right on the beach
rooms were outdated

The website photos of this place did not do it justice. Right on the beach, with bar & restaurant and the most amazing sunsets. We had rooms 5 & 6 and did not realise how many rooms were actually at Stunning Republic over 2 floors. For those with a disability you should take this into consideration when booking. The rooms (sorry forgot to take any photos of room) were of a great size with a small balcony. You could buy water & snacks at reception. It was easy to get transport from out the front to El Nido town or to Marimegmeg Beach.
Food service was quite slow

Location, away from all the noise of the main town, but still plenty of bars/rests.

Good value for money.
The bar at night could have a little but more of a vibe

The hotel location is perfect - one of the best possible in El Nido. The hotel has its own small, but clean and comfortable private beach with a few sunbeds and a cocktail bar, and the wi-fi at the beach is also available (the signal at the beach is even stronger and better than in the hotel rooms). Plenty of nice restaurants in the nearby area, and the tuk-tuk to El Nido downtown is only PHP 100.
I normally do not take breakfast, so the breakfast topic is not interesting for me. The coffee, however, was not the best one, but for me this is not a big issue.

the sunset view
We had a fantastic stay in El Nido despite challenges at this hotel and the Booking.com description being inaccurate to the room.
Pros of staying: easy access by tricycle off the main road, beautiful sunset views, free kayak rentals, great and attentive bar and restaurant crew, good but very limited breakfast, air-conditioned rooms with outdoor drying racks for clothes.
Cons of staying: far from town, no hot water, brief loss of power, terrible to no internet, dogs and cats with mange that will put their paws on your lap while you eat, variable quantity of food for breakfast (sometimes 1 egg, sometimes 2), they do not clean your room, front desk will lie to your face over several important issues (see below), (and minor issue) instant packet coffee only.
As for the front desk issues: I at first thought there was a gap in communication, but things kept happening that made it clear they were just negligent and rude. I would like to preface this by saying I've spent over 4 months in the Philippines with no issues communicating even when both individuals don't understand the other's language. This hotel's website is in English and is marketed in English.
The front desk also showed their hand by remembering several details including our van transfer time and date while pretending to not remember several other things they literally wrote down on the same sheet of paper. Most of our communications were with Catherine Apa.
1. They tried to kick us out before the day they told us we were checking out.
We had booked a 3-night stay and tried to add another day online, but were unable to modify our reservation. We booked a 4th night separately and were happy to switch rooms if we had to. The first thing we did on arrival was to ask if we could stay in the same room for all 4 nights. They said OK and scheduled our van transfer to the airport the morning after our 4th night.

located in the beach close to bars and restaurants.
A small pool would have been excellent .
4.5
Perfect place to stay to get a comfortable place to stay for a few nights while during the day we explore the beauty El Nido has to offer. Great staff, timely response before the booking.
They didn’t make clear that separate from the display of basic breakfast like toast, we could order the full set of breakfast that was included until the final day of stay such as the Filipino breakfast plate. (we stayed 3 days).

2.0
Right at the beach. Location is not bad
Outdated. Bathroom is horrible. The room was never cleaned even after asking reception. So overpriced.
5.0
Clean, comfortable room. Room even has a sofa bed. The view of sunset. The breath of fresh air, this place has a fresh and tranquil vibe. Even the sea looks tranquil in this side of town :) Although the serving time for food is a bit long but the food is good. The staff are friendly and respectful.
No hair dryer available. And the shower curtain is too short, they should get a longer one, so the other side of the bathroom does not get wet :)
If you want to try other restaurants they're a bit far from this place.

Friendly Staff. Nice bed and location. Beach view is really amazing.
Old facilities. Brown water comes out of the sink. It's too pricey. Breakfast is a bit terrible. Not much option for foreigners. The door lock is really annoying but good thing is that they transferred us to a better room that has a good door lock.
3.5
Friendly staff. Provided laundry and breakfast. Good wifi.
As I was staying there for 5 nights I would have liked if they had cleaned my room or bathroom at least once during the stay. The bathroom need freshening up after a few days.

Great location. Large room. The WiFi is really slow and only available in a small area near the lobby, we had two bulbs broken in the room and we asked the staff to change them, instead they changed our room giving us their best ocean front rooms, we love it especially the view and sunset.
