El Nido hotellia

Plussat: The island is well maintained and activities were phenomenal. Full board delicious

Miinukset: Bathroom smelt like sewage

Plussat: Look no further. If you’re traveling from far away, spend the money and stay here. Best place in El Nido /Palawan.

Plussat: Best location in El Nido. You can kayak to Small and Big Lagoons, Secret Lagoons, and other secluded beaches. One of the best snorkeling sites is in front of the resort. The staff were friendly. Clean facility. Great bartenders and cocktails. Eco-friendly. Great excursions.

Miinukset: The place needs a major update. I think it was built in the 1980s and stayed there. It's becoming frayed around the edges. You can see some things are not well maintained. Food is variable but mostly over grilled or overcooked. Wine selection is mediocre to poor.

Plussat: I cannot recommend this resort highly enough, from the first moment we arrived we were set back in awe of the place. The activities / excursions which are available cover every type of day you would need and because of the location you are already within 5-15 minutes from all the major attractions. the snorkeling in the resort is great and on par with the boat trips to various coral reefs. The buffet meals were all a very high qualify the food was exceptional and the bar is a perfect way to relax after a busy day. The rooms are excellent as you would expect for a resort like this. Drinks are reasonable priced for an island getaway a little more than the mainland buy they will by no means break the bank .... We spent 3 nights here and we could have gladly spent 7 days, although in the 3 days we felt it was enough to get the experience.

Miinukset: The place is faultless.

Plussat: Very glamour and the most amazing views

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Location is amazing and the nice options for your schedule during your stay

Plussat: Miniloc Island is exceptional. There is a daily activity programme for boat trips/snorkeling/lagoon tours/jackfish feeding which is all included in the room cost, along with being able to take out a kayak or paddleboard at any time and explore the other nearby uninhabited islands. We even saw a turtle when we were snorkeling by the hotel! The staff are wonderful and the rooms are clean and comfortable (but not the largest). It's not the kind of place that you spend much time in your room so it didn't bother us, but I could imagine some would be disappointed with the room sizes with the cost per night. I'm vegetarian so it was difficult for me to find vegetarian food throughout our trip in the Philippines, but Miniloc always have two vegetarian dishes for breakfast, lunch and dinner. (One normally vegetables, the other carbs). The food did get a little repetitive for me, but i would imagine if you eat meat/fish then there is a lot of choice and it looked good quality. Some of the best we came accross in the Philippines.

Miinukset: The rooms are smaller than you would expect for the cost per night, but are clean and comfortable and have everything you need.

Plussat: The place is really amazing if you have the money is the best place to stay in El Nido. You are in the same island that big lagoon so you can catch a kayak and be there in 10 min.

Miinukset: Is it too and for that kind of money you imagine something more expectacular (the hotel not the place, the place is amazing) The beach was not that great. For swimming you have to use sandals or something because the corals hurts.

Plussat: Amazing location, all tours included, friendly staff, clear water, paradise!

Plussat: Exclusive, isolated island location with a slow, peaceful pace and gorgeous views of other islands across the water. Luxurious, stylish villas and excellent service all around. Some standard boat trips are complimentary and others are not but can be arranged at reasonable fees. Wi-fi works well. Airport pickup and boat transfers to and from the resort are well run and efficient. Many complimentary items in the suite include slippers, sun hats, a metal water bottle and a beach bag.

Miinukset: High prices in the restaurant. Breakfast buffet perfectly adequate but not outstanding as one might expect from a resort of that caliber and price bracket.

Plussat: This resort is an absolute dream regarding the location and accommodation. We where staying in a Beach Villa and where fortunate to stay there with our two children. Very spacious, a lovely bath and a very comfortable bed. The views are breathtaking- you don’t need to leave your villa, really. Many (free) activities are offered, which are well organised and worth taking part. Staff was super friendly. Only downside was that we found it somewhat overpriced. We payed over € 1000/night incl breakfast for one room (for the four of us) and we didn’t feel it was that exclusive (location wise it was 10 stars!). The food was ok but not great (prices where reasonable though). And the Beach Bar, Restaurant and main building were not that attractive - nothing to hang out the entire evening. Pool Bar and Restaurant where beautiful and so of course was the terrace in front of our bungalow.

