El Nido hotellia

Plussat: The resort is beautiful and close to so many beautiful attractions. The diving was awesome, we saw some really awesome things. The staff are awesome, they are really well trained, helpful and very friendly.

Miinukset: It can get a little boring at night but you are so busy in the day time that it doesn't worry you to much.

Plussat: Beautiful surroundings, lovely staff, great snorkelling. Room was nice enough, 3 stars probably. A bit dated, but enough. Air con worked great. Lovely things left on the bed each night before sleep. 0z

Miinukset: Would have been nice to have some amenities provided in the room, q-tips, cotton pads, etc. The room was clearly designed by a man — hairdryer cord to short to reach over the desk where the mirror is, no makeup mirror, 1m between sink and mirror. Bed was also a quite hard.

Plussat: The location is beautiful, the staff are super friendly. Best part of the stay was our tour guide Gee who we had for a couple tours. Beyond friendly and knowledgeable about all of El Nido!

Miinukset: First room we were given was horrible. Especially for the amount we paid, it was the most expensive place we stayed in the Philippines, and the rooms was bad. We complained and were upgraded to a newer room, but don’t think anyone should’ve been staying in the one we were given. Also, the food was not good. Definitely catered toward Asian clientele, and disappointed that you have “set” hours you can eat.

Plussat: Well first of all we didn’t stay at Miniloc since it was closed for renovations so they Upgraded us to Lagen Island which is a nicer resort but I think I would have liked the Miniloc resort location more, since it has more activities to do, Lagen is more of a relaxing and just chill place. Having that said, The Lagen Island resort location is great if you just want to chill at lagend, the Island and resort are beautiful. And that is pretty much what you are paying. Staff is overall nice and very caring, the Tours offered by the resort are also good and the Guides are very friendly but sometimes it can get crowded on the boat... definitely not ‘’exclusive’’. Overall a good experience but an expensive one too.

Miinukset: The food wasn’t great to be honest, at least for what I felt I was paying for. I’ve been at other resorts at the Philippines with better food options. The rooms are also kinda avarage, even the water cottages... Sometimes the staff was too intense, They called me 3 times while I was sleeping and I even disconnected the phone and they kept calling. Definitely not the best way to treat a guest.

Plussat: From the moment we arrived to the moment we left, the hotel staff really went out of their way to keep us comfortable and happy. Gorgeous grounds. Very scenic and peaceful. The restaurant food was good and the staff were very helpful. The excursions were the best part. We did everything we wanted w/o issue. My family and I really enjoyed our stay.

Miinukset: Not being able to stay longer!

Plussat: Magic scenery, great food, nice activities

Miinukset: Kids screaming around the pool, unfortunately really not a place to chill...

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: Perfect! Nothing to say!!

Plussat: Everything

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

Plussat: The place was amazing food were delicious the staffs are great..

Miinukset: Well the rooms I think..

Plussat: If you are looking for a perfect resort.. this is it... we love everything in this hotel..

Miinukset: The food must be upgraded

Plussat: Breakfast was great and location is superb. The dishes are very carefully planned for all meals.

Miinukset: Airport transfers.

Plussat: The amazing stuff and incredible place

Plussat: Very private perfect for couples get away..

Miinukset: gym and kids playroom aircon are off, it was hot, and i saw a lot of ants running around

Plussat: The location and scenery is magnificent. The water cottages are amazing . Some of the staff work very hard to make sure your stay is memorable.

Miinukset: Sun beds at pool are not very comfortable. Beach not on site but is accessible by short boat trip.

Plussat: The people by far! From Event Manager Sanders to Head Chef Carlos, the hospitality was second to none. Sanders was incredibly accommodating and went out of his way to ensure that we were more than happy. Chef Carlos prepared an absolutely delectable meal for a private dinner. All of the staff helped to make our stay most pleasant. Lagen Island knows how to treat its’ guest!

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

Plussat: Clean and friendly staff

Miinukset: The lagon isnt really full of fish and coral, and there is no beach

Plussat: Paradise!

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: We enjoyed the privacy as well as the bungalows and pool area

Miinukset: Selection of food, as well as lack of activities

Plussat: Location is top! Staff is very friendly and efficient. Lot of things to do. Many water related activities

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: The island is beautiful and service is very good. The room is big, clean and comfortable and the view is just amazing. Due to just a few rooms, it almost seems like a private beach (in paradise!). A pleasant surprise was that most part of the activities are included (big and small lagoons, island hopping, snorkeling, kayaking, stand up paddling etc). Besides, the hotel is close to the lagoons, so we can get there when no one else is. The sunrise and sunset are breathtaking (and both can be seen from the island). Highly recommend this hotel.

