Footprints is a unique, casual beachfront resort on the beautiful west side of Tablas Island, PI. The owners (Owen and Angie) are phenomenal hosts, doing everything they can to make your visit to Tablas special.
The resort fronts a stunning and mostly empty beach with great sunsets and long stretches to walk. It is shallow, so swimming at low tide can be challenging, but the water is generally calm and clear.
The beachfront cottages are simple, but adequate in every regard. Mine had a comfortable queen bed, split unit air conditioning more than up to the task, a fridge for anything I wanted to keep cold and a reasonable bathroom with a shower with on demand (electric) hot water.
It's worth noting that Footprints doesn't provide daily housekeeping. They take a casual view and you need to ask if you want cleaning or fresh towels. But the minute you ask they will be provided with a smile.
The best part of the cottages is their oceanview front porch which includes a hammock, chairs and a small table. When I wanted a romantic meal with my GF Owen graciously brought over a dining table and candles and had us served right on the porch. Stunning.
The restaurant serves an incredibly wide range of food (Filipino, European, American, Indian, etc.). It is mostly good, but necessarily not always excellent. (Owen isn't a seafood fan so that is not their strength). I am confident that everyone can find something satisfactory to eat-if not, they will guide you where to go.

Tranquility at its best. If you ever want to get away from it all and relax at a beautiful resort this is it.
I had been in Phillipines for 7 days stayed at 2 different hotels and this was the only hotel with hot water and a blow drier.. Yes!!

No answer to my 2 messages about the transport and not possible to reserve a transport for me the day after my night to go to Calatrava ! I did it by myself (walked 15' with my big luggage !) ! Very surprised !

Hi Anonymous.
Sorry you feel this way about your stay here and your dissatisfaction with our help in terms of transportation and communication.
We always try our best and normally do go beyond and above with helping all our guests with any inquires and transportation but sometimes there is a lot of people with many question at the same time. We do rely a little that our guests also help themselves finding their way around.
Since I dont know your name and your date of stay I dont know if you stayed with us under the times where things where a bit hectic for us here in the resort where we was in the hospital for a few days and not able to tend as much to all the guests and queries.
But not an excuse, the staff should have been helping you with your transportation and they always do if you ask them. We have tricycle drivers stand by from our staffs family.
Anyways we hope you enjoyed the resort, beach, sunsets and food during your stay here and thank you very much for the feedback. It gives us chance to look into and improve our services and communication no matter the situation. I always tell our guests to be blunt honest with their reviews because that is how we improve ourselves even good or bad.
Hope to see again in the future
Kind Regards Owen.

Good place to relax. Owners very good host and make sure you are comfortable. Diverse Filipino and western menu. Cottage with hammock in front of the beach and you could see and hear the weaves which is the best way to relax and unwind.
Highly recommended

I loved the fact that it was a beach front, and that it exceeded my expectations.

Perfect Getaway!
Posted 19 Mar 2018 on HotelsNestled in a spot off the beaten path, Footprints is the place you go to if you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the daily grind. That said, even in a remote setting, creature comforts like air-conditioning, and hot showers are on hand. You can't beat the view with the beach right there on the doorstep. And the management and staff are so friendly and helpful, making sure your stay is pleasant and restful. Can't wait to go back for another getaway!