Plussat: Beautiful island, service staff were great. Love the warm welcomes. Go to the beach bar and enjoy the live music by the bartender, & watch the sunset. Activities & boat staff were safe & informative.

Plussat: The view

Miinukset: The gecko sound

Plussat: Wines

Miinukset: Wines not cold. So few choices of foods in menu. I love everything except the restaurant. I hope you can offer more choices of foods.

Plussat: Honestly, One of the most amazing places I’ve stayed. The hotel, the staff and location was just incredible!

Miinukset: Nothing to fault!

Plussat: Fantastic setting and facilities. Staff was courteous and attentive.

Miinukset: Suboptimal WiFi in some of the public areas such as the pool and restaurant. Occasional lapses where the operator number wasn’t answered promptly or at all such as when trying to get bags to check out. I think your tour descriptions and help should be more specific in letting guests know how to dress and what specific activities are involved. Will I be wading in the water to disembark from the boat? I would have wanted to know what sites I can visit — caves, lagoons, snorkeling experiences, sister resorts. Can I tailor a tour/rent a boat for a specified amount of time? It wasn’t clear.

Plussat: everything

Miinukset: none

Plussat: Great location, facilities were absolutely awsome & the staff were very friendly. If your looking for a place for a proposal wedding anniversary then the Vellago puts on a special occasion based on your requirements which is second to none, can't rate this high enough.

Miinukset: All good

Plussat: Location, staff, food, rooms, privacy, amenities,

Miinukset: Specifically that week they had issues with Generator so no electricity all day which meant no wifi. But we acknowledge it was due to that incident otherwise surely would had been perfect. Mosquitos!!!

Plussat: I stayed for 3 nights in the honeymoon suite. There are only a small number of properties (though they're planning more) which are all so intricately and beautifully designed, built (from wood) and furnished. The rooms are spacious and the bed is large and comfortable. They also provide a helpful Handy phone to use during your stay. Vellago is situated on an island off the main coast (7 commando beach) giving a decent level of seclusion and a setting that is absolutely breathtaking. Particularly for breakfast (a delicious range of egg options served with a generous fruit platter and fresh juice.. on our room's balcony. We had Omelette and Eggs Florentine. It's one of the best hotel breakfast we've ever had)... and also for candlelit dinner on the beach. During our stay we also had a massage. This deserves special mention for being simply brilliant. The masseuse found our aches, tension and pain points as she scanned our bodies with her hands and combined a range of different techniques in tackling them. We both felt a million dollars after that! As for the staff; extremely friendly, fun and helpful - especially Irwin (who was fantastic) and Jay and the boat captain (who took us to and fro town every day, morning and night!).

Miinukset: You're on a beach which is part of Tour A (the most popular tour) so there is the daily stream of tourists that breaks the seclusion (unlike other Islands like Miniloc which restrict access). Being on an island also means that this is quite an expensive resort so expect to pay a premium for everything (food, massage, private tours etc.). Whilst the dinner was generally very good (especially the Lemon Tuna and seafood platter) the chicken dishes were a tad salty.

Plussat: Amazing setting, amazing staff especially Herwin, never stayed someone and be made so welcome. Would recommend this place to anyone.

Plussat: Nice staff beautiful restaurant incredible service

Miinukset: There need to be much more vegetarian and vegan options if they are adopting sustainability standards and catering to an eco-conscious and international crowd. Otherwise very nice staff.

Plussat: Location was incredible, the staff were great and very helpful and the views from the room including breakfast served on the balcony was amazing.

Miinukset: There is one restaurant at vellago and a lot of the items on the menu were not available consistently while we were there. The menu was also over priced - was cheaper to take a boat to a restaurant 5 mins away with more choice and better quality of food.

Plussat: Outstanding owners, hospitality, setting, amenities, housing. Truly the top echelon of boutique resorts.

Plussat: The staff were so friendly and accommodating to all of your needs. It was very clean and comfortable and a very romantic secluded getaway. It was absolutely gorgeous.

Miinukset: The tours were very expensive with little to do around the area. The food and drinks were also expensive but understandable being on a private island

Plussat: We loved the location, the food and the staff was so friendly. We really hope to come back here one day!