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: Location

Miinukset: Should worn guests about sandfleas

Plussat: Everything

Miinukset: I expect the best accomodation since I book the beach front villa. 1. when we arrived in the villa the coffee table in the terasse is felthy. 2. In our second night I just found out the bed sheets we sleep are all old and even have holes in duvet cover. But in fairness to the staff specially to housekeeping I know they were all brilliant and hard working but they need to keep an eye on details. 4. On our last night I have very bad tummy that I could sleep untill 3am so I ask my husband to ask if someone can helf me I expect a doctor to come since the front desk said there doctor will come to see me but instead one of the staff bring a tablet for me to take. what a dismay.

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: The location, the friendliness of staff, the activities on offer and cleanliness of the resort were just excellent. Overall a truly lovely place to stay.

Miinukset: The food was extremely overpriced, at these prices you expect Michelin star quality/chief. We felt really let down with the food, this resort would be fantastic if they put some effort to fix their menu.

Plussat: I loved this hostel. It has a great atmosphere, nice staff, everything is new with a great taste in decoration and clean. Is the perfect place to meet people that are traveling too. They also organize stuff to do every night between guest and have a cool area to chill out.

Miinukset: Breakfast after 2 days is a bit repetitive but is not a big deal.

Plussat: Not my first time to stay in Spin Hostel and I can say that the service, amenities and staff remain consistently excellent. Truly a value for money!

Plussat: The rooms were spacious, as were the lockers. The bathrooms were also very spacious. The rooms were very clean and the beds comfortable. The common area was really nice with lots of different seating options. Breakfast was the best I've had so far in the Philippines. An egg station, pancakes, juice, coffee and tea, all included in the price. This place is awesome. And free tea and coffee any time of the day in the kitchen. If you have a refillable bottle you can also refill it here. The staff are super friendly and helpful. The location is up the hill out of town but it's only a 5 min walk to get back into town, so not an issue. Really enjoyed staying here. It's got enough of a social aspect, as they do something every night at the hostel, but it stops at a reasonable hour so you can get your sleep before those early tours!

Miinukset: The bathrooms could have been cleaner. Maybe curtains on the beds, because some people wanted you to turn off even the small individual reading light when they went to bed, even if it was only 9.30pm!

Plussat: Everything you need, cool common space, comfortable location, if you have no plans for evening in town-in hostel you’ll find smtn to do (margarita/karaoke/barbecue night)

Miinukset: Better to have more shelves/cases

Plussat: If you ever go to the El Nido, THIS is the place to stay!! It is a 5 minute walk from center of town which is great, the hotel design and decor are beautiful, owner and staff are amazingly warm and welcoming, very clean, very new, activities everynight, good breakfast, confortable beds...really the nicest place in El Nido!

Miinukset: I liked everything

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: The atmosphere and the ambience

Miinukset: Was wondering how the lobby would function when it rains and the open deck dining space

Plussat: The breakfast was great and I love that it was included in the booking. They had a great omelette bar and yummy pancakes, fresh fruits, coffee and tea. The rooms were large and airy so were the lockers. The property is close enough to the beach but far enough from the bars so you can enjoy peaceful sleep. They also had self service laundry machine which was very convenient.

Miinukset: There was only one female bathroom out of three available during my stay and it was dirty most of the time. The pictures online are quite different than the real deal, the property looks a bit older now but I guess that is to be expected.

Plussat: People are extremely nice and helpful. Always smiling and delightful.

Plussat: Everyone greet you nice and warm whenever you go back (even when we check in at late late night)

Plussat: Very handy to everything in the main El Nido township — easy to get to/from airport. I really loved the breakfasts here and the “egg station” where you can request eggs or an omelette with various toppings. The staff were super easy going, friendly, social and polite. It was a really cool vibe all around. Also liked that as a solo traveller, my room had only other solo travellers which made it easier to make some cool friends. Not sure if this was planned or by chance, but it was excellent. Some activities almost every night which I loved. The bartender makes an excellent margarita.

Miinukset: It’s a little expensive for a hostel - but it simply is leagues better than others I’ve stayed in.

Plussat: This is a beautiful place to stay with the most welcoming & accommodating staff possible. They all go above & beyond to provide the perfect holiday. Rooms have everything you need, even a yoga mat. Breakfast is lovely served each morning on your balcony. They set up an unbelievably romantic dinner on the beach for our anniversary & special breakfast & were accommodating to our vegetarian diet. Thank you all so much, best holiday.

Miinukset: Bar closes at 10pm & last boat back to hotel is 9:30pm. Have to settle into earlier mornings & earlier nights routine but it’s worth it for the best beach in Palawan & such top notch accommodation & care.

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: Staff, especially Jay, made us feel welcomed. They were also very friendly. The room was perfect and the view from the balcony so beautiful. We spent relaxing two days out of the hustle and noise.

Miinukset: The was fenced part of land next to Vellago and it was a bit messy, but that was not Vellagos fault,

Plussat: This was by far the best experience we have ever had at a hotel. The attention to detail was exceptional, everything from the room decor to the private beach area, the food, the amazing customer service. I cannot recommend this hotel enough.

