If you are looking for calm, beauty and humanity. It's a 10/10 on every points. In front of JCAH, a white sand beach strewn with vertiginous palm trees. A few meters further on, a rocky beach filled with colorful shells and corals. You can rent a scooter to explore the island or a boat to discover the other ones around, surrounded by this beautiful crystal clear water. Araceli is the anti-city destination, the re-establish your inner humanity destination, the anti-touristic place. There are no bars or restaurants. You will cook for yourself (there is a nice functional kitchen), eat street food and share meals with locals. There are no maps, travel brochures, destination signs. You will have to ask questions and communicate with locals to explore this beautiful island yourself. Snorkeling, fish, hike, sleep... Live like an islander. One of my best time in Asia, my stay was amazing thanks to the place and the people there. Thank you Analyn and Annie for welcoming us and advising us during our stay. You were very helpful and reactive. We felt like with old friends. Goodbye until the next time!

This was by far our favourite place in the Philippines. If you are looking for an authentic place to stay and want to experience the true character of the country, this is the place to be. It simply has everything. The wooden cabin is great and super clean with a comfy bed, balcony, a clean bathroom and a beautiful view. In the morning you wake up to waves hitting the shore, while the sun rises slowly in the background, with fisherman fulfilling there duty during low tide. The owners are super friendly, additionally everyone speaks English and they even arranged us a boat tour to an island close by. We would recommend everyone to visit Araceli, stay at Gasa Sea Park and discover a hidden gem surrounded by corals and beautiful beaches.
