Hotele: El Nido

Plusy: 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.

Minusy: 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.

Plusy: 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

Minusy: 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.

Plusy: 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!

Minusy: 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.

Plusy: 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.

Minusy: 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.

Plusy: Magic scenery, great food, nice activities

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

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: Perfect! Nothing to say!!

Plusy: The available activities around the island

Minusy: The number of tourists. There's a lot!

Plusy: Beautiful islands and sea. The resort is aging but location, staff and well timed activities contributed to an outstanding time.

Minusy: Mini lock needs updating. A pool would be a well received improvement. Food was good, but could use more variety. The wine menu needs work. Poor choices, marked up rediculously. There are many inexpensive but far better wines available in Manila.

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

Minusy: Well the rooms I think..

Plusy: The staff were amazing - we were both sick one night and the dr came straight away and gave us the medication we needed, the staff let us check out late because we didn't feel well. The chef even made us some plain rice outside of meal times so that we could eat something gentle. The reef outside the beach is one of the best we've seen in the Philippians without diving. The food was great and the had a salad bar! (Rare if you stay on the mainland) this stay was fantastic - the inclusive trips to snake island and the cave made our stay even better and the sunrise kayak to the big lagoon beat all the tourist trips so we could see some of the more easily scared wildlife like Philipino kingfishers and Palawan hornbills (highly recommend)

Minusy: We didn't know that there was a gym until the last day.

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

Minusy: The food must be upgraded

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

Minusy: Airport transfers.

Plusy: The amazing stuff and incredible place

Plusy: Very private perfect for couples get away..

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

Plusy: 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!

Plusy: Clean and friendly staff

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

Plusy: Efficiency of staff,cleanliness, reliability of staff

Minusy: Wish all meals were included Connection with airswift was disappointing. Somehow becomes a let down for the end of the trip with crazy mixup airport changes. You easily forget how wonderful thenusland is

Plusy: Paradise!

Minusy: Nothing

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

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

Plusy: Beautiful Scenery, good facilities, clean environment, honest attendants/crew/. Very good activities/island hopping, and everything..

Minusy: Small boutique but it is good in a way

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

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: 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: The view

Minusy: The gecko sound

Plusy: 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.

Plusy: Wines

Minusy: 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.

Plusy: Location

Minusy: Should worn guests about sandfleas

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

Minusy: Nothing to fault!

Plusy: 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.

Minusy: 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.

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: Free breakfast, coffee

Minusy: Ants Would have preferred sheets rather than a thick brown blanket (more hygienic) Door was broken Bathroom was not isolated (no real door)

Plusy: Good stuffs,passsional &helpful, nice place

Minusy: Non

Plusy: Despite rain and all odds that a monsoon could throw your way, my second stay at SPIN with friends couldn't have been any better as the good SPIN folks are always there to make your stay an absolute breeze. They even waived the charge for a day after our flight from Manila got cancelled/postponed to another day. Can't thank them enough for their generosity, kind hospitality and killer recommendations. A stellar designed spacious hostel that invites heaps of natural light with cool common spaces and above all, friendly peeps is what awaits one at SPIN.

Plusy: it was clean and chic and functional. true value for money. the staff were all very nice and friendly

Plusy: I really liked the hostel, they had activities every night, and you could book all the boat/ other trips right there , breakfast was awesome to be at a hostel.. and staff was very friendly and helpful ..

Plusy: Location Great! Awesome Staff! We had a private room very comfortable! Hostel organises evening activities - A movie night, BBQ, Beer Pong etc! Very fun and great way to meet travellers! And the staff are very helpful! The breakfast is great! Lots of options!

Plusy: Best staff. Buffet breakfast. Barbecue night. Good location.

Minusy: Ants

Plusy: Great location, friendly staff, delicious breakfast, spacious rooms and showers.

Plusy: This is a very nice hostel. The decor and layout is lovely in the common areas and there are lots of areas to chill out in. The dorms are basic and have great aircon, big comfortable beds, good bed lights and power points and plenty of storage space. All the staff are very nice and professional and the theme nights are well run. Breakfast was fantastic.