Miinukset: You pay for what you get I guess

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: We stayed at Vellago for three days and I can honestly say that I felt I had come to a different world altogether. The resort is situated on a different side of the island, and has a view to die for. It is a quaint little resort done very tastefully and ensures that you have the view of the sea almost all the time. While the resort is very beautiful it is their staff that makes them a perfect 10. Herwin and Louie and the rest of the staff go that extra mile to ensure that the stay is excellent.

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

Plussat: The breakfast and location absolutely awesome!!! Sipping the delicious coffee, watching the crystal clear water on the beach, enjoying the amazing mangoes and pineapples on the fruit plate was unforgettable.

Plussat: Beautiful location on seven commandos beach, great views from the balcony! The team looking after guests are also great and can’t do enough to make sure you have a fantastic experience. The food is also delicious and a nice touch having breakfast delivered each morning, overlooking the sea!

Miinukset: Being on one of the tour routes means there are boats arriving periodically throughout the day however this really isn’t too intrusive and security are on hand to make sure non guests are kept away from the villa’s themselves

Plussat: Wonderful location, relaxing atmosphere, well equipped room (top sound system, Handy local mobile) breathtaking view from your terrace, delicious food. Breakfast is served on your balconyand, you can have a lunch in a beach-cabana, dinner on the beach under the sky. All the staff is very lovely but Herwin was an extremly welcoming host. This place is the perfect place to lie down, relax and enjoy your private paradise. ‹3 Highly recommended!

Plussat: For the money I paid this hotel was extremely expensive. I was very disappointed!

Miinukset: The room was very basic!

Plussat: Room and staff

Miinukset: No beach for swimming

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.

Plussat: Despite various non-working amenities, still best spot to stay in town. Location is extremely convenient, as it's at the edge of town which means away from noise, but 5min walk to food/shops. Hotel is comprised of free-standing 'huts' which were cute!

Miinukset: Many things didn't work (hot tub, wifi, hot water, safety deposit box), and for most of the problems, the staff took a 'c'est la vie' approach rather than attempting to fix.

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

Plussat: The view from the pool

Miinukset: Breakfast (but this is me)

Plussat: Hieno ranta ja erittäin hieno huone.

Miinukset: Ei ollut mitään kauppaa tai muuta ravintolaa, kun hotellin oma.

Plussat: The staff were very friendly and very helpful.

Plussat: Staff was extremely friendly and accommodating. Stayed in the Beach Villa and it was beautiful. Looking forward to my next visit to El Nido and will definitely be staying at Matinloc.

Plussat: Overall the experience was exceptional. The location is the best part, not only the natural beauty but the way the resort has been carefully constructed to be tucked among and on top of the various limestone peaks on the property. Clearly a lot of thought has been put into integrating the rooms with the local environment: balconies are built around trees, or around large rock formations, so that they pass through the woodwork. I have seen some people complain about the 50 or 100 steps they had to climb to get to their rooms, but we found this was worth it. And there are different kinds of rooms for different tastes and budgets. There's a tree house, several rooms that are right on the beach, and then several rooms perched further up the various cliffsides. We stayed in a large family room overlooking the pier; it was superb. The rooms were spacious, with nice moldings and detailings. The mattress and pillows were among the most comfortable I've ever slept on. The kids slept upstairs in a loft-like second bedroom, which looks over the entryway. A perfect combination of "cosy" and "classy" - my wife said "I wish we lived here" (alas, we live in a standard apartment block). The deck had a jacuzzi on it with an amazing view, and a large limestone rock jutting through the deck providing a natural feel. We could look off the deck and watch the sunrise, or watch the parrot fish swimming below. I'd also like to call out some of the staff as being particularly attentive - Ronald, who was our guide for the "Lagoon" tour, and Adrian, one of the servers in the restaurant. Most of the staff were friendly and welcoming. I'd also say they may give you little "perks" if you stay there for a full week like we did, such as free snacks or drinks. But they were never intrusive. The lagoon tour is worth it, we chose the "full-day-private-speedboat" option.

Miinukset: I've seen some people call out the food. I'd say it's "okay" - good enough, but not really rising to be noteworthy. We tended to fall back on standard fare like the pizzas, which are good. I myself liked the pesto pasta, and the fish of the day (they have grouper and snapper that they keep in baskets off the pier, so they are always fresh). The blended fruit juices are quite nice. The buffet breakfasts are good, with everything you'd expect - an omelet station, choice of cereals, and various hot dishes that change throughout the week. They did a BBQ one evening and it was definitely worth it, the fish was excellent. Apparently the resort is Korean-owned and the chef is Korean and there are Korean menu options, as well as local Filipino cuisine options, but we didn't find these any better than the Western options. I will say that I felt the chef was "attentive", as we gave him some constructive feedback and he gave us some "free samples" of things to try. I haven't stayed in any other high-end resorts in the El Nido area, so I can't say how it compares. We did go by some of the other resorts on our Lagoon Tour, and I think based on location alone the Matinloc is "special." Perhaps the others have better dining, I can't say. Unfortunately when it came to Palawan generally, dining was not the high point.

