa again. Highly recommended 👍 Mildred Rangoo"
