Hotele: El Nido

Plusy: 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.

Minusy: 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.

Plusy: Najlepsz nasz hotel na Filipinach. Warto odpocząć w nim przynajmniej 2, 3 noclegi w przepięknej scenerii.

Plusy: 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!

Plusy: 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.

Minusy: 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.

Plusy: 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.

Plusy: Such an amazing place. Staff soooooo nice, professional, welcoming. Made it a please to stay there.

Plusy: 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!

Plusy: 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!

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

Plusy: Peace, quiet and isolation

Minusy: 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.

Plusy: Great Location Staff takes care of you in any way possible (solve every problem, activity manager to plan your stay, they even bring you bedtime stories) Cleanliness Environmental friendly

Minusy: Food can be improved

Plusy: Benji was the best employee by far and definitely deserves a raise! Unfortunately his only job seems to be greeting you taking you to your destination. The food was generally okay (drinks are expensive) that being said sunny side up eggs and room service meals were a step too far for the chef while we visited. Me and a friend choose this hotel to relax for a few nights after a 14 day trip with a larger group. We were relaxed by and in ore of the surroundings, which are extremely beautiful. The tours are included, unfortunately we were not informed fishing was available as that is something we would have definitely been up for. (It is in the book in your room, bear in mind it’s 30 degrees so easily missed if you don’t know) When you arrive you are warmly greeted (with a song) to then be told of the sustainability and environmental efforts being undertaken, which is good, but you could also be better informed of things to stop you going out of your mind.

Minusy: We visited during the corona scares so I expect it was quieter than usual, that being said it is without doubt the most quiet place I have ever been to, with not a lot going on except the tours which are overcrowded tourist spots. It is a 100% couples a couples retreat, I’m not sure what age up to as some of the heat and activities may be harder for 55+ especially the hike over the island which was by far our favourite part. Whilst there we got to see a huge monitor lizard & monkeys (it is properly hot and humid so be prepared if you are older or unfit) Also it could do with a tidy that side of the island as there is rubbish everywhere and they are apparently keen on that sort of thing. It did it’s job, we got refreshed, just felt a little like I was marooned on an island with not a lot going on and handed a big bill at the end, which could have been avoided if we had chosen somewhere with better routes in/out of mainland.

Plusy: I love everything in this resort. the staff are all lovely and attentive with all your needs. the boat tour guides are exellent. The food are all tasty and fresh everyday. I want to thank to John Sanders and to the chef Carlos they make our short stay amazingly beautiful and Ron who look after me when I'm not feeling well he make sure I have my lugaw and also to the lady doctor thank you for making me feel safe.

Plusy: Staff was really awesome. They all made us feel welcome and very special.

Plusy: the lake in the middle is nice

Minusy: no wifi on our room.

Plusy: All islands tours were nice with very good prices and the snorkeling at miniloc island that they get us with a tour was incredible!!!also we saw monkeys around the resort and it was amazing. I really enjoyed the massage with a girl named Jane my husband also enjoyed the foot massage with another girl. Jane was really professional!!

Minusy: The only thing was that you can’t swim just in front of the hotel however you can go cayak (free from the hotel )for not more than 15 minutes to the nearest small but really nice beach

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

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

Plusy: 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!

Minusy: 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.

Plusy: Room and staff

Minusy: No beach for swimming

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

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

Plusy: Good location. Clean and comfortable rooms.

Minusy: The breakfast so poor

Plusy: Beds were very comfortable

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

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

Plusy: 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

Minusy: Birds were very loud in the early morning.

Plusy: Convenient location on the same island as some “must see” attractions in El Nido area like Big and Small Lagoons so seeing them is easy and included in the list of free activities. Recent renovations have resulted in modern, clean and comfortable rooms and a beautiful medium-size swimming pool. Young staff is generally enthusiastic, smiling and polite. Three meals a day and transportation from and to the airport are included for all. Free welcome bottle of wine is a nice touch. The resort has a nice, informal vibe. Many guests arrive in larger groups celebrating anniversaries and other events with extended, often multigenerational families. This is a place for amateurs of swimming, boating, kayaking, snorkeling.and other water activities. The surrounding scenery of rocky islands everywhere is unique and breathtaking. Book activities early and bring a water-proof camera.