Plussat: Staff,restaurant,room view

Miinukset: You are able to bring wine beer to the restaurant but not available at the resort

Plussat: the place so peaceful, the staff are friendly, the room is so big

Miinukset: nothing

Plussat: Everything. Dream resort. Best resort I've ever experienced in my life and I've traveled through nearly 30 countries.

Miinukset: This place is perfection

Plussat: Absolutely luxurious

Miinukset: Could not falter in any way

Plussat: The location is amazing !

Miinukset: It is very expensive and breakfast is very average.

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: An outstanding location and surely has to be one of the most beautiful places in the world. The staff were so friendly and accommodating. The food was well presented and fresh. The excursions were fun and diverse. Thank you to everyone at the resort. You all truly helped to make my stay unforgettable.

Plussat: The food was outstanding. Our room was clean and comfortable. Staff was grand.

Miinukset: No complaints

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

Miinukset: Everything ok

Plussat: I love how the personnels are very attentive and easy to talk to. location is amazing, beachfront is swimmable and the bed is soooo comfortable. get the villa if you are a group, u have two sofa bed/single bed that are very comfortable. also, they made us use the pool even after check out, until late afternoon. also their dog Leo. I miss Leo.

Miinukset: boats infront of the resort, makes the water not so clear for el Nido standard.

Plussat: The reception staff was polite and nice. General staff were also polite and courteous.

Miinukset: There were 9 issues that came up in my 4-day stay: 1) Electricity blackout with no back-up power generator working - this happened twice, the first lasted about 8 hours and second about 2 hours. 2) Wifi did not work 3 times throughout my stay. Wifi login and password had to be reset 3 times. Had to work with reception each time to resolve this. 3) Phone did not work 3 times in my stay. I couldn't contact reception and had to walk to reception to settle with the rest of the issues. 4) Hot water did not work for 1 night of my stay. I found out at 10pm and there was no maintenance available at that time so I had to use cold water for shower. 5) Water drainage was slow in the shower, which was fixed after the issue was brought up. I thought they should have fixed this before a guest checks in. Similarly, the floor felt slightly oily when I checked in. 6) Hand towels were not given when I checked into the room. It was given to me after I brought up the issue but for the remaining days, they removed the hand towels and did not replaced. I just lived without it since there were too many issues for me to handle for my holiday 7) Clothes hangers were insufficient. About 6 hangers were given at check in, which was insufficient for me. They gave me more after I asked for it. 8) Drinking water was not topped up daily though it was promised at check in. They topped up only after I asked for it. 9) Shaving kit was not provided. Other than the electricity blackout, the other issues on an individual basis were small. However, given the large number of recurrent issues, it distracted me from my holiday as I had to spend time over multiple instances resolving the issues.

Plussat: Very hospitable staff, beautiful and clean rooms. Amazing view and beachfront

Miinukset: Electricity was out for 5 hours, 10 mins tricycle into town. Food at the restaurant was not that good.

Plussat: I’m just glad that we only stayed one night.

Miinukset: The room was smelly and lots of ants. Air con not working well and I cleaned the filter myself as it was clogged with dust.

Plussat: The staff were so helpful, we had ferry issues and they got on the phone and sorted it out for us. The pool overlooks the beach and is great for sunsets. As the hotel is a little out of the main town they have a tricycle shuttle, they were always there to drop us and pick us up from town if we wanted.

Miinukset: N/A

Plussat: Great views, friendly staff and tasty food.

Miinukset: Some noisy cockerels!

Plussat: The view and room

Miinukset: The breakfast

Plussat: Great breakfast, really helpful staff. The room was nicer than I expected.

Miinukset: Very loud bar next to my room, with loud music blasting through the night.

Plussat: Great position with beautiful views. Bayview has the views and well worth the extra money. Excellent staff with great service

Plussat: Internet communication at time of booking and prior to arrival was good. It was closer to town than we anticipated. The complimentary transport was fantastic and very obliging. View from restaurant and pool was amazing. Buffet breakfasts were excellent. We enjoyed the long happy hour drinks. Gardens were beautiful which added to the relaxing atmosphere. The evening meals we ate at the restaurant were nicely presented and good quality. Excellent access on ramps for partially disabled people.

Miinukset: The bathroom shower door was difficult to move and water leaked out of the shower cubicle onto the bathroom floor. Pot holes on the access road could do with some maintenance but it added to the adventure. The wine selection could be improved. Credit card facilities weren't working for many days so don't rely on being able to pay this way.

Plussat: Lovely staff, food was brilliant

Miinukset: The taxi had to be of a certain size to get down an alley way so quite hard to get back sometimes

Plussat: Very clean comfortable and staff are very friendly and super nice.