Plusy: This is a wonderful hostel in El Nido. The staff went above and beyond to ensure you enjoyed your stay: very friendly, informative, and helpful. I can honestly say this has been one of my favourite hostels to stay in. It exceeded my expectations. The breakfast is amazing, especially the pancakes. The rooms were clean and spacious. The bed was huge and comfortable. The bathrooms were very clean. Great location in El Nido. Security at both entrances 24/7, it couldn't be safer.

Plusy: 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.

Minusy: 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.

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

Minusy: 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!!!

Plusy: 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.

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

Plusy: 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.

Minusy: You pay for what you get I guess

Plusy: 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!).

Minusy: 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.

Plusy: 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.

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

Plusy: 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.

Plusy: 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!

Minusy: 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

Plusy: 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!

Plusy: The staff were very friendly and very helpful.

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

Minusy: nothing

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

Minusy: This place is perfection

Plusy: Amazing sea view room, great activities, fantastic snorkelling, good gym and nice to relax as very tranquil.

Minusy: Maybe more food options

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

Plusy: Absolutely luxurious

Minusy: Could not falter in any way

Plusy: The awesome staff!!!!! And one of the most comfortable beds we’ve ever slept in in all our travels. And the view is priceless.

Minusy: The location but all the other resorts are also not easily accessible so it’s not like we really have a choice.

Plusy: The staff are wonderful A+++

Minusy: Put more food selection on the menu but they are flexible for any request.

Plusy: The location is amazing !

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

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: I loved the resort, the staff were amazing! We loved Allan, he took us to many different islands and he was so informative. He taught us lots about the locals & culture. In addition, he was very prepared & attentive! Excellent travel guide!

Minusy: The only thing that could of been improved was the bugs in the room at night time.

Plusy: Staff was very nice. Bed is confortable. Beach is very nice and good for snorkeling. Food is good but comes in very small portion

Minusy: Rooms are nice during the day but way too bright at night. There is actually no need of light during night time as there are many gaps from the curtains and big windows all around the door with no curtains/shade. Unfortunately they have monopoly on the food, that is why they can abuse customers on the price. Again, food was good but way too expensive for the quantity. No alcohol, but I can’t imagine how much would be a San Miguel there.

Plusy: The service was absolutely superb and the resort itself absolutely beautiful! The staff helped us with everything we needed and the resort was perfect for a relaxing holiday. Beautiful place and we would definitely come back!

Minusy: The wifi connection was only available in the lobby unfortunately. The road to the hotel was very inaccessible, but they offered free shuttle to access the town.

Plusy: Friendly staff Clean rooms Very relaxing place Amazing view

Minusy: A bit of a bumpy road heading to the hotel but that is a minor issue

Plusy: The kindness of the taxi driver, the best!

Minusy: The horrible attention of the receptionist. We needed to go to the hospital and the taxi driver offered to bring us there directly but the receptionist rejected to help us with this request also paying the taxi.

Plusy: Stayed 3 nights, it’s a great place to stay and I would recommend the place. Access from the street is via an allay onto the beach where the hotel picks you up, adds a feature to the stay.

Plusy: The bungalows are surrounded by wonderful, well kept gardens and two pools overlooking the sea. Sunset is amazing, views are great. Staff is very friendly and helpful in arranging trips and transport.

Minusy: The road to town is about 15 min walk, which is no problem but at night the road is very dark and after 10pm it feels a bit unsafe, cause by then also the local shops on the way are closed. You can always go by trickshaw though. The resort only has wifi at the reception and 3G/4G connection (if you have a local simcard) is pretty bad. But that's almost everywhere in El Nido. Breakfast is pretty standard and small.

Plusy: Smaczne śniadanie. Dobra lokalizacja. Za głośny personel.

Minusy: Za głośny personel. Wszędzie było ich słychać.