Minusy: One element for possible criticism is food. On one hand you definitely won’t get hungry as the selection of dishes is decent and changes every day. On the other hand, few items appear exciting, well seasoned and of high quality considering the generally high standard (and cost) of the resort. Morning coffee is average at best, croissants can be old and Western-style cold cuts are sparse. At meal times guests seem to be going in circles around the buffet counters trying to find something interesting. Even some Filipino guests we spoke to echoed these sentiments regarding the selection of their national dishes. Overall this is admittedly nit picking and it will not ruin your stay.

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

Plusy: The staff, the location was remote, peaceful family friendly it was wonderful.

Minusy: Typhoon warning held back a lot of the activities. Out of the hotel control

Plusy: 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.

Minusy: 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.

Plusy: Most memorable time from my trip to the Philippines. Right from the reception you receive upon arrival, to the day you leave, it’s top class and thoroughly recommend.

Plusy: Location is particularly amazing. Landscape integrated Architecture is good. Service and management smart non-intrusive and flexible. Guides are aware and very kind.

Minusy: No other dining proposal than buffet.

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

Plusy: 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.

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

Minusy: 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.

Plusy: 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.

Minusy: There’s nothing I would fault

Plusy: 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).

Minusy: 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.

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

Minusy: 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.

Plusy: Świetne wyposażenie pokojów, piękne otoczenie, dobrze działający internet w pokojach, łatwość zamawiania wycieczek na miejscu.

Minusy: Niemiłą niespodzianką było to, że do cen podanych w Booking.com hotel doliczył VAT, co zdarzyło nam się po raz pierwszy.

Plusy: swimming pool and sunset

Minusy: 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.

Plusy: bed is extra comfy

Minusy: we like everything

Plusy: 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!

Minusy: 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.

Plusy: Great location, very helpful staff, amazing view from the restaurant

Minusy: Quite a fitness activity to get to the restaurant :)

Plusy: The staff are very friendly, efficient, and fast with their services. It's very near (literally just across the street) to Vanilla beach where you can watch the best sunset in El Nido (or you could watch it on the hotel's restaurant located at the top of the premises)

Minusy: The steps leading to the rooms are so long. I traveled with an elder woman and a small child so it was an effort to go up and down. Otherwise it was a very very good experience.

Plusy: 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.

Minusy: 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.

Plusy: The hotel view from the top most part is splendid..breath taking scenery you want to sit there and relax..

Minusy: The first thing i checked was the toilet and I was not happy about it....

Plusy: Suite room with view

Minusy: Construction work Ants in room Shower wasn’t good

Plusy: We loved the location itself as it was close to El Nido Town Proper and just 5 mins away from the longest Zipline in El Nido. The staff was also friendly and very helpful. The buffet for breakfast was delicious. We availed their dinner candlelit for two and it was worth every single penny. The view was picturesque and the food was more than what we expected. In overall, the place was superb and we will surely come back for our third time!!!

Minusy: There is nothing that we didnt like. Everything was amazing especially the trek to go to the room.

Plusy: Location was great

Minusy: We ordered a van from the hotel to Port Barton at 1 pm. We waited for the van until 2 pm when it turned out they forgot to pick us ,so the hotel put us on a shuttle to Puerto Princesa (without letting us know) and told us to pay for another van to Port Barton. Of course we didnt agree for that but the hotel didn’t seem to care at all!

Plusy: It was clean and the staff were friendly

Minusy: You can hear the traffic all night long. It’s so loud it’s as if your on the street. Wouldn’t recommend if your a medium to light sleeper. The bathroom tap fell off while using it, seemed like it had been broken for a while, there were quite a few mosquitos in the room when we got there.

Plusy: We stayed at Ipil Suites for 3 nights and everything was average, it met our expectations. Nice breakfast, Filipino style. The air con was working perfectly, which made our night sleeps very comfortable and they offer water on every floor.

Minusy: Reception not very friendly or helpful, unfortunately we found a cockroach in the bathroom (which is the biggest of deal for my wife) and the WiFi connection Was very poor. They didn’t provide bath foot towel, so we used the hand towel instead and hoped they would understand the message, but when we came back to the room, they had actually putted the dirty towel back in the hanger for us to use again. Very disappointed.