Miinukset: None

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: Very clean beautiful resort

Miinukset: Hard to get sometimes because of the tides not everu tricycle wants to drop you off at this hotel

Plussat: Honest pleasant and Friendly staff, excellent food. Spacious rooms , nice pool, nice garden

Miinukset: The only negative thing I can comment is the bumpy unconstructed narrow road leading to the villa. And the fact that we can’t swim at the beach around el Nido.

Plussat: Paradise in Palawan. Loved it here! Beautiful beach, amazing hoping tour and best staff Ding and Cristian made it unforgettable stay. If you are looking for relaxing place to forget rest of the world is perfect for you. Hope to be back soon!

Plussat: Everything ! We were greated upon arrival. Our Beach Hut was amazing with a beautiful sea view. We had 3 floors in our Beach Hut so a lot of space and a sitting area to enjoy the view (much better than the pictures on website). So far the best accommodation we had in the Philippines ! Lots of hammock and long chairs on the beach and good food at the restaurant. The propriety is right on the beach. It's the perfect relaxing place ! Also for lower price, the Camping Huts were looking very nice and were located right on the beach !

Miinukset: Lots of ants in the upper floor of our beach hut on the morning. Wifi pretty much nonexistent. Also the food was good but could be bigger quantities and maybe some more choices in the menu.

Plussat: The beach is amazing and as well as the whole vibe of the place is very chill and relaxed!

Miinukset: The zip on our tent was broken but it was easily fixable. There were a bit of rubbish along the beach but they do clean it up in the morning.

Plussat: The ambiance and the paradise-feel being away from the crowd of Coron. And the Sunrises were all breathtaking! And the dogs were supper friendly..

Miinukset: The breakfast variety can be improved, although they’re also good.

Plussat: Everything! Secluded and chilled.

Plussat: the weather and the simple straw house design

Miinukset: 1. trash on the shore (should be picked up more frequently) 2. distance says El Nido only 20km away however that short road cannot be taken with a scooter. So get prepared it is actually 50 km from El Nido, at least 1h ride

Plussat: Stunning location, really nice hosts, comfortable tents and really clean bathrooms! Absolutely recommended!!

Miinukset: Unfortunately some guests were very loud the whole night and the lights in front of our tent didn't turn off, so we couldn't really enjoy the peaceful Ambiente. Also the food on side is quite expensive and the amount is very small. You should have an own scooter and go to the next town for food and water.

Plussat: The place is perfect for couples on honeymoon or people who want to stay away from humans. You can see the sunrise from your bungalow or tent and hear the waves when you wake up. Super silent and chilled.

Miinukset: We (two guys)rode a scooter from El Nido to Sibaltan (about an hour), eventually tired and thirsty and had a pit stop at the hotel bar. We had a little chat with guests and decided to stay at the hotel. When we asked the receptionist guy if there was room for two, he said "no we are fully booked" without even looking at us. I checked the booking.com and there was eight vacant rooms. When I showed the booking.com, he mumbled something (didn't understand exactly what he meant) and eventually I booked online. We felt somehow we weren't wanted there which was weird(Bad experience). The hotel might be single girls or couples.

Plussat: This resort is for people who wish to spend time away from other tourists in a quiet place close to nature. If you expect very clean rooms and fast wifi, this is not for you. I personally was lookin for that kind of a place, no civilization, quiet, peace, friendly relaxing atmosphere.

Miinukset: All was fine.

Plussat: The massage hut on the beach and full body massage for 350 pesos was the highlight.

Miinukset: The car pickup company nearly killed us. The driver was drunk, drove very rashly and made unnecessarily long stops. Tapik should stop contracting that company.

Plussat: Excellent customer service, quick online responses and great location. They will organise everything for you from trips to transfers and the staff were very friendly.

Miinukset: Very good hotel all saf nice always smel and good to see in the bech

Plussat: The staff very nice and friendly, they help us a lot.

Plussat: The breakfast is very good and the view from the restaurant to the bay is very nice. The staff is friendly

Miinukset: Upon check in and arriving at the room, we realized that our room had very large cockroaches. The staff tried to kill the bugs and gave us a bug spray for the night and cleaned the room the next day

Plussat: Staff are helpful

Miinukset: The first day we didn’t have water in our bathroom. The drains in the toilet smells the whole time.

Plussat: Excellent staff. Honestly soo helpful and always so happy.

Plussat: Staff were friendly. Location is very good and accessible to stores and restos. Will come back for sure!

Plussat: Location, price, friendly stuff.

Plussat: What I like the most in this hotel is that the staff are very accommodating to the point wherein they would arrange everything for you especially the tours. The food and the room are superb!!!

