Mecaja Beach House

“A Peaceful Beach Escape with a Few Challenges”

We spent a fantastic week at Mecaja Beach House, enjoying every moment. The calm beach straight ahead of the house was ideal for relaxing and soaking in the natural scenery. Fresh, healthy food was a highlight: we ate garden‑grown veggies, tropical fruits, and seafood caught by local fishermen, all tasting fresh and authentic. Kayaking was a blast because a sandbar lies just a hundred meters from the house. The host/owner Gerd and Christian were incredibly welcoming and always ensured we were comfortable. We also saw the hanging bridge of Roxas thanks to the children’s hospitality. The staff were friendly, attentive, and helpful, creating a warm atmosphere throughout our stay. Mecaja Beach House is perfect for anyone seeking peace, fresh food, beautiful surroundings, and genuine Filipino hospitality, and we’d gladly return. However, we did get a lot of niknik (sandfly) bites—about 76 on me—making it the most uncomfortable part, especially for the kids, so insect repellent is a must. Niknik are everywhere in Palawan, not just here. The trip to Mecaja Beach House was longer and tougher than expected, with rough road sections, but the peaceful setting made it worthwhile. Also, the rooms lack air conditioning; the natural surroundings are lovely, but the rooms can get hot, and the kids were uncomfortable. These issues could be improved, yet they didn’t spoil the beautiful location and warm hospitality.

The food was really good, the place was very quiet and the staff were very friendly. However, they charge a lot for the shuttle to the resort, even though there are no other options; it should be included because walking takes 2 h but driving only 15 min.

Wow! This was truly more than beautiful! The cabins were amazing, the beds were good, and the location was stunning! The restaurant was very good, everything was cooked by the owner himself! They arranged everything for you. The massage was also very enjoyable!

“It was just such a relaxing and and beautiful time there.”

First, I want to say that all the low‑rated reviews are completely false; the only thing that’s true is that the drive to the resort is a bit of an adventure. The staff were the sweetest ever, all kind and really trying to make you have a great time. The food was amazing and the view was like paradise. You basically had your own private beach. You can rent a kayak and paddle to the mangroves or swim in the ocean right in front of your door. You can play billiards or just relax with a coconut drink in the hammock.
