Chekesh Casa

Simple garden cottages in Tubod, run by Giovanni and Mai Mai. Chekesh Casa is a small, family-run guesthouse in Tubod, San Juan, about a five-minute walk from Tubod Beach — the kind of quiet, personal spot where the owners' hospitality is the main draw.

Rooms are simple garden cottages with Wi-Fi included; there's no pool on site, so plan on the nearby beach for a swim. The on-site restaurant serves Filipino home cooking — think adobo, sinigang and kinilaw — roughly from 7am to 9pm, with breakfast available for guests. Motorbike rental can be arranged directly through the property. Reviewers consistently highlight Giovanni and Mai Mai's warmth, the peaceful garden setting, cleanliness and their willingness to help with tours and transport around the island — Chekesh Casa holds a strong 4.4/5 on TripAdvisor.
