10/10 Exceptional

Great location with lot's of charachter and a great staff that made all arrangements for us including tours. The location way down the Strand is what made it special, but also a little ways away from town. Their dedicated Tuk Tuk driver was awesome and easy to schedule, which eliminated that problem...
View from our room!

Other than the place being hard to find, and my room smelling a little moldy … it was a great stay . Very quiet and staff was very accommodating as well as friendly

4/10 Fair

Great View and poor rooms

Rooms are quite cheap, small beds, water in the shower very scarce, no shower gel provided... Very limited choice for the breakfast. On the positive side, amazing view on the sea (but the beach cannot be used at all, due to the tide) 15 minutes walking from the main road, free ride until 7pm otherwise must pay 100PHP
Antonello, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We were a little worried about coming here due to some of the bad reviews that have been left but after visiting I genuinely don't know what the issue was for these guests. Yes it's a little weathered but that's the nature of this kind of environment and the property having zero income/funding for about two years during the pandemic. We didn't see any evidence of bed bugs and no ants were in the room. The owner is a very friendly chap and the staff are always willing to assist when you need something. They also provide a free shuttle service to the town during the day (small surcharge of 150 pesos after 7pm, 900 pesos for an airport transfer). The breakfast did the job for me and they serve food throughout the day and have good variety on the menu, the pizza was wonderful and I was genuinely surprised to see they had their own home made dough in the fridge! Overall for the price I had no issues with this property and recommend anyone booking to go there with an open mind.

2/10 Poor

When we entered our room. I noticed the towels are very old that looks like a cleaning cloth, grouse. The shower head is missing. Has lots of ants even centipede. Room smells so bad. Breakfast not on time. The pool walls looks greenish. It looks like never been clean. The road that goes to this resort is so narrow and bumpy. I am not happy staying here. Its not worth the money I pay. Beware! I will not recommend this resort in El Nido.

2/10 Poor

Where do I begin? Arriving at the “resort” was quite the experience. My girlfriend and I arrive at the El Nido airport and take a motorcycle trike to El Nido. In the town of El Nido the driver tells us he cannot take us all the way to the hotel and to call and they will pick us up. We call and then someone shows up and tells us we have to walk to his trike, we walk through a small alley and onto the beach at high tide and have to take off our shoes and run across the beach area bounded by a wall and terrace while carrying luggage. Upon arrival at the hotel and getting to our room it was quite a disappointment, it smelled, had mold in a corner of the ceiling, this was not a water stain as I verified this by standing on a chair and rubbed some off with my finger. It looks nothing even close to the pictures on Expedia as the Expedia pictures are skillfully taken to avoid anything that looks bad. This place is in need of serious maintenance. On the second day we requested our room to be cleaned which was not done as promised. On the second night the owner stayed up drinking after midnight at the bar all while talking loudly and laughing with complete disregard for guests trying to sleep. Along with this we paid $32 for 2 small bags for laundry service only to get it after asking for the second time the next day at 6 PM, about 34 hours after leaving our clothes. Dirty pool, no water in the jacuzzi, smell of sewer from the shower drain at times. A run down and dirty place.

10/10 Exceptional

The staff was extremely friendly and accommodating. Will definitely stay again.

2/10 Poor

The property needs many updates. Came home from island hopping and water not working. But they corrected it saying it was lime build up. But water softener machines would prevented it. Food was horrible at the hotel. Old steps going to the room. No elevator. No refrigerator or phone in room. The door to the room stopped working and had to be repaired during my stay.

El Nido vacation.

We have a good time in this resort. Friendly staff. Good customer service. Good food from the restaurant with reasonable prices.

10/10 Exceptional

I had read alot of reviews which almost pursued me not to stay here. Yet I tried anyways and Im so happy I did. Although it is dated its a gem of a place. The rooms were very clean, the pool was great and not to mention the views are phenomenal. As far as transport: they def provide transport to the main square. For a small fee they will drop you at your request a bit further. The staff was lovely and very accommodating. Its close to some amazing food spots. Mine was Fuego for the burger and chicken eaters For the athletic there is a gym in the town square. This was a birthday stay and it was an amazing one.

Super friendly staff. Gorgeous view. It’s a bit run down, but for the price it’s really good. A little far from the Main Street, but they offer free rides in and out which add everything very accessible and easy. Would definitely recommend

Property could use some updating but, for the price and location, we were satisfied and would recommend. We also found staff very helpful and accomodating.

Très mauvais rapport qualité / Prix

Bcp trop cher ! Malgré la gentillesse du personnel Cet hôtel vaut 40 euro max 50 si vous êtes généreux mais à 110 c est du vol Points positifs : grande chambre belle vue personnel gentil Points négatifs : emplacement pas pratique éloigné du centre, hôtel en décrépitude totale, piscine eau trouble, pire petit déjeuner Très mauvais rapport qualité / prix

2/10 Poor

I had one of the worst experiences in this property mainly because of the horrible customer service. Big waste of time and money. Avoid booking this place at all costs !

10/10 Exceptional

So - I remember booking this reservation mainly because of the property being right on the water and the beautiful pool & hot tub. Man, did it not disappoint!! Especially rm 202, I would soo book that room or ocean front - anytime, because...WOW!! The view as soon as you open the curtains, was breathtaking and I NEVER got tired of the View! The STAFF were soooo Friendly, Informative, Accommodating and just great! They picked us up and even helped me find a parking lot for the Car Rental. (Which is great to have but parking is tough). Great Meals and Breakfast's, and I'm usually not a breakfast person but in Paradise, vacation and the energy of the area, made me want to wake up and start my day early and to have options for Breakfast was Awesome! My gf and I had a great time! Only Suggestion - Making it more able to get to and from the downtown area as the walk to and from can be a bit much after a tiring day of tours and heat and at night. It wasn't bad, about 10 min walk to and from. Yes, most people rent a Motor bike and can go to and from faster, which i would suggest and probably also get next time..but having 2 vehicle rentals was a bit much. But for pickup and drop off with luggage, the staff was VERY accommodating! Overall: I loved it! Beautiful spot, quiet - peaceful but also had just what we needed and beautiful rooms. Definitely book them again!

Not recommended, there is not roadway access to this property and upon arrival it was not clean, old old towels, single vanity set with a bar of soap. Definitely can find other arrangements better suited. Cleanliness is not great here.
Sarah, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The views were incredible the staff was outstanding especially Ulli who has the smile of an angel. The rooms were priced very reasonable. The room I had was without a view on the lower level and could use a little updating but it was only used for sleeping so no big deal. The owner is very protective of his guest, by this I mean I had a pickup scheduled and somehow or another there was a delay. The owner drove down to the pickup location on his motorbike and made sure I was taken care of. That was service over and above.

I stayed here for 5 days and had a great time. They have free transportation to town or tours. Right on a very nice quiet clean beach. If you are a foodie you can walk to Carly for an incredible meal as well. Thanks Ulle!
