The living space was spacious with plenty of outlets and beds, the upstairs kitchen area allowed our family to cook, dine, and watch movies, the on-site restaurant was great along with billiards, ping pong and aquatic equipment was very helpful. I and my entire family recommend this resort and it's staff.
Wonderful place and people. The cantina is nice. My only complaints are that the towels were super soft almost like microfiber and wouldn't absorb anything at all. So bring your own towels.
One other thing, the road approaching is horrendous, simply awful.
Oh and the dogs ... They are so nice, love those dogs!!
the hosts were accommodating and friendly, and very responsive. The service at the hotel was excellent and the food was wonderful. The views from the room were stunning. I will definitely be coming back.
There are two big doberman dogs on the property but the owners were very accommodating of the fact I was bitten by a hostel dog in Dumaguete a few days ago so they upgraded me to a different room so they wouldn't be near me. Staff exceeded expectations and the room was very clean and comfortable. WiFi was functioning which is pretty rare in the provinces and there is food available which is useful as there isn't much available in Calatrava. The dogs bark during the night which isn't ideal but I would still recommend this place.
Small Fry was a wonderful place to stay and they were absolutely amazing to my family and I. We stayed there multiple nights. Sometimes with our two young children and one time alone as a couple. It is a perfect place for a family, large group, or a couple that just wants to get away. The food was amazing and there is a lot of things to do including karaoke, swimming in the ocean, playing darts, or playing pool. There is also a full bar available. The staff is so friendly and they are able to pick you up at the ferry dock in San Carlos and help you with transportation. If you need a place to stay in the area (whether as a large group, family, couple, or solo) this is the correct choice. They were absolutely wonderful and helped create many memories for my family. For that I will always be extremely grateful.

Sehr einfache Unterkunft
Die Zufahrtstrasse ist bei Regen überschwemmt, aber passierbar.
Das Personal war sehr nett und hilfsbereit.
Zu beachten ist, dass die Steckdosen nur für philippinische Stecker ausgelegt sind und man unbedingt einen Übergangsstecker dabei haben sollte.
Einen Schrecken erfuhr meine Frau bei der Ankunft. Sie hat Angst vor grossen Hunden und wurde gleich von zwei freilaufenden Doberman Hunden begrüsst. Die Hunde waren sehr freundlich und verursachten keinerlei Probleme. Für jemanden, der Angst vor solchen Hunden hat, ist es trotzdem schwierig.
The staff is the friendliest and most helpful 2 people I have ever met. From the moment we arrived they were right there to answer any questions or take care of any concerns. Also she is a wonderful cook.
My only recommendation would be to revise the menu as a lot of items are not available. I would suggest guests bring the staples as far as food and cook in your room, we did. The facilities and beach were very nice. I would certainly recommend to my friends.
A perfect place for unwinding and enjoying the beach, especially their floating cottage. Ambiance is amazing, staff are very accommodating. A truly Filipino hospitality...You'll surely enjoy visiting the place, worth spending your time and money!
Very nice resort. The beach is beautiful and the sunrise just amazing. The people are very nice and the food was great. The burgers are amazing. We plan to stay again someday.
Beautiful scenery. Shark decor, plants, light beach colors, balcony, bonfire pit, kayak equipment, floating cottage, pool table, bar, kaorokee bar, and delicious Longenisa food. Owners are very hospitable and staff very friendly. Room is cozy and artsy.
The owners,Maria and Doug were waiting at the ferry terminal as arranged.They were smiley,chatty and warmly welcomed us. This is a family resort and the home cooked foods are delicious,plentiful and very cheap. The kindness and service are second to none. The staff made us feel very special. This was our first vacation and all we wanted was sun, sea and sand,,,,,the loving kindness , smiles and service were a dream come true .We swam and kayaked in the clear blue seas, ate and drank on the floating raft.
The bar is well stocked with ice cold beers, wines and spirits.A massive TV screen with unlimited cable, movies, heaps of music and karaoke. Our room was clean,air conditioned with a comfortable bed and en suite, towels, toiletries, wifi and cable tv.
On leaving Doug and Maria took us to town to meet my girlfriends family and waited until her mom finished shopping. They then took us to the ferry where we said our sad goodbyes. These guys gave us treasured memories and I thank you from the bottom of my heart. We are returning soon for a family party. Edrock
PS,,,squid, crabs,fish sinigang sweet and sour, pork adobo & chicken,,,,yum, yum :) loved it!!!
Very nice resort. They pickup us up and dropped us off in San Carlos for free. When we were there the water was calm and crystal clear. The beach is very nice and they have kayaks, tubes and snorkeling equipment you can use. There are pretty lights everywhere at night. It is very romantic for couples and they made campfire for us on the beach. But no marshmallows. :-) The food is excellent. We tried the sinigang, and the baby back ribs.
Stayed here again, The best food around. Try the Burger you will not be disappointed 5/5. Beach amazing well manicured all sand 5/5. Rooms VERY clean VERY comfortable. 5/5. ICE COLD Beer and full bar 5/5. The staff here is amazing 5/5. Price 5/5 You would expect to pay a lot more for a place with all of the amenities. ICE COLD Beer. The owner and his wife are truly amazing people and cater to every need. Pick up and drop off at the port or terminal. I will be back here again and again, I cant say enough about this place. You will not find a place better anywhere in the Philippines.
Beach volleyball, Jet ski and Banana Boat rides, Kayak, floating cottage, pump boat, Billiards, Table tennis, Darts, and the list goes on. Did I mention ICE COLD Beer.
This is my second visit to SmallFry’s and I really enjoyed my stay again.
The last time I was here I tried some of their delicious local Filipino dishes and their amazing homemade BBQ hamburgers. This time I tried the grilled fish. I even got to help choose it from the fisherman’s wives who come by the resort almost every morning with fresh catch. The staff and even the two cute puppies and are very friendly and helpful. The owners picked us up and dropped us off in San Carlos like last time.
The beach is clean, well maintained and perfect for beach volleyball at low tide and water volleyball at high tide. I plan to come back again next year and will bring more of my volleyball friends.
Very nice rooms but bad service and bad food! Dirty beach and owners dogs run loose. There is no restaurant just food service. Only 2 items were available at the time we were there. both terrible There is no juice bar as pictured! There is a fantastic bar indoors however no bartender or even a sign to tell you where it is.
Its a nice and quiet place ,you can appreciate the everyday life of the local around and see the people fishing on boat in front! The owners are really nice people and do their best to help if possible ,it was also a nice experience because usually you never see the owner and just get the answer sorry we cant sir ^^ i recommend it if you want to relax and change your surrounding!
Amazing hidden place. Be expecting a night of new friends and karaoke. Has a beautiful beach with kayaks available. Nice place to relax for a few days. The service and owners are amazing. Will definitely be planning a trip back.