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: Very nice view really you will loved, nice location, breakfast was good , The staff are great and serve you well

Miinukset: 1. Mattresses was not comfortable 2. Bathroom needs maintenance

Plussat: Very clean and The staff is extremely helpful, help us to carry the heavy luggage and help us to contact local restaurant and tour centre, thank you so much

Miinukset: Too tired to back to the room

Plussat: lovely

Miinukset: nothing

Plussat: Great view, good breakfast

Miinukset: Very very noisy location. If there is no wind, you hear any motorbike in El Nido, you can "enjoy" every night karaoke concert in the school stadium. The huge limestone cliff works as a giant sound reflector. The design of houses is very poor, there is no sound insulation at all, when neighbors watch TV, it sounds like they sit in your room. They false advertise car parking on premises, they don't have parking at all. Once they gave us molded pillowcases.

Plussat: It was value for money

Miinukset: The steps to get up to the property were ridiculous, not safe at all. There was benches right outside our room which people sat on all night and spoke really loudly which was disturbing. It was further away from the town that what was stated. The WIFI did not work in the room.

Plussat: Excellent location, very friendly staff and room were always clean

Miinukset: Nothing...all our choices was provided

Plussat: The place was so great especially the view. The breakfast was so good. The staff was very kind and accomodating especially the owner we had nice conversation with him and I was amazed and inspired in his story I did'nt got the chance to know his name. If given another chance to go back to El Nido I will definitely stay again to this place.

Plussat: Clean and the staff were friendly and informative

Miinukset: Na

Plussat: Good breakfast with filtered coffee (included). Good hot showers. Comfy room with nice views. 5 minute motorbike to downtown. Maybe 10-15 by foot? Surprisingly quiet in the room even though nearish a main road. Nice to wake up to the view every morning. Easy to find the hotel.

Miinukset: Lots of stairs (didn't bother me) may be a problem if you have heaps of luggage. Unfriendly dogs in a house at the entrance (not the hotel dogs they are super cute and friendly).

Plussat: The rooms are clean but so tiring to get there

Miinukset: The stairs

Plussat: I like the location for it required a daily physical exercise.

Miinukset: El Nido Viewdeck Cottages is located near the seas. It is expected that sea foods will be served for breakfast. Frustratingly, there was none. It was only on the day we checked out that dried fish was available.

Plussat: The staff is super friendly and they clean rooms every day. There are lots of places to eat, travel agencies, convenience stores and a few bike rentals nearby. You can rent beach towels at low cost from the property. The property also arranged the van from Puerto Princesa at 500 pesos per person.

Miinukset: The noise from the street is quite heavy, which is not the fault of the property, but try to ask for a room facing the backyard.

Plussat: The staff were very helpful and friendly.

Miinukset: Had a very good stay. Janet and Glen and their staff were very helpful and accommodating. Janet worked miracles to secure our tickets for the ferry to Coron!! Thank you very much

Plussat: The location was great!! The beach was just across the street, where they have the most beautiful sunsets! It is just enough from the city center to avoid the crowds and near enough you can walk there.

Miinukset: We had some problems with water but they fixed it in minutes. The wifi conection was bad.

Plussat: The staff were absolitely incredible, so helpful and friendly and helped us to book lots of things and gave great recommendations.

Miinukset: The whole Island is quite expensive for accommodation so everywhere felt overpriced compared to other areas of the Philippines.

Plussat: This property is located between El Nido town and Las Cabanas so 100 pesos(€2) each way via Trolly . This property offers both an air con unit and a huge fan , perfect strong WiFi & they have generator backup - your room is cleaned daily and towels changed .The staff were so helpful and friendly Shiela and Belly arranged both our Day Tours A&C and also our forward transportation. Shiela advised us to visit Las Cabanas beach for sunset swim and it was lovely and also Belly assisted us with medical city location and transportation. Both were so friendly and couldn’t do enough for us.Best value for money property we have visited to date on our vacation.

Miinukset: There is nothing I could recommend -we had room 1 with a balcony on the road so some noise but at night no issues sleeping.

Plussat: Staff was friendly. Location was great - just down the beach from beautiful sunsets and restaurants.

Miinukset: Price was high for what it was. Room was fine, but shabby and my bed had grit in it from the previous occupants. Wifi was spotty, had cold showers for two days.

Plussat: Great location ( near the beach, restaurants, and tours agencies)

Miinukset: I stayed there for few nights and I had to ask for the basics every time that I needed ( they did not replaced the toilet paper or soap)

Plussat: Very clean! Air conditioner was perfect after a long day out in the sun!

Miinukset: Needs a mini fridge to keep waters cold!

Plussat: Specious room, comfy beds. Bedsheets replaced a few times per stay as well as towels. Location good - walking distance to the beach and marina.

Miinukset: Noise coming from the street - mostly because of driving scooters/three cycles. Windows are not tight enough. Request the room from the other side. No hot water under the shower.

Plussat: Wonderful and helpful staff! Good location close to Corong Corong beach. Nice pizza across the road. Free coffee&tea. Powerful A/c. Thank you, guys! See you again!