Plusy: Great location.

Minusy: breakfast, facilities, just so so.

Plusy: Location. Friendly staff.

Minusy: Water pressure in shower very low. Breakfast only served till 9am. Never stayed in a hotel were they stop the breakfast that early....

Plusy: Very friendly staff. I had to change my travel date and after contacting the hotel they cancelled my non-refundable booking free or charge so I could make new booking with them on other dates. Location is perfect.

Minusy: Breakfast offered only till 9am.

Minusy: Hot water issues

Plusy: Good location

Minusy: Very old property, rough bed, torn curtains, small room. I was on the 4th floor (last) so pigeons sounds were noticeable from the roof. Spiders on the wall, noisy street, the bathroom is very old, the towel racks are half falling.

Plusy: Cotagges, food and beach are okay. Nice and quiet beach. Would recommend for a 1-2 days stay. Having dinner at sunset there was quite amazing. :)

Plusy: The dive centre and cafe next door. Stay there not Tapik Beach Park.

Minusy: This is only the second negative review I have ever written but feel I need to let other travellers know. We are not after luxury or even hot showers but Tapik Beach park is just grim. It is a trek from El Nido not worth doing unless you are going to the dive centre next door. The accommodation is well passed its best. The bedding was stained and dirty, the showers just drip and the staff are slow and unwelcoming. Avoid.

Plusy: Total nomad adventure. Very far from the city and it takes one hour and thirty minutes ride on a trike. Common baths and toilet, we thought it was a hotel but we can’t go back to the city as the trike left already. We slept in a tent, a disaster ! Didn’t like at all

Plusy: I miss those hammock so much, i could have spent my life in one of those! The location is incredible, the skies are so beautiful at night. The beach is not for swimming, but perfect for chilling and walks, and its the perfect location also for tours that are outside of the touristy A/B/C/D options. The property, environment was just so chill. We loved also having our own bungalow which would have so much potential if they were only better maintained! The view from the bed when you wake up is exactly what you want to see: palm trees and the sea.

Minusy: Food was not the best, they never had half of the ingredients of the menu, especially fish, or some fruits. But the guesthouse right next door, Ursula, had a nice little restaurant with nice dishes! A big downside of the experience was that I did not feel safe, and even though our private bungalow had a lock on it, i was afraid to leave any valuables out of sight. I was hoping I was just being paranoid, but then i witnessed three staff members walking up in broad day light to one of the tents whose owner was out kitesurfing and opening the tent and reaching in. They even saw me looking at them and they just giggled and walked away. I told the owner of the tent, and she checked, luckily they did not take anything, but this is absolutely unacceptable. I was very sad that this happened and it felt like the staff did not even care about how unacceptable was what they had done. Hopefully the owners will ensure that this never ever happens to any of the guest again. One more issue was that although the bungalow we stayed in was so great, the layout the location, full of potential. Unfortunately it was not well maintained. The bamboo walls had plenty of holes in it. One night we woke up to a little mouse running around from one exit hole to another, right around our heads. The whole has been taped off with duct tape before but clearly thats not enough to stop rodents for longer than an hour. The mosquito net was full of holes too, which would be such an eeasy fix!!

Plusy: It is very secluded and really nice if you want some piece and quiet. Especially in contradicition to El Nido which is extremely touristic and so polluted you cant even swim in the sea. Thats not the case in sibaltan! We had the tent in hut, and it was exactly as stated, amenities were fine. The staff is fun and easy-going.

Minusy: It was quite a hassle to get there. I told them when i would arrive in El Nido, however the shuttle had left half an hour before my arrival. When i asked when the next one would go they shared with me it would be in 6 hours. I did not except it and after some discussiom they offered me to go by scooter, which was very nice and a nice friendly gesture from the person at one hostel.

Plusy: relaxing place.. away from the city

Minusy: nothing

Plusy: Great location and the tour was excellent

Minusy: Very basic food and drink. Also we’re out of stock of a lot of drinks/ food

Plusy: The staff were very nice and sorted things quickly

Minusy: Some of the toilets didn't work.

Plusy: Płakałem jak wyjeżdżałem

Plusy: The place is beautiful and is good for a few days

Minusy: We stayed in a tent and the zip didn't work.

