Paradise in Palawan with a few suggestions
Pros:

Beautiful hotel with many ammenities. Nice pool and pretty oceanview. However, they do have problems with the breakfast that is too slow, this is a suggestions for future impovements. If you don’t feel that it is working for you, you should speak out. Another point is the bed, for whatever reason the bed in queen size, making the experience less confortable that it should be

Amazing stay for a family of 5 with little kids
Pros:

Location and Atmosphere: This is a perfect place for me and my family. I have a toddler and a 6 yr old that was able to play freely in the pool, sand and beach safely. The life guard on site is very attentive to us.

Rooms: I booked a family room that has 3 beds. We felt very comfortable with the beds. Bathroom is clean with modern look. We got the garden view. You can hear the insects when you open the patio door especially at night.

Service: Amazing! The people are very attentive, accommodating, and honest. I booked a same day spa treatment that they were able to fulfill. Sampaguita Hot stone massage is a must!

Amenities: Pool is big enough and warm. Paddle board, kayak, life vest and beach chairs available on the beach with no additional pay. Hotel is by the beach which makes it very convenient after a beach day.

Beachfront Comfort with the Best of Lio Estate
Pros:

Huni Lio is an excellent choice if you're looking for a relaxing beachfront stay in El Nido. The hotel sits directly on Lio Beach, so you're just a few steps away from soft sand, calm waters, and beautiful sunset views. Waking up to the sound of the waves and being able to walk straight onto the beach is one of its biggest highlights.

Another major advantage is its location within Lio Tourism Estate. The estate is clean, peaceful, and thoughtfully planned, with a great selection of restaurants, cafés, boutique shops, and art spaces all within walking distance. It offers a more laid-back atmosphere than El Nido town while still providing plenty of dining and leisure options. The proximity to Lio Airport also makes arrival and departure incredibly convenient.

Overall, Huni Lio combines beachfront comfort with the convenience and charm of Lio Estate, making it a great option for couples, families, or anyone looking for a relaxing and hassle-free El Nido getaway.

Wonderful Teambuilding experience in Huni Lio
Pros:

The location is in Lio Beach, and this is part of the Ayala Estate.
Good atmosphere, laid back and quiet. Good for couples on honeymoon or families wanting to bond, as well as corporations to go for a teambuilding.

ROOMS are good, sizeable and comfortable. All the necessary toiletries are provided. Cleanliness is also very good! Noise level, quiet and endearing especially if you want a laid back atmosphere.

Value for money if used for business and a little bit high end, but superior for guest arrangements. SUPERB service.

Amenities such as pool, function room, etc. are basic and would be good to have a GYM as an addition.

Wonderful First Stay in El Nido with Excellent Service and Location
Pros:

It was our first time visiting El Nido, and we had a wonderful experience. The staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and always willing to help. Our room was spotless and very well maintained. The hotel’s location was also perfect, just a short walk from many great restaurants and attractions. We truly enjoyed our stay and would definitely choose to stay here again on our next visit to El Nido.

Muy lindo hotel, mala seguridad en la playa
Pros:

Habitacion muy confortable y bien equipada. Personal muy amable. Desayuno y restaurante muy bueno. La playa muy cerca, muy bonita y agradable para nadar el mar

La seguridad en la playa, nos robaron nuestras pertenencias mientras fuimos a hacer una corta caminata. Los guardias muy distraidos viendo sus propios celulares. Mala experencia que baja la calificacion
