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.