Plusy: Śniadania Ok, ciekawie organizowane wieczorki, możliwość wykupu wycieczek.

Plusy: Świetna miejscówka nie tylko dla młodych, byłam zdziwiona poziomem, wyglądem obiektu. Pokoje czyste, codziennie sprzątane, łóżka piętrowe - dość szerokie, wygląd obiektu zgodny ze zdjęciami. Czułam się tam jak w domu. Śniadania w formie szwedzkiego stołu, smaczne i pożywne, personel na medal. Codziennie organizowane są dla gości jakieś imprezy na patio, muzyka na żywo, gry, oglądanie filmów. Jeśli kiedyś będę w El-Nido na pewno wrócę do Spin :)

Minusy: Miałam górne łóżko i przez okienko wpadało światło z korytarza, które świeciło się całą noc.

Plusy: The staff was super kind and was very, very helpful! We stayed in a 4 persons dorm and had shared bathrooms which were surprisingly clean. It’s really worth the money.

Plusy: My 2nd time stay at this hostel, i like the breakfast they serve, the environment, spacious room

Minusy: If u check closely to the floor&cabinet it is not to clean, abit dusty esp on the top of cabinet

Plusy: Really good atmosphere. A lot of comum areas that make you feel comfortable. Breakfast was really good and there’s a bar in the property with has a different entertainment every night (local dance, beer pong contest, etc). The staff is really helpful.

Minusy: Since it’s always full, the toilets are not the cleanest all the time, but they try their best. I felt like there could be more toilets/showers for everyone - it was likely to be queued. It’s not really central- but just about 5-10 min walk to the center.

Plusy: I have so many nice things to say about this place, most importantly the manager and the staff were absolutely incredible. So kind and helpful during a stressful situation. They made our stay SO comfortable. The rooms & facilities are far better than any hostel I have ever stayed in & the communal spaces are amazing. I will stay here again when I return to El Nido, thank you!

Minusy: Nothing.

Plusy: Everything was perfect, big bed, great breakfast the luxury of a hotel in a hostel, you can book tours from the hostel

Minusy: Nothing

Plusy: My room was clean and adequate. The facilities were great, they have a bar that has different events each night i.e. margarita night, cultural night, beer pong night etc. The staff was the friendliest I've met in 7 weeks traveling Asia. Special shoutout to Anna May, who was great. Gelou and Mel were also very helpful and friendly throughout my visit. El Nido is small enought that although Spin is a few blocks from the beach, it's well worth it for the facilities and staff.

Plusy: 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.

Plusy: 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.

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

Plusy: 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.

Minusy: 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.

Plusy: 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.

Plusy: Everything

Minusy: 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.

Plusy: The view

Minusy: The gecko sound

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

Minusy: 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 ?

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

Minusy: 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.

Minusy: After leaving a very valuable item behind, the property have been uncontactable after admitting they found our item. very poor service and we are guttered.

Plusy: Perfectly acceptable pit stop before moving to the resorts.

Minusy: Little noisy... but all hotels are in el nido.

Plusy: Czysto, nowocześnie, dobrze wyposażony

Minusy: Blisko hałaśliwej ulicy, niestety nawet w nocy hałasy nie słabną

Plusy: Good place to stay for a couple of nights

Minusy: Becouse of the windows that are not good sealed the noise in the room is terible. The hotel is located on a main road where its a lot of traffic.

Plusy: Nothing is special to say!! Perhaps the bed is ok.

Minusy: - the location is in the more crowded road, too many noise all the time. - a lot of mosquitos - each room is so small - the steps of the stairs and the bathtubs are of one meter. The staff don’t tal I’m English so well

Plusy: The place is clean

Minusy: The breakfast is poor and the coffee very bad. It is very noisy the hotel being without soundproofing, like mostly hotels in Philippines.

Plusy: It was one of the best places we stayed in Philippines. Very clean. 10 min walk from the beach. Good WiFi.

Minusy: The street in front is very loud. And the fact that breakfast is served in front of each rooms makes it difficult to sleep in the morning as those who get up earlier can be heard in the rooms. Breakfast could include slightly bigger portions of butter and jam as 2 portions were not even big enough for one person.
