4.0 / 10.0
We spent 3 nights at this hotel. The hotel is old, but room is clean, has good WiFi, and the owner and staff are super friendly. Our balcony faces the sea, and it was lovely to sit there after a long day of excursions, enjoying a cold beer and listening to the waves. The hotel is located in a quiet area, about a 7-10 minute walk from the town. They offer free drive to town with tricykle, but we just used that one time, because we appreciated the short walk to the town through an authentic Filipino residential area. We were lucky with the weather and enjoyed clear starry skies on all our walks.

Lovely staff. Couldn’t do enough to help. What a view you get over the pool looking at the ocean and the islands.

Although an older hotel, its location is quiet and it has the best pool overlooking the ocean. The staff are really lovely and it was a wonderful stay.

Where do I start? First, the place is not the same as in the pictures.The owner of the place is so rude!
Where my sibling stayed, they all got a lot of bites! Not sure if they were bed bugs or what, but something bit them.
The room had lot of ants and the tv and bathroom were not working - clogged toilet that wouldn't flush. When we asked for the room to be cleaned, the cups dirty and the dirty towels not replace!
We had to pay going in and out of this place, Don't be fooled by the website this place is out of nowhere you could stay somewhere where is cheapear and convenient to you...

2.0 / 10.0
The pictures are very deceiving. Pool is dirty,never seen the filter on, the whole time we were there. It shows that the maintenance of the property is very minimal. The only thing great about the resort are the staffs. I wouldn't recommend the property to anyone. It was very disappointing.

I had a wonderful first visit and look forward to coming back again. The owner Mr. Uli, went out of his way to make sure I was comfortable, and get me to my island hopping cruise on time! Warm and friendly staff. Very helpful. Beautiful location on the beach. シ
4.0 / 10.0
Truthful review. The only two pleasing things at this hotel was we had a beautiful view ocean view from our balcony and the staff were excellent and so friendly.
The hotel itself needs a complete renovation. There was a lot of rust and rotted wood around the exterior of the building. The owner was alway in the lounge area which is ok, but we always struggled to get change. He had to pull money out of his pocket. Very shabby business practices here.
For my room, the sliding door was the only door to the room. The lock did not work so they had to replace it but he told me the people that checked out that morning had no issues. Complete lie because when their maintenance guy tried, he couldn’t get it to work either. Had loose tiles on the floor. No water pressure in the shower. When I opened the bathroom door from the inside, the door knob came off. The air conditioner could not keep the room cool enough during the day but night was ok.
The reviews were good that is why we got a room here, but I wouldn’t recommend staying here. Also, it is about 15 minutes from a road to get to a tricycle or taxi because of a very narrow way to the hotel.
10.0 / 10.0
The view from the rooms and the pool is exactly like you see on the pictures. It is spectacular. The staff is super friendly and very attentive. Lot of times they serve you the things you might need without asking. For example towels for your excursions.. You can conveniently book excursions with them and they provide free transportation or rent a scooter from them. Meals and cocktails available as well. We had a fantastic time.
2.0 / 10.0
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
8.0 / 10.0
Overall, good experience and beautiful view. Limited transportation when it's high tide in the area and it was very dark in the evening when walking back to the hotel without any transportation access.

8.0 / 10.0
Great location! The hotel is on the beach side so you’re able to catch amazing sunrise/sunset views. The staff was very nice and super helpful in accommodating our needs and coordinating breakfast each morning as well as the island hopping tours. The breakfast was good..The rooms were good..a little rundown but for the price, it’s worth it! Overall, we were all satisfied with our stay and would recommend. They also provide roundtrip transportation from the airport.
4.0 / 10.0
The view is great but the rooms, stairs, bathrooms and pool are so dirty, everything is broken and not working. You will only pay for the view that’s what it is. You need to put money out every time. You borrow an umbrella you have to give a deposit the moment you walked in you have to put a deposit. Terrible! The owner is always on top of his staff and making the so uncomfortable in front of the guests. Scolding them in front of us. Staying here was a waste.
10.0 / 10.0
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.
10.0 / 10.0
The view from the room is amazing, after a day of island hopping you come back to a place very relaxing. The staff are so friendly, courteous and very accommodating. We had a very relaxing stay.