Miinukset: Would be great to have a light breakfast-).

Plussat: It's very clean which is very complicated to find in the Philippines's! The staff is super nice! Thanks for everything

Miinukset: N/A

Miinukset: far from the city

Plussat: The nice view and location

Miinukset: Hot water system no good

Plussat: Walking distance to the beach.

Miinukset: Too far from town, my tv didn’t work and they had to change tv late at night, the bidet was leaking, buffet breakfast was mediocre, construction going on.

Plussat: The staff is so kind and helpful. The place is gorgeous with an INCREDIBLE view and only a 15 min tricycle ride (PHP150) from the town proper. It is right next to Corong Corong beach so you pretty much have a private beachfront 2 mins from your room (I found the Corong Corong much nicer than the main beach in town). Breakfast is great. All in all, I would love to stay here again!

Miinukset: There are a lot of stairs to get up to the room. It was fine for young folks like us but older guests might have trouble climbing up the stairs.

Plussat: Friendly staff

Miinukset: Wifi only works outside the rooms (and not all the time)

Plussat: It was a 5h journey from Puerto Princesa airport, and hotel staff were helpful to help us reserve a slot. They were very efficient in replying any queries and were willing to help in anyway possible. Location of the hotel was good, one of the better hotels around the area too! Cleanliness was fantastic, food was fabulous too if you’re willing to spend and enjoy! They also gave us information on the tours before the trip, which was a nice gesture and helpful info! Thumbs up :)

Plussat: The staffs were so kind.the room was satisfying and the views from the hotel every morning was amazing.

Miinukset: A little bit far from the town but we managed.

Plussat: The view was absolutely gorgeous. It was a treat to draw back the curtains and look out the window in morning. The hotel is located right outside of El Nido proper, so it was a lot quieter and had a more relaxing vibe. It is located right across the street from the beautiful beach. The staff were so friendly, thoughtful, and accommodating. We had some last minute tour requests, and they were able to make the necessary arrangements for us for the next morning. They even had motorcycles that you could rent for 700 php for a whole day. That was a fun and quick way to get around. Our last morning, we had to check out early in the morning to catch our flight, so they even packed us sandwiches for breakfast on the road. The food at the restaurant was delicious and clean. The rooms were pretty and well-kept.

Miinukset: The power cuts off from 10am-3pm. This didn't turn out to be too big of a problem because we were usually out during that time. There is no wifi in the rooms, and it is spotty in the common areas, so expect an unplugged stay. (Also not a problem because there are so many other things to do and enjoy). Lastly, if you are afraid of bugs, be prepared to share the room with little critters like insects and lizards. They didn't really bother us, but as city kids it took some getting used to.

Plussat: Airconditioning worked well.

Miinukset: The shower was a bit dirty and unfortunately no wifi avalable in the rooms. Only near the reception. We didn't appreciate the dogs in the restaurant.

Plussat: Excellent view from the pool overlooking the islands and cliff face. A great location only 10min walk from beach. Room was clean and breakfast was good. Would stay again.

Plussat: Nice location located near vanilla beach with overlooking view of the ocean on the other side and forest view too. Staff very accommodating and very nice/friendly. This place is truly recommended to all.

Miinukset: First thing during the arrival from the airport, van transfer is 20mins late. If you have a bad knee? I guess it’s a no coz they have a really long stairs lol. Food is good but not alcohol or mixed drinks.

Plussat: Met the owner. Staff as great Owner gave me a Free Dinner and Bottle of wine for my Birthday

Miinukset: The Stairs

Plussat: Location's great. Lots of restaurants and convenience stores outside. Staff are always willing to help with any of your concerns. Their all-day breakfast food is also delicious.

Miinukset: The beds aren't that comfortable. Toilet's not that clean as well.

Plussat: Everything Mom makes excellent coffee

Miinukset: No wifi

Plussat: The staff are very friendly and accommodating

Miinukset: The place is relaxing and have a nice view.

Plussat: Staff are welcoming and approachable. Location is perfect near to the town but peaceful and quiet. The rate is cheap.

Miinukset: The serving of the breakfast is too small.

Plussat: Landscape

Miinukset: Brown out during night

Plussat: The view

Miinukset: Lock of amenities, daily needs... specially food .... even need to pay for hot water... in website breakfast was included... free WiFi but not in the room , need to stay outside under sunlight to have the free WiFi... not comfortable at all..

Plussat: Price is cheap but sure one can get much better facilities for the same price. Staffs are friendly and helpful. Location is good just few minutes walk from beach front and restaurants. They also offer tours and land transfers.

Miinukset: Bedsheets are old, ripped and faded. Also itchy so we have to ask for new sheets. Pillows were uncomfortable. Stayed for 3 nights but the rubbish bin was never emptied and no room service- room was never cleaned.