Plusy: Hotel jest pięknie położony, urządzony gustownie i ze smakiem. Panuje w nim harmonia i przyjazna atmosfera. Goście się dopasowują i czuliśmy się tam komfortowo. Jedzenie w restauracji smaczne, nawet muzyka jest idealnie dopasowana do podziwianych zachodów słońca. Bardzo czysto, obsługa miła i pomocna. Wszystko jest tu proste i da się zorganizować. Idealne miejsce na wypoczynek i oderwanie od świata.

Minusy: Pokoje są trochę za małe, więc nie dziwi brak lodówki, a bardzo by się przydała przy takich upałach. Wyposażenie pokojów jest dość skromne. Pomimo nazwy miejsca (Cadlao Beach) nie jest to plaża, a kamieniste wybrzeże, ale widoki i tak zapierają dech w piersiach :)

Plusy: Very nice “bungalow” like little houses in a very well kept garden, close to the swimming pool and by the sea. Super cozy, nice location (short tricycle ride to “downtown” provided by the hotel), and amazing staff

Minusy: If you need wifi - it just works in the reception.

Plusy: Love how it’s looks and amazing view. They are best for activities guide but kind more Expansive than other guide. There was mosquito cover over bed . So clean rooms . Free pickup.. even they are really care ..

Minusy: Lizards everywhere. Frogs makes noise at night.. and i was shocked about it.

Plusy: Everyone was kind and hospitable. Food was incredibly delicious. Resort had a wonderful view.

Minusy: The restaurant could have been more proactive on refills.

Plusy: The staff were amazing and so friendly and helpful. My flight was delayed and they made sure to arrange shuttle bus to arrive for the next morning and didn't charge me for the night I couldn't make it due to the cancelation of the flight. They also prepared us breakfast to take away with us for our early morning flight and water even though we hadn't asked. Amazing location and the rooms were so comfortable.

Plusy: Totally away from the crowd and the resort is just nice

Minusy: The road to the resort is under construction so walking there isn’t that good but there’s shuttle to take you

Plusy: 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!

Plusy: 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 !

Minusy: 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.

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

Minusy: 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.

Plusy: 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..

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

Plusy: Everything! Secluded and chilled.

Plusy: the weather and the simple straw house design

Minusy: 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

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

Minusy: 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.

Plusy: 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.

Minusy: 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.

Plusy: 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.

Minusy: All was fine.

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

Minusy: 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.

Plusy: The facility was very clean and well attended to. The view from the pool spectacular. The food at the restaurant was the best we have experienced in the Philippines and we have been here 16 months, stayed at a number of resorts and many restaurants.

Minusy: Getting to the hotel is a bit of an experience but worth it. The beach front for the hotel is small and somewhat rocky but you have plenty of beaches to experience elsewhere. Most hotels on the different islands provide senior discount with Philippine drivers license as proof. In Palawan they do not. You have to have the government issued coupon book to get the discount.

Plusy: Food

Minusy: The location. It was a bit risky since the road was too small. It’s Only a meter wide and you had to pass through the shoreline, in the sands riding a tricycle

Minusy: - kiepskie sniadania - kiepski internet

Plusy: If you want to see mountain and sea in one, this place is perfect. It's a little bit far from the center but it's good for those seeking tranquility. You can avail their free transfer or arrange pick-up if you are going to the town center. They have jacuzi and swimming pool. Staff are accomodating. This place is special as this is where i got engaged :)

Minusy: The road leading to the place are not well paved. One night, we went to town center and asked for a transfer, we didn't get a reply. We ended up walking from Alley and Abet to the hotel. As it rained that night, the road was slippery to walk on. Although, it didn't really ruin the experience as we just treated it as exercise.

Plusy: The view was fantastic of the Palawan...sunsets were gorgeous...and the staff had exceeded all my expectations by a long shot...the breakfast buffet was killer and excellent tasting every day...evening meals and cocktails were fabulous also...staff took great care in cleanliness of facilities and rooms...everyone was pleasant to deal with and I never felt like security of my belongings was an issue...everyone was so helpful...I would have no problems going back to this place in the future...