The pool is fantastic. The view is amazing. The staff is friendly, helpful, and eager to please their guest. You have to get to know the Owner "Olly" - him and his wife Rose are super cool host.

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.

Amazing staff and amazing view.
8.0 / 10.0
Come here for the views!! Unbeatable view of the ocean and mountains from every room.
The location is a little off the beaten path, but that's what makes it nice. The only sound you'll hear at night is the sound of waves on the shore. It's an easy walk to town (about 15 mins), and the hotel also offers free transportation any any time via motor trike.
To the reviewers who said there is no transportation, that is completely false.
Sure the property is a little rustic and needs a few repairs, but I challenge to you to find any truly 5-star resort in El Nido after 3 years of the pandemic and a typhoon. This is a great value for what you get.
The water is hot, the A/C (and the beer) is cold, the rooms are clean, and the Wi-Fi is fast. What more could you ask for?
The staff is SO nice, and they always had anything we asked for. They even went out of their way to make sure they had our breakfast order every night, and the owner even went so far as to carry our bags into town after a huge rain storm.
Thank you for a lovely week! Mabuhay :)

DO NOT COME HERE !
They have no transportation! It’s impossible to get to the hotel and they make you walk across the sand and a dangerous bridge to even get halfway there !
The hotel is next to a cemetery!!!
It has raw sewage and trash all over the property!
The whole place is in shambles and beyond repair
The rooms are infested with beg bugs
The appliances are destroyed and there is water damage all over
They have no blackout curtains and the lights shine in all night
There is dangerous areas everywhere and is very unsafe !
This is a danger to anyone traveling here
Please review my pictures and please do not come here

The rooms were dirty . Had used soap left in bathroom. Windows were broken and taped shut. Fire alarms missing. Very run down.
2.0 / 10.0
We picked this place because it was listed on the Qantas website. This is not a 3 star resort, maybe 1 or 1.5 star.
On the plus side - the view and infinity pool is amazing. The recommended island hopping tour was great and the kitchen staff were very nice. Beds were clean.
On the negative side - the bathroom we had for 4 people was smelly. We left them the room key over 3 days and the staff only cleaned the room once , we cleaned the bathroom ourselves. We had to ask for 1 or 2 toilet paper total each day for 4 people. The room rate came with breakfast and on the 2nd night they asked if we could all order the same thing so its easier for them. We said no.
There were power blackouts and the staff couldnt turn the generator on without the owner there which was just ridiculous ☹️. Wont be coming back.

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.

Pros
- A view to 'die' for
- New Swimming pool and Jacuzzi
Cons
- No extras - for everything in addition (extra coffee, water, etc. you have to pay for)
- Owner should be less visible and not use the dinner place as his office to keep an eye on the staff
- Rooms OK, but need some maintenance. Aircon is like a Fokker 50 engine
- We expected more for the price we paid
- Pictures on Expedia are well presented

Old and sheets and towels are not good. It’s too expensive for a place that has not good amenities and looks like it’s not that clean.

My husband and I stayed at this hotel for a few nights of our honeymoon. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by very friendly staff. The hotel is away from the hustle and bustle of the main El Nido area which makes it much more peaceful. However, the hotel provides a free shuttle service whenever you’d like to go to town.We did Tour A through the hotel and had a great time! We also enjoyed breakfast each morning provided by the hotel.The view from the hotel is breathtaking and makes the experience incredible. Watching the sunset by the pool was a key memory for me.

The view from this property is amazing, and I love how its quiet, away from the bars and loud partying in El Nido proper.Yes, the road to get there is bumpy, but no problem, because the trikes are on call all day and come and get you almost immediately wherever you are. The food in the restaurant could be improved, but the service was wonderful.

Views from the property are unbelievable! Hotel WiFi was down the entire 6 day stay which was very inconvenient. Staff was friendly, knowledgeable, professional and helpful. They made our stay very comfortable. Rooms were clean and the breakfast that was included everyday was delicious. Transportation into town was very flexible to our schedule.Overall, we enjoy our stay.
