El Nido Lomakeskukset

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: Very attentive staff - couldn't do enough for you. The rooms had superb views, the bar and beach areas are very well set out. It was very well catered for the entire trip.

Miinukset: Beware of the timings for the boat back from the town - quite restrictive if you had ideas of an evening in El Nido town.

Miinukset: Bad experience Very expensive, but without high-quality, unfriendly guests, no service and guarantee

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: 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: 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: Villa was fantastic. Big, nicely decorated with enormous bathroom. View from the Beach villa was amazing. Very few guests everywhere, felt like you had an Island by yourself.

Miinukset: The food was not top of the line. Quite a lot that was out of stock. Also got food poisoned.

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: The view

Miinukset: The gecko sound

Plussat: All. Quality resort and environmental preservation. Snorkeling was fantastic ! Food, kindness of personnel. We loved the place, the facilities and the staff.

Miinukset: Weather ;-) rain and wind but that's life Way to come in via el Nido then near airport then go back to el Nido a bit complicated and long. Why not a regular stop in el Nido and airport ?

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: 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: We have enjoyed the location and surrounding island small places of the resort so much, the view was fantastic, the landscape and all the nature around absolutely beautiful! We had lots of fun there as well by doing different things and activities such as lagoon trip - the most enjoyable and entertaining day of our life and also the landscapes we saw were stunning and ones of the most beautiful places on earth to visit. Our guides were enjoying together with us and other trip crew members along with us by singing, dancing, joking around a lot so this was the very nice thing to remember about the trip.

Miinukset: It’s definitely too expensive for an Asian country, but due to the location which is a private island and also for being the only restaurant/resort on the island, the prices were 4/5 times higher than the rest of the local places where we could eat or use other types of services - this reason is why this was understandable, however prices are up too high and that is not something that tourists expect when they get there for sure. Some of the waiters can’t speak English so well, a bit clumsy sometimes about the requests and we had to explain so much for simple questions. The communication with reception staff was much better of course.

Plussat: Beautiful hotel, perfect staff, excellent service and the rooms are really big and comfort. We had a really nice stay at Mantiloc Hotel. I recommend!

Plussat: Amazing place. Such a beautiful location that really blew our minds when we arrived. It was quiet when we were there due to the virus, but i was so glad we made it. Snorkelling off the reef is amazing (corals are right up there) and it’s nice they let you use kayaks for free.

Miinukset: Only a couple of minor things. The private tours are expensive when you get there (much more than if you go from el nido) - however I’ll admit we didn’t do them because the snorkelling on the reef outside is so good you don’t necessarily need to. Also I heard they were better as fewer people than the mass organised trips. One further thing was that they DO NOT SERVE ALCOHOL! This In itself is fine. However not everyone was aware. Also they took us to a bottle shop before which was pretty expensive. On the way back in El Nido we found another shop half the price (they told us that was the only place we could buy...). Make sure you insist on the cheaper shop. But please don’t let this put you off visiting.

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: The location was perfect. Beautiful (a bit corally though) beach and clean water. The beach villa I stayed in was probably the best choice in the resort.

Miinukset: They didn't serve alcohol, and the food was dull. I mean the food is ok, it's just that there's only one restaurant on the island, and eating 3 meals a day in the same restaurant for 7 days isn't really ideal. They should have extra food you can buy and eat in the room or something. At least they can make all food free and include it in the room charge. This will reduce drastically their complaints about the food. And serve alcohol.

Plussat: First and foremost, very friendly and hospitable staff members. The setting is absolutely stunning, worth the bumpy ride there. Highly recommend the lagoon tour; private if possible. Facilities are top class, and coral reef snorkelling is just at your doorstep- amazing!

Plussat: Friendly and accommodating staff. Good selection of food. The actual amenities (compared to the marketing photos) did not disappoint. Good location. Quiet and relaxing. Definitely worth the price!

Miinukset: Room is serviced every day, however, they do not give as many towels as they collect.

Plussat: Peace, quiet and isolation

Miinukset: Only found out about no alcohol policy after booking however BYO and no corkage is OK. Not a problem for our party but should be highlighted.

Miinukset: The nest was extremely overpriced. You expect high quality experience for what the stay charge is. The restaurant food was very poor and overpriced. The day of our last night the staff forgot to stock toilet paper in our room and we noticed the sheets changed had blood spot stains. Would not recommend to others.

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: The view from the pool is amazing which looks out onto the sea. The pool was very clean and the food from the restaurant was really nice including the cocktails. The bed was comfy and the pillows were very soft. I like how there was guest kit in the bathroom in case you forget any of your toiletries. There was also a mini bar and tea making facilities in the room.

Miinukset: There’s nothing I would fault

Plussat: 1. View of sunset at the beach 2. Buffet breakfast is simple but tasty 3. Staffs are friendly and polite. 4. Complimentary transport by modified tricycle to and from airport/ferry terminal. 5. Complimentary transport by modified tricycle to and from town (Service ends @ 2200). 6. Room is spacious. 7. Hotel restaurant serves delicious food. 8. Near to pick up point island hopping tours. 9. Many washing point to clean your feet before returning back to room (which is lacking in most beach resort).