Plusy: The staff are friendly and accomodating. They provide a vehicle to bring you to the center and pick up.

Minusy: The road to the hotel is bumpy. If they could possibly make it better.

Plusy: The food at the Nest is the best we have experienced.

Minusy: The community road to the facility needs some work.

Plusy: Can't recommend this hotel enough. The staff were incredibly friendly and polite. They made our stay exceptional despite the adverse weather :) we loved staying here and would highly recommend staying here!

Plusy: Staff were friendly and really helpful!

Plusy: The location is nearly unbeatable. The views are stunning especially at sunrise and at sunset. The hotel has decent food and is beautifully built. The staff is very friendly. Rooms were generous and clean.

Minusy: The resort is very pricey. This does not come as a surprise because the space is limited in el nido and the location is brilliant. Secluded but with a movie-like view of the islands and rocks engulfing el nido's bay.

Plusy: cocktails

Minusy: food

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: I booked two rooms, the private villa and then a regular double bed room. My boyfriend and I stayed in the villa while my friend and her boyfriend stayed in the regular cheaper room. Our experiences were quite different. I’ll speak on her experience in my negatives, as my experience was mostly positive. First, I LOVED my stay. I think this hotel is a bit pricey, and I think should I return I would feel torn between staying here or staying at a different hotel of the same price point that has better amenities (like a restaurant serving food and drinks all day). However, I also feel I would return because I love that the villa is unique, unpretentious, and charming. Upon arrival, we were shown our private villa & private pool which had the most gorgeous view. It was serene. Our room had a beautifully made bed with a bottle of complimentary white wine sitting on top (huge plus in my book). Our fridge was fully stocked with beer and soft drinks, and we were provided snacks (these weren’t free, but everything is pretty cheap in the Philippines so we went for it). We even had another more private balcony attached through our bedroom, with a view of the cliff. We had breakfast delivered to our room every day which was lovely. Our WiFi worked well (a rare find in the Philippines). We opted to spend our arrival day just hanging out in our villa in our pool since we didn’t get settled in until 2pm which is too late for any tours. It was perfect and I enjoyed it very much. I would’ve loved to spend more time just doing that! I felt the front desk staff was kind, patient, and helpful once we arrived. They helped set up our private tour, and did their best to make us happy! I would definitely come again.

Minusy: The stairs to the hotel are steep and pretty extensive. I’m in my young 20s and in good shape, but after partying in Las Cabanas for the night it was a bit of a nuisance to navigate the stairs at night while intoxicated. I don’t recommend this for people with mobility needs and/or not in good physical health. Although, this climb is what leads to the beautiful and stunning view at the private villa, so well worth it. It is more removed from the main area of El Nido; however, we took trikes back and forth and they were inexpensive and always readily available. If you are on a tight budget, maybe staying closer into the main area is a better bang for your buck. My friend stayed in a regular double room, and I felt her room looked much more worn down and drab, with ugly florescent lighting. Her overall room/bathroom were just not as nice as mine (in the villa). She complained a lot about noise from her upstairs neighbor. I don’t know if they were just really loud and she was being cranky and sensitive, or if thin walls and noise are a genuine problem for the non-private villas. Her toilet also was clogged in the middle of the night which was not great, and she had trouble finding the front desk staff to help (although, I have to say I found him no problem and he seemed very nice and helpful!) My own cons from my own point of view are 1. Noise. The street noise in the lower level private villa was terrible. I was very jet-lagged and could barely sleep during night time as it already stood, but the car horns, music, and dogs barking was a nuisance. My boyfriend (who somehow wasn’t jet lagged) managed to sleep through most of it. Also at about 5am every animal and insect wakes up and makes lots of racket. To be honest, this didn’t bother me because it’s a tropical place surrounded by nature. That’s what i loved about it. But, if you’re a light sleeper, not the place for you. I also wish there was a restaurant in this hotel or even one closer nearby.