Plussat: Incredible facilities. So beautiful and comfortable. I loved being secluded on an Island. It was very relaxing. We stayed for 3 nights and if we had the time we would have comfortably stayed 5 nights instead to enjoy the beautiful surroundings. Great snorkelling at your door step. And the food was so good: from breakfast on your balcony to dinners on the beach. The whole experience is really special and luxurious. Great WiFi.

Miinukset: Just got a little expensive after indulging in all the beautiful dinners. Boats aren’t suppose to be on the water after dark so your options are limited in the evenings. I enjoyed this aspect of our stay but it’s something to be mindful of when booking.

Plussat: Cool and big hostel to stay. Very western. Had a private room so we cannot comend rhe dorms. The breakfast was very nice!

Plussat: The location was great and a decent breakfast to start the day.

Miinukset: Clean towels were unavailable upon arrival and were reluctantly given beach towels for the duration.

Plussat: Friendly hostel and staff

Miinukset: Towels need to be change Water is yellow and smells bad

Plussat: Good location and clean. Breakfast was good

Miinukset: Small rooms

Plussat: Hotellitasoinen hostelli aivan El Nidon keskustan tuntumassa. Lähes joka illalle oli jotain spesiaaliohjelmaa. Yleiset tilat viihtyisät ja aamiainenkin hostelliksi hyvä. Huone kompakti ja mukava (olisi tosin voinut olla siistimpikin (miniminimuurahaisia)). Kerrossängyt leveät, me mahduttiin nukkumaan alasängyssä vierekkäin molemmat. Suihku ja vessa hyvät.

Miinukset: Henkilökunta ei ollut kovin ystävällistä eikä palvelualtista. Saapuessamme emme tunteneet oloamme tervetulleeksi, emmekä saaneet kunnollista infoa (missä on mitäkin tms.), minkä huomasimme toisten asiakkaitten myöhemmin saaneen eri työntekijältä.

Plussat: It was clean and very good varieties of breakfast. Good access to everything and they also books tours, that picks you up at the entrance of the hostel. BBQ night was very good for cheap price.

Miinukset: Small room

Plussat: Everything, specially the breakfast and the very good wifi.

Miinukset: A bit pricey, not enough showers if full.

Plussat: All the food was very pure. It is impossible to swim from the hotel - you need to go to another place. The rooms are simple. No place to sit and relax except for a pool. But stuff is very helpful and nice.

Plussat: I liked the fact that the stuff understud my complain and sent us to better resort.

Miinukset: Overpriced resort. You pay so much and get nothing. They tell you front beach and on the watter vila. But there is no beach. Small vila on the watter for more then 500$/night. All you get is old small swimming pool and overpricing bar. You have to pay 4000pesos per day per person to get lunch, dinner and small cruise. The reception sent us to another resort, which was a little bit better.

Plussat: The staff was amazingly courteous and friendly. The food and drinks were very well prepared. Good range of activities to do. A very tranquil place.

Miinukset: The pillows were a bit hard and with the soft mattress it resulted in neck pain. Maybe softer pillows would be good to have.

Plussat: A superb experience. Very well organized. A true nature paradise.

Plussat: Beautiful resort! The staff very very helpful and made sure that we had a memorable stay. You can easily plan day trips from the resort to go visit the lagoons and the other attractions. The facility offers a beautiful swimming pool where you can simply relax after you complete your daily activities. They also offer a delicious selection of cocktails by the pool and you can also take advantage of their happy hour between 4 pm to 6 pm which i highly recommend.

Miinukset: The buffet selection was somewhat limited and the food was repetitive. You can also order a la carte but even then you have only a few selections.

Plussat: Super friendly staffs, clean room and stunning view!

Plussat: Literally everything. From the delicious food cooked fresh at every meal to the beautiful view of the cove and activities around every corner, we could not have been happier with our experience. We were treated great by the staff. There is a ton of fun to be had. We went snorkeling and scuba diving and even had our own private island tour and romantic private dinners. This was honestly the best vacation I’ve ever taken. We will absolutely be coming back here.

Miinukset: N/A. Everything was wonderful.

Plussat: It was beautiful and the pool was very nice.

Miinukset: You couldn’t access the beach, the breakfast was not good, not great options didn’t even have toast for the eggs.