Plussat: Welcoming and warm staff from the moment we arrived—late at night. Maria, the front clerk is hospitable, pleasant and eager to help. She has a great deal of information about the area and will help guide you. Maria Teresa, she was a server and kitchen help. She was very pleasant and always providing our needs—there were 7 of us total. The hotel is nestled in the side of a mountain, amongst the beautiful, lush foliage and dare I say, jungle? Breakfast every morning was top notch, hot and so yummy. There were several families there with small children and they seemed to do fine. We had a trike driver just outside the hotel—Joel. He stuck with us the entire week and hooked us up with great prices on tours. Definitely ask for Joel—he’s been there a long time and knows everyone. We WILL return to Novies and stay there again. This was a great surprise for us as we met others that stayed in hostels and all we heard were stories that were not the greatest.

Plussat: We decided to stay by Corong Corong Beach, the accommodation was a minute away from the beach as well as all the restaurants and bars which was perfect! If we needed to go into town, there were plenty of tricycles outside to choose from. The room was nestled at the back of the property surrounded by nature with a lovely view of the mountains, AC was good and the bathroom was alright. Staff was lovely here too!

Miinukset: We had breakfast a few times but some of the items weren't available which made ordering food a tad annoying.

Plussat: The staff helped me set up a surprise for my friend’s birthday! Really great people accommodating all questions for best places to go. The seaview room is nice!

Plussat: The view from our room is very relaxing just what we needed and for sure most of the travelers would love to see that kind of view. I heard there will he some changes next year, we hope that the beach front view room w/ loft will not be change coz it’s very good and relaxing :) worth the pay

Miinukset: The dogs are everywhere, some of my companion has allergy to dogs.

Plussat: Location, private beach, atmosphere

Miinukset: Staff is not trained!!! Fish carpaccio is frozen! No hot water and wifi is so bad and slow!

Plussat: The staff are super friendly. The manager Kat is very nice, my husband celebrated his birthday there and they made extra effort to make it super especial day for him. We went island hopping on my husband birthday and they prepared a feast for our food and made happy birthday carving on the fruits and the boat crew sang my husband a happy birthday. When we got back at the resort and the end of the day, the dining staff came to our room and sang my husband happy birthday and bring us fruit flatter and cake with candle. Retchel she’s the assistant manager is very nice as well and John from the dining the house keeping is very accommodating as well, I forgot the name of the staff that takes care our room every day but he is nice and accommodating. The whole staff at El Nido cove is nice and friendly and very accommodating.

Miinukset: There is no extra amenities. No fridge no tissues, no bath towel,no wash cloths.

Plussat: Breakfast location with beach view and quiet.

Miinukset: Facility is old and has a musty smell in the room in was booked in

Plussat: Amazing and breathtaking views. The beach front loft was spacious and always clean. The staff on site were absolutely amazing and made the trip very memorable.

Miinukset: Bathrooms were a little outdated.

Plussat: There was a free shuttle to nearby Lio Beach. The hotel itself was quiet and peaceful.

Miinukset: This room was not a good value considering the price point and amenities provided. The rooms were much darker than what I expected from looking at the website. The hotel was quite far out from the city center. The internet was VERY slow and staff had a hard time helping us to secure a room for the following night. I would recommend staying instead at one of the hotels on Lio Beach (where we transferred to). The hotels there are nicer, cheaper and provide a free shuttle every hour into town.

Plussat: The view inside the location is amazing, food ok and the price very fair.

Miinukset: The beach is not the best ..

Plussat: The views from the property and the pool/beach are great. The staff is very friendly.

Miinukset: This place needs a serious review by management. At $170 USD/night, I was expecting a LOT more. Aside from the pool, beach and views...I would never recommend this place. I understand this is an island and expect the occasional bugs/lizards, but our room was crawling with insects. I brought a pizza home and placed it on our table in our room, within 15 minutes it was completely covered in ants. The toilet/sink were stained a dark color from the water. When we first got to the room, I actually thought someone had urinated in the bathroom and not flushed the toilet because of the discolored water. Not pleasant. There was visible mold throughout the bathroom and all throughout the shower door fix Located 20+ minutes from the restaurants in town, the resort should have appropriate food options for those who don't wish to go into town for every meal. For 3 out of 4 of our days here, the majority of the menu was unavailable. How can there be no fresh fish on an island resort? The resort also ran out of bottled water twice during our stay. One day I asked for a grilled cheese sandwich, after waiting 45 minutes I was given two pieces of uncooked bread and cheese and tomato slices. Nothing heated/grilled. My room was cleaned and no fresh towels were provided. I had to wait 2 hours for clean towels to be delivered to the room so we could shower. While the staff was very pleasant throughout our stay, it was an extremely poor experience and I'd like my stay to be reviewed by management as I believe this feedback is echoed by MANY of the guests I interacted with over the course of our stay.

Plussat: Amazing view from room, sitting area and the massage was out standing

Miinukset: Nothing so precise