Plusy: lovely

Minusy: nothing

Plusy: Piękny widok, super śniadania, rewelacyjna obsluga

Plusy: It was value for money

Minusy: 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.

Plusy: Nothing

Minusy: It’s like sleeping next to the highway and you can hear everything from your neighbours and you can’t enjoy your staying there because even the tv you can hear from next door . Not worth a penny. We booked other hotel next morning because couldn’t sleep all night and the stuff was not helpful at all next morning when we said what the problem was .

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

Minusy: Nothing...all our choices was provided

Plusy: 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.

Plusy: Clean and the staff were friendly and informative

Minusy: Na

Plusy: Considering the price, we were very impressed at the hot shower and the strength of the WiFi- which we discovered is hard to find at lots of other places in El Nido and Palawan. Free breakfast is good also.

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

Minusy: The stairs

Plusy: Breakfast was good

Minusy: Steep slope, No access to pool

Plusy: The breakfast was good and the staff were very helpful!

Minusy: Toilets are clog

Plusy: miejsce polozone miedzy skalami z pieknym widokiem na zatoke z wlasnym tarasm w pierwszej lini brzegowej doskonala lokalizacja duzy minus za brak lodowek w pokojach

Minusy: lokalizacja, mily personel, minus to brak lodowek w pokojach

Plusy: The view at their breakfast dining area is superb!

Minusy: There was no wifi service the whole time we were there and reception personnel not so helpful..

Plusy: Great location in the centre of el Nido. Staff were pleasant.

Minusy: I was in the beach front room. From 7am there was people directly outside the window arranging boat tours and making noise. They have also just erected scaffolding which mean noise and obscures the view.

Plusy: Staff was great

Minusy: Bed wasnt so comfortable. Right next to our place was a propanbutan shop and the workers there were quite noisy. Breakfast could be richier.

Plusy: My husband told me, our view from our room is amazing, the best view in his life.

Minusy: Nothing.

Plusy: I like the location. Away from the busy street and it is near the beach. I love the room with a seaview and the breakfast location as well! Staffs are so friendly. I would recommend this one to my friends.

Minusy: Nothing

Plusy: The property is located virtually on the beach front. You can’t and shouldn’t swim there, but it’s well positioned to go grab the island hopping tours and to see the stunning sunset. You’re also super close to all the restaurants and shops. Solid air conditioning, decent breakfast too! And WiFi in your room! A revelation in Palawan.

Minusy: Climbing up and down the stairs can get a bit tiresome, especially since the dining area is on the second or third floor. The room doors seem a bit flimsy and the locks are very simple and easy to break, but there’s a safety deposit box if you’re concerned for your valuables.

Plusy: I like the staff and the facilities..very comfortable

Minusy: The air conditioner to weak..

Plusy: Staff at reception were very helpful and friendly. Great location. Fast service at breakfast. Very good WiFi - could stream Netflix uninterrupted.

Plusy: Zdecydowany plus tego hotelu to taras z widokiem na zatokę. Tam też są serwowane śniadania, a i wieczorkiem można tam przysiąść, przy bezalkoholowym ;) Gdybym teraz miała rezerwować, wzięłabym pokój z widokiem na zatokę. Drugi zdecydowany plus, to za lokalizację. Trochę na uboczu, a jednak w centrum :) Do "centru wszechświata" jest kilka kroków, czyli do ulicy gdzie można znaleźć trójkołowca, czy knajpki. Trzeci zdecydowany plus, to plaża na wyciągnięcie ręki i start wszystkich wycieczek – Island Hopping. My zdecydowaliśmy się na tour C i A (zamawiane w hotelu). A nam się bardziej podobał. Śniadania dobre, do wyboru. Personel miły i pomocny. Obudziliśmy panią o 5 rano jak szliśmy na prom :) Właśnie kolejny plus. Hotel blisko terminala skąd odpływają promy na Coron.