Plussat: Room and staff

Miinukset: No beach for swimming

Plussat: Staff is very attentive and can always be seen around cleaning and organizing things.

Miinukset: Breakfast wasn't that great. should probably let people know power will be off during certain hours. Just so it's not a surprise

Plussat: Good location. Clean and comfortable rooms.

Miinukset: The breakfast so poor

Plussat: The location absolutely fantastic, on the edge of town overlooking the water and harbour. Beautiful sunsets and wonderful views. Quiet place with only 12 villas, but there will be more built behind in future. Staff friendly and very helpful. Loved it here, sad when we had to leave.

Miinukset: Villas slightly dated, but still nicely maintained.

Miinukset: My friends were charged for using the swimming pool.

Plussat: The view from the pool

Miinukset: Breakfast (but this is me)

Plussat: It was peaceful and quiet. Breakfast was good (not many options but you can still have a cup of coffee and 2-3 kinds of fruits with nice view). Especially, we liked a bar. Good music, happy hour:)) We enjoyed our stay. Thanks

Miinukset: Birds were very loud in the early morning.

Plussat: The resort is the best as it is operated by the most friendly staff I have ever come across. From the moment you get picked up from the port of El Nido, you feel how special you are being treated. The resort is just perfection, the infinity pool is beautiful and the rooms are so clean. We have stayed here for four days and since it's on its own island, you can only eat from the one restaurant it has, but my golly, the food is delicious. And so many choices! From Filipino, Italian, Korean cuisines etc! Kudos to the chefs for even the breakfast we had was just so scrumptious. And it's different everyday! But the most valuable aspect that made this resort so perfect was the staff! Angel was so welcoming and warm, she made us feel like we're home, I've never met such a wonderful human being. Blaine also made our stay fun and talking to him make us feel like we're talking to a really good friend. All the staff, like Reymark (I think that's his name hehe), he made us feel safe when he guided us on a day tour around the islands. His team worked so hard to feed us during the day and was so patient in guiding us and telling us all the information. There are so many staff in this resort and they are so amazing and friendly! They are all Filipinos from what I can gather. I did meet a non-Filipino (who looks white and skinny) but he's not friendly at all. Apart from that, the staff has all my praises.

Miinukset: I did meet a non-Filipino (who looks white and skinny) but he's not friendly at all. It did make me feel a bit uncomfortable. But we did not see him a lot of the times so it was alright.

Plussat: Excellent resort with super-accommodating and very friendly staff, (special mention goes to Mark and Josie who looked after us during meal times and Bien- our amazing tour guide!) excellent facilities and clean, modern rooms.

Miinukset: They don’t serve alcoholic drinks and pork dishes except bacon.

Plussat: All great! Incredibly friendly staff!

Miinukset: No alcohol

Plussat: Our stay here was the highlight of our trip to Palawan. Booked t at the last minute and so glad we did! The staff is incredible and so accommodating. Our server most of the time was Deo, he was a very well spoken, kind and very friendly young man. He was so helpful and made sure our trip was over and above excellent. The boat tour we booked through The resort was much more expensive than the ones from El Nido, however, it was so worth it. Our guide, Elmer was so great and his support staff was so wonderful as well. The trip was personalized and catered to our group very well. We took kayaks out for fun and saw beautiful sights. The snorkeling in front of the resort was great if you swim out a bit. We were so impressed with our suite as well. Advertised as a "partial ocean view" but we weren't missing much!! We saw it all and witnessed some incredible sunrises from our balcony. Room was clean, cozy and so luxurious. Every need was met. I could go on for days...it is truly heaven on earth at Matinloc Resort.

Plussat: Location- excellent! We lived in a sea view villa on the mountain rocks- amazing view for ocean and islands, no neighbors, monkey and big terrace with chairs

Miinukset: Staff- everything is very very slow- you should wait your juice min 20 minutes, dish like 40-50 minutes. Very strange situation with alcohol- no alcohol on island, but all people drink their own- and its look awful. Transfer- they have only 3 boats per day, we arrived and wait 4 hours for boat transfer, when we were leaving the island we asked to put boat not at 5.30am, but at 7.00 am, because we had flight only at 9am. They told- ok, if other people said ok- at the end we had boat transfer at 5.30 and people in our boat also had the same plane at 9.00 and they asked to move departure- hotel doesn’t think about people convenience and doesn’t listen what they want. Sorry, but this not suitable for hotel with price for villa for 2 people 2,7 thousand dollars for 3 nights...;(

Plussat: We loved our room, with an extra bed upstairs, where our kids could sleep. Comfi beds and everything you need is there, even an nepresso machine! We loved our monkey visitors in the afternoon! Our kids played a lot with the soccer table and other games. The lagoon tour was fantastic!, with an amazing lunch at the beach.