Miinukset: 1. Located along the beach where it is only accessible by narrow dirt road on motorbike or modified tricycle. 2. It is a 20 minutes walk to town and the path is dark and quiet at night. 3. Although a beach resort, the beach is not swimmable due to shallow sea and rocks. 4. Room toilet is cramp.

Plussat: The staff make it easy from arranging transport, recommendations for tours, airport shuttle and massage by the beach if you like too.

Miinukset: The location is just a bit outside the night life of the city and after the 10pm shuttle there are a few too many wild dogs on the pathway.

Plussat: swimming pool and sunset

Miinukset: location is hard to get to. food at the restaurant is mediocre at the best. the wine we ordered tasted like vinegar. when raised the issue, the waitress apologized and replaced it with another bottle. but during checkout, I was charged for both bottles.

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: The property is great, currently under construction/refurbishment so there is a little building mess around the grounds. But otherwise the rooms are good the view is the best possibly in El nido!

Miinukset: The only fault is the pool was quite “dirty” with many many dead bugs and the washing service was exorbitant at $56 Aud for 25 items! But very superficial.

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: Beds were very comfortable

Miinukset: The floor planks need to be fixed. It was noisy and feels loose.

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

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: Long walk and the stairs are too high.

Miinukset: No system. Poor service

Plussat: Breakfast was okay, close to Vanilla Walk, where McDonald's, Tapa King, Restaurants, Boutiques & Massage Parlors are located.

Miinukset: Mobile network signal around the area is inconsistent but wifi in the hotel is fast.

Plussat: Maisemista.

Miinukset: Iso pettymys! Mikän ei pitännyt paikkansa, hotellin terassit oli sortuneet, merern, työmiehet läheiseltä työmaalta kertoivat että hotelli oli purkulistalla, homeen haju olili aivan uskomattoman voimakas huonessa, luvattin siivota joka päivä, useasti pyydettin mutta koko aikana ei siivottu, aamupala menetteli kuralla joka aamupalan jälkeen. Ruoka alaarvoista. Ei kerrottu tilaessa miten vaikea kulku hotellille oli, olen todella pettynnyt, Nimimerkillä todella paljon maailma nähnyt ja satoja hotelleja aasiassa asunnut ps. Ranta ja maisemat upeat

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: Staying in the older suite over the newer building

Plussat: Great water views from all 4 rooms. Breakfast was decent, but mostly Filipino friendly options and they couldn't replenish food fast enough. Hot water was good in 1 room (other 3 was cold only, never got hot). Surprisingly good thick towels. Friendly beach dogs. Massage on beach and in room available. Available stand up paddle board rentals. Luggage porters were timely and competent, carried very baggage up/down stairs and along with beach with no issues. Waterfront restaurant. Private location if willing to deal with the walk. Lovely bars with friendly staff nearby. Nearby beach is uncrowded. Provided extra early continental breakfast to facilitate early check out to catch a morning flight.

Miinukset: Only 1 of 4 rooms booked had hot water. One room had shower drain flooding issue. One room was very dusty, like the room had been abandoned. Cleaning staff is poorly trained, underpaid, and overworked (14 hours). No option for Do Not Disturb, maids will brazenly move around all your belongings when cleaning. Management is absent and apathetic, Too cheap or lazy to perform simple room/building maintenance like fixing peeling paint, clogged drains, broken AC knobs, missing towel bars, non-functioning water heaters, missing foot wash faucets. Cheap cabinet furniture, with loose worn out doors. Toilet paper and towels randomly missing. Constant drain flies in bathroom and bedroom area. "Native room" means thin woven bamboo walls. Issues with check-in. I had to prove to them that I booked my fourth room and they made claims about not receiving payment. Poor cellular signal in rooms. Lumpy bed, worn pillow cases with lint fuzz. There appears to be hotel WiFi, but staff claims password is unknown. Will only provide password to the WiFi that only works within the lobby. Reception area is often unattended, Ongoing new construction while essentially abandoning the older buildings.

Plussat: The property has a good view of the sea. They also serve delicious foods.

Miinukset: Limited breakfast . Less Discount or rebate for the early payers.

Plussat: The view from the beach was great!

Miinukset: The lady who checked us in was not very pleasant. We had to walk through a building site/scaffold to get to our room, a bit unsafe as there were people working above us as we walked underneath. Room was basic and breakfast was very average.

Plussat: THE VIEW

Miinukset: MOSQUITOES. CLOGGED DRAINAGE. POORLY COOKED BREAKFAST. DIRTY TAP WATER

Miinukset: The shower plumbing was wrong. Hot=cold and cold=hot.

Plussat: Nice location in front of the beach and in a new area which regroups a lot of restaurants and stores (that can be really convenient even if not really "local atmosphere" (there's a MacDonald...)). Area is really secured with guards at the entrance and even on the beach. This area is located at 15mn in "motorbike taxi" of El Nido port so perfect to do island tours.

Miinukset: Our room was really "motel" feel, with one plug in 2 working, WiFi network always disconnecting, yellowish water, really noisy and small BUT if you're here to enjoy the beach and some island tours, it's totally fine for a drop-off.

Miinukset: Smell of moisture and mushrooms , almost in each room, so this hotel doesn't match antialergia creterias!