Minusy: Pierwszego dnia nie było ciepłej wody. Prysznice zamontowane na stałe, brak możliwości regulacji.

Plusy: Śniadania na tarasie z widokiem na morze

Minusy: far from the city

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: 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 :)

Plusy: Staff were awesome. Absolutely a pleasure to talk to. The climb to the restaurant well worth it. Breakfast omelettes were great. Recommended

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 room was amazing, Really spacious, comfy bed and nice balcony. The staff are super friendly and helpful with things to do and see. There is also bike rental from the hotel so very easy to get around. The food was amazing!! The best thing was the sunsets from the restaurant!!

Minusy: The shower didn’t work properly unfortunately, Also there is a very steep walk up to the restaurant so be prepared for that. There is a bit of construction around but not that noisy, just a bit dusty if you are drying things outside.

Plusy: Location - ideal for the quieter and prettier beaches of el Nido

Minusy: Construction was happening so views from the hotels were impacted and the pool was out of service so we only slept at the property.

Plusy: Nice place

Minusy: Too many stairs Food quality and variety should improve The hotel provides only to small bottles of water and no refill in a place with no drinking water. Seem an easy way to make money as well as unnecessary ware of plastic

Plusy: the bed was very comfortable and the location of the hotel was very quiet yet near to the beach.

Minusy: the bidet,the pressure was so strong

Plusy: Not good for those with knee problemes/old people/handicap due to the many stairs.

Minusy: Not good for those with knee problemes/old people/handicap due to the many stairs.

Plusy: Airconditioning worked well.

Minusy: 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.

Plusy: 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.

Minusy: 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.

Plusy: 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.

Minusy: 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.

Plusy: The staff were very helpful and friendly.

Minusy: 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

Plusy: 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.

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

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

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

Plusy: 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.

Minusy: 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.

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

Minusy: 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.

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

Minusy: 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)

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

Minusy: Needs a mini fridge to keep waters cold!

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

Minusy: 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.

Plusy: 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!

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

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

Minusy: N/A

Plusy: 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.

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

Plusy: Everything Mom makes excellent coffee

Minusy: No wifi

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

Minusy: The serving of the breakfast is too small.

Plusy: Recepcja czynna 24h, nie było problemu z zameldowaniem o 2 w nocy.

Minusy: Brak internetu.

Plusy: Landscape

Minusy: Brown out during night

Plusy: Great staff, always friendly. Nice location close to the shopping street of corong-corong.

Plusy: beautiful garden, in the jungle good restaurant for breakfast (complementary) with a nice view

Minusy: bed not comfortable rooms are small, few equipment no wifi in the room

Plusy: Chyba tylko lokalizacja i aranżacja zieleni przed domkami, pokojami.

Minusy: Jeżeli rezerwuje pokój to lubie mieć pełne prawdziwe informacje o nim. Tak istotna kwestia jak ciepła woda pod prysznicem w momencie kiedy płaci się prawie 150zł za noc. To miejsce kojaży mi się z podobnym noclegiem w Tajlandi który kosztował może jakieś 25-30zł tylko, że wszystko było jasne jeśli chodzi o wyposażenie i stosunek cena/jakość. Klimatyzacja tak wyła że trzeba było ją wyłączać bo o spaniu nie było mowy. Łazienka oprócz zimnej wody, ruszająca się klapa, brak haczyków na ubrania, brak wszystkiego. Brud pod materacami. Obsługa kłamie podczas zamawiania wycieczek, lepiej nie zamawiać u nich. Śniadania hmm bez szału, warto iść na przeciwko no chyba że jest mało czasu przed wyjazdem na A,B,C,D. Sumując to miejsce trafiło na moją listę najgorszych noclegów na pozycje 1!!!! Patrze oczywiście pod kątem cena/jakość bo gdyby ta miejscówa kosztowała 50zł za noc to siedziałbym cicho.

Plusy: 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.

Minusy: 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.

Plusy: 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.

Plusy: 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!

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

Plusy: 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!