Miinukset: The staff in the restaurant have to be trained better, they try to do their best, but they need to know more how it works.

Plussat: What a special place! We stayed here for 2 nights but wish we could have stayed longer. The staff were amazing (especially Harry at reception) and the room was EPIC! We stayed in a beachside villa and we did not regret our decision! Highly recommended BUT remember to bring your own alcohol as the resort does not provide.

Plussat: Friendly staff and nice rooms although a little tired

Miinukset: We both got food poisoning - would advise not staying here

Plussat: Relaxing place far away from town and tricycle drivers. Perfect if you are looking for a laid back place to chill. Amazing diving (mantas and much more) and snorkelling so dont miss out on that! Good base for kite surfing too. Very friendly and relaxed people makes this place enjoyable. Amazing star sky, hard to find elsewhere, especially when you come from Europe. Staff is smiley and honest- thanks guys!

Miinukset: Don't expect a good beach here. Due to low and high tides and seaweed you dont have perfect conditions for sunning and swimming.Slow service and food options are very limited and sometimes they didnt have soft drinks or other things at all. The bungalow was nice wit amazing view, but due to the way how the bungalow was build, it was very windy inside.

Plussat: Such a peaceful and relaxing place! Camping huts were nice, showers and toilets were ok but the most important that the people working there were wonderful!!! Really and truly it’s a paradise!

Plussat: Everything, the staff and people over there is the best. Great time. They treated my like family, and the calm of the place is perfect for disconnect and relax. Best massage ever! Would repeat again, I hope I can go back. We planned to stay one day and we ended up staying 3 but I wish I could stayed the whole month. I had a lot of fun with the staff and we played a game one night that was very fun. They help you with everything you need and make you feel very comfortable. Very nice food too. It's an obligatory stop in your trip to Philippines.

Plussat: Everything, the view, the activities, the food, the personnel are amazing.. They will do their best for you!! I was sad to leave this people!

Miinukset: Leaving this place

Plussat: Lovely out of the way location. Very chilled relaxing vibes. Wish the fire we noticed near the camps was going.

Miinukset: The mosquito net on the front door of our tent didn't zip up properly so we either had to bake or get bitten

Plussat: The island tour was super awesome. We chose this place because we feared that the island tours from the western part of the island would be supercrowded. And we were right. The island tour from Tapik (on the east coast of the island) is incredibly beautiful (most likely much better than the one on the west coast that everyone is doing) and not crowded at all. You have some of the world's most beautiful beaches almost exculusively for yourself. I have done a lot of island hopping tours in the Philippines (including Siargao, Port Barton and Coron) and I would rank this one the best or maybe the second best. Also our cottage was quite big and had a great balcony.

Miinukset: The van driver who takes you from El Nido Town on the west coast to Tapik on the east coast. We arrived in El Nido Town at 11am. We had to wait for the driver until 2pm. Then he needed two hours to get to Tapik, because he took several detours and was talking to a lot of people. We arrived at 4pm, so it took us 5 hours for a route that normally takes you less than 1 hour if you just take a tricycle or rent a motorbike. On the way back it was even worse. We told the reception that we wanted to be picked up, and they told us that the van driver would be there between 7:30 and 8. He still wasn't there at 9. So they organized for us a private van that cost 1800 pesos. He just needed 40 minutes to get us to El Nido Town. It was expensive but he saved the day. So we could still do ziplining and visit Cabanas Beach. Otherwise the day would just have been wasted. It's not the fault of the hostel. The people at the hostel were really helpful and tried their best to make up for the unreliable driver, but I recommend you to just rent a tricycle to get to Tapik. Don't wait for the van. Also you should consider that there is no electricity between 6am and 6pm. And our room just had two AC plugs. And we had a lot of electric equipment that need to be charged (GoPro, drone, two phones, powerbanks,...). So it need a bit of planning to charge our stuff.

Plussat: Scenery and the camp-like theme. Quite and relaxing. If you are not interested in tour A, B, C, D Tapik is a nice destination. Trekking, falls and nacpan beach are enough. Massage is cheap and good

Miinukset: Front desk is not familiar with their tour offers. Website and fb info are not updated. They don't have own airport shuttle or service that's why travelling is a hassle. Affiliated van transpo will pick up and drop off passengers from different places which will make your travel longer because Tapik and airport are the last pick up and drop off. PPS Airport to Tapik will take 6 to 8 hours. Don't expect too much in their menu and no cafe latte

Plussat: Nothing

Miinukset: To be true the picture that showing in booking.com are not the real we booked a vila we got a room looks very bad the service was terrible the shower is not working without hot water most of the times and the water not going down in the shower when we complained they said we will check and nothing happened we needed to beg for towels, its located next to a cemetery, very far from town, we got one key only after requesting so many times 2 keys.

Plussat: I like that they have their own pool, love the view as well.

Miinukset: I want this hotel to find a better tour agency for their guests. They booked us a tour with an agency that gave us food poisoning. I know that the hotel is not liable but i hope they can make the agency liable to the service given. The agency they booked us with did not have a first aid kit at their boat too. So when my boyfriend got injured i had to source out stuff from the island to stop his legs from bleeding.

Plussat: The staff was very nice, kind and willing to help us.

Miinukset: I didn’ t like the breakfast- it was horror-no option- only ananas, mango and watermelon. I didn’t like the smell from our bath.

Plussat: Comfortable beds, helpful staff, free shuttle to town, great pool for chilling after a day of island hopping

Plussat: Upealla paikalla rannalla, ihana katsella auringonlaskuja altaassa lilluen. Ilmainen kuljetus keskustaan huippuhyvä, vaikka kävelymatkakin lyhyt. Kaunis puutarha ja kaunis ja siisti ympäristö. Aamu-joogaa pari kertaa viikossa ylätasanteella. Myös huone oli siisti, tilava ja kaunis.

Miinukset: Hinta oli todella kallis, joten siihen nähden olisi ehkä odottanut esimerkiksi parempaa palvelua. Henkilökunta ei ollut aina kauhean osaavaa, esimerkiksi tarjoilijoiden kanssa tuli välillä epäselvyyksiä ja palvelu saattoi olla hidastakin. Huoneemme vessanpönttö ei vetänyt kunnolla ja meni tukkoon useampaan kertaan, vähän inhottavaa mennä monesti sanomaan, että voisitteko taas käydä avaamassa pöntön... Sama ongelma taisi olla myös ravintolan vessoissa, olivat tukossa useampana päivänä eikä niitä tarkistettu tai avattu. Ehkä tehty liian ahtaat putket.

Plussat: Great location, staff super friendly and food is very good.

Miinukset: The massage was expensive and not worth it.

Plussat: The staff were very nice and helpful, they organized our trip to the small and big lagoon. Its a bit pricey but its ok coz the guy who were with us were motivated and he really like what his doing we appreciate that and it was private so no stress. The food were tasty, my husband like the club sandwich so much and he almost eat it every evening. The mountain in front of the restaurant is stunning that u ignore the bumpy road u took to come to the hotel. For the price we paid for a night is ok. We had a great time. We will surely be back when he have the chance. Thanks to the team.

Miinukset: The soap and the shampoo basin were broken.

Plussat: Not too much variety for breakfast. I would have liked more than one choice of meet at the buffet and more variety from one day to the other.

Miinukset: The drain in the bathroom was very smelly. It made the room smell like sewage 2 out of the 3 nights we were there. The Jacuzzi advertised on the website was working but not hot. The hotel was a bit far out from the town, but the shuttle service was good. The drivers were very accommodating, we appreciated that.

Plussat: Free shuttle to town. Room was wonderful and spacious. Ocean view bungalows ( we had #4) were the best . Staff were pleasant, courteous and helpful. Delicious, varied, buffet breakfast.

Miinukset: Airport pickup took 30 minutes, despite advance arrival time confirmation. Happy Hour limited to weekends only. Dining Lighting extremely bright. Housekeeping misses—bath towel replacement, lamp outage, purified water and coffee/tea replenishment—minor items, but expectations nonetheless, given room rate.

Plussat: Amazing location and great beach front property Great morning and evening walks and breakfast with beach view Good and relaxing views of the beach and beyond from the rooms Very comfortable beds and clean bathrooms

Miinukset: Breakfast was good but certain requests like toasted bread etc was missed. Some mosquitos but this is expected in the rainforest/ tropical environment . WiFi was slow but who cares when you are in such a great environment and location

Plussat: The positives - it is a fairly good hotel, the staff was friendly and helpful. The included breakfast was very good and having it on the terrace in front of the sea is amazing. But...

Miinukset: The hotel is way way over-priced. It was the most expensive hotel we ever booked and for this price we expected much much more from our bungalow. The hotel is quite basic and doesn’t provide a good value for the paid money!

Plussat: It’s a wonderful place with an incredibile staff.

Miinukset: Everything ok

Plussat: Location was great. The concept was good.

Miinukset: Not a great stay in a perfect location!!!! Inflexible management, non courteous reception (unlike any other philippine friedly experience). Highly expensive for (room phone not working always, lizard welcoming on the bed, hot water not available in evening, only cash, no card accepted). Only advantage of great location, good huts and nice ambience. Memories are made by experience rather than location!!!!

Plussat: - the location and the Bungalows itself were beautiful - El Nido itself is beautiful and the surrounding islands are amazing - corong corong has the most beautiful sunsets - good breakfast - friendly staff

Miinukset: - the shower was rusty. When you open the water for taking a shower the smell was very bad and you had rusty particles on your body. So you feel even more dirty after taking the shower. - the dinner at the restaurant is too expensive and tasteless - the hotel is in total nice but for what you get it is way too expensive, you get in Switzerland the best hospitality for this price - the Organisation is a real problem, on our first day we waited 1 hour for our breakfast although we had to book it the day before, for having dinner you also wait for 30 min to get only drinks - we had a bungalow with a small jacuzzi, but it was never cleaned, there were leaves and dirt so we never used it

Plussat: Reception was always present and helped us a few times.

Miinukset: We booked two tours with the hotel, the first one was a disaster and the second a bit better but still not great. About the hotel: they do book a lot of tours and they know people will book tours on the same day of their check out: meaning they won't have a room for shower about a super salty day in the sea water - and still they don't have a shower for those guests. The bathroom sink didn't really work and the breakfast was really poor. The entire experience was not value for money in our opinion.

Plussat: Great location almost beach front of el nido harbour. Close to everything. Breakfast area is at 3rd floor with fantastic ocean view. Good value hotel

Miinukset: Not much

Plussat: Great view from our room. Lovely breakfast in the balcony restaurant overlooking the sea.

Plussat: Accessible in everything, resto, shop etc.

Miinukset: Stop are very accommodating

Plussat: The view from the room is magnificent.

Miinukset: Low water pressure.

Plussat: The location was great.

Miinukset: Bathroom had no drainage system so every time you had a shower the bathroom flooded. There was ants crawling round the sink and the bed sheets were dirty.

Plussat: Locations is great, very close to the most popular places in El nido and across the street from the beach. Staff is super helpful and nice

Miinukset: Bathroom was always smelly because of the whole sewage system. My shower drain was absolutely not working. In less than 5 minutes with the shower on the whole bathroom was flooded. That I had to really insist for them to fix which they kind of did. I mean, I could take a shower without flooding the whole bathroom but they removed the grate and never replaced it which made the stink worse. The toilet was also not flushing properly. Sometimes after flushing the water would raise and slowly go down and sometimes it would work just fine.

Plussat: The staff, the facilities (e.g. daily cleaning !) and the location

Miinukset: Breakfast

Plussat: The staff were very accommodating and accessible. The breakfast service was good and variable every morning. The lodge was in a good area of town as it was quiet but still close enough.

Miinukset: It was a bit mouldy in the bathroom specifically the shower. The shower also overflowed when we used it and flooded around the toilet/sink - eventually it would all drain down though. One of the sliding doors didn’t lock but we forgot to mention it - no one could get in as we had a balcony.
